implemented #141

usage in config: "weapons": "Vandal, Phantom, ..."

[JanEickholt]

I decided to remove the redundent "Vandal" or "Phantom" at the end of the Skin name, to fit more weapons. If you want to remove this on a final release you can change line 50 in Loadouts.py to: weaponLists[players[player]["Subject"]][weapon["displayName"]] = (color(skin["displayName"], fore=rgb_color))

Otherwhise you could think about cutting it even further- Sentinels of Light = SOL Gravitational Uranium Neuroblaster = GUN Radiant Entertainment System = RES

Putting this on hold whilst the team discuss this. There are a couple changes made here which I'm not sure about.

Firstly the matter of config, we need to make sure users' inputs for the weapon(s) is a smooth process. Secondly, I'm hesistant to employ abbreviations, it is not something I want to put pressure on us to maintain nor do I want to push us for more often releases just to update this list; I'm sure an argument could be made for the app to request a list of abbreviations from our repo instead of us re-releasing copies of the app, but that's not something I feel particularly strong for either.

This will be a good PR, we just need to consider other approaches for implementing this.

I believe, that just seperating them with a comma is quite a smooth process, especially if there are 2 weapons defaulted.

Secondly, I'm hesistant to employ abbreviations

I compleatly understand your position here, I just thought that "Gravitational Uranium Neuroblaster Operator" is quite a long name for a columne, which is why i would shorten some, or at least remove the weapon tag "Operator" at the end.

I appreciate to hear that :D

I personally disagree with this. Unofficial abbreviations would be very confusing for a lot of people.

I somewhat agree with that statement, but like I said: "Gravitational Uranium Neuroblaster Operator" is quite long for a columne and normally takes up multiple rows to be displayed. I sadly don't know any official abbreviations, which is why i just chose some "random" - Prelude to Chaos is normally just called "Chaos Vandal"... not PtC
