Accepting submissions
Hello everyone.

As you can probably imagine, adding all these nations and getting the names right is impossible for a single person.
I already have the precious help of 2 contributors of Belgian and Turkish background and they have done a wonderful job, but it would be awesome if people from other countries would pitch in and contribute their knowledge.
You will be added as contributors to the mod and get all the credit for your work and don't worry if you don't know a thing about modding. All you have to do is send me txt files with lists of first names and surnames, regiments and experience and I will take care of the rest.

Thanks

Unfortunately the modding system does not allow for poultry, fish or livestock. If that is an Argentinian way of thanking me, then a "thank you" will suffice :)

LOL, i just realized you meant "roster". I'll add you on steam.

I've sent you a friend request on steam.

Why did you block me on Steam?

Hmm, would you be interested in adding South Africa? I think I know a few people who could compile a list of regiments and combat experience along with the names. Do you have a reference list of what the variables are?
m4rek 11. apr. 2015 kl. 5:59 
I assume it's First Name, Last Name, Previous Regiment, Combat Experience, (and nationality). Anything else?

Hello! Somehow i missed your comments, sorry. Yes, I would be very interested.
All i need i a list of male first names, female first names and a list of last names. Then a small list of regiments and war experience.

The lists can be a simple txt file with a name on each line.
I will add you on steam and make you contributor

Here, I could contribute with SPAIN!

Names would be similar to those from Central and South America, with remarkable big exceptions:
-Galician, Catalonian and Basque names/surnames from those regions, apart from Castillian.

War experience? The Spanish Civil War? (1936-39) How old could be the conflict?

EDIT: Oh, I didn't know Spain is in vanilla... gonna chech that and come back if not happy!

I can help with Chinese names, romanised of course, otherwise it would be unintelligible to english players. But first, does this mod take in account how a name is common? There are a few very common Chinese surnames that appear very often.

I think the game picks randomly from a list, but you can trick the game to pick certain name or surname more often by having that name/surname in the list more often.

Example [John, Chad, John, John, John] (as you might imagine you will have a lot more Johns in your team).

Yes, exactly what Ragnaman said.

Steelogonads I made an India mod, I would have, but I can´t submit that to your "Nations of the World" because I created also a new ethnicity (indian) with new custom pics. So it has to be independent for now because it needs the new ethnicity.

Unfortunately now there is a problem with your code as in <Nation MODERMERGE="delete all"> </Nation> in line 3 in your soldiernames.xml and females too. It makes your mod incompatible with other mods that change nations as well - such as a mine, which is a big pity because your work is great!

I wrapped my head around this for 3 hours and after digging in Illunaks documentation, where I think you were inspired by his sound example to use the "deleteall", I found a simple solution:

If you remove the whole line 3 with the "deleteall" command, and replace all your <Nation MODMERGE= "insert" ... with <Nation MODERMGE="replaceinsert" ... your mod becomes compatible and you can get rid of the "deleteall">
I tested it with both our mods active at the same time and can send you your modified file for convenience if you want. Would be great if you could update afterwards so I can enjoy Portuguese and your other nations next to my new Indian (and upcoming Chinese) guys in the same squad.
