Pinball Abbreviations


Recommended Posts

  • Administrators

Hi folks thought I'd start putting in replacement variables to change the abbreviated text into the full pinball name to help new users understand wtf pinballs you guys are talking about.

 

format will be say s-ttng = Star Trek: The Next Generation.

 

Help me out! You should see the ones on the left change when they have been added.

Star Trek: The Next Generation = Star Trek: The Next Generation

TOM = Theatre of Magic

GnR = Guns N' Roses

 

etc

 

Edit: had to leave TOM out its conflicting with other stuff.

Please only make it more common stuff

How could you miss the most obvious ones?

 

DMD - Dot Matrix Display

EM - Electro Mechanical

SS - Solid State

 

TAF - The Adams Family

 

Can you make this auto-replace only work on particular subforums?

 

Edit: Hmm, I can see we're going to get into contention using acronyms for game names as well as terminology (eg SS)

yeah I wish I could but unfortunately you can only do it based on skin.

Like I said I'ts best if its only done for abbreviations that won't interfere with the forum.

CC for example could be cookie cutter

 

Better remove Fish Tales

interferes with Creature from the black lagoon

 

ok done :)

I think we should subject AK to some corporate change control.

 

Mate, you need a development server, a test server, a UAT server and then this production server. Between each server you need documented test cases and results, and you also need a peer review between each promote to the next server to ensure proper seperation of duties.

 

Trust me, its in the best interest of efficiency and profitability. Really!

Perfect! Don't delete it - I saw the other website db but I reckon it's better having a simple text list right here.

 

The only suggestion I'd make is to split the terms from the machines, e.g. at the top have EM, SS, DMD, HUO, NIB etc and after a few lines of space, all of the machine abbreviations.

No problem, I'll make the change and add some more abbreviations. Then we will see if the thread is added as a sticky or deleted ;)
