making new names isn't that hard to do.
you just enter language_DWARF.txt and create new words in the form of:
[T_WORD:<english_word>:<dwarfish_word>]
you might as well use the same word for both.
then in language_words.txt define their use -a noun will simply do and pluralizing can lead to unwanted names. FRONT and REAR force syntax to a small degree. limiting compounds to 'Johnsmith' instead of 'Smithjohn' with no 'of's 'the's or adjectives.
[WORD:<english_word>]
[NOUN:<english_word>:<english_plural>]
[<FRONT/REAR>_COMPOUND_NOUN_SING]
then in language_SYM.txt define a symbol for your new words in the form of:
[SYMBOL:<symbol_identifier>]
[S_WORD:<english_word>]
then in entity_default.txt add in under [ENTITY:MOUNTAIN]
[SELECT_SYMBOL:REMAINING:<symbol_identifier>]
the 'REMAINING' tag instead of 'WAR', 'BRIDGE', 'TUNNEL' etc means that they will only use the symbol for naming everything but constructions and events, therefore only people and artifacts. but the other selected symbols will be used for naming them too.
if i were to put 'John Smith' in i would have:
in language_DWARF.txt:
[T_WORD:JOHN:john]
[T_WORD:SMITH:smith]
in language_words.txt
[WORD:JOHN]
[NOUN:john:john]
[FRONT_COMPOUND_NOUN_SING]
[WORD:SMITH]
[NOUN:smith:smith]
[REAR_COMPOUND_NOUN_SING]
in language_SYM.txt:
[SYMBOL:REALNAMES]
[S_WORD:JOHN]
[S_WORD:SMITH]
and in entity_default.txt:
[SELECT_SYMBOL:REMAINING:REALNAMES]
-it just takes just a really long time
Be warned though that names are not gender or syntax specific, and can result in ridiculous names, like 'Jim Johnsmith' or 'Smith Maryjohnson' -remember that the dwarves are used to names like 'Dagger Canyonpipe'
'Urist'. 'Sodel', 'mestthos', etc will still be in there if you don't delete [SELECT_SYMBOL:REMAINING:ARTIFICE] and [SELECT_SYMBOL:REMAINING:EARTH]. the only way to remove
all dwarfish names from the list is to delete
all symbol selectors, but that will result in the game only being able to use singular noun compounds for forts/wars/roads -naming them like
peopleso, the whole mess isn't really worth it.
somebody had better value this information. took me way too long to figure this shit out
