Abbreviations for Add'Ons

Hi.

I recently borked beautifully on naming an Add'On of mine because I didn't knew about the abbreviation adopted for an Add'On, and now I want to prevent this mishap from  happening again. :)

  • Entries marked as "*" are suggestions by me, as I had the need to abbreviate these ones.
  • Entries marked as "?" are suggestions from contributors, pending confirmation from 3rd-parties.
  • Entries marked as "!" are collisions, and this need to be arbitrated somehow
  • Entries marked as "==" are synonyms used to designate the same Add’On

Is that list accurate? There're more entries to be added for sure, may I ask for suggestions?

(better, there's a place where these abbreviations are recorded? At this time, I found this one - but user focused, and I need a more "formalised" technical list)

Thanks to:

Consolidated data available on the TweakScale Companion Program's repository, a (WiP) CSV is available here.

I'm used to seeing B9PS or even just B9 instead of B9PSW.  

Usually just MJ is enough to refer to the current MechJeb 2.  I don't think I've ever seen referred to as MJ2.  I haven't been around long enough to ever have seen MechJeb 1.

SSPX -  Stockalike Station Parts Expansion Redux

I think SSPX is still used primarily rather than SSPR or SSPxR

whatever PBR and PQS mean

These aren't abbreviations for addons. They're abbreviations for aspects of the scene and aren't limited to within KSP. PBR means Physically Based Rendering which is a way of calculating the looks of materials from an object's given textures and shader. When someone says PBR they typically mean [properly rendering metallic looks] and using a "metallic workflow" and not "specular workflow" to produce textures. PQS means Procedural Quad Sphere. This is the terrain generation technique of KSP. A planet's surface is built from quads (4-sided polygons) and these quads become smaller and more fine (for increasing level of detail) with proximity to the camera or active vessel).

Suggestion:

Could whatever PBR and PQS mean be added? I keep seeing them pop up, but without context on what they actually mean.

Are you meaning Unity's PBR and KSP's implementation for  PQS (procedural quadtree sphere)?

I originally envisioned an add'ons acronyms database, but something more generic would be useful too - no doubt.

What do you think on this thread?

In light of Jade's response, I guess I am referring to those things. I'll look at the other thread now.
