"You will see words reused during a single campaign, and you will still run into plenty of vanilla Op names. RNGesus does not answer to me. "

Does that mean if i edited the XComGame.int adding a few names myself i will get your on top of that or does it overwrite them?

Hi there, this is causing a crash within the latest 1.3 release of the Alternative Mod Launcher.
Possible bug theory is this;

Look like a bug in the RTF parser.
AML 1.3 supports extended formatting for the mod description
Probably some edge case due to some uncommon formatting

Is happen on both versions (vanilla and WOTC), sorry to bug report in both :)

@I_burner: Ah, thanks for the explanation! That explains it perfectly.

@Philadelphus - The "Name" and "Word" groups are two separate pools that the game pulls from to create mission names. It first picks which of those pools it is going to use, then randomly picks a "first" and "second" string from that pool. So your mission names will always be either "FirstOpName SecondOpName" or "FirstOpWord SecondOpWord".This is the default behavior of the game - I just added to the existing lists. Glad you are enjoying it.

Hey, a question about the config file: I see sections for m_aFirstOpName, m_SecondOpName, m_aFirstOpWord, m_aSecondOpWord, and I'm just wondering what the difference is? Does the game randomly grab from either of the "first" categories, and then either of the "second" categories, or is there something more complicated going on? Thanks. A really nice mod by the way, I had a downed UFO mission called Operation Evil Engine the other day. :)

I defo would of subbed to this but i dont fancy the silly names. Would be better if you could do a seperate version with only proper words minus the silly ones, i think this would be alot more popular in that case

Operation Moist Pants, confirmed.

I actually a mod in the works to expand both soldier names and nicknames. Probably some weeks off, as my free time is limited.

There are a number of mods on the Workshop for vanilla XCom 2 that do do that as well. I haven't tested any of them, but they probably work just fine in WotC.

Hey. You could probably use your logic to create another mod that works in tandem with this one. With a different set of strings, you could expand the list of nick names used by the troopers when they rank up. Just from your screen shot above "Rider", "Ravager", "Dancer", "Jester", "Walker", "Beast".
