OK, so which files do we need? Unit descriptions I think it's easier just to post up one by one, so:
descr_buildings (building descriptions)
menu quotes (though those are nearly done)
The traits files (can't remember which/how many there are)
?
Part of the trouble is that a lot of files have easy hissy-fits and so it's best to literally test after each and every edit, which is why I'm less keen to Github the whole thing - bugchecking/fixing can take me longer than doing it myself.
In terms of names: the names files were just not working, I don't know why but what I've done is reverted to the original RTW ones, given all six factions the original Julii name list, and then I'm working on putting Nick's names over the originals in the output (names.txt) file only, so the internal names are unchanged. I've thrown a bunch of bugcheckers at Nick's files but not come up with anything, so a large amount of painful debugging and testing would probably take me longer than this strategy. I'll take over on that from now on anyway.
If anyone has time, unit descriptions would probably be highest on my wish-list right now. Also, what ideas do we have for the symbols & flags for the six factions?
