PaulC's new town names
I was in the mood for a new town names grf, so here it is. The grf includes 240 real place names from South Africa, which should make a change from the standard Latin American ones you get in tropical climate.

Re: South African town names
This is a nice release, I was wanting to make a new map and your names GRF has given me the inspiration to do one inspired in South Africa!
Re: PaulC's new town names
I felt inspired to create another set; this time it's Alaskan town names for the arctic climate. Enjoy!

Re: PaulC's new town names
Do these sets generate African/Alaskan-like town names, or do they just use real town names?

Re: PaulC's new town names
I always use real town names. It's easier, and always going to be more authentic.Zephyris wrote:Do these sets generate African/Alaskan-like town names, or do they just use real town names?

Re: PaulC's new town names
My only objection is the last name: "Yp", It sounds horrible when you pronounce it.
Thanks Michael.

Re: PaulC's new town names
Does the South African GRF also include the increased crime rate?
I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
Re: PaulC's new town names
It's been a while for this old topic of mine, but I've got another grf to share. 372 real place names from South Korea, excluding all the major cities.

Re: PaulC's new town names
Slovenian town names:
This grf uses the following characters:
Č č Š š Ž ž
so for town names to display properly you'll need to use an additional grf such as unifont; OTTD users should be fine with OpenGFX, and other font replacements may work as well but I'm not sure.

Re: PaulC's new town names
Due to a (strange) conflict between this GRF and another (identically named) uploaded at BaNaNaS, I took the freedom to rename yours to include your name (PaulC) at the end. I hope you forgive me the rudeness of doing this without asking you first, but it was causing some major issues throughout our system I also do apologize that it was possible in the first place.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
