Function And Module Index

Function And Module Index

This page names the major function groups and what they are for. It is intentionally behavior-oriented so a developer or AI assistant can find the right file family quickly.

Unless a row names another ref, line refs below are from docs checkout docs/developer-wiki-index 1f0b9018 and the Chernarus source mission root Missions/[55-2hc]warfarev2_073v48co.chernarus/. Treat this page as a source-family route map, not the canonical patch-status matrix.

Common Function Families

• Common_Array*: array helpers used by older SQF code that predates richer utility libraries.
• Common_Get*: lookup helpers for factories, towns, camps, groups, side IDs, side logic/HQ, team state, funds, supply, upgrades, config data and positions (Common/Init/Init_Common.sqf:24-65,113-140). Depot lookup is a client family helper (WFBE_CL_FNC_GetClosestDepot at Client/Init/Init_Client.sqf:102), not a Common_Get* helper.
• Common_Set*: shared state setters for commander votes, team autonomy/respawn/move mode/move position/type, namespace/profile variables and turret magazines (Common/Init/Init_Common.sqf:75-80,150,171).
• Common_SendTo*: network abstraction around PVF dispatch to client(s) and server.
• Common_Handle*: event handlers for reload, AT, AA, missile/bomb/artillery, rocket tracer and alarms (Common/Init/Init_Common.sqf:6-16,66-68,141-143). Generic building damage handling is server-side (BuildingHandleDamages), not a Common_HandleDamage helper.
• Common_CreateMarker, Common_MarkerUpdate, Common_AARadarMarkerUpdate: marker creation/update layers.
• Common_LogContent: mission logging wrapper used for INITIALIZATION, INFORMATION, WARNING and error-style RPT lines.
• PerformanceAudit_*: RPT audit writer helpers consumed by Tools/PerformanceAuditAnalyzer.

Client Function Families

• Client_BuildUnit: main player purchase/spawn path after buy-menu selection.
• Client_UI*: list filling, gear templates, price updates, respawn selector and target updates.
• Client_Get*: client-side lookup helpers for respawn, income, gear content, nearby camps/depots/airports.
• Client_Handle*: map clicks, PVF dispatch, map state and HQ action helpers.
• Client_Delegate*: local AI delegation handlers when server delegates AI work to clients/headless.
• Client_WatchdogPlayerAI and Client_RecoverPlayerAI: player AI recovery/watchdog systems.
• Client_BookkeepBlinkingIcons and Client_SetMapIconStatusInCombat: combat marker blinking system.
• Client_UpdateRHUD: HUD/FPS overlay update loop with cached UI writes.

Server Function Families

• Server_BuyUnit: AI/team purchase path.
• Server_ProcessUpgrade: authoritative upgrade processing.
• Server_UpdateTeam: team state synchronization.
• Server_HandlePVF: server-side PVF dispatcher.
• Server_HandleDefense, Server_SpawnTownDefense, Server_ManageTownDefenses: town/static defense systems.
• Server_AI_SetTownAttackPath*: AI attack path selection and safety checks.
• Server_AI_Com_Upgrade: live AI commander upgrade worker; selects from Format ["WFBE_C_UPGRADES_%1_AI_ORDER", _side] (Server/Functions/Server_AI_Com_Upgrade.sqf:12), checks AI commander funds/supply and debits, but no obvious live scheduler has been found.
• Server_DelegateAI*: delegation to headless/client workers.
• Server_FNC_Delegation: selects delegation targets for town/player AI. No setGroupOwner rebalancing path has been found.
• Server_AssignNewCommander: commander assignment notification/AI-commander stop helper. Docs checkout 1f0b9018 still has the DR-15 helper unpacking bug (Server_AssignNewCommander.sqf:3-4), while stable origin/master cf2a6d6a, release a96fdda2, Miksuu b8389e74 and origin/perf/quick-wins 0076040f fix that helper shape but keep duplicate notification/UI identity risks; use Commander reassignment call shape.
• Server_HandleBuilding*, Server_Building*, Server_OnHQKilled, Server_MHQRepair: structure lifecycle and HQ damage/repair.
• Server_ChangeSideSupply, Server_PV_RequestSupplyValue: side supply network bridge.
• Server_LogGameEnd, Server_CallExtensions/GlobalGameStats: operational reporting.

Module Status And Gates

Presence in the tree does not always mean enabled in the current mission mode. Popper's module/support pass found this practical status split:

Module family	Status	Gate / note
Common/Module/Arty	Live.	Used through common artillery handlers and support flows.
Common/Module/IRS	Live.	Initialized through common init at Init_Common.sqf:320; vehicle/module availability still depends on constants and vehicle config.
Common/Module/Reaktiv	Branch-sensitive dead/unreachable module.	Docs checkout, Miksuu and perf keep maintained-root files (Reaktiv_Init.sqf:5) with no init caller; stable and release have no maintained-root Common/Module/Reaktiv hits. Use Modules atlas for the current branch matrix.
Client/Module/Nuke	Live and config-gated.	RequestSpecial / ICBM authority is the critical DR-27 risk.
Client/Module/EASA, Client/Module/CM	Live but config-gated.	Countermeasures are also gated by vanilla/OA mode.
Server/Module/AntiStack	Compiled but optional.	Runtime loops are dormant when WFBE_C_ANTISTACK_ENABLED == 0; external DB dependency is still live-server sensitive when enabled.
Server/Module/MASH	Branch-sensitive: docs/Miksuu/perf keep local MASH respawn plus orphaned marker relay; stable/release remove the MASH deploy/init/module path while retaining some config class residues.	Do not infer MASH behavior from the module folder alone. Use Respawn and death lifecycle for branch scope.
Server/Support/Support_Paratroopers.sqf	Drop flow live; marker registration is branch-scoped and smoke-pending.	Docs checkout, stable and release register HandleParatrooperMarkerCreation in both maintained roots; Miksuu omits it; perf fixes Chernarus only. Use Source fix propagation queue and Paratrooper marker revival.

High-Risk Edit Areas

• Init_CommonConstants.sqf: central constant namespace. Changes here affect both server and clients.
• Init_PublicVariables.sqf: PVF registration. Missing files or mismatched function names break networking; direct publicVariable channels outside this registry are inventoried in Networking/PV.
• description.ext / initJIPCompatible.sqf: both include generated version.sqf; a fresh checkout without generated version files will not preprocess cleanly.
• Client_BuildUnit.sqf and Server_BuyUnit.sqf: purchase/spawn paths with many factory-specific assumptions.
• Server/Init/Init_Server.sqf: long-lived server loops; duplicate or unconditional loops can hurt live performance.
• Tools/LoadoutManager: generated mission copying/packing; accidental edits to generated mission folders can be overwritten.
