Well, I have been updating that collection from 2020, there is probably many things that are a bit off in here still though. One issue is that I introduced an alternative way to annotate g-to-g, since the fact that the initial position is meaningless, as one can move and flip the input glider, and that would change the name of the reflector unit. Basically, I just labeled these as "CC" "CP" for 90 degree reflectors, "SH" from shifts, and "RT" for 180 degrees reflectors, the delay number one gets for CC and CP match what one would get if the glider towards NE (but not SW), and SH matches what SE would give too, but only if the glider got shifted toward the East. The reason that value makes more sense, is that if you were to enqueue multiple CC/CP reflector, bouncing NE->SE->NE ..., with the occasional shifts, the "horizontal delay" simply adds up.
In theory, the RT only cares about some delay value that is modulo 8, but I kept some things slightly like the previous annotation, but it is not set in stone, the only issue is that a glider that returns exactly on the same lane gets a shift of 1, using the current naming scheme, so at least that should be resolved for clarity sake...
In any case, if your favorite pattern is missing, feel free to PM me, but I think only patterns that can be combined to have both valid input and outputs should be included. But I attached the file I currently have, so if you insist on having some dubious pattern included, you can just add them yourself, hopefully the additions here would be useful to get to update the antiquated collection.
