Does this one work in 4.0 -.o?

@thoth, you could always upload a patch mod and make this be a dependency

figured out what's wrong, apparently the ruler_names = {} section has been phased out entirely, including for hives. they just use regnal now. is it okay if i upload a 3.12 port of this mod with the fixes?

everything seems to work except for the robot namelists? the leader names seem to only use the suffixes

Just found out this exists so I have been stuck with the original JNL mod until now. Thanks!

Surprisingly, the original still works haha!

any chance of an update to 3.9+?

Still work?

@doctor t, @Devito, does chaing $O$ to $ORD$ not work?

doesn't work :(

In the localisation file, the sequential numbers are "$O$" but changing them to "$ORD$" seems to fix it

I think there's a bug with a lot of the name list's sequential names. They're not "1st XY, 2nd XY, 3rd XY". A lot of them are just "1 XY, 2 XY, 3 XY" etc.

The following is the prompts I entered in command prompt:

-- command prompt --
C:\Users\MyComp> cd C:\Users\MyComputer\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\mod\UFN_Main

C:\Users\MyComputer\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\mod\UFN_Main> lua53 nlconverter.lua SAL2 UFN

= Name List Converter =

lua53: nlconverter.lua:40: input/SAL2: No such file or directory
stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'assert'
nlconverter.lua:40: in main chunk
[C]: in ?

-- end --

Variables:
filename: SAL2
nlnamestr: UFN

I'm trying to figure out the conversion tool. For starters, it specifies that I need to have an input folder to put the old namelist in. I created the input folder, placed the old namelist there, ran Lua through command prompt, and it did not read any file inside the input folder. I'm just wondering how you did it.

Sure, you can find the conversion tool here [gist.github.com]. Feel free to leave comments there if it doesn't work or something.

Is there any chance you could upload the tool somewhere? I have so many broken namelists now

That's weird. I have no idea what could cause that - usually that sort of bug is a localization collision (e.g. two identical keys with different "meanings"), but I use keys like "JNLHUM7_CHR_Kharzok" specifically to avoid that. I looked through HUM7 and couldn't find any problems, but let me know if you find anything similar again.

Humanoid 7 has a funny name mess up: "+1 (in green) Mantenance Overseer Jop per Pops Gomuk", not even sure how this could have happened.

Thanks for the effort! Also want to see that Just Star Names getting revamped, it seems names mod a necessity playing 1000+ star system. without it a lot of crashes.

Thanks! You are doing a great service by keeping these excellent mods up to date and I appreciate it!

It seems to still be compatible, yes. I'll take a look at Just Star Names.

Will this mod cause problems with 3.5 Fornax or is it still compatible?

Are you also planning on porting this mod to 3.4/5? https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1212536129&searchtext=just+star+names

Bless you sir

Great to see someone took this very fine mod and updated it. Thx.

you are a legend for porting this mod, finally I never have to see another "hephanir" or "diamond sufete"

Just swapped out the original version for this mid-run with no issues. God bless you for making this update.

Thanks for the report; should be fixed! Please post a comment if you see any other blank or buggy names and I'll try to fix them.

Awesome, thanks for porting this mod! I don't have any issues with it, although it appears that JNL Molluscoid 2 doesn't have any male names. The male leaders just generate with a blank name. I don't know if this was caused by your update, or if this was always an issue, but just thought I'd mention it here

So glad to see this name list reworked. Great job!

Thanks for porting this. Always thought it was a nice compliment to Cybrxkhan's name lists and happy to see more name variety in the games again without formatting errors.
