Editing the mission.sqm

[nominesine 0]

I always wanted to know: What is the difference between addons listed under the paragraph:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">addOns[]=

and

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">addOnsAuto[]=

in the mission.sqm?

I know it's a list of required addOns for the mission, but why is it repeated? And why are there more addOns in the first part than the second?!?

This is a quote from a mission I'm making:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

class Mission

{

   addOns[]=

   {

      "RFJ_mercs",

      "BAS_OPFOR",

      "bis_resistance",

      "bas_o",

      "jam_magazines"

   };

   addOnsAuto[]=

   {

      "RFJ_mercs",

      "BAS_OPFOR",

      "bas_o"

   };

Why do the jam and bis addons show up under the first category but not in the second one?

Never mind. I found the answer to the question with a little help from Ofpec.

addOns are required because they are placed on the map when building the mission. addOnsAuto are addOns that the above mentioned unit requires, but who aren´t placed in the editor (JAM weapons for BAS units, etc etc).
