Introduction

cfgAmmo, cfgMagazines, cfgWeapons and cfgVehicles are root classes defined in the engine's config.bin.

These classes can be subsequently added to by addons inherit in the game or provided by oem.

cfgAmmo defines the missile characteristics for ammunition held in a cfgMagazine which, in turn, is used by a cfgWeapon, which, in turn, is selected for use in a (series of) cfgVehicles.

The same ammunition can be, and generally is, used by multiple magazines. The same magazine, can be, and generally is, used by multiple weapons. And so on.

cfgWeapons define the rifle e.g. characteristics. What muzzles it has, how many 'modes' (if any) it can use. What magazines are selectable.

Arma Enhancement

ArmA introduced a new root class, cfgMagazines.

In contrast, OFP uses a rather tedious construct in it is cfgWeapons class to distinguish between weapon and magazine parameters.

The major alterations here are:

OFP ArmA
ammo= moved to cfgMagazines
cost= moved to cfgMagazines
displayNameMagazine= moved to cfgMagazines and renamed DisplayName (of course)
magazines[] = {"this"}; magazines[] = {};
magazineType= moved to cfgMagazines and renamed Type
maxLeadSpeed= moved to cfgMagazines
minRange= moved FROM cfgAmmo
minRangeProbab=
midRange=
midRangeProbab=
maxRange=
maxRangeProbab=
scopeWeapon= renamed scope
scopeMagazine= moved to cfgMagazines and renamed scope
shortNameMagazine= moved to cfgMagazines and renamed descriptionShort?

Modifications

cfgWeapons {
	access = 1;
	...

	//Weapon classes can be added.

	default {
		access = 3;
	}
	...
}

Existing classes can (rarely) be altered.

The default class of cfgWeapons specifies access = 3;. Almost all subsequent classes inherit this value, which means they cannot be altered in any way.

To allow YOUR addon to subsequently modify YOUR weapon (should you wish to with other addons), you must change the access= in YOUR Weapon.

Navigation: The wood for the trees

cfgWeapons can be a puzzling mess to the uninitiated.

The tokenpairs, their placement, and their constructs can be befuddled. This is not a reflection on BI, the ultimate class structure is very, very, adaptive, but, it does confuse.

Essentially, ArmA did open heart, and excellent, surgery to this class to distinguish between weapons and their magazines. OFP had a common weapon/magazine class with variables declaring what to use and when. Variables only relevant to OFP, are sometimes still encountered in ArmA, simply because, they do no harm.

Weapons come in two major flavors (with plenty of sub themes). A weapon either has, or does not have, a modes[] class or classes adding different behaviour like autofire, burst or single shot. Confusingly, a weapon with only one mode, is, equivalent to not declaring it at all. The tokens that would normally be in a modes class, are declared in the main body instead. This obfuscates what-goes-where.

Weapons can have different muzzles, adding a further layer of modelling.

The inherited tree structure for weapons vs their magazines, vs their ammo, is not always logical. This is a throwback to OFP which (for instance) inherited RPG Ammo from an AT3, but inherited the RPG weapon from a CarlGustav, and so on. The end result being identical and good, since offending parameters were altered as necessary - but it does confuse what a HellfireHind really is, depending on who you are (ammo vs mag vs weapon).

Modes

Some TokenNames are relevant only within a mode class (e.g. sound[]=), and stated as such.

All weapons, without exception, have at least one mode class.

By default, the inherited mode for a weapon is: 

modes[] = {"this"};

Which means the engine will treat the main body as also being a mode class unless over-ridden.

Some weapons do not have a modes class specified, nor do they inherit a specified modes class via their parent(s). Under these circumstances, TokenNames stated to be ModeClass only must occur in the main body of that weapon (or it is parents) instead. The TokenNames themselves, remain, accurately described, as being mode class only.

Muzzles

Exact same comments as per Modes. By default the inherited muzzle for a weapon is: 

muzzles[] = {"this"};

Parameters belonging in muzzles are stated as such.

Different muzzles are normally only encountered on grenade launcher weapons (?).

TokenNames

All engines accept integer values (or math strings) where a float would normally be expected.

Default values are shown in the legend.

Usage
OFP: generally moved to ArmA's cfgMagazines Class and often renamed, else simply renamed.
ArmA: Introduced from OFP:E and beyond.
ModesClass: Any item marked as a ModeClass lives in a class Mode... body. It must be declared (or inherited) for each class.
MuzzleClass: Any item marked as a MuzzleClass lives in a class Muzzle... body. It must be declared (or inherited) for each class. Normally, except for grenade launchers, the muzzle IS the mainbody.
Blank: Used as described in both OFP, and, ArmA.

Dual Use TokenNames (such as picture=) moved to ArmA's cfgMagazines Class as appropriate.

Picture="[\][.pac]"

Defines WEAPON Picture and separately MAGAZINE Picture. OFP generally created two cfgWeapon classes. One for the weapon and one for the magazine. picture= was declared in each. In ArmA, the magazine picture name has been moved to the cfgMagazines class as appropriate.

Note that this is one of those irritating BI path snafu's (when if ever will they start using relative addressing?). The following notes apply to most picture= references, not just cfgWeapons.

  1. The DEFAULT extension is .pac. The engine accepts .pac or .paa, but .pac is not supposed to exist. A .paa must be explicitly declared.
  2. Path must explicitly have a \ leading.

This because in OFP it was possible to not declare any picture at all.

In which case (in OFP) the engine looks for the .paa file in \dta\dtaext\NameOfClass.paa

The ArmA engine appears to make a mess of it. Any picture reference without a preceding slash will look in a non-existent 'equip.pbo'

Specifically: 

equip\w\w_your\path\name	// for weapons and
equip\m\m_your\path\name	// for mags

If no picture is specified, then like OFP, equip\w\w_NameOfClass is assumed.

