Chernarus Map Content Reference

Chernarus Map Content Reference

Source-verified 2026-06-21 against then-current master cf2a6d6a4; current origin/master is 0139a346, so recheck cited paths before current-head claims. Paths relative to Missions/[55-2hc]warfarev2_073v48co.chernarus/ unless noted. Arma 2 OA 1.64.

Chernarus is the authoritative source mission — Takistan and all modded-terrain variants are generated from it by LoadoutManager. This page catalogs all Chernarus-specific content: map parameters, the 40 active towns with exact supply values, 3 airports, naval exclusives, faction indices, and start vehicle pools.

Mission Parameters

Parameter	Value	Source
World name	chernarus	Tools/LoadoutManager/Data/Terrains/Implementations/MainMap/CHERNARUS.cs:9 (inGameMapName); initJIPCompatible.sqf:28 logs it at runtime
Slot count (WF_MAXPLAYERS)	55	Tools/LoadoutManager/Data/Terrains/BaseTerrain.cs:162–163 (FOREST → 55)
Starting distance	7500 m	Tools/LoadoutManager/Data/Terrains/Implementations/MainMap/CHERNARUS.cs:7
Boundary radius	15360 m	Common/Init/Init_Boundaries.sqf:5
Terrain type	FOREST	Tools/LoadoutManager/Data/Terrains/Implementations/MainMap/CHERNARUS.cs:6
Terrain mod status	MAIN (not modded)	Tools/LoadoutManager/Data/Terrains/Implementations/MainMap/CHERNARUS.cs:8
IS_naval_map	true	initJIPCompatible.sqf:15–17; Tools/LoadoutManager/Data/Terrains/Implementations/MainMap/CHERNARUS.cs:10 (isNavalTerrain = true)
IS_chernarus_map_dependent	true	initJIPCompatible.sqf:114–116
Game type	CTI	Rsc/Header.hpp:19

The IS_NAVAL_MAP and IS_CHERNARUS_MAP_DEPENDENT preprocessor defines are emitted unconditionally (no // comment prefix) for Chernarus by LoadoutManager's version.sqf generator. IS_NAVAL_MAP is emitted when isNavalTerrain == true; IS_CHERNARUS_MAP_DEPENDENT is emitted when terrain type is not DESERT. Both are guarded by #ifdef in initJIPCompatible.sqf (lines 16, 115).

Chernarus Faction Indices

On Chernarus, IS_chernarus_map_dependent is true and the faction index assignments differ from Takistan. Set in Common/Init/Init_CommonConstants.sqf:1037–1039.

Side	Variable	Index	Faction array element	Faction
WEST	WFBE_C_UNITS_FACTION_WEST	2	WFBE_C_UNITS_FACTIONS_WEST[2]	USMC
EAST	WFBE_C_UNITS_FACTION_EAST	1	WFBE_C_UNITS_FACTIONS_EAST[1]	RU
GUER	WFBE_C_UNITS_FACTION_GUER	0	WFBE_C_UNITS_FACTIONS_GUER[0]	GUE

Faction arrays (WFBE_C_UNITS_FACTIONS_WEST, _EAST, _GUER) are set at Init_CommonConstants.sqf:403–405.

Supply helicopter types on Chernarus: ['MH60S','Mi17_Ins'] (WEST MH-60S, EAST Mi-17 Ins). Init_CommonConstants.sqf:734.

Airports (3)

Three LocationLogicAirport logic objects are placed in mission.sqm. Positions are [x, y, z] in Arma world coordinates.

Airport object (SQM id)	Position (x, z)	mission.sqm line
id=7	4550, 2280 (SW — Balota airstrip area)	mission.sqm:256–263
id=8	4479, 10618 (NW — Zeleno/Vybor airfield area)	mission.sqm:275–282
id=9	11812, 12623 (NE — Krasnostav airfield area)	mission.sqm:294–301

All three objects have init="this setVariable [\"wfbe_skip_auto_hangar\",true,true];this enableSimulation false;" — they set wfbe_skip_auto_hangar to true (broadcast globally) before disabling simulation.

