[DONE][SUGGESTION] Short stat names in accuracy/damage info
« on: February 25, 2022, 03:27:26 pm »
I'd like to request for the accuracy and damage formulas listed at the bottom of Pedia pages to use abbreviated stats instead: BRA instead of Bravery, STR instead of Strength, etc.
Using full names is neither handy nor necessary in this case.

I'd support this, but please make it optional, if only becauuse not everybody might be aware what the abbreveations stand for.

Oh please. Everybody can see it after every single mission (stat upgrades).

And even if someone has never seen that screen in their life... Well, if they can't understand such a direct abbreviation, they shouldn't be near a working PC.

Then I'd have to veto that request and would not support it being integrated. The current iteration ensures that everybody is able to understand which stats affect the weapon/item in question. Your suggestion does not.

Actually, that's what "Stats For Nerds" was for, but it looks good. The main thing is displayed.

Can weapon ranges (auto/snap/aimed) be extracted into pedia article?

There is no more space to display anything in the pedia articles.
But you can see the weapon ranges under the INFO button (if you're using OXCE).

Documentation here: https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php/Ruleset_Reference_Nightly_(OpenXcom)#UFOpaedia_Article

If reduce the font size of the display of the type of attack, then the third line may also include information about the distance for the types of attack.

This is not exactly related, but I enabled (I think) extra stats for nerds/abbreviated soldier profiencies after name or somesuch. I dont know exactly what some of these mean. Example looking at soldiers at the base their names appear like this: Bobby Busciea/mr or Kathy Pox/cm. What does /mr and /cm mean? I see no corresponding stat.
