Custom .nam file

[ivandogovich]

I'm trying to make a custom .nam file for all my rookies.

I have not put any lastnames in and only a list of nicknames in the malefirstnames.

Unfortunately it crashes on launching a new game.

What are the parameters that I need to follow to do this right?  (I couldn't find any hard info in forum searches and in the wiki).

Thanks!
Cheers, Ivan

how about putting some last names in it

[ivandogovich]

Can I get it to run with out last names?

I just want to have them nicknamed.

If the Lastnames are a hardcoded requirement, I'll stop trying to do the impossible.

(Edit)
I thought SupSuper set it up so it could ignore the lastname...  https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php?topic=1637.msg15188#msg15188

ok you can ignore the last name but you need female names

[ivandogovich]

Ok, Thanks, Falko! That got it!

I split the names between male and female and left lastName with no entry after it, and it works.

You can have the same lists in both genders if you want full equality.
