EDEN All-In-One Config Dumps

Defunkt · April 13, 2008

I generated some all-in-one dumps of the config tree for the new Eden update.

NeoArmageddon, who provided a workaround for a recent breakage in the script to generate these via his MapBuilder FileIO extension (Thanks!), suggested I should post them up;

http://ionwerks.net/arma/arma3-eden-allinoneconfigs.7z

There are four dumps;

Vanilla Only: arma3-156.134627.aio.cpp

w. CUP Terrains: arma3-156.134627_cup-1.0.1.aio.cpp

w. RHS Escalation: arma3-156.134627_rhs-0.4.0.1.aio.cpp

w. CUP & RHS: arma3-156.134627_cup-1.0.1_rhs-0.4.0.1.aio.cpp

Very nice. Can finally update my outdated allInOne config. Espwcially the CUP TP dump will come in handy when fixing bugs.

ravenleg · February 19, 2015

This is fantastic!! Please keep them coming (with both CUP and RHS).

What are these for? What can you do with them?

Kerc Kasha · May 2, 2011

any chance you can post the updated script?

Actually it turns out (after chatting to kju) that the breakage I encountered was a bug in the initial EDEN release which has subsequently been fixed so there's no need for the amendment (though I haven't actually confirmed this for myself yet).

Original script by Denis Usenko (found on OFPEC IIRC) below (sorry I can't seem to find a spoiler tag);

======================================================================================

Dump config to the clipboard:

    [config HNDL, bool IncludeInheritedPropertiesFlag] call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "dumpConfig.sqf"

This example put section CfgVehicles on the clipboard:

    [configFile >> "CfgVehicles"] call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "dumpConfig.sqf"

This example will put on the clipboard class "RscDisplayArcadeUnit", all classes will contain all heritable properties, so you get a full and self-sufficient class, independent from the other classes.

    [configFile >> "RscDisplayArcadeUnit", true] call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "dumpConfig.sqf"

More examples:

    [configFile >> "RscTitle", true] call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "dumpConfig.sqf"
    [configFile >> "RscEdit", true] call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "dumpConfig.sqf"
    [configFile >> "RscToolbox", true] call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "dumpConfig.sqf"

Warning: don't attempt to get a large classes with switched on parameter "IncludeInheritedPropertiesFlag", eg don't do so:

    [configFile, true] call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "dumpConfig.sqf"

Dump the entire config, it can take over ten seconds:

    [configFile] call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "dumpConfig.sqf"

one issue i'm getting with that script is the max array size can be reached in larger modsets when doing a full config dump

Defunkt · April 13, 2008

Oh right, well try the amendment, rather than copying it all to the clipboard it writes to file as it goes via Neo's mapbuilder File IO extension;

These are an essential and helpful tool for addon and mod makers making addons using content derived from these sources.

I have no idea what you mean here. I'm making a mod and have no clue what they are, so they cannot be essential. "Vanilla Only" is the one that interests me. Can using it improve my mod somehow; what is it?

When you want to know how something works in ArmA3, you open the AllInOne config with your favorite texteditor, hit CTRL+F and search for the class you want to examine.

That basically saves you from hours and hours of trial and error and/or unpacking all ArmA3 pbos and checking every config.cpp one by one.

Thank you. I can see how that will save a lot of effort.

ravenleg · February 19, 2015

Thank you. I can see how that will save a lot of effort.

The configs are class definitions that define the information that the game engine needs to know in order to handle instantiating each object in the game world. They define which 3D model(s) and sound file(s) an object uses, what speeds vehicles can travel at, how quickly they consume fuel, the max weight a helicopter can slingload, what weapons they carry, what magazines a given weapon accepts, etc., etc.

