Introduction

TokenName 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 , description.ext and mission.sqm. The primary focus of this document is the TokenNames used for various aspects of controlling models within Addons. Description.ext and mission.sqm are included because many of the 'tokens' are common to all.

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


A

...Action

String

 commanderAction = "ManActTestDriver";
 driverAction = "ManActTestDriver";
 gunnerAction = "ManActAH1Gunner";

cargoAction

Variable String Array:

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.

...InAction

String

 commanderInAction = "ManActTestDriver"; 
 driverInAction = "ManActTestDriver";
 gunnerInAction = "ManActTestDriver";

...AngleX

Integer Degrees

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

...AngleY

Integer Degrees

  initAngleY = 0;
  minAngleY = -30;
  maxAngleY = 30;

initCargoAngleY

Integer Degrees

 initCargoAngleY = 185;

access

Integer: Determines the manipulability of the class.

access=1;
0 ReadAndWrite additional values can be added
1 ReadAndCreate only adding new class members is allowed
2 ReadOnly no modifications enabled
3 ReadOnlyVerified no modifications enabled, CRC test applied

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

accuracy

Float: 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
 accuracy = 0.9;//truck
 accuracy = 3.500000;//sniper
 accuracy = 1.500000;//lawsoldier
 accuracy = 1000;//soldier // identify (most) solders as 'man'

displayName

String: Selects object uniquely in the Mission Editor, and separately, is used to identify object in game according to #accuracy. For instance when pointing your men to an object while in a mission, it is this displayName that is used.

It is good practice to use a stringtable.csv that should accompany your addon so that

  1. All names and labels are in one place instead of hunting for them.
  2. For language differences
displayName = "$STR_DN_AH1Z";

Note, that will careful crafting of classes, different colored 'rocks' can all be called the same displayName (rock) in the mission itself. See #scope and #accuracy for details.

See #nameSound for definition of what is actually 'said'

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

The actual descriptive text accompanying the 'sound' can be different see #displayName

Typically, a collection of buildings (eg) will be configured as follows

class GenBuilding : NonStrategic
{
  scope=private; // internal use only
  VehicleClass="Some Editor Group Name";
  namesound="house";
};
class YellowBuilding: GenBuilding

String:

S

scope

Intger:

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 within the same config cpp can access, or 'inherit' this class.

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
  ...
};

threat

Array: how threatening you are to unit types {Soft, Armor, Air}, respectively values range between 0 and 1 thus a Law Soldier would appear as {1,.9,.3} ie not very threatening to aircraft

The ai for this model selects targets of opportunity, based on these values.

to make the game 'interesting', similar vehicles on different sides, can carry non equivalent numbers.

transportVehiclesCount

transportVehiclesMass

type

Integer: this indicates the threat type of the 'vehicle'.

In well written configs, the 3 possible values are declared as defines at top of file for legibility

#define VSoft 0
#define VArmor 1
#define VAir 2
 type = VAir;

Tanks and buildings are armoured, humans are 'soft' and aircraft (obviously) are air
