Hi there everyone,

I'd like to share a small function which will give you a random name whilst creating a new character.
This will only include the function and a list of names, so you will have to set the event on your own.

Preview:

The function which will most likely be put in introCreate.py
 

import os
import app
#import the above lines if you don't have them already

def __randomizeName(self):
	dir = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath("introCreate.py"))
	list = open("%s\\names.list" % dir, "r").read().split("\n")
	rng = app.GetRandom(0, len(list)-1)
	randomName = list[rng]
	self.heroName.SetText("%s" % randomName) ## change variable 'heroName' with your editline's name

Also place the attached file to this thread in the main directory of the client. (i.e: where the launcher is)
names.list contains 150 names, if you ever need more names let me know so I can up the number or you can add more yourself, but do note you need to put each name as a new line so you won't mess up the function.

That's all for now, hope you all have a great day!
Cheers.

Have someone ever use this function in some MMO game? What about if it generates a name that is already used?

This is a code example, if you want, you can rewrite it is not difficult.

I think the biggest question is why would you implement this.

The code is simple, it takes names at random from a list and it's being placed in your character name edit line. Also the whole purpose of it is as pure inspiration whenever a player is in lack for a better name. To decrease the chance of getting a duplicate you can do either of 2 things: expand the list to a larger amount of names or simply place a condition within the code to generate a new name if the first name generated is already taken. (PS. you already have such functions in your game)

I hope that answers most of your questions and if you have any further questions please do let me know.
Have a great day everyone!

I would like to do something like that and can be used very easy for multiple languages too. 'locale/xx/names.list'

• localeInfo.py

import localeInfo
class TextLine(ui.TextLine):
	def __init__(self):
		ui.TextLine.__init__(self)

		self.SetParent(self)
		self.SetPosition(0, 15)
		self.SetFeather()
		self.SetFontName("Tahoma:20")
		self.SetPackedFontColor(0xffcfcc57)

	def __del__(self):
		ui.TextLine.__del__(self)
		
	def __OnToggleButton(self):
		self.SetText(localeInfo.GetRandomName())

@VegaS™ As good as your script might look, I find it more demanding on the game having to load the list of names everytime the game loads localeInfo.py
My piece of code it loads up a rather short list of names which can be maintained on a weekly basis (reason why most servers perform a weekly maintenance) and grab a random name when user requests it by clicking the button.

I could see a point in combining the two methods by making a list which is loaded up when the user is trying to create a character followed by dumping it when the user exits the create interface.

I thank you nevertheless for bringing alternatives to the table which makes us expand our knowledge
