Re: Acronym Dictionary
tbontob,
Do you need this put into a spreadsheet or tab delimited file for easier manipulation? I can help with that. |
Re: Acronym Dictionary
I made a list adding names from the data files.
I got 354 names, but too many repeated ancronyms, for example SS stands for: SS = Supply Storage, Component SS = Security Station, Component SS = Solar Sail, Component SS = Space Station , Hull SS = Small Satellite , Hull |
Re: Acronym Dictionary
I have created a poll "What form should the acronym dictionary take"
We may get more votes and therefore a more representative sample, if we can create a link to it from this thread. I would ask anyone who are skilled in this, to create such a link. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif |

Re: Acronym Dictionary

So, far it is 2 to 3. You'll have to vote to see which is which. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif Don't know what I'll do it it comes out more or less even. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif |
Re: Acronym Dictionary
I don't really know if many other people use GG for Gas Giant, hence why I posted it, to see if I (and a few other B5 Modders) was the only one who used it.
I'm guessing the B5Mod is a valid mod. Has been referred to as such for almost a year now. You can be the judge http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif |

I think I may have been misunderstood. I am a newbie and know next to nothing about mods http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif If you say it is a valid mod, then it is a valid mod and I accept your word for it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif If it isn't, I think you will find a bunch of guys jumping all over you. And then we will have an issue. So, the only thing I am waiting from you is your discription of the mod in the format such as: FQM = Fyron's Quadrant Mod Another point, mods do not have to wait until the acronym becomes common partly because they are put into the fun stuff and partly because they are separate from the main database of acronyms. Also, if the creator of the mod does not like the current acronym in use for it, I see no problem in the mod's creator asking for a new acronym which he would like to be used. Of course, if the old one is in the database of acronyms, the old one will have to be deleted. Some guys may jump all over me on this, but it seems to me, the creator of a mod should have a major input on the acronym which he wishes to be used. About GG, see my explanation in the Poll. What is decided in the poll will determine how we treat acronyms such as GG. But whatever is decided, at a bare minimum, if it is in common use, it should be included!" Edit: I only have one suggestion about acronyms...and that is try to keep it short, sweet and simple. An acronym like XEVTJJR is less likely to be remembered and used than say, XEV.
