Kwah: Needs some updates before approval. What I'd like to see is a) some female name options to increase it's use. b)an easier way of generating names. c) I don't know how you generates the names but it would be cool to do it from the existing pool of WC3 names, and include an option for last names to match the existing style.

Jazztastic · Aug 7, 2011

Omfg, this is EXACTLY what I needed. No more silly sounding names.

EDIT: It isn't working. I'm typing '-', and there are no names being generated. I have windows 7, running on a laptop. I'm too lazy to updated with all my system specs. Anyways, where is the name supposed to appear?

Operating System Version:
Windows 7 (64 bit)

All I wanted to know

I still don't know if this would work on Windows Vista (1 computer Windows 7 64-bit and 2 computers Windows 7 32-bit)
I do have another old computer with Windows Vista though...
Unfortunately, it's uber slow and takes 10 minutes to startup >.<
For startup, I'd usually expect between 10 and 20 seconds

So, if anyone has Windows Vista or XP, could you help me out? ^^

Ahimtar · Aug 7, 2011

inventing a good hero name was never a problem to me, but im excited to see this

(but i still think, that good self-invented names are usually more fitting, and these are sometimes weird

) anyway, its a useful tool for some ppl... like.

btw i loled when it gave me Gayin xD

Magtheridon96 · Aug 7, 2011

btw i loled when it gave me Gayin xD

lol
There are some wierd names that come up, and there are a lot of good names.
To find the right name, you should continuously generate

Btw, what OS do you have? ^^

Jazztastic · Aug 7, 2011

Once this becomes stable and works for a plethora of OS's, you should consider adding prefixes and suffixes to names as an option. Lord Nicholas is better than Nicholas, or Kaz the Redeemer is CERTAINLY more interesting than just Kaz. (Just made up those names)

Magtheridon96 · Aug 7, 2011

Once this becomes stable and works for a plethora of OS's

Actually, I don't know if it works on Windows Vista or XP, but it might

And maybe I will add that Prefix/Suffix idea ^^

Luorax · Aug 8, 2011

Cool tool! I like it! +rep, of course.
You did a pretty good job there.
But how exactly generates this names? I'd really like to know the formula you used here

Magtheridon96 · Aug 8, 2011

The algorithm is quite simple and stupid

I generate the names by combining prefixes and sufficies xD

edit
This is simple, but useful and it's so easy, it can be written in plain Jass or even GUI

D.O.G. · Aug 9, 2011

Funny program! For me thinking up names always was difficult.

But it's annoying to type every time "-" and pressing enter. Would be better pressing only enter, or other one key.

And option for women names will be good too.

Well actually, the algorithm I'm using doesnt allow me to specify types of names, but I'll see what I can do

Also, The - is a must :/
I'm not that good of a coder

I'll update this thing :/

I was typing '-' instead of - which is why no names were popping up.

Yeah the program works fine and is great! I vote for approval

Magtheridon96 · Aug 9, 2011

Not really, I'm improving the algorithm

The next version will be able to generate roughly upto a few hundred million names

Magtheridon96 · Aug 13, 2011

Updated!

Changes:
- Now generates female names
- Now generates last names to match WC3 style
- Now generates up to 61000000 names

It's much better now!!! But it very often gives me Blackwood surname.
Also it still requires pressing enter after "-". Annoying...

Ofcourse it requires you to press enter after "-"
That's how the <iostream> library knows when you finished your input

Too bad it filters whitespace (Whitespace at the end/beginning) and doesn't accept empty strings >.<

You can use this code:

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int i=0;
    while(true){
        i=getch();        
        if (i=='-') {
            cout<<"male name\n"; 
        }    
        else if (i=='=') {
            cout<<"female name\n";             
        }                          
    }            
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

Magtheridon96 · Aug 15, 2011

#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int i=0;
    while(true){
        i=getch();        
        if (i=='-') {
            cout<<"male name\n"; 
        }    
        else if (i=='=') {
            cout<<"female name\n";             
        }                          
    }            
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

That looks exactly like the actual source ^^ (Without the other functions that is

)

The only difference is that I'm using strings instead of chars

Oh and thank you ^^

I'll switch to chars

edit

I've updated this Generator, and I think it's ready for approval

Geries · Aug 16, 2011

Hmm I have tested it. And yes it seems an easy generator ^^ The most annoying thing I found in it: I generate a name( "-" or "=" ) but I am not able to copy-paste it... its a pain to copy that, easier to make names myself xP... there should be an easier way to copy like "press "c" to copy" which refers last name generated.

