Magazine Names

[obrien979 4]

Is there a way to pull all the magazine classnames for every vehicle and weapon from the CFG file? I know that BIStudio has a listing on their Wiki page, but I am looking to do the same for the addons that I have.  

 

Thanks In Advance

Will this only read the CFG file for the vehicles on the screen or will it get info from all Vehicles in my asset browser?

It will return info on the vehicle you call it on.

Yeah that works for individual vehicles perfectly. 

 

However I am looking for a way to pull the same data from the CFG File for all vehicle classes or types (tanks, trucks, etc).

CFGMagazines in Config Viewer has everything.

Or you could place one of each relevant vehicle in an otherwise empty mission and run the following in the debug console:

_allMags = [];
{_magsArray = magazinesAllTurrets _x;
    {_mag = _x select 0;
        _allMags = (_allMags - [_mag]) + [_mag];
    } forEach _magsArray;
} forEach (allMissionObjects "All");
copyToClipboard str _allMags;

It will return an array of all magazines used by all editor-placed vehicles, with no duplicate entries, in your clipboard ready for pasting into your text editor.

 

I placed all of the RHS T-80 variants in a VR mission (plus a civilian for player unit) and it returned this:

["rhs_mag_3bm17_14","rhs_mag_3bk14_8","rhs_mag_3bm42_10","rhs_mag_3bk21_8","rhs_mag_3bm22_10","rhs_mag_9m112m_4","rhs_mag_3bm22_14","rhs_mag_3bk18m_8","rhs_mag_3d17_12","rhs_mag_dazzler","rhs_mag_smokegen","rhs_mag_3bm46_10","rhs_mag_3bk31_8","rhs_mag_3of26_6","rhs_mag_9m119_4","rhs_mag_762x54mm_250","rhs_mag_3d17","rhs_LaserFCSMag","rhs_mag_127x108mm_50"]

Obviously, you could change the vehicle class to look for certain types of vehicles only.

if you want the same list as in config viewer:

 

_arr= ((" getNumber (_x >> 'scope') == 2" configclasses (configfile >> "cfgmagazines")) apply {configname _x});
_arr sort true // alphabetical order

Very nice, thanks Pierre!

Thats great if I wanna look at each individual magazine type. I am looking for a way to pull the types of magazines that are Default loaded on vehicles from the start. Objective is to be able to quick reference a RHS or CUP vehicles loadout prior to placing on the map so That I can have an idea as to what firepower I have. 

 

Thanks

Then the method I posted will be what you want.

COuld it be modified to also pull the display name for the vehicle and display it with the magazine listing?

[Harzach 2517]

_allMags = [];
_sep = " ||| ";
{_magsArray = magazinesAllTurrets _x;
  _name = getText (configFile >> "cfgVehicles" >> typeOf _x >> "displayName");
  _allMags pushback _sep;
  _allMags pushback _name;
    {_mag = _x select 0;
      _allMags pushback _mag;
    } forEach _magsArray;
} forEach (allMissionObjects "LandVehicle");
copyToClipboard str _allMags;

I placed an Ifrit GMG, Ifrit HMG and Qilin (Armed) on the map. Output was:

[" ||| ","Ifrit GMG","SmokeLauncherMag","96Rnd_40mm_G_belt"," ||| ","Ifrit HMG","SmokeLauncherMag","200Rnd_127x99_mag_Tracer_Green","200Rnd_127x99_mag_Tracer_Green"," ||| ","Qilin (Armed)","500Rnd_65x39_Belt_Tracer_Green_Splash","500Rnd_65x39_Belt_Tracer_Green_Splash","500Rnd_65x39_Belt_Tracer_Green_Splash"]

For readability (maybe?) I added a separator before each new vehicle displayName. This version does not exclude duplicates in favor of showing exactly which magazines each vehicle holds.

[Harzach 2517]

And of course, this is just the kooky and convoluted method I arrived at. I'm sure there is a far more elegant way to do this.

This is perfect!! It works great and will do just what I need.  Thanks for your help

[Harzach 2517]

Also, if you want to limit the reported magazines for each vehicle to just the type and not the number, for example:

[" ||| ","Ifrit GMG","SmokeLauncherMag","96Rnd_40mm_G_belt"," ||| ","Ifrit HMG","SmokeLauncherMag","200Rnd_127x99_mag_Tracer_Green"," ||| ","Qilin (Armed)","500Rnd_65x39_Belt_Tracer_Green_Splash"]

you can replace "pushBack" in line 8 with "pushBackUnique":

_allMags = [];
_sep = " ||| ";
{_magsArray = magazinesAllTurrets _x;
  _name = getText (configFile >> "cfgVehicles" >> typeOf _x >> "displayName");
  _allMags pushBack _sep;
  _allMags pushBack _name;
    {_mag = _x select 0;
      _allMags pushBackUnique _mag;
    } forEach _magsArray;
} forEach (allMissionObjects "LandVehicle");
copyToClipboard str _allMags;
