Ahyangyi's Finnish Town Name List for OpenTTD.

Step-by-step scripts to create a Finnish town name NewGRF for OpenTTD.

Step 1

Run ./crawler.sh to fetch the web pages containing location names (not included in this repo).

Step 2

Run ./analyze.py to create name list (already included).

Step 3

Run ./compound-finder.py to discover common parts of Finnish location names.

Step 4

Run ./nmlgen.py to generate the needed NML files.

Step 5

To generate the .grf file, run:

cd nml-project/main
make

Similarly, go to nml-project/chn to generate the Chinese transliteration version.

Caveat

Different Finland places have different official langauges (Finnish, Swedish or different dialects of Sami), but since the compound finder (step 3) uses a frequency-based filter, non-Finnish roots seem to be filtered out, and no attempts have been made to create separate generators for them.

The Chinese Transliteration uses a lookup table, and does not properly work with non-Finnish name.
