Returns the ability to randomize the player's name to the character creation menu. Just a small addon made as a practice run for UI modifications.
Grabbed the name generation table from CoM, seems to have no issues but please report any strange behaviour. This will conflict with any add-ons that change the faction select screen such as perk cost reduction addons. I have included two patch files to merge this with changes from my Tweakium addon, if you would like some help merging it with others feel free to ask.

This mod caused a crash when used with tweakium + merc tweak.
FATAL ERROR

stack trace:
If i replace the file from this mod with the Tweakium Mercenary Perk Pistol+Ammo (Optional) crash doesn't happen.
"XML node not found" means the .xml file where the Randomize Name button is located is not present. If you are using the Merc tweak patch you have to paste it over the gamedata folder, not just apply the Merc patch folder. You need to drop the gamedata folder made when the .7z is unzipped into your game directory then drop the gamedata folder inside the "Merc + Tweak Patch" folder on top of that.
If you are doing this, another addon must be overwriting the configs/ui/ui_mm_faction_select_16.xml file, if this is the case all you need to do is open the file, search for "btn_rand" and copy paste the entire xml entry into the .xml file again (in the same place beside btn_back and btn_submit) after any other addons modify it.
Why can't this work with faction select?
