Help me name my Kerbals!

[Windchild]

I have spawned 104 separate Kerbal names, and have started to get duplicate names (with different numbers)

I have renamed two (Mac to Mack, Rodgas to Harv) so far, and only have a few names if this comes up again (and I have gotten two last night, from nothing)

I have thought up:

1. Harv Kerman

2. Mack Kerman

3. Windchild Kerman

4. Wind Kerman

5. Buzz Kerman

[Kialar]

Carlman

Joeyo

Karrison

Eugene

Konald

Daveson

Alfred

Jamison

Kuart

Kallan

Edkar

Fredher

Siegfried

Rikard

Khomas

Rukkelson

Marvyn

Hermenegilde

Alphonse

Corey Hart

How about Tedison?

[Crush]

You can rename Kerbals? How do you do that?

Great names so far

Editing the Persistance files allows you to rename Kerbals...

I only do if I have two Kerbals with the same number or one name on two numbers.

[The Jedi Master]

Neil

Columbus

Enemy (I actually got that name once)

Jebediah Kerman Jr.

[Tank Buddy]

Is there a Neil Kerman already? Don't forget Yuri Kerman and Michael Kerman!

[WhiteWeasel]

Just curious, I did a similar thing but the 'new' names I put in replaced them instead of adding to them.

[Windchild]

It replaces the name that was there before.

That's why I only do that if the name is one that is a duplicate

[WhiteWeasel]

Isn't it just a roster of names that are picked from launch? And therefore just add to the list?

[Windchild]

In the persistance file, there is lines of information like the one below.

This is the fourth name in said file, so the number of this is three (explanation below)

CREW

{

name = Fredfred Kerman

brave = 0.4334813

dumb = 0.5411335

badS = False

state = 1

ToD = 851735.341188008

idx = -1

}

If this name shows up again at 105 (randomly generated names, I think), I change the name from Fredfred to a name I chose (I was having trouble with making names, so I posted this)

For example, I changed Fredfred on number 105 to Weasel

{

name = Weasel Kerman

brave = 0.7470429

dumb = 0.4953573

badS = False

state = 1

ToD = 0

idx = -1

}

The crew number 3 still spawns Fredfred, but 105 now spawns Weasel, not Fredfrod [note that two numbers avoids the bugs with two Kerbals with the same name according to my observations]

The numbering starts with 0 (Jebediah), and counts up from there.

Therefore, the 4th name on the list is crew number 3, the 20th is #19, and the 101st is #100.

You can see this in the crew numbers at the bottom of the following coded information

PART

{

name = crewCabin

uid = 1960615781

parent = 157

position = -2.85892440388125E-07,-2.42226028442383,2.39823985099792

rotation = 0,-1,0,0

mirror = 1,1,1

istg = 0

dstg = 0

sqor = -1

sidx = -1

attm = 0

sym = 86

sym = 122

srfN = None, -1

attN = top, 157

attN = bottom, 159

mass = 2.5

temp = -201.4538

expt = 0.5

state = 0

connected = True

attached = True

flag =

crew = 94

crew = 13

crew = 99

crew = 11

EVENTS

{

}

ACTIONS

{

}

}

Does this make more sense?

When I copied the names I feared that I would mess up the code so when I copy and pasted that's all I changed-the names.

Original name:

CREW

{

name = Fredfred Kerman

brave = 0.4334813

dumb = 0.5411335

badS = False

state = 1

ToD = 851735.341188008

idx = -1

}

{

name = Newname Kerman

brave = 0.4334813

dumb = 0.5411335

badS = False

state = 1

ToD = 851735.341188008

idx = -1

}

I don't add anything but the name (ie Fredred, Newname) and I only change the numbers on the crew (ie crew = 2 to crew = 100)...

And I don't copy the information to make a new Kerbal, just spawn more with a three person transport and check a file that I have to see if they duplicate any colonists (I wrote down every single name on that ship)

Edit:

I spawn one of these:

And check to see if any of the names are dublicates of earlier names.

I don't think I changed the crew numbers when copying, think that might be my problem?

[Windchild]

My advice is to not copy, just change a name if you already have a spawned Kerbal name.

Although no Kerbals will use that number, so none will have that name in game if you copy... (this is all just me thinking, I am a beginner)
