This should be a list of all the various types of configs found throughout ArmA. It also contains tutorials, if they exist, for creating your own configuration files.

It is recommended to look over Class Inheritance, as it provides an overview of how configs work, especially in regards to inheritance.

There is also a huge list of explained configs here, which is unofficial but very useful.

still grabbing stuff from (Category:Arma 3: Editing) (it doesnt let me link directly)
