Title: stellar-database altplanetnames.txt (~17k names)
Post by: draeath on October 20, 2012, 06:46:26 pm

I ran a database dump from stellar-database (http://www.stellar-database.com) and did some basic SQL and filtering to give you all this altplanetnames.txt :)

These are real names. Unfortunately, most of them are not "friendly" to look at, but seeing as this is AI War I feel they fit. (an example: "CPD -63°49")

Here's the list! (http://www.draeath.net/linked-on-forums/arcen/altplanetnames-isdb-filtered.txt)

However, it does not seem to work right! I made sure to encode it in ANSI, with windows line endings (CR+LF). However, AIWar is ignoring some characters in here not on a QWERTY keyboard - but they are all ASCII-printable. Symbols such as 0xA7 (°). I know there are a few more like 0x94 (ö) however they are rare enough that I can't be certain if they work.

Is there not some way to get these to work? These are standard ASCII printables, they should all work.

Thanks to Radiant Phoenix (http://www.arcengames.com/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=11542) for catching this for me...

It seems to work just fine in UTF-8 format!

Here's the re-encoded file (http://www.draeath.net/linked-on-forums/arcen/altplanetnames-isdb-filtered.txt.test). ENJOY! 17,953 names.
