Actually I have no idea what 'Noobs vs. Devs' is, but it sounds interesting and I don't care if you use my name.

It was an MP era that never really took off IIRC. Generic types of newbie versus generic types of dev.

Re: Funny units names (previously "Lolman?")
I was just archive binging on the forums when I saw this faction thread based on making units that are supposed to represent the people who play wesnoth, the noobs and devs. Unit trees included Artists, Musicians, Developers (Heavy hitters), WML Wizards (with epic hax), and Admins. And then the Noobs had Spammer(1 gold, level 0, 1 health, 1 XP for amla, 1-1 Spam, melee impact), Forum Lurkers (like nightstalk and stealth on 80% of the terrains). And then there was this one unit which had 11 unit upgrades, so it could concievably get to Level 11. That's 88 XP. Epic imbalance win.Captain_Wrathbow wrote:Count me in!Zerovirus wrote:About names, who remembers 'Noobs vs. Devs'? I think I'm going to put people from the forums in... With permission

Didn't get completed. But I thought it was cool. Of course, I wasn't around when it got started and eventually died.

Klaatu?
If you felt like some fun, add letters, hyphens and numbers to the name generator, and you've got star wars robots

Oh, I'm sorry, did I break your concentration?
Re: Funny units names
I wonder if anyone tried using teh naming guides in the various D&D supplement "Races of…" and "Drow of teh Underdark"…

Set the markov_chain_size in the [race] to a sufficiently long value so that there won't be any matching word-parts. (default is 2, woses use 3)Captain_Wrathbow wrote:I didn't realize you could do this, but a quick look through the files found the place where each race's names are listed. I tried replacing the elvish names with my own stuff, but then I tested it in-game and it was trying to combine the syllables from one name with others. (which was actually somewhat amusing. I got an Elf Fighter named Turumyrran. Turuk + Blarumyrran. The only one that worked right was an elvish shaman named Noy... ) How do I make it just use the exact names I list?

Re: Funny units names
Briefly going back to the strange unit names, every now and then I see an orc or troll called Dad.
Chaotic huh? So *that's* why he used to win the bedtime debates...
Okay I'm done.

Halfway down page 2...I'm dancing with accusations of thread necromancy here...Oh, to hell with it
Since the Enterprise crashed in the Wilderlands, the captain has really put on weight.
No, I didn't name this saurian manually, and yes, it's past the 9pm watershed over here
*makes a run for it*
