If you're talking about the character creation names, why do you want to change the presets? It seems like a complicated solution to a simple problem because you can just type the name what you want.

[SarahPlaying]

I would still very much like to know how I could alter the basic list of names used by the character generator please .

Well... C:\Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\media\lua\shared\NPCs\MainCreationMethods.lua file has them all so I guess you could start from there.

The piece of code I'm, talking about:

Why can't I find anything xD

Get Notepad++ and whenever you need something found just use it's Search In Files (Ctrl+Shift+F) function. It can search for whatever you need through all .lua files in PZ's lua dir (Or any other dir) in about 5 seconds..

[SarahPlaying]

I seem to have broken the game by doing this... I must have deleted a ";" too many or left a wrong space in the code. Is strange, whenever I start the game and the file I try to load is no longer working, the start page shows that red rectangle to show how many Zombies there are, right from the start. Will try to fix or scream for help or just redownload the game I guess .

Just copy what I posted up there and paste it back in there (Replacing your changes), should fix it unless you changed more than just that particular part of the code. Also, I recommend going about it a different way. Make a mod instead of directly modifying game files. You can have a mod that just replaces that file or you could possibly make one that only replaces the functions that add names.

[SarahPlaying]

I have no idea how to make mods, but I will definitely use the text you posted as it did not seem to be a question of a ";" too little. I know nothing at all about coding but it seems strange that altering a part of the code that just gives out some variations in regards to names makes such a difference. If ever you feel inclined or have too much time, feel free to show me how to make the mod you suggested me .

If that doesn't help you don't need to redownload the game, just get on steam client library, right click Project Zomboid, select properties and there should be a "Verify Integrity of Game Cache" somewhere in the menu that appear (One one of it's submenus) that'll redownload just the damaged files.

http://www.mediafire.com/download/mt0y4p6loeeih3x/NameMod.7z Unpack it to C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Zomboid\mods and modify the MainCreationMethods.lua that it contains as you please, if it breaks just disable the mod and reinstall it. 

If you're not using the current IWBUMS Build 33 you'll have to replace the MainCreationMethods.lua in the mod with the one from your game directory otherwise there will be bugs. Otherwise I can give you a base for a mod that just adds new names to roster without replacing the base game file.

[SarahPlaying]

I see, I fucked things up by opening the Lua file in NotePad, when I made the changes in a different Word Program it worked fine just the way  you told me at the start. Much obliged .

[Svarog]

Use Notepad++ it highlights syntax and is in general about 10 times better than any other text editing tool.

[SarahPlaying]

How come you have both a spoon and a Spiffo Cookie?

That aside, much obliged for all the help. I may still want to start the mod, though it must seem unnecessary complex for most to even bother doing so. But but but... Have fun .

[SarahPlaying]

I will download the NotePad you suggested. Also much obliged for the tip on how to fix game files from within Steam. I knew at some point how to but had since forgotten to. You make any games? Or... did you work at Zomboid?

The spoon is the first weapon I used in PZ and I won the cookie

I never made any games I just make Small Mods for them.
