Title: What does the UC mean?
Post by: The Martian on January 27, 2022, 04:49:11 pm

I see _UC at the end of the name of several craft weapons and armor in the .rul files:
STR_SONIC_OSCILLATOR_UC
STR_GAUSS_CANNON_UC
STR_PWT_CANNON_UC
STR_CRAFT_GAS_CANNON_UC
STR_MAGNETIC_ION_ARMOR_UC
STR_ION_ARMOR_UC
STR_PLASTIC_AQUA_ARMOR_UC
STR_NONE_UC

What is UC?

UpperCase

Why is UpperCase used for the type: name in the craftWeapons: and armors: entries?

Is it just a naming convention for a type: that also has an items: entry directly related to it, or does it have some other function?

it just says that the translation should be in upper case, nothing else

For example "POWER SUIT" instead of "Power Suit"
