Assets Config Localization And Parameters Atlas

Assets, Config, Localization And Parameters Atlas

This page maps the mission-facing configuration and media layer: description.ext, Rsc/*.hpp, mission parameters, stringtable localization, sounds, music, textures and UI images. Check it before adding a mission parameter, sound, title resource, dialog image or localized string.

Entry Graph

Layer	Source	Runtime role
Mission root config	Missions/[55-2hc]warfarev2_073v48co.chernarus/description.ext:39-67	Includes version.sqf, sound/music configs and all Rsc UI/resource config files.
Loading screen	description.ext:64, Rsc/Titles.hpp:36	Uses loadScreen.jpg; the file exists in the source mission.
Disabled legacy include	description.ext:37	scripts\unitCaching\description.ext is commented and the scripts/unitCaching folder is absent.
Mission parameters	Rsc/Parameters.hpp:3, Common/Init/Init_Parameters.sqf:5-9	class Params entries are read in order and exported into missionNamespace under the class name. Multiplayer uses paramsArray; SP uses each class default.
Common constants fallback	Common/Init/Init_CommonConstants.sqf:93-100, :212-234, :290	Provides fallback values if a parameter/global is missing.
Stringtable	stringtable.xml	Real STR_WF_* localization package used by parameters, dialogs and messages.
Sound registry	Sounds/description.ext:2-159	Defines 26 CfgSounds classes and 26 tracked .ogg files in Sounds/.
Music registry	Music/description.ext:1-19	Defines wf_outro and cherna_intro, backed by two tracked .ogg files.
UI resources	Rsc/Ressources.hpp, Rsc/Dialogs.hpp, Rsc/Titles.hpp	Shared controls, dialog classes and title resources. Current source has 18 top-level dialog classes and 99 title classes.
Local media folders	Textures/, Client/Images/, Sounds/, Music/	Current source has 20 local texture .paa, 45 client image .paa, 26 sound .ogg and 2 music .ogg files.

Parameter Contract

Init_Parameters.sqf is intentionally generic: it iterates missionConfigFile >> "Params" and sets each config class name as a mission variable. The parameter class name is the public API. Renaming a class is a gameplay compatibility change, not just UI cleanup.

Parameter	Source	Current shape	Notes
WFBE_C_AI_DELEGATION	Rsc/Parameters.hpp:50-54	0/1/2, default 2	Hosted server path can force HC mode off in initJIPCompatible.sqf:168-169. Runtime consumers include client FPS delegation, town AI, static defense and disconnect cleanup.
WFBE_C_AI_TEAMS_ENABLED	Rsc/Parameters.hpp:74-78	0/1, default 0	AI teams are disabled by default in current mission parameters even though constants fallback defaults to enabled in Init_CommonConstants.sqf:94.
WFBE_C_STRUCTURES_CONSTRUCTION_MODE	Rsc/Parameters.hpp:122-126	only value 0	UI still has sold/instant affordances for mode 1 in GUI_Menu_Economy.sqf:149, but the parameter only exposes timed construction.
WFBE_C_ENVIRONMENT_WEATHER_VOLUMETRIC	Rsc/Parameters.hpp:210-214, Client/Init/Init_Client.sqf:218	only value 0	Comment says clouds are globally disabled for FPS/stutter; client init also forces the variable to 0.
WFBE_C_MODULE_BIS_PMC	Rsc/Parameters.hpp:222-227	hidden behind #ifndef VANILLA	Loadout/unit roots use it for PMC content gates, for example Common/Config/Core_Root/Root_TKGUE.sqf:99.
WFBE_C_GAMEPLAY_BOMBS_DISTANCE_RESTRICTION	Rsc/Parameters.hpp:290-294	distance list	Its title is the same string as bomb altitude ($STR_WF_PARAMETER_BombAltitude), but it drives distance restriction in Common/Functions/Common_HandleShootBombs.sqf:21.

Asset And Media Findings

Finding	Evidence	Impact
Missing airRaid sound class	Client/PVFunctions/NukeIncoming.sqf:7 plays airRaid, but Sounds/description.ext has no class airRaid.	Nuke incoming may fail to play its intended warning sound even though ICBM/radiation sounds are registered. Banach also found this PVF path is likely stale, so fix should follow the support/nuke owner decision.
Unused registered message sounds	Sounds/description.ext:24-39, :96-105; no source play/use found for ARTY_message_to_friendly_* or ICBM_message_to_*.	Likely abandoned voice/message audio or unused support/ICBM notification variants. Keep files until support-agent findings confirm removal is safe.
Missing local tactical menu icons	Rsc/Dialogs.hpp:2634-2821 references Client\Images\wf_*.paa; none of those local files exist.	Tactical/support menu buttons may show blank/missing icons unless these paths were intended to be generated/restored.
Missing local vehicle textures	Common/Functions/Common_AddVehicleTexture.sqf:19-72, :215-217; Server/Init/Init_Server.sqf:323-325.	Several relative Textures/*.paa overlays are absent, including AAV/LAV/BMP3/BTR/Tunguska/T-90 desert paths. Engine-absolute \ca\... paths are not flagged.
loadScreen.jpg is live and present	description.ext:64, Rsc/Titles.hpp:36; loadScreen.jpg exists.	Do not remove the file as "unused"; it is used by both config and title resources.
Commented unit caching include is stale	description.ext:37; no scripts/unitCaching folder.	Treat as abandoned scaffold, not an available optimization switch.

Safe Edit Rules

• Add new server/admin-facing settings as class Params entries only after choosing a stable WFBE_* variable name. Init_Parameters.sqf:5-9 exports class names directly.
• Keep values[], texts[] and default aligned. A single-value parameter is a deliberate locked switch and should be documented when left that way.
• When adding sounds, update both the .ogg file and Sounds/description.ext, then grep for playSound/say to verify the class name matches exactly.
• When adding UI images, verify every relative path exists in the source mission before propagation.
• Do not convert engine-absolute paths such as \ca\ui\data\... into local files unless there is a clear portability reason.
• Source mission edits must start in Missions/[55-2hc]warfarev2_073v48co.chernarus; generated Vanilla/Takistan changes come through LoadoutManager.

Backlog Seeds

1. Add or replace the missing airRaid CfgSounds class used by NukeIncoming.sqf, or retire the stale PVF path if support/nuke owners confirm it is dead.
2. Decide whether missing Client\Images\wf_*.paa tactical icons are intended absent art, stale dialog references or files lost during repo history.
3. Audit missing local vehicle texture references before changing texture behavior; many entries may be old livery leftovers.
4. Rename or retitle WFBE_C_GAMEPLAY_BOMBS_DISTANCE_RESTRICTION UI text so it does not present as bomb altitude.
5. Either remove the commented unit-caching include from docs/mental model or restore the folder as a real optimization feature.
