1 # Hedgewars random name lists

     2 The directory Data/Names contains random hog and team names and

     3 hat sets for themed teams.

     4 

     5 In this file I'll explain the format of each of the files:

     6 

     7 ## `<Hat>.cfg`

     8 Hat configuration file.

     9 This file lists the random name list (without file name suffix), e.g.:

    10 

    11     generic

    12     nordic

    13 

    14 and so on. Each list name must exist in this directory. When choosing

    15 a random name for this hat, it will first randomly choose one of the

    16 name lists, then choose a random name within that list.

    17 

    18 `<Hat>` must be the name of a hat (without file name suffix) for which

    19 to apply the random names, e.g. “Santa”.

    20 

    21 If a hat does not have a config file, it will use the generic name list.

    22 

    23 ## `<name>.txt` =

    24 This is a list of random hedgehog names, one name per line.

    25 `<name>` is an identifier of your choice (except “types”).

    26 

    27 ## `generic.txt` ==

    28 Works exactly like `<name>.txt`, but this file is also used as default for all

    29 hats without a .cfg file.

    30 

    31 This file must be present at all costs!

    32 

    33 ## `types.txt` =

    34 This contains themed team names and hat sets.

    35 It works like this:

    36 

    37 For each team:

    38 

    39 * First comes a list of possible team names for a team type.

    40 * Then comes a separator line with 5 equals signs (“=====”).

    41 * Then comes a list of hat names with out file name suffix.

    42 * Each hog of this team gets a random hat of this list. Repeat a hat name to

    43   jack up its probability.

    44 

    45 Each team is again separated by a separator line.

    46 

    47 At the end of the final team, this line must be written (without the spaces):

    48 

    49     *END*

    50 

    51 Everything after that will be ignored.
