Quick Custom Linear Weights

By Tangotiger, 09:23 AM

Following up on my post in this thread, I present a useful shortcut to coming up with custom Linear Weights using only OBP. You are encouraged to tweak the various shortcuts to come up with something better. Or to use this as a basis, to come up with your own shortcuts using SLG and BA as well.
