Weird Colony Name Issue - 5/31/2014 6:25:34 PM

Status: offline 		I added a few hundred names for my colonies to the colonyname.txt file and for some reason, some names are showing up blank (literally, no name at all) while others seem to work okay. There's no rhyme or reason to this error so I'm wondering if anyone else encountered this, is it a bug, is there a fix?

Status: offline 		I'm just using the standard windows text editor, the same file the game uses. I just copied the file in the main directory, put my names in it, then moved it to my customization folder.

What's weird is that it names every other colony. It'll name the first, leave the second blank, then name the third colony (with the second name on the list). I'm not sure what would cause the game to think there is a blank space between the names when there isn't one in the actual list.

Can you attach the file or link to it? I will have a look at it for you.
