Are your demons going to be Asian-themed only? Or are you planning on using them from non-Asian cultures as well?

Mostly asian themed only for the demon names. Sykotyk Rampage is currently working on the portraits and they have a mixture of references which hint at times of a demonic western invasion.

What culture do the monks represent?

The monks are going to be a mixture of different cultures, indian, tibettan, chinese, japanese etc.

I'm 90% finished with the name text file generator tool (just need to find bugs now and fix the names like "of the North", "the Horrible", etc... right now it only picks up the first word).

For now.. I just sent it to hoggy for testing blue lotus and when I work out the kinks i'll make it public for the rest.

Does anyone know anything about all that junk at the end of /data/texts/names.txt? Do i need to keep that there? It can be done... but I want to know the point of it before I start cluttering these files.

Also I want to make sure everyone agrees here on how the "names" work in this game.

Current theory says that in order to have a name work, it must be in the descr_names.txt (obviously), and also it needs to be in descr_names_lookup.txt and /texts/names.txt. I was able to change names ONLY when i made appropriate changes to all 3 files.

Maybe anyone have a more elaborate theory on the relationship between these 3 files? It seems pretty pointless that way it's setup... which is what this tool is for (eliminates the need to retype and format the other 2 files).
