What does ULX stand for?
« on: January 30, 2014, 09:40:21 AM »
This is probably a dumb question but I can't find it anywhere, and I can't think of what "LX" could stand for. Does anyone know?

I believe the X is hinted towards the AMX mod as stated here: http://forums.ulyssesmod.net/index.php/topic,6005.0.html
"UL" would most likely just be "ULysses", in my eyes.

Not dumb at all, and for life of me, amazed we don't mention it on our www.ulyssesmod.net About page.

I thought we did list it on the about page. Hmm. Oh well.

I blame Stickly Man.
He had to go and redesign our homepage to bring it into the 20th century.
*huff* Can't believe he totally tried to leave out that bit of history.

Anyway, I found where it's still documented.
Line 10 (as of current posting SVN version)

Oh, and, there's a vague reference to AMX on Wikipedia...someone with editing privs should throw in a reference to ULib/ULX, and a disambiguation page.
AMX has one, so should ULX! Right now if you type ULX you get some fancy X-ray source.
:D :P ;)
