Userconfig

A userconfig file is a interface which the user of a modification and the creator can use to "communicate". It is usually used to allow the user to change modification-specfic settings. These settings will then be available already during config parsing.

Location

The userconfig file is usually located in the Arma 3 root folder. Inside there it can also be placed in a special userconfig folder.

• C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3
• C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\userconfig

Example use-cases

Deleting entries from config (In this case in Eden Editor) which the user does not need.

• Config.cpp

class Mission
 {
   class Preferences
   {
     class AttributeCategories
     {
       #ifdef HIDE_ENH_INTERFACE
         delete ENH_Interface;
       #endif
//...

• userconfig.hpp

//Uncomment lines to remove them from Eden Editor
//Editor Preferences
//Make sure to reset the preferences to the default values first
//#define HIDE_ENH_DEBUGOPTIONS
//#define HIDE_ENH_DYNAMICVIEWDISTANCE
//#define HIDE_ENH_INTERFACE
