Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Topic. That was bothering me for a long time.
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
It's just a small grammar fix.
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
All women surnames ending with consonant should end with -a.
For example: Ivan Ivanov, but, Elena Ivanova. There're some exceptions but since there're no rare surnames in Bears list (Lurie, as example), no point bothering with em.
Here's a full list of fixed surnames, you just need to add it as second list to ERT name generation.

Re: Fix Iron Bears surnames

Re: Fix Iron Bears surnames
We pull our surnames from a large collected list. It would require a quite a bit of additional code to check if the first name is a woman's name, and if it ends with an "a".
Doable, but a lot more effort than I feel it's worth. We have a lot more pressing issues to attend to, and a limited number of people to do it.

Re: Fix Iron Bears surnames
No point fixing all random names (even though I was unable to find those russian surnames anywhere except for ERT). Just fix this ERT list. Make a copy replacing surnames as I listed, give it another, I don't know, -rw ending and change part with women name generation from r list to rw list. 1 minute, plus 10 seconds to find this part of code.SecretStamos (Joshuu) wrote:We pull our surnames from a large collected list.

I can make another suggestion later on after you'll finish working with more important stuff listing fixed surnames for general name generation. Thanks to that leaked version I've got something to work with.
UPD: Look, I've even done that for you.
UPD2: I was talking about last names and those are being taken from a very short list stated right in Iron Bears ERT spawning. As well as names, though.
UPD3: Did you seriously think about making a part of code that will check gender? ._.
