"Ripped apart by a Procyon B"

[Aury]

Note the extra 'a'

The death text should be able to have some way of being told that the name is a proper noun when the name is being set in the system generation.

You can do this in a couple of ways:

In the <StationType> definition, make sure you have noArticle="true". [If you have a <Names> element, then: <Names noArticle="true">...]

If you set the name via objSetName, then make sure you pass 0x40 as a flag (see objSetName help).

I was trying to do it in the system generation XML [via a manually placed XML orbital] where it doesnt seem to be an option

You're right...that needs to be added. But here is a workaround:

Code: Select all

<Orbitals ...>
   <Code>
      (block (starObj)
         (setq starObj (sysCreateStation starType (sysOrbitPos aOrbit)))
         (objSetName starObj "Procyon B" 0x40)
         )
    </Code>
</Orbitals>

You can also look at how I create Sirius B (in Sirius.xml of Eternity Port).
