Topic: Ship Names Headaches (Read 832 times)

Now, I have a question for all you who have played around with Shipnames.txt in OP, is the list of names limited or not?
Whats happening to me is that while I have successfully added 2 new heavy battlecruises to the Klingon Empire, I cant seem to get more than 1 ship name to show . . and if I do add more names the next ship either up or dowm shows as ??? for the name.

I havent encountered this before as I have added names and classes to several races (around a dozen ships) I am not as ambitous as Firesoul

thanks!

ZThe ??? means you made an error somewhere and the file could not be read. More than likily it is a typo some where as the file is encoded.

Its a Unicode File.
If your using Windows 2k or XP your fine, but if your using anything before that your gonna have to add the Unicode Prefix manually in a Hex Editor.

Ive never really messed around with Shipnames, but i think Atra has a good Tutorial on his site.
If its not there, there should be one somewhere on the web, i just cant think of where else it would be.
