wowbagger Posted June 15, 2020 Posted June 15, 2020 Note : For those who aren't bothered by F14 missing a hyphen, 'carry on, nothing to see here', go enjoy your day elsewhere, wonderfully unencumbered by such trivialities. I know I asked about this in the Bugs sub-forum, but since IronMike's reaction seemed so incongruous to the original question, and the thread was summarily closed, I think there might have been some kind of misunderstanding or miscommunication. The original question was whether the in game designation could be changed from F14 to F-14 (yes, this bothers some of us every time we see it). After messing about for a few minutes I realized that if you add a line to the entry.lua you can change it thus: The line I added was : shortName = "F-14", so that the file now looks like this: ... dirName = current_mod_path, displayName = _("F-14"), [b] shortName = "F-14",[/b] fileMenuName = _("F-14"), update_id = "HEATBLUR_F-14", ...I tested a number of missions, instant actions, skins and mods and nothing seems broken by this change. Does anyone know if this will muck up the module in any obvious way? I understand that the change would have to be reapplied after updates and repairs, as with so many mods. @IronMike, I don't want to speak for the others in the original thread, but the intent was never to concern ourselves with your folder nomenclature or how HB names things in the code. Just a simple question about this one little UI change. Apologies if that wasn't clear. no sig
draconus Posted June 15, 2020 Posted June 15, 2020 (edited) Seems like common problem to other modules in DCS too. But ingame "F14" is bad looking when choosing missions. Mike clearly misunderstood.

IronMike Posted June 17, 2020 Posted June 17, 2020 Oh, oops! My bad, I totally thought you were talking about the folder name. Yes, this needs to be fixed. Agreed. Sorry for being stubborn, we all thought for some reason you just meant the folder. Thank you indeed for pointing it out, again, and persevering against my thickheadedness haha. Well done! S!

IronMike Posted June 17, 2020 Posted June 17, 2020 Thanks IronMike! Sorry again for not being more clear the first time around. Hey, no worries, it was my mistake for assuming and not asking one more time before shooting off my missiles prematurely haha. Thank you very much again for pointing it out!
