fullMETAL Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Previously, in my unfinished efforts: 525840 Obviously, there were a LOT of regions I didn't get to in the last version. (for one, the nameset for the United States also goes with a LOT of OTHER countries, so that was actually my biggest hurdle in completing it, because RL required a LOT of cross-referencing to see which of the 150+ countries across the world shared namesets) THIS time, I WILL make a completely finished version, from scratch, using Real Lives 2010, which (like last time) will be continually posted as anywhere between 1 and 3 regions get added. As with my original version, this will be free to use for everybody, and hopefully, once it's 100% finished, Adam and crew might use it for future iterations of TEW, WMMA, WreSpi, et al. Oh, btw, this is BEST used with Organic mods! Once I've finished with the names contained in Real Lives, I will be working on an expansion for countries such as Japan, China, Ireland, and possibly others. I'm doing this completely by myself for free, but if anybody would like to gift me a license for TEW 2016 (perhaps one for WMMA4 as well as one for WreSpi3?) as gratitude, I wouldn't be against that. First release in the 2nd post! To use, make a new database, and replace the MDB file with the one in the zip, then import the names from THAT file into the one you're using for your game. Updated release in the 2nd post! To use, replace the previous MDB file with the new one in the zip, and import names from that. Some existing names have also been updated with extra regions as necessary, so check the notes during the import if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWho87 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 <p>I'd keep it to a single database maybe with a seperate database each patch with what has been added from that patch.</p><p> </p><p> Out of curiosity, do you use accented characters in the names?</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullMETAL Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 <p>If a name contains accented characters in Real Lives, then it will contain those accented characters in the database. I'll be straight-up transcribing the RL names to the database, which is no small feat because the names can't simply be right-click-copied from RL to TEW, you have to literally type them out.</p><p> </p><p> Related: For the expansion pack, Japanese names where vowels are elongated (like "ō" for おー) and/or diphthonged/whatever the multiple-vowel combination is called (like "o<span style="font-size:10px;">u</span>" for おぅ) will be spelled out as the character translates (like "oo" and "ou" instead of "oh" and whatever the 2nd one sounds like), unless the name I'm transcribing (a LOT, if not ALL, of the Japanese names in the Expansion Pack will come from, of all places, credits for video games) has been written as "oh" or such.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWho87 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 <p>I was just wondering if they would be included as seperate accounts, for example Chloe and Chloé.</p><p> </p><p> I only ask due to how the game works with accented characters that can lead to errors with some people, I personally removed them from my database to cut down on that plus it made things so much easier when trying to search someone if their names only use characters from a typical English keyboard.</p><p> </p><p> This is just my personal preference, don't take it negatively.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fullMETAL Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 At least 3 more region sets will be added this week. (GET HYPE) I'm gonna be shooting for at least 3 per week up through the end. The last one is going to be the nameset that includes the United States, since the nameset for that in Real Lives is actually shared with probably TEN other countries in that simulator and I'll need to go through all 150+ countries in that list just to check which ones share the nameset. (This is actually the primary reason progress was so slow on my original efforts in TEW 2013, the shared namesets between so many countries.) Once the list is complete, I'll take a brief pause, and then begin work on what I call the Names Expansion Set, which will add even MORE names for regions like Japan (taken primarily from staff rolls for video games ), countries in Northern Europe, possibly a dedicated nameset for Ireland and Scotland (Real Lives lists their names in the US nameset if I'm not mistaken, so a dedicated name list would be necessary), whatever I can find.

fullMETAL Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 This is free for EVERYBODY to use for mods and their own personal games. (In fact, I'm hoping that down the line, once it's finished, that they'd be able to be officially added to the Default database for future iterations) While you can use it for mods, I would actually hold off on doing so until this is 100% complete.
