BIS please: update BIWIKI with new OA config entries

[[frl]myke 14]

As the title say: BIWIKI needs urgently a update. Namely those parts:

cfgAmmo config reference

cfgWeapons config reference

cfgVehicles config reference

And if there are new scripting commands, this page aswell:

ArmA 2 scripting commands

These are mandatory to create proper working addons for OA.

Maybe a BIS internal guideline "every BIS developer has to spend one hour per week for updating BIWIKI". ;)

I agree ... a proper documentation is a true benefit for the game and its community. A lot of vital information is scattered through several forums and websites, sometimes containing errors. An information provided by the developer is the highest good one can get.

It's a wiki... you can do it yourself.

Well, you could go and depbo all of the OA content, look through all the configs and find all the new items, then just create stubs on the wiki. I mean most of them are pretty simple to figure out what they do too.

But yea, we need some official documentation for the things that aren't so obvious.

Check out the Six Config Browser.

Woah, that browser is awesome, thx for the heads up. :)

Aye, we can edit the BIWIKI which is pointless as long as we don't know what the knew settings do or what parameter are allowed. Just to pick one example:

weaponLockSystem = "16 + 1";

It is obvious that this belongs to the weapons lock (duh), probably defining what can be locked. But what the hell stand 16 for and what stands 1 for?

Yeah, we can figure it out ourselves and probably will...which takes way much longer than a developer would need to write it down since they are familiar with it.

I have patience, Master. :p

It's just frustrating when you can't finish your work just because you don't know what settings would fit.

Just kidding. :D
