The Random Name Generator
« on: November 05, 2007, 05:07:00 pm »
Is it possible to remove words from the random name generator without causing negative effects on the game? I seek to remove some of the more objectionable words.

Go to raw/objects and look through the documents that begin with "language_". You should probably generate a new world after making any changes; I don't know what will happen if you continue with your current world, but I bet crashes would occur.

If anus is an objectionable word to you, how can you play a game where creatures are routinely sliced, diced, crushed, killed, maimed, burned, drowned, beaten, chained, starved, strangled, beheaded, poisoned, trampled, and otherwise brutally ended?

Honestly, words are only as offensive as you make them  :roll:

Oh nice. So with this it should be possible to add more names to the generator?

Stuff like:

hall, shrine, citadel, pillar, spire, etc.
