Introduction

cfgAmmo, cfgMagazines, cfgWeapons and cfgVehicles are root classes defined in the engine's config.bin

These classes can be subsequently added to by addons inherent in the game or provided by oem.

cfgAmmo defines the missile characteristics for ammunition held in a cfgMagazine which, in turn, is used by a cfgWeapon, which, in turn, is selected for use in a (series of) cfgVehicles.

The same ammunition can be, and generally is, used by multiple magazines. The same magazine, can be, and generally is, used by multiple weapons - and so on.

Default values are shown in the legend. They come from the derived class CA_Magazine rather than the true default{} since almost everything derives from this class.

Nearly all values are identical to their OFP equivalent.

Note that engines will accept integer values (or math strings) where a float would normally be expected.

TokenNames marked Arma were introduced from OFP:E and beyond.


Arma Enhancement

Arma introduced a new root class, cfgMagazines.

The magazines it declares are selected for use by specific cfgWeapons.

Any given magazine can (obviously) only hold a specific cfgAmmo class.

In contrast, OFP uses a rather tedious construct in it's cfgWeapons class to distinguish between weapon and magazine parameters.

The major alterations here are:

OFP Arma
ammo= moved to cfgMagazines
displayNameMagazine= moved to cfgMagazines and renamed DisplayName (of course)
magazines[] = {"this"}; magazines[] = {};
magazineType= moved to cfgMagazines and renamed Type
maxLeadSpeed= moved to cfgMagazines
scopeWeapon= renamed scope
scopeMagazine= moved to cfgMagazines and renamed scope
shortNameMagazine= moved to cfgMagazines and renamed descriptionShort?


Modifications

Unlike it's cfgAmmo and cfgWeapon cousins: all bets are off. There is, a default class (the substance of this document), but it, and all other classes in cfgMagazines are deletable/erasable/modifiable.

Caution should be exercised about 'expected' default values when inheriting. ANY added pbo can alter them substantially before your very eyes.

Warning
Unlike OFP, you cannot have the same cfgMagazines.ClassName
If you specify a rifle, and it's magazine with the same classname, the in-game gear selection dialog get's mightily confused. It's a noisy, awful display to begin with. Don't, make it worse.

maxLeadSpeed = 23;

Type
Integer


model="\ca\weapons\mag_univ[.p3d]"

Type
String
Description
The mag model. Identical to OFP.


modelSpecial="[.p3d]"

Type
String


N

nameSound="magazine"

Type
String


P

picture="[\][[.pac]"

Type
String
Description

Additional Values

Because just about anything can be added to these classes it is not overly useful to attempt to define most of them. For whatever reason, and unlike other root classes, the engine doesn't need these tokens declared in default{}.
