FBCB/FBB/Most Sims: Anyone want a new names list?

Groundhog · 01-15-2004, 12:14 AM

I've uploaded two names lists to my site, specifically for FBCB, but if you rename the files I'm sure you could use them with most sims that store the name files in regular ascii.

The names are a combination from a lot of sources, but I HAND TYPED every Div. 1 college bball player's first and last names in to the file a few years back, and have added to it.

You will see that because of the above reason, there will be a lot more guys with the last name of Jones and Williams than those with Plamondon

Once again, go to the URL in my sig.

Cool. I've been trying to compile lists of names of all cultures and nationalities for future projects where I may need specific names (like Russian names, or Japanese name). I'll through this into my collection.

Neat work, Groundhog!

Do you think your names file would create a problem if you used it with an existing FBCB game?

Nope, it won't cause any issues.

How long did this take to create?

Quite awhile. Not all of this is my handy work, as I pasted in HR's original name list, too.

But for the names I input (326 teams X 15 or so players each team, and I added NBA players and names from several other sources), well.. I did it during a period where I did night shift for several weeks in a row, so working on it a few hours each night it probably took me a week and a half.

Thank you for making these files available.

Thanks Groundhog, I've been waiting for something like this.

Also, my team nicknames file is still here if anyone wants it, drop their email.

Apparently Groundhog already had a team name file up there, must be recent. I guess my work was a waste of time.. :-/

Eep, sorry Shorty

I put mine together quite some time ago, but just hadn't got around to posting it.