Magtheridon96 · Aug 16, 2011

That's a nice idea

But becareful, most people at one point would start to press - and = really fast, so you might end up losing the chance to copy/paste a name you like xD
That shouldn't be much of a problem

The only thing I'm worried about is the fact that it might clear some important data you have on the Clipboard, so I better add a Warning ^^

D.O.G. · Aug 18, 2011

C++ copy char* to clipboard:

Code:

#include <Windows.h>

void copychars(char* s){
    OpenClipboard(NULL);
    EmptyClipboard();
    char* Buff = NULL;
    HGLOBAL mem = GlobalAlloc(GHND, sizeof(char) * (strlen(s)+1));
    Buff = (char*)GlobalLock(mem);
    GlobalUnlock(mem);
    strcpy(Buff, s);
    SetClipboardData(CF_TEXT, mem);
    CloseClipboard();
}

Magtheridon96 · Aug 18, 2011

D.O.G, THANK YOU!

Btw, if that script is used to copy a char to the Clipboard, if I want to copy the name,
should I loop through all the characters of the string and call that function?

No-no-no!!!

This function copies a char array - string.

Example:

Code:

copychars("male name");

Magtheridon96 · Aug 18, 2011

OH!

That helps ^^
Although, my C++ compiler keeps telling me to deprecate the function strcpy and use strcpy_s instead, but that function requires an extra parameter, so I wont touch anything

D.O.G. · Aug 18, 2011

You should use this code:

Code:

copychars((char*)LastGen.c_str());

Magtheridon96 · Aug 18, 2011

UPDATED

Perfected the program ^^ (not the source ;D) xD

Vercas · Aug 19, 2011

This could be done much easier in .NET (Visual C++/C#/Basic).
But the program is nice.
I like the last names... but the first names look more like The Elder Scrolls style than Warcraft.

Magtheridon96 · Aug 21, 2011

Well, the last names kind of help the first names sound Warcraft-ish

Vercas · Aug 21, 2011

Magtheridon96 said:

Yes, unless you call someone only by his first name. :wink:

Magtheridon96 · Aug 21, 2011

Yes, unless you call someone only by his first name.

lol

Basically, wc3 names are generic fanatasy names with modified sufficies ^^

D3athM3at · Sep 11, 2011

Female name: Obana Demonwood.. souds more like male name for me

Magtheridon96 · Sep 13, 2011

Then just generate another one >

I can't make an update just because one of the 61000000 names is faulty ^_^

Ahimtar · Sep 26, 2011

Magtheridon96 said:

- Now generates up to 61000000 names

update the program description, it still says
"This program can generate up to 60888960 original WC3 names"

Magtheridon96 · Sep 27, 2011

That's cause it does

When I said 61000000, I was rounding it up ^_^

Jazztastic · Sep 29, 2011

You should add an easter egg to give only terrorist names. At the same time, I would get frustrated only getting the name "Mohammed Mohammed" every time I did the command >

Magtheridon96 · Oct 1, 2011

What about Ahmad?

Kratoz-X · Oct 2, 2011

sweeeeet for map makers man...... anyways you can ever digital sign it like magos model editor (most known .exe over here) and truly XP laptop..etc man just works fine

i sigthlity recomend a update with M insted of - and F instead of =
just ideas.................I Can digitaly sign it? to hiveworkshop/you?? i think is not too difficult i wll try it until you say something ^^

Magtheridon96 · Oct 2, 2011

No need for a digital signature

And if you want, I could change it to run on M and F

Magtheridon96 · Oct 30, 2011

OMG XD

I was generating a few names and got this:
Imohora Demoneye

xD LMFAO

xIceShotx · Dec 3, 2011

It works for me succesfully lol.
Suggestion - Maby you can make a button that like removes all the names you just generated meaning that they can be used again but you just erased the ones you just saw

.

Magtheridon96 · Dec 4, 2011

So, you want me to clear the screen?
Why on Earth would you want to do that? ;O

xIceShotx · Dec 14, 2011

Lol, its just a clear button xD

D.O.G. · Dec 14, 2011

xIceShotx said:

Yeah, I think clear button needs to be added!

P.S. It gave me "Jujara Magebane"! :xxd:

Magtheridon96 · Dec 22, 2011

Heh

It occasionally gives me really funny names ^_^

I guess I can add a clear command (c)
Unfortunately, I can't decide whether I should risk using system() functions or just go with something lame like cout << string(25, '\n')

What are your opinions on this matter?
I'll make an update using system("CLS"), and if anyone has problems, I'll change it to cout << string(25, '\n').

xIceShotx · Dec 22, 2011

You shouldn't make a clear button to clean the whole screen lol, just the names

btw, almost every last name i see, it has something then fist at the end like a example: Oyalag Demonfist

D.O.G. · Dec 22, 2011

1 tip: I think that after cleaning screen it will be good to write description with hotkeys as it does in the beginning.
