nameless immigrants
« on: September 16, 2009, 08:05:50 pm »
are getting annoying. playing as modded/non-dwarf civ and any new immigrants lack names. everything else such as towns, biomes, founders, and civilizations, all have names. everythign works just fine though so it's minor but extremely annoying.

doubt it has anything to due with a missing lang tag as when there isn't one the custom civ's use random one by default if missing the tag.

Obviously they don't use random languages for everything.

Did you mess with the SELECT_SYMBOL tags?  I believe names are determined by SELECT_SYMBOL:REMAINING.

No names? sounds like what happens when you remove CAN_SPEAK from a creature.

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

didn't do anything, still have nameless immigrants, but literally everything else have names (still).

all my civ's (and humanoid creatures) have [INTELLIGENT] which implies [CAN_SPEAK], [CAN_LEARN], and [CAN_CIV]

I'm guessing that, despite your assertion that they use a random language, it doesn't use it for everything. Try giving them [trANSLATION:LANGUAGE] tags and seeing what happens.
