What are the acronyms?

Able72 · 03-31-08, 07:47 PM

Ok, I figured out most of them.

[REQ] is a thread requesting a mod to do x

[REL] is a thread containing a release version of a mod

[WIP] is a thread talking about a mod that is in development or Work In Progress

[TEC] what the heck is this?

Also, any other acronyms floating around?

From the SH4 Mod FAQ:

Quote:

Please use the following tags when you start a new thread:

[WIP] for work-in-progress mods
[REL] for released mods
[REQ] for mod requests
[TEC] for technical discussions

A few examples:
[TEC] How can I edit .sim files?
[REQ] More deck gun ammo
[WIP] Skin repaint for Gato class

Not a thread title acronym per se, but there's also CTD*...a disease with no known cure that has struck all the modders in here. Ask Ducimus, he's been ravaged by that disease for who knows how long, and has tried only the Gods know how many remedies to get rid of it, to no avail :rotfl:

*= Compulsive Tweaking Disorder

WTF? What the F. . .

STFU Shut the F. . . Up

RTFM Read the F . . .ing Manual (for all those who elect to not read the readme and then wonder why their mod doesn't work as they expected.
