LE Skyrim Random Name SKSE Plugin for PC Characters

[MrGrymReaper]

Hi,

 

I don't mind making my own character names however when using a modification like "Dead Is Dead" and using multiple characters avoiding repetition can get difficult or boring potentially very fast. I have seen that there is a random name generator for generic NPC characters.

 

There isn't one for generating player character names however. So is it possible for one to be developed which can generate player character names please on the fly in game?

 

The code would likely go something like this:-

 
Declare variables for RaceMenu API access
Declare rndIntNumber As Long Integer
Declare variables for Access to a text file
 
flPCNameDatabase = Open File (Path to name database)
 
rndIntNumber = genRandomInt[1,last record long integer ID in flPCNameDatabase)
 
Query database for record matching ID.
 
Retrieve the record using the ID and copy the forename, surname and/or title to a variable
 
Access the RaceMenu API and copy the variable's contents to the Name field used by RaceMenu and Skyrim.
 

The name database would preferrably need to be using medieval names to follow something close to lore and/or immersion. An example source of said names could be from a site like Medieval Names database on stormthecastle.com (http://medieval.stormthecastle.com/medieval-names.htm).

 

There are likely other such databases on the internet trying searching for "Medieval Names" or "Lists of Medieval Names".
