Statstring Mod Abbreviations Defined

[Raven_2012]

I am new playing X-Com UFO Defense, I am using openXcom of course. I enabled the Statstring mod, which seems useful. Is there somewhere online or can someone here list what the abbreviations mean? Some I know, like w=weak and b=high bravery. I just kind of want a list I can refer back to, to help me learn them and maybe print them off some I can always know what each one means until I learn them.

Thanks.

Here you are.

b = (brave)
c = (coward)

w = (weak) strength very low

Snpr = (sniper) very good firing and reactions.

M = (marksman ++)
m = (marksman +)

Sct = (scout) Good time units and reactions.

R = (reactions ++)
r = (reactions +)

P = (psi strength ++)
p = (psi strength +)
x = (psi strength very weak)

K = (psi skill ++)
k = (psi skill +)

To see exact numbers look at the XcomUtil_Statstrings.rul or the Wiki. I have the numbers in this list myself, but my are somewhat modified so i removed them here.

I think it follows the XComUtils way, which is given here: https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=Statstrings#The_default_configuration:

(Note that -30 means 30 and below, while 80- means 80 and above, it's a weird way of listing the stats).

It is actually a mod that you can find in your game folder, under.. something like "data/standard/XComUtils_Statstrings/XComUtils_Statstrings.rul". That's the file which defines all the properties. You can copy it into your mod folder and modify it if you'd like (ex.: to make some abbreviations more informative to you, or to get other info).

Well you can adept them for your own needs. It totally depends on your playstyle and how you handle your soldier,
they may die nevertheless but screening them initially increases survival because they can hit shit!
Even thou sacking 80% or more of your soldiers can be pretty expensive.
Since i do prefer a more aggressive playstyle and heavy usage of tanks, my dudes need to hit their targets.
The statstring can be adepted to your own needs, as i mentioned before, i did so myself, and here is the result:
