Lisias Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) 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. So I'm asking for the Forum most used abbreviations for the Add'Ons. This is what I got to this time: AAP Atmospheric Autopilot AAW Arc Aerospace's Wyvern (*) APP Airplane Plus APUS Aerospace Passenger & Utility System ARP Alternate Resource Panel ATM Active Texture Management AVC Addon Version Checker AVP Astronomer's Visual Pack B9PS B9 Part Switch B9PW B9 Procedural Wings BARIS Building A Rocket Isn't Simple BDA BDArmory BDB Bluedog Design Bureau BDBNIC BDB Now In Colors BFS Banana for Scale BH Beyond Home BOMP Bolt-On Mission Probes BOSS Bolt-On Screenshot System BTSM Better Than Starting Manned CA Cormorant Aeronology CC Configurable Containers CCK Community Category Kit CCK Community Category Kit CL Comfortable Landing CLS Connected Living Spaces CNAR Completely Non-Aggressive Rocketry CRE Commonwealth Rocketry Establishment CRP Community Resource Pack CTT Community Tech Tree CTTP Community Terrain Texture Pack CWA Cold War Aerospace CxA CxAerospace (Station Parts) DART D.A.R.T.

Continued (?) 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: @Tonka Crash @overkill13 @Nightside @Hohmannson @OrdinaryKerman @Caerfinon @antipro @OhioBob @D4RKN3R Consolidated data available on the TweakScale Companion Program's repository, a (WiP) CSV is available here.

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.

Grenartia Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Suggestion: Could whatever PBR and PQS mean be added? I keep seeing them pop up, but without context on what they actually mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JadeOfMaar Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 2 hours ago, Grenartia said: 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).

Lisias Posted August 16 Author Share Posted August 16 2 hours ago, Grenartia said: 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? https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/topic/225775-useful-acronymns-on-ksp/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
