Introduction

TokenName Config.cpp Reference

Simply put, Token Name & Value pairs are as follows

SomeName = SomeValue;

Token Names are used extensively throughout ofp 'text' files.

This article details the token-names available in Config.cpp. Their meaning in most cases will be the same or similar for description.ext and mission.sqm. However the primary focus of this document is the TokenNames used for various aspects of controlling models within Addons.

For instance, when creating a model using class statements inside a Config.cpp, to access it later, via the mission editor

scope=2;

This article lists token names, their value ranges, and their type.

Where not specifcally specified, the 'useage'of the token name is within Config.cpp, class CfgVehicles.

Legend:

Integer: A signed value that will be held in 4 bytes.

Boolean: An Integer value of 0 or 1. This is a 'convenience type' in humanly readable text. The engine stores it as an integer.

String: Any string value. ALL STRINGS MUST BE ENCLOSED IN QUOTES for Elite. These strings are misinterpreted as #defines otherwise.

Array: An array []={...}

float Array: An array of floats only string Arrray: should be obvious integer Array: ditto Complex Array: A mixture of multiple types, includig embedded arrays.

Variable Array: the number of elements for this array in this class model can have a varying number of elements (depending on context)

Notes: For Models and other items using p3d files, the .p3d extension is not reguired. Similar comment for pac/paa files, and wss (sound) files where appropriate

Vehicle vs 'Vehicle'

In this document. a vehicle, is a true vehicle of some kind. Be it a tank, or a car.

A 'vehicle' on the other hand covers cfgVehicles as defined in a config.cpp which would include men' and buildings, since ofp considers them all to be 'vehicles'

A

...Action

String : defaults ManActCargo

 commanderAction =   "ManActM60CommanderOut";
 driverAction =      "ManActShipDriver";
 gunnerAction =      "ManActJeepGunner";
 commanderInAction = "ManActTestDriver"; 
 driverInAction =    "ManActM113Driver";
 gunnerInAction =    "ManActM1A1Gunner";
 getInAction =        ManActGetInTank;   //default
 getOutAction =       ManActGetOutTank;  //default

cargoAction

Variable String Array: default {ManActCargo}

cargoAction[] = {"ManActM113Medic","ManActM113Medic","ManActM113Injured"};

Note that unlike driverAction and gunnerAction this is an array. (for multiple positions)

The number of elements in this array correspond to the #transportSoldier value declared for this class.

see #cargoIsCoDriver

...AngleX/Y

Integer Degrees

  initAngleX = 0;
  minAngleX = -30;
  maxAngleX = 30;

access

Integer: Determines the manipulability of the class.

All BIS classes are ReadOnlyVerified and can only be inherited into a new class

accuracy

Float: Default value = 0.02.

Determines how easy an object is to identify. Smaller values are easier to detect.

Typically, buildings are 0.2, vehicles, 0.5

A value of 1000 causes the underlying class to be identified instead. Eg bushy trees, pink trees and yellow trees, can all be 'identified' as "trees". The description "bushy trees" is then used solely when Editing. See #VehicleClass

 accuracy = 0.2; // buildings
 accuracy = 0.5; //small vehicles

All names and labels are in one place instead of hunting for them.
For language differences

displayName = "$STR_DN_AH1Z";

mainRotorSpeed

new Integer:

mainRotorSpeed = -1;

backRotorSpeed

new Float backRotorSpeed = 1.0;

hmmm, that's curious, it accepts floats or ints.

mapSize

Float: Default Value = 10 (meters).

Used for the map editor to show the icon associated with this model class.

There is no x y component to this, the meaurement units are meters.

To creat a circular, rectangular or other 'non sqaure' image, you need to make a pac file for the icon with, a transparent layer.

 mapSize = 0.7; // small object such as a tree
 mapSize = 4; // a small'ish building

The Mission Editor map is not very good in this regard (as noted above). However, the main problem is the base classes of the engine. The mapSize= for most objects, particularly buildings, is a one shoe fits all. A forest, eg, is the same mapSize= as a tree !!!

Later Oem addons, *generally* are better and more specific in this regard, making position and fitting a little easier.

marker

Many different nameSounds can be selected. Here are just a few.

 nameSound = crew;
 nameSound = target; 
 nameSound = tank;

 predictTurnSimul = 1.2;//default
 predictTurnPlan = 1.2;//default
 predictTurnSimul = 3;// ship
 predictTurnPlan = 3;

scope

Integer: Default value = private.

scope = public;

Scope in concept is the same as the C++ reserved words of public, protected and private.

Defines normally exist at the top of a well written config.cpp to make meanings clearer.

#define private    0
#define protected  1
#define public     2

The meaning of each is as follows

private:

Only other classes inherit this class. It is not createVehicle'able, nor can the class be accessed via the Mission Editor.

private is a common method of grouping base characteristics together and inheriting all those common characteristics into a class that can be viewed or accessed.

public:

Any classes declared public are CamCreateabale, and selectable via the Editor.

protected:

Identical to public, except the class will not be listed in the mission editor. A very common form of use for this is

class vegetables
{
  scope=protected;
  VehicleClass="Vegetables.
  namesound= whatever;
  icon= "vegetableIcon.paa";
 ///   put any other common characteristics in here
};
class GreenOnions : vegetables
{
   scope = public;
   name="Green Onion;
}
class PurpleOnion : vegetables
{
   ....

The effect here is to reduce (considerably) not only the amount of typing, but memory storage too. It is only the public classes that are listed in the Mission Editor. So in above example while each one of these has a separate name=, they are ALL grouped' in the Editor's 'Vegetables'

In the above example, it is just as useful to declare the base class 'private. But, see below, and see #accuracy

Protected classes are CamCreatable in the mission.sqm.

Protected classes are immensely useful to 'hide' obsolete models that are still required to maintain compatibility with older missions. Ie older missions will still be playable, but newly created ones will only 'get at' the newer improvements specified in a public class. This

class OriginalThing
{
  scope=protected;
  ....
  // lots of original things
  ....
};
class ImprovedThing : OriginalThing //<<<< inherits it all
{
  scope=public;
  ...
  // lots of new improved things
  ...
};

SoundEnvironExt Class

  class SoundEnvironExt {

This is a Class used within the man class. Some/ None, or all sections of it can (of course) be over-ridden by inheritance.

The external class CfgManActions accesses the SoundEnvironExt class defined (or inherited) for any 'man' (soldier eg).

External class CfgManActions contains many clauses

 soundOverride=fallbody; // eg

for instances of when it wants sounds for that 'action' to take place.

thus, you can define none some or all arrays (within class with your SoundEnvironExt{}) for the following

  normalExt[] = 
  normal[] = 
  road[] =
  rock[] = 
  water[] =
  gravel[] = 
  sand[] =

side

Integer: Default Value: NEUTRAL.

The side, when declared, sets the 'vehicle' to east, west, resistance, civilian. The effect differs according to the 'vehicle' itself. Eg soldiers, versus hospitals or repair trucks that can only be used by same side, if specifically sided.

Well written missions (and configs) use defines at top of file to make this more legible.

#define NO_SIDE -1
#define EAST 0 // (Russian)
#define WEST 1 // (Nato)
#define RESISISTANCE 2 // Guerilla 
#define CIVILIAN 3
#define NEUTRAL 4
#define ENEMY 5
#define FRIENDLY 6
#define LOGIC 7
