Arma 3: Sound: ExampleWeaponConfig

Example Weapon Config

CfgPatches

CfgPatches is the class that that gives your addon it is identity. More info in the CfgPatches page.

class CfgPatches
{
	class TAG_ThisIsMyAddon
	{
		units[] = {};
		weapons[] = {};
		requiredAddons[] = { "A3_Weapons_F", "A3_Sounds_F", "A3_Sounds_F_Mark", "A3_CargoPoses_F" };
		/*
			requiredAddons is important. It kind of answers the question "What addons do I load before loading this one?"
			If your addon will overwrite certain data from the original arma3 config (that is mostly the case
			with sound/asset REPLACEMENTS) you need to put the cfgPatches class here that contains the information that you are about to
			overwrite. For example most arma3 sounds are defined in a config that's cfgPatches class is "A3_Sounds_F". So if you want to
			overwrite data from there you need to put it into the requiredAddons array. If you want to change vehicle sounds, look in which
			cfgPatches they are configured and add that to requiredAddons.