Note also the 'convention' of naming weapon images with w_ and magazine images with m_ (and to a certain extent having data\equip file paths). This is rigidly followed in ArmA. In OFP, BI were inconsistent.

Types

weaponType=WeaponHardMounted (OfpOnly)

Integers (Note this value is often held as a math String)

Gear (equipment) selection consists of SlotTypes and one or more slot positions of that type.

This integer is a bit-field containing SlotType and count which defines which SlotType this item will occupy in gear selection and how many slots of that type it requires. It does NOT define which slot position to occupy, only the Type of Slot. Various engines will show this item in positions of their own choosing.

An item is defined as being a weapon, magazine, or equipment.
  • A weapon is rifle, handgun, LAW launcher.
  • A magazine is a magazine, a shell ,a LAW, a PipeBomb, a grenade - i.e. a housing for the cfgAmmo explosive(s).
  • equipment are binoculars, NVG, etc.

For ArmA, MagazineSlots and WeaponSlots are mutually exclusive. The classes occur in the cfgWeapons or cfgMagazines respectively. In OFP both types of class exist in cfgWeapons, and are often the same class. OFP does not have a Type=; instead, it uses WeaponType= and MagazineType= couplets. The end result, and the intent, is identical.

⚠
Note: the quite serious alteration to SecondaryWeapon and Handgun mags that occurred in Arma. This to allow for an increased count field in Handgun Magazines.
Slot: SlotType value/nbits Example
OFP Arma
Either: NoSlot 0/0 same stroke is a weapon, but it occupies no slots
Weapon: PrimaryWeapon 1/1 same AK47
Weapon: HandGun 2/1 same CZ75
Weapon: SecondaryWeapon 16/1 4/1 LAW
Mag: HandGunMagazines 32/3 16/4 CZ75Mag or GLMag
Mag: MainMagazines 256/4 same AK47Mag or explosives
Weapon: BinocularSlot 4096/4 same Binoculars or NVG, LD etc.
Weapon: HardMounted 65536/1 same
Mag: SmallItems 131072/4 (Arma 2) map, compass, small items (derived from ItemCore)

The specific combination for machine guns normally occupy both weapon slots i.e. PrimaryWeapon + SecondaryWeapon.

Magazine Sizes

Architecturally, all bit-fields are counts. The fact that a PrimaryWeapon can only be 1, still makes it a count of that SlotType.

In practical terms magazines are the only item (warning: currently) to have bit-fields > 1.

Most weapons use a single slot to declare a single magazine.

Shell weapons such as the RPG require three slots to hold the magazine. OFP presented this by filling those slots with the image. Arma makes a mess of it with a somewhat ugly blank between slots. You are supposed to guess why it is blank.

No handgun magazine (currently) has a size > 1. This could change on e.g. a remote controlled explosive. The bit-field is larger for reasons explained in Joining the dots (below).

For MainWeapon Magazines, specific bit-field identities between 256 and 4096 are frequently represented textually as: 

"1 * 256" // main mags
"2 * 256" // m60,pk,mortars
"3 * 256" // law , rpg
"4 * 256" // 6g30 4 slots needed
"6 * 256" // carlgustav,stinger 6 slots needed
"8 * 256" // mm1 all slots needed

And, of course, in Arma, these fields are only relevant in it is CfgWeapons.

CfgVehicles: Joining the dots

A vehicle, in this case a human or parachute, has it is equipment slots defined in it is cfgVehicles Class. The Weaponslots= bit-field declares whether or not a piece of equipment can be carried at all, and if so, how much, or max size of that equipment, measured in slots.

cfgVehicles.Weaponslots= is deceptively similar to cfgWeapons.Type= (and vice versa). Weaponslots= defines the carrying capacity for equipment, type= defines the size of that equipment.

Different humans have more or fewer slots than others. Clearly, medics, police, civilians and some resistance fighters, cannot carry heavy armament. They're either not trained to, or, they're already implicitly carrying medical packs. The disastrous ArmA completely destroyed this distinction. Arma 2 enhances the distinction a little more than OFP.

A generalised capacity declaration for humans is:

weaponSlots=
PrimaryWeapon+ Can carry a Primary Weapon
SecondaryWeapon+ Sometimes able to carry a Secondary or even heavier Weapon (LAW, MG, stinger)
(4+6)*MainMagazines+ Can carry n*Magazines for these weapons (AK47Mag) (or max size of shell)
HandGun+ Can carry a Handgun (e.g. Beretta)
2*WeaponSlotBinocular+ Can carry n*slots of equipment
4*HandGunMagazines+ Can carry n*Handgun Magazines (CZ75Mag)
12*SmallItems can carry n*slots of SmallItems (Arma 2)

These will later be filled out with specific weapons in the human's weapons[]= and magazines[]= arrays. Placing too many causes a ctdClarify.

Note that specific Arma 2 women can only carry magazines and small equipment (for their boyfriends?) and nothing else.

Magazine carrying ability altered markedly for Arma 2 vs OFP; it is the reason for the nasty change to the bit-field, and is as follows:

OFP Arma
Rifle Potential 15 15
Actual 4 to 10 2 to 12
Handgun Potential 7 15
Actual 4 4 or 8
Binoculars 1 or 2 0 to 2

canDrop is poorly implemented. It is normally associated with true vehicles such as air. For humans nothing in the GUI panel suggests that you can't drop a weapon, and yet, hidden-from-view, the drop action has no effect. canDrop should have also been implemented in cfgMagazines, but isn't. You can always drop the magazine, and yet, for some weapons, such as a laser designator, this is nonsensical.
