[REL] Planet Name Themes

This mod replaces the Star Wars Planet Names mod. I originally started the project with just Star Wars in mind, but it became clear right away that the mod could be used for any theme people want. The Planet Name Themes mod comes with themes for Star Wars, Stargate, and Star Trek. A drop-down list has been added to the settings page to let you easily change between themes.

Each theme's name list is split into Earth, Ice, Desert, Tropical, Moon, Lava, and Metal biomes. Now you can fight an epic battle on the ice planet Hoth or use Yavin IV to destroy the Death Star!

You can edit the theme files yourself to add to the lists that I made, but if you're making an improvement then you should post the changes here so that I can include it in the mod. To make a new theme, all you need to do is put a new theme file in the /themes folder, and then add the new file to each scene in modinfo.json. If anyone knows of a way that I can have my mod automatically load anything in the themes folder, please let me know.

I've never used Git before. Could someone help get this in PAMM?

V1.1.0
Added a new theme called "Legacy" with names from Total Annihilation and Supreme Commander.

V1.1.1
Updated to v1.1.1 with raevn's changes. I also did a couple other little things and threw in a ton of comments. People won't see any difference unless they were getting settings manager bugs.

V1.1.2
Very small bugfix (more of a hack, really) on the new game screen. Now you can see the planet names even after you generate a new system.

Just added it to PAMM for you. I'll be checking out those Stargate planet names soon!

The current release contains 119 planet names.

Star Wars

Stargate

Star Trek

I love the planets you chose for the Stargate list.

Great! I'm definitely looking for suggestions on improvements though. I don't know SG1 that well and I wanted to avoid Atlantis because they're different galaxies. I mostly just spent some time on the stargate wiki trying to find planets with a description of the environment that I could match to PA biomes.

Also, if they ever add death star lasers to the metal planets, I'm definitely going to destroy Alderaan first.

If I think of some I'll tell you. A couple of them aren't as well known so you may want to replace them.

Tomorrow I will make a Legacy theme using these.

Uber can't do it, be we can!

Updated to v1.1.0 with the new Legacy theme.

Could someone show me how to update PAMM so that I don't have to keep asking for help?

fork the io repository on github, add your zip, run the generator and push us the changes.

Do I upload to /mods or /user_mods?

user mods. mods was pamm 2
Also you can ignore the ini file that is created, only the json file is important, the ini file again is for pamm v2

I forgot to post the Legacy name list.

Legacy

Regarding the use of the settings manager, you should add in a requires section to the modinfo.json file so that PAMM knows it needs it:

Code:

    "requires": [
        "rSettingsManager"
    ],

You also need to call initialSettingValue before you decode the local storage:

Code:

    cPlanetNameThemes.getTheme = function() {
        var settings = decode(localStorage.settings);
        var theme = settings.cPlanetNameThemes_theme;
        initialSettingValue("cPlanetNameThemes_theme", "Star Wars");
        return this.themes[theme];
    }

should be

Code:

    cPlanetNameThemes.getTheme = function() {
        initialSettingValue("cPlanetNameThemes_theme", "Star Wars");
        var settings = decode(localStorage.settings);
        var theme = settings.cPlanetNameThemes_theme;
        return this.themes[theme];
    }

Updated to v1.1.1 with raevn's changes. I also did a couple other little things and threw in a ton of comments. People won't see any difference unless they were getting settings manager bugs.

No. We're a peaceful planet. We have no weapons....

Adm Tarkin: Look at all that MEX. And with so many orbital defenses.... [turns] You may fire, when ready.

I think I found an error. When you first make a new game the auto generated system will use themed names but when you click generate new system the names will be blank.

I'm aware of that, but it isn't really an issue. Those new planets still do use the new names. Actually, if you generate a new system and then go back to the main menu, the names will show up once you go back to new game.

Uber's new game screen actually has a bug anyway, since the planet names never show up there in their version of the planet generator. I'll get around to fixing this so the names always show up when a get a chance, but I'm currently working on a way to save systems to PA Stats.

ok, cool!
