I understand that the town names are made from chunks... I just want there to be more of each chunk.

For example, a town might be called Lewisville. This is Lewis+ville.

I'm wondering if the list that contains Lewis might have more semi-words in it?

In the game as it stands, on large maps (1024+) there are too many towns with very similar names. I would like to see more variation, is it possible or is the number of entries determined by a maxed out byte value or something?

Is this meant for TTD Patch, or for OpenTTD?

In any case, the answer to your question is yes, you can use NewGRF to create a town name set. 2TallTyler has some demonstration NML here.

Apologies to all concerned. I didn't know anything about TTDPatch.

Thanks for clearing this up and thanks for the link
