# Name All The Things

A naming mod for [Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance Forever][FAF].

This mod automatically sets names for your units, which can change based on their status. For
instance, damage can cause a unit to be labeled "angry", while idle units can be labeled "lazy"
or "useless". These names are visible to you, and to the people you are playing with.

## Features

* Units get a randomly assigned name
* The list of names can be configured by changing the list in the mod
* Idle units will be "bored" and get one of several bored prefixes (different for engineers and non-engineers)
* Units get a prefix indicating their health, getting progressively more angry as health decreases
* Out of fuel air units will be "hungry"
* Option for extra names that only get used for UEF units
* High probability of LOL or RAGE from other players

## Installation

* Download the [latest version of the mod][download]
* Extract the zip and rename the directory from `NameAllTheThings-master` to `NameAllTheThings`
* Place the directory into `Documents\My Games\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\Mods`

## Configuration

You can configure the names that show up by editing the text at the top of `modules\nameunits.lua`.
The names cannot contain the quotation marks placed in front and after them and need to be followed
by a comma, except for the last name in a list, which should not be followed by a comma.

## Updates and contributing

You can find the latest version of the mod on the [Name All The Things GitHub project][GitHub], which is
also the place where you can file issues, post feature request, and submit patches.
