Took the list:
http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lijst_van_ ... _gemeenten

Stripped all the towns with less than 10000 inhabitants.

Resulted in 220 towns.

Place the file FLTWNNAM.DAT into your ObjData folder.

I would like to do a similar thing with Welsh/English names. After you have a list what do you do next ?


Thanks

You should convert one of the lists in the game, e.g. LTOWNNAM.DAT, to xml with Locotool and have a look at it.
It will explain itself, it's very easy.
The limit on town names seems to be 255.

If you want to create names consisting of several randomly chosen parts, you should take ETOWNNAM.DAT as an example.

Thanks for the reply. I managed to get and open xml of LTOWNNAM.DAT.

I assume you just overtype the names then drop the saved file back onto locotool. One more question. What does the type 1 and type 0 refer to -

<string id="38" type="0">Camana</string>
<string id="39" type="1">Puerto Chala</string>


Thanks

It might be interesting to see if, instead of just hard-coding a list of towns, to try and have random names generated. Not that I have any idea how ot do that.
