== Introduction ==

This OXP adds randomly generated names to almost all normal ship classes (except police, military, and Thargoids) in Oolite.

== Overview ==

Randomshipnames.oxp does exactly what it says on the tin: assigning randomly generated names to the ships you meet in your Ooniverse. A big thank you goes to "Disembodied" for not only coming up with useful naming schemes, but also providing huge word lists as fodder for the random generator.

== Minimum Requirements ==

Randomshipnames.oxp requires at least Oolite 1.75.

== Download Location ==

Randomshipnames.oxp is available for download via [http://www.box.com/s/1k8k34v34vqtb094u24f box.com].

== Installation ==

Move or copy the file randomshipnames.oxp from its download folder into your AddOns folder. Where that resides depends on your installation. Restart Oolite.

== Examples ==

 The first parameter of $externalNameEngine is the name of your worldScript, second is the primary role of the ships you rename in your $randomName function. Third is the probability of the callback between 0 and 1 where 1 mean always, 0.1 mean only the 10% of ships with the given primaryRole will be named by your function, others will get names from randomshipnames.

 You can exclude any ship of yours from getting a random name through this OXP. You can do this by using the script_info-key in shipdata.plist. Insert a value named randomshipnames and set it to no. Now your ship won't get a name through this OXP.
