@A-Sartek: Thanks for the heads up! Made a note to fix that for the next update.

Hello Cybrxkhan! I've used your mod quite a lot, thanks for creating this.
I wanted to report that the define for longer ship names doesn't change the name length allowed for ships anymore. At least not in the defines folder, so I made another folder (outside of common folder) named unchecked_defines and it is working again. The error log no longer complains about names that are too long.

Mod has been updated to the newest patch 4.1. Thanks all for your patience!

@Si O'son: If you're talking about the screenshots, they're from older versions of the game so the interface looks different

what mod is that for the borders?

@SirBlack
Sounds interesting, when will you be publishing it? (Since Cybrxkhan isn't presently adding to CANS, as previously mentioned.)

mod idea star wars name lists of named jedi sith or just characters in general

big recommendation to *not* use ""AI"" to generate stuff for these name lists, if you do come back. Don't give in to the slop machine!

@saganmaineiac These days I am mainly just maintaining my mods, I don't have as much interest in Stellaris.

Are there any future plans to add any more space name-lists or expand upon existing ones, with the recent advancements in AI name generation?

@Locke_Valefor Thanks for the heads up! I'll keep that in mind too if people seem to have similar problems running my mods in the future

ah, issue found. Duplicate .mod files on the Paradox Interactive mods file, which directs to an older ver of the mod. Sorry for the trouble caused 🙇

Guess it's a good reminder for me to check that folder too, for future troubleshooting

yep, have done that and restarts for both Steam and the device. I'll try on another device if the problem still persists. Oddly enough error logs shows no mention of the mod, although it is present in the workshop file directory. Ran it with other mods, and alone, same result

@Locke_Valefor Have you tried the old trick of unsubscribing and resubscribing (multiple times if necessary) until it fixes it? Sometimes Steam Workshop/Paradox Launcher is really bad at updating mods and causes mods to not work.

For some reason the namelists do not show up on the selection tab, tried booting up with this mod only, to the same results. Version 4.0.6.

Is there a way I can help with troubleshooting this? Not too familiar with how Stellaris handles boot up logs...

@Nyx (She/Her): Good idea, thanks! Just checked and all the others except the version 2.3 are fine. I think I deleted the 2.3 a while back since it was so old, but the others work okay. Not sure why the 2.8 version was messed up lol.

may want to do a sweep of all your old versions for your mods!

@Nyx (She/Her): Thanks for the heads up, looks like the old link was broken for some reason. I've put up a new link.

the 2.8 version of this was deleted from dropbox?

@Taritu I assume you already tested this but just to check, have you tested this with only this mod running? And are there any visible issues with leader names in-game from the new namelists?

Getting a lot of "Failed to localize leader name with key" errors in the error log when loading games. May be coming from this mod as I'm not currently loading any other mods which deal with names.

Mod has been updated to 4.0. This time I've had to do some tedious updating of some of the code in each file, so let me know if there are any issues. Thanks all for your patience!

Just an update to everyone - quickly checked the files and looks like I need to make some changes to account for some new stuff, doesn't look hard but it'll be a bit tedious as I'll have to update all my namelists with it. Hopefully I can put out an update in a day or two, end of the week latest. Thanks for your patience!

@Cat-Lunatic This mod has not been updated to the newest patch yet. I'll have to check to see what changes I may need to do

is this safe to use in 4.0?

Question: what would your opinion be towards an Anglospheric name list? Not necessarily American, but also including British and Australian too, of course.

As many people have been banished to Brazil, aren't ALL names Brazilian names now?

Why no brazilian names? There is 2 portuguese name lists and 0 for brazil. Even though we are 95x bigger than Portugal. Authors are probably euros. There is even one for vietnam and none for us, disgraceful. I love egypt and they represented them right. Why can't we be represented? even the khmer names was there but none for us. cool!

понятно. спасибо за ответы. жаль что нельзя.

@Kerovanka Вы не можете разделить каждый набор в игре, потому что все они являются частью одного списка имен. Вам пришлось бы разделить каждый набор имен на их собственные списки имен посредством моддинга, что мне неинтересно, потому что это потребовало бы много дополнительной работы. Большинство моих списков имен имеют только один набор имен, но некоторые, такие как списки имен людей, имеют несколько наборов в одном списке имен. Vanilla также делает что-то похожее.

Это все часть одного списка имен. Это просто разные наборы имен, из которых игра берет список имен людей, даже ванильные имена такие. - я эту фразу не совсем понимаю.
то есть этими наборами нельзя управлять? а что делать если нужен какой то один набор и не нужен другой?(извини, что я тебе надоедаю.)

@Starshine The mod actually already changes the default human namelists to make use most of the real namelists I've added (other than a few extinct/historical groups that wouldn't make sense). I have also added new names to the default human namelists that are from countries/cultures not represented in vanilla's namelists or in CANS' namelists elsewhere yet.

@Kerovanka (Использую Google translate, извините.)
В списках имен людей "names1", "names2" и т. д. не являются отдельными списками имен. Это все часть одного списка имен. Это просто разные наборы имен, из которых игра берет список имен людей, даже ванильные имена такие.

автор подскажи плиз. убей не могу понять. лазал смотрел файлы мода. и там в файле HUM
есть два списка имен.один для иностранцев под именем name1 и второй с русскими именами под названием name2. не понимаю, а как выбирать name2, чтобы он в игре отображался, а не name1? объясни плиз.спасибо.

Would a namelist that combined all the IRL human names into one list work or be too large/other issues?
Thank you for this mod btw, been using it for longer than any other the game would be lifeless without it

thanks man!

@Mack Daddy: Feel free to use my namelists in your mod work yeah

Hey Cybrxkhan, is it possible to use or link your mod to mines?

@eastkhan That's unfortunately how it is. Any mod that adds code is usually not going to be achievement compatible, including this one, even if that code is mostly cosmetic/flavor that doesn't affect gameplay. Some newer PI games have moved away from this mindset (like Crusader Kings 3) but unfortunately some of the older games like Stellaris are still like that.

i wonder this mod is not achievement compatible

nvm

@BeastMaster64 I'm not sure what you mean by localization of namelist?

Is there an easy way to localization all of the namelist ? Sorry for asking

@AVNlover67 I haven't been able to replicate that with the Space Celtic namelist. Space Japanese and Space Korean (aka made up names) seem to work fine, but Real Japanese and Real Korean names won't work since as mentioned they don't have randomly generated AI names. I guess you could just temporarily assign them the Space Japanese/Korean names, generate names from there, and then change the namelist.

Oh. I tried using the Japanese, Korean and celtic.

@AVNlover67 Some of them don't have random species name, mainly a good chunk of the real name lists, since they aren't used for the randomly generated AI empires.

Some of the namelists do not generate a random name when I click randomize name for the species name.

@Maniac Thanks for the heads up! I've just uploaded a fix.

I'm having a similar issues with empires with no leader or ship names.
According to my spelunking in the mod's files the Pambians should have name_list media_pathfinder_gnome, however that doesn't seem to exist. The name_list in the file media_pathfinder_gnome.txt is called cybrxkhan_pathfinder_gnome instead.

@Haardrada Thank you for the heads up on those! I've uploaded the fixes per your investigation below. Let me know if there are still issues.

(also, thank you for still maintaining this mod 9 years after release)
