How to write a town name .grf?

Post by DonRazzi »

Hi,

as I'm not too happy with the randomized town name generation in OTTD for German town names, I'd like to set up a new .GRF which should do the job better. I don't think about a simple list of real town names, but of an advanced random generator for random maps. And now comes the tricky part: As I'm a student of German linguistics, I've got a bunch of ideas how town names are combined of several parts. On the other hand, I've got no idea how such a .GRF is programmed. Is there any documentation how to build such a .grf? I only found documentations for building vehicle-sets...

Greets,
