The Splendid Config Viewer™ is a way to access the contents of the game's current config.
Interface
Classes List
On the left hand side you can find a list of all config classes that are currently loaded by the game. This includes the classes found in the main config from the base game and mods, the campaign's config and the missions's config. Selecting an entry from the list will show the attributes of the class in the right window. A plus to the left of the class indicates that it contains more subclasses. To expand it you can double click the entry. The classes are sorted alphabetically. Be aware that the list list cut off at the end. In case of long configs the last config entries can only be selected by selecting the last visible entry and then using the arrow keys to scroll further down.
Bookmarks
Below the Classes List you can find your bookmarked configs. Double clicking on "<Bookmark selected class>" will add the currently selected entry to the list. To remove a bookmark you can select it and press DELETE on your keyboard. Double clicking on a bookmarked class will take you to the config.
Attributes List
The right window displays the attributes of the currently selected class. The attributes are sorted alphabetically. The attributes are colored according to the data type of the attribute:
| Color | Data Type |
|---|---|

Some attributes are indented a bit which means that those attribute have been inherited from one of the parent classes. No indentation means that the attribute is specific or new to the config class.