By examining these class properties you can mine information out of the game. I have zero idea how to make a mod, but I use configs extensively as a type of database to fill in the giant lack of documentation that exists about most game objects. Bohemia has this page (https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_CfgVehicles_WEST) to tell you a few things about BLUFOR units (like class name, side, faction, and the weapons, magazines, and items that it contains), but if you wanted to know more about the basic Rifleman (B_Soldier_F), you could find it in the config viewer (or in a website dump, like here: https://configs.arma3.ru/155.133137/configfile/CfgVehicles/B_Soldier_F.html), or in the files above, to find out things like "attendant = 0; engineer = 0; uavHacker = 0;" to know that Rifleman can't fully heal other units, repair vehicles, or control UAVs. So for instance, you can use config data to generate a database that tells you how many seats each vehicles in the game has (how many total, how many crew spots, how many passenger spots, and of the passenger spots, how many support firing from vehicles). To learn how that's done, see my post here: https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/189522-how-to-find-vehicle-cargopassengerffv-seat-capacity/?p=3002357

Arma has a built in Config Viewer (more about that here: http://arma3scriptingtutorials.blogspot.com/2014/02/config-viewer-what-is-it-and-how-to-use.html and here: https://youtu.be/lM7IHPun3eE), but it's not searchable and isn't the greatest tool. So what these config dumps here are are text files containing the same information, but since it's a text file you can open it in something like Notepad++ and search it far, far more easily to get at the data you want.

Jastreb · May 15, 2012

Good stuff. I needed this badly.

Can we get Armaholic or similar sites to mirror these under tools or misc? Thanks.

PS: Thanks for the script too.

PPS: +1 to sticky this

Edit: Looks like someone updated these on DH its available there in the repo.

ravenleg · February 19, 2015

Would you mind posting an updated dump with the new CUP versions? They released a fairly large update recently.

Defunkt · April 13, 2008

The only CUP package that was in the configs I posted was Terrains which hasn't been updated AFAIK. I don't actually have the others. Everything you need to create your own config dumps is here.

I'm told the first version of the script (above) should work now but it still doesn't for me. If you want to try yourself, save it to your Arma root as dumpConfig.sqf and launch with -filePatching then in the console enter;

[configFile] call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "dumpConfig.sqf"

...after a few seconds your clipboard should contain the dump. Since EDEN I always get an error message about array size being exceeded.

Second version relies on the FileIO extension contained in MapBuilder (see Neo's sig) to write the output to file. Launch with -filePatching and MapBuilder loaded (or a mod folder containing just the mb_fileio.dll) and execute the same way. The dump should appear in a file called config_dump.txt - either in the Arma root or the DLL mod folder (sorry, I don't recall which).

ravenleg · February 19, 2015

Okay, thanks. Yeah, I think I misread CUP Terrains as being CUP in general. I'll give it a try and if I can get it to work I'll post a link here.

Jastreb · May 15, 2012

Anyone interested 1.58 dump here.

Used Map Builder dll only in A3 root and the rest as per instructions. Works OK.

PS: Someone verify if its complete?

ravenleg · February 19, 2015

Did the same with the following mods (game version 1.58.135656):

RHS USF (v 0.4.0.1)
RHS AFRF (v 0.4.0.1)
CBA_A3 (v 2.3.1)
CUP Units (v 1.3.1)
CUP Weapons (v 1.6)
CUP Vehicles (v 1.3)
CUP Terrains Core (v 1.0.1)
CUP Terrains Maps (v 1.0.1)

I extracted full config for Arma 3 Apex 1.62 with all DLCs - no mods apart from MapBuiled, profiling branch. Thanks for the script authors, its very usefull.

7z seems to compress the config very well, here it is just 1.5 MB - https://mega.nz/#!eFsj2BpL!iYbGFfh0m-hwcBzkw0-frAQ6aR1tH9JXn2GNHNbUK5M

I've noticed that the script has been broken by a recent update.

Line 72 -

for "" from 1 to ceil(log2(count _list)) do {
_size = count _list / 2;
_subsize = floor _size;
_oversize = ceil _size;

The error is - reserved variable in expression. Anyone know what the problem is?
