[1.04] KPseudonym - Customize Kerbal name generation!

[Dreamixpl]

It's not working for 1.0.5. Can't create new saves, or load existing ones. Without the mod, saves work just fine. Through, there may be some incompatibilities: http://pastebin.com/R1a0WGqW

I don't want to be that guy, but, are there any simmilar mods, that serve this purpose for 1.0.5?

It looks like this is working as intended in 1.0.5 for me - are you using the latest version of the mod, and are your config files in the correct format for the new version?

Here is a config to add some (first) names of real astronauts, per Wikipedia's list:

Spoiler

KPseudonym
{
  // Real astronaut first names per en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_astronauts_by_name

  // fileWeight is the relative chance of this config being selected for name generation
  fileWeight = 100

  //The percent chance of a proper name being picked!
  properNameChance = 100

  //The percent chance of a root being placed in a random name!
  randomRootChance = 0

  // Female Names
  fProper   = Anna Barbara Bonnie Catherine Chiaki Claudie Dorothy Eileen Ellen Heidemarie Janet Janice Joan Judith Julie Kalpana Karen Katherine Kathryn Laurel Linda Lisa Liu Mae Marsha Mary Millie Nancy Naoko Nicole Pamela Patricia Peggy Rhea Roberta Sally Samantha Sandra Shannon Stephanie Sunita Susan Svetlana Tamara Tracy Wendy Yelena Yi Yvonne
  fPrefixes = fPrefixPlaceholder
  fRoots    = fRootPlaceholder
  fSuffixes = fSuffixPlaceholder

  // Male Names
  mProper   = Abdul Akihiko Alan Albert Aleksandar Aleksandr Aleksei Aleksey Alexander Alfred Anatoli Anatoly Andre Andreas Andrei Andrew Andriyan Andy Anthony Anton Arnaldo Aydyn Barry Benjamin Bernard Bertalan Bjarni Boris Brent Brewster Brian Bruce Bryan Buzz Byron Carl Carlos Charles Chen Chris Christer Christopher Claude Clayton Clifton Curt Curtis Dafydd Dale Daniel David Deke Dick Dirk Dmitri Dominic Don Donald Donn Douglas Duane Dumitru Edgar Edward Elliot Ellison Eric Ernst Eugene Evgeny Fei Fernando Francis Franco Frank Franklin Franz Fred Frederick Fyodor Garrett Gary Gennadi Gennady George Georgi Gerald Gerhard Gherman Gordon Gregory Grigori Guion Gus Guy Hans Harrison Henry Igor Ilan Ivan Jack James Jay Jean-Francois Jean-Jacques Jean-Loup Jean-Pierre Jeffrey Jeremy Jerome Jerry Jim Jing Joe John John-David Jon Jose Joseph Jugderdemidiin Karl Karol Ken Kenneth Kent Kevin Kimiya Kjell Klaus-Dietrich Koichi Konstantin Krasimir Lawrence Lee Leland Leonid Leopold Leroy Lev Liu Lloyd Lodewijk Loren Luca Maksim Mamoru Marc Marcos Mario Mark Martin Maurizio Michael Michel Mike Mikhail Miroslaw Muhammed Musa Neil Nicholas Nie Nikolai Nikolay Norman Oleg Owen Paolo Patrick Paul Pavel Pedro Pete Peter Petr Pham Philip Philippe Pierre Piers Pyotr Rakesh Randolph Ravish Reinhard Reinhold Rex Richard Rick Robert Roberto Rodolfo Roger Roman Ronald Roy Russell Rusty Salizhan Samuel Satoshi Scott Sergei Sergey Sheikh Sherwood Sidney Sigmund Soichi Sonny Stanley Stephen Steven Story Stuart Sultan Takao Takuya Talgat Taylor Ted Terence Terrence Terry Thomas Timothy Toktar Ulf Ulrich Umberto Valentin Valeri Valery Vance Vasili Viktor Vitali Vitaliy Vladimir Vladimír Vladislav Vyacheslav Wally Walter Wang William Winston Wubbo Yang Yevgeny Yuri Yury Zhai Zhang
  mPrefixes = mPrefixPlaceholder
  mRoots    = mRootPlaceholder
  mSuffixes = mSuffixPlaceholder

  lastNames = Kerman

  //First name will be regenerated if it contains any of the following
  rejectionCriteria = Kerman Kerbal eee rrr lll dildo Jebediah Valentina
}

 

If this mod is still under development, I'd like to request a feature that attempts to avoid duplicate kerbal names if possible. Something like: make up to ~10 attempts to regenerate a kerbal's name if it duplicates an existing kerbal's name, then fall back onto the default prefix/suffix name-generation if every attempt resulted in another duplicate. That way we could (e.g.) set up configs to bias name generation towards lists of "proper" names, but fall back on the default "goofy" names as we start to run out of unique proper names.

Edit: a couple more for characters from The Martian and Red Mars.

The mod author has been gone for a very long time. This probably is not getting updated.  Instead, why not try Kerbal Renamer when it get updated?