---

Naval Content (Chernarus-Exclusive)

Boats are added to unit pools under two separate guards. The initial Zodiac and PBX entries are gated on IS_chernarus_map_dependent; the additional pool entries for both sides are gated on IS_naval_map. On Chernarus both flags are true, so all rows are active; on Takistan and modded terrains neither flag is set.

Class	Side	Condition	Source
Zodiac	WEST (USMC)	IS_chernarus_map_dependent	Common/Config/Core_Units/Units_CO_US.sqf:144
Zodiac	WEST (USMC) — additional pool entries	IS_naval_map	Units_CO_US.sqf:307, :335
PBX	EAST (RU)	IS_chernarus_map_dependent	Common/Config/Core_Units/Units_CO_RU.sqf:84
PBX	EAST (RU) — additional pool entries	IS_naval_map	Units_CO_RU.sqf:261–262, :291–292

Town Catalog — All 40 Active Towns

Init call signature: [logicObject, townName, dubbingName, startSV, maxSV, townValue, townTypeArray]

• startSV — Supply value awarded on capture.
• maxSV — Maximum supply value the town can hold/generate.
• townValue — Base income-related value (funds contribution).
• townType — Defense template(s); governs which composition spawns to defend the town. A single string means one template; an array means a pool to pick from.
• dubbingName — Localization alias used for audio/text. "+" means use townName directly.

The totalTowns counter is set to 46 on the TownMode logic object (mission.sqm:3332). There are 46 LocationLogicDepot objects with Init_Town.sqf calls: the 40 regular towns catalogued below, plus three airfield depot logics — NWAF (id=304, mission.sqm:4811), NEAF (id=305, mission.sqm:4845), and Balota (id=306, mission.sqm:4879). These airfield depots use townType ["PMCAirfield"] and dubbing name "++". Pogorevka, Kozlovka, and Orlovets appear in Towns_Removed* pool arrays but have no placed LocationLogicDepot and are not counted in totalTowns.

Note on Vyshnoye (row 19): the only town with a non-"+" dubbing name. The engine uses "Vyshnoe" for audio/text calls instead of the display name "Vyshnoye". mission.sqm:1624.

Town Supply-Value Summary by Category

Category	Town type(s)	Start SV range	Max SV range	Town value	Count
Huge	HugeTown1, HugeTown2	30	120–150	1000 (or 500 for StarySobor)	6
Large	LargeTown1, LargeTown2	20	80–100	500	6
Medium	MediumTown1, MediumTown2	10	50–65	250–300	7 (8 incl. Kabanino; see note)
Small	SmallTown1, SmallTown2	10	40–55	250–300	14
Tiny	TinyTown1 (± SmallTown)	10	30–45	100–250	6

Huge towns: Zelenogorsk, Chernogorsk, Elektrozavodsk, Stary Sobor, Berezino, Krasnostav. Stary Sobor differs — maxSV 150 but town value 500 (not 1000). mission.sqm:1916.

Medium count note: 7 towns have a type array of purely MediumTown1/2 (Komarovo, Nadezhdino, Guglovo, Novy Sobor, Vyshnoye, Polana, Dubrovka). Kabanino (mission.sqm:2149) carries a mixed type array MediumTown1, MediumTown2, SmallTown2 and is counted separately; including it yields 8 towns with at least one Medium type.

Town-Mode Pool Exclusion Lists

The TownMode logic object (mission.sqm:3265) defines Towns_Removed* arrays used at runtime to restrict which towns are eligible depending on the active town-mode setting. These are string names (matching _townName from Init_Town). Key lists:

Variable	Purpose
Towns_RemovedXSmall	Towns excluded in XSmall mode (only largest towns active)
Towns_RemovedSmall	Towns excluded in Small mode
Towns_RemovedMedium	Towns excluded in Medium mode
Towns_RemovedLarge	Towns excluded in Large mode
Towns_RemovedBigTowns	The 12 highest-value towns (Huge + top Large); excluded to create smaller-scale games
Towns_RemovedCentralLine	Towns along the central corridor; excluded for edge-biased games
Towns_RemovedSmallTowns	Small/tiny towns excluded for high-value-only games

Three names appear in these lists but have no Init_Town.sqf logic object: Pogorevka, Kozlovka, Orlovets. These are referenced in Towns_Removed* pool management but are not placed as active towns in the current mission and are not counted in totalTowns.
