No, it only requires a single line in a mod:
Code: [Select]
extraNerdyPediaInfoType: 2

May I ask how can one add a line in a mod?

I threw together a simple mod. Should work with any mod, as long as you have the right OXCE version (if I'm not mistaken, not officially released yet).

Thanks- But you said "not officially released yet" then how can we use this mod then-

Thanks to Meridian, you can get unreleased OXCE builds from https://lxnt.wtf/oxem/#/Extended.
Warning: these are experimental builds, may not work properly (although it's extremely rare) and in some cases may not be compatible with the current mods.

Or you can wait until the next official OXCE release.

It is not important if this feature in the game or not lol. But even with 7.7 this feature still not working for most items. only 2 items that I see with this feature working.

How about you give us some screenshots (one working example and one not working) and a save file at least?

Just saying "it doesn't work" doesn't help us solve it at all...

To me, all 4 screenshots look OK.

lol guys. This is really not that important. Having this or not does not matter that much. I see this feature in XPiratez few years ago when I was playing her and I do not care or use those info that much. I think your guys can use your time in other more important things. lol.

Anyway. Only 3 items that I see the accuracy and damage info which I show them in the picture. The pistol and all other items does not have any of the new info. Again guys. Appreciatd your time in this but I do not want to waste your time in this anymore. lol

Your screenshots do have 'it', as Meridian said. This feature is not about adding something new, it's about reformatting existing info into a shorter format. Both the Alloy Sword and the Machete display using the new, shorter format.

The pistol doesn't display anything because it doesn't use special stat-based formulae for accuracy or power. The rest have the info at the bottom.
