Ranged weapons STR bonus

Sed

I tried to google it but no confirmed sources.

What is the current setup for STR bonus for ranged weapons?

Darts - No STR bonus
Bows and Crossbows - No STR bonus
Throwing knifes - No STR bonus

Throwing Axes/Hammers - STR bonus
Slings - STR bonus

I'm not at home atm. so I can't try it out.

STR adds damage when using slings, throwing daggers, throwing axes and throwing hammers. The bug (with the incorrect implementing) was fixed in the 2.0 patch.

STR doesn't add anything to darts, bows and crossbows.

DEX adds to THAC0 when using all ranged weapons, including darts, bows, crossbows, slings, throwing daggers, throwing axes and throwing hammers.

This actually make some other choices for ranged viable if you have a high STR char with just 1 APR vs. Shortbow with 2 APR or Darts with 3 APR.

50/50.

As @bengoshi said

I believe the "Add Strength Bonus" flag makes the weapon add your Strength bonus to both THAC0 and Damage; the EE Damage Bonus and EE THAC0 Bonus flags add Strength to just Damage and just THAC0, respectively.
