Basics

A config decides parameters and properties of most aspects of the gameworld and it is contents.
A config is used for defining, inheriting and overwriting classes.


Available Root Classes

  • CfgPatches
  • CfgModels
  • CfgSkeletons
  • CfgAmmo
  • CfgWeapons
  • CfgMagazines
  • CfgVehicles
  • CfgMaterials
  • CfgTextureToMaterial
  • CfgWorlds (Islands)

Inheritance

If you create a custom addon, and you want to base your thing on something that already exists and does not need to be redefined, you can use the following example: (test2 will be equal to test1 in this example) class test1; class test2 : test1 {};

You can inherit from other classes, e.g in this example, class test2 is equal to test1: class test1 { val1 = 1; val2 = 2; val3 = 0; }; class test2 : test1 {};

in this example, test2 inherits all variables and values of test1, but changes val2 and adds a val4: class test1 { val1 = 1; val2 = 2; val3 = 0; }; class test2 : test1 { val2 = 3; val4 = 1; };

Overwriting

You can overwrite or override specific sections of other configs (Default ArmA, or addon configs etc)
Important is that you specify the addon which you overwrite/override, aswell as the addons it needs loaded, in the requiredAddons list within cfgPatches

Config Examples

Weapon Sound Override Config

This example shows how to use override M4/M16 sounds by RobertHammer's

// Replaces M4/M16 Sounds by RobertHammer's M4/M16 Sounds
class CfgPatches
{
	class SIX_rh_m4_soundpack
	{
		units[] = {};
		weapons[] = {};
		requiredVersion = 1.00;
		requiredAddons[] = {"CAWeapons","CAWeapons3","RH_M4"}; // CAWeapons/CAWeapons3 because those are the ones we override.  RH_M4 because thats the addon the sounds are used from
	};
};

// Inheriting the different firemode classes, so we can use them later on
class Mode_SemiAuto;
class Mode_Burst;
class Mode_FullAuto;

class CfgWeapons
{
	class Rifle; // We do not need to define the class rifle here, only inherit
	class M4 : Rifle // We redefine the M4 class here because want to override certain properties
	{
		reloadMagazineSound[] = {"\RH_m4\sound\M4_Reload.ogg", 0.001, 1};
		class Single : Mode_SemiAuto
		{
			sound[] = {"\RH_m4\sound\m4s.ogg", 5.62341, 1};
		};
		class Burst : Mode_Burst
		{
			sound[] = {"\RH_m4\sound\m4s.ogg", 5.62341, 1};
		};
		class FullAuto : Mode_FullAuto
		{
			sound[] = {"\RH_m4\sound\m4s.ogg", 5.62341, 1};
		};
	};

	class M4A1SD : M4AIM
	{
		class Single : Mode_SemiAuto
		{
			sound[] = {"\RH_m4\sound\m4sd.ogg", 0.01, 1};
		};
		class FullAuto : Mode_FullAuto
		{
			sound[] = {"\RH_m4\sound\m4sd.ogg", 0.014125, 1};
		};
	};

	class M16A2 : Rifle
	{
		class Single : Mode_SemiAuto
		{
			sound[] = {"\RH_m4\sound\m16s.ogg", 5.62341, 1};
		};
		class Burst : Mode_Burst
		{
			sound[] = {"\RH_m4\sound\m16s.ogg", 5.62341, 1};
		};
	};
	
	class m16a4 : M16A2
	{
		class Single : Mode_SemiAuto
		{
			sound[] = {"\RH_m4\sound\m16s.ogg", 5.62341, 1};
		};
		class Burst : Mode_Burst
		{
			sound[] = {"\RH_m4\sound\m16s.ogg", 5.62341, 1};
		};
	};
	
	class m16a4_acg : M16A2
	{
		class Single : Mode_SemiAuto
		{
			sound[] = {"\RH_m4\sound\m16s.ogg", 5.62341, 1};
		};
		class Burst : Mode_Burst
		{
			sound[] = {"\RH_m4\sound\m16s.ogg", 5.62341, 1};
		};
	};
};



Weapon Model and Picture Override

This example shows how models and some pictures are replaced by some of the best custom weapons out there

// Replaces Many Models by some of the best custom weapons out there
class CfgPatches

	};
