Weapon/Ammo information

[TAW_Yonose 11]

Hello.

Where can i find information(codes) about each gun like, what mass does it have, how much damage and what effective range on the bullets?

[jshock 512]

In the configs for each weapon.

I suppose so, but in which pbo file and folder under Addons?

Might easier to use the Config Viewer in Editor.

Yes. The accepted ammo types each weapon can take are in the config under each gun

1.) Install PBO Manager to be able to open and unpack PBO files (ArmA game files).

2.) Download ArmAUnbin. With that you can open almost every .bin file in the ArmA 3 PBOs and even save them as .cpp files. These files are where you'll find what you're searching for.

The config viewer is Jesus.

configfile >> "CfgWeapons" >> "arifle_Katiba_F" >> "magazines"

configfile >> "CfgWeapons" >> "arifle_Katiba_F" >> "WeaponSlotsInfo" >> "CowsSlot" >> "compatibleItems"

configfile >> "CfgWeapons" >> "arifle_Katiba_F" >> "WeaponSlotsInfo" >> "MuzzleSlot" >> "compatibleItems"

configfile >> "CfgWeapons" >> "arifle_Katiba_F" >> "WeaponSlotsInfo" >> "PointerSlot" >> "compatibleItems"

This is also quite handy:

Alternately, you could write a little script that filters out exactly the information you want.

Don't expect too much though. It all comes down to the ammo-type.

However you'll only find information on the calibre, the muzzle velocity, air friction an some other details. You won't find information such as damage and effective range. That stuff all gets calculated by the engine.
