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 the Chernarus source mission root Missions/[55-2hc]warfarev2_073v48co.chernarus/. Source refreshed on 2026-06-14 against docs head 6ecac3ae; targeted diffs from 1f0b9018 through HEAD over the checked function-index source families returned no source changes, so older line anchors are preserved. Branch refs still resolve to stable origin/master cf2a6d6a, release a96fdda2, Miksuu b8389e74 and origin/perf/quick-wins 0076040f. 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; called on a timed interval by the main AI commander loop (Server/AI/Commander/AI_Commander.sqf:160-162, interval constant WFBE_C_AI_COMMANDER_UPGRADE_INTERVAL).
• 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. Current docs-head anchors remain Server_AssignNewCommander.sqf:3-4; exact DR-15 branch status, duplicate notification and UI identity risks live on Commander reassignment call shape and Commander vote/reassignment.
• 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.

Client Modules

• Client/Module/AFKkick
• Client/Module/AntiStack
• Client/Module/AutoFlip
• Client/Module/CM
• Client/Module/CoIn
• Client/Module/EASA
• Client/Module/Engines - Engine stealth fuel toggle reference
• Client/Module/MASH — (branch-only; not present on master; see Respawn and death lifecycle)
• Client/Module/Nuke
• Client/Module/Skill
• Client/Module/supplyMission
• Client/Module/UAV
• Client/Module/Valhalla
• Client/Module/ZetaCargo

Common Modules

• Common/Module/Arty

• Common/Module/IRS
• Common/Module/Reaktiv

Server Modules

• Server/Module/afkKick
• Server/Module/AntiStack
• Server/Module/MASH
• Server/Module/NEURO
• Server/Module/serverFPS — removed in release fix #7; folder and file deleted from master; compile line is commented out at Init_Server.sqf:82 and :105; Init_Server.sqf:815 notes it was a redundant second FPS publisher — live HUD reads SERVER_FPS_GUI from serverFpsGUI.sqf instead.
• Server/Module/supplyMission

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.	Folder presence is not runtime proof. Use Modules atlas for the current branch matrix and revive/remove decision route.
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 mobile-respawn module family.	Do not infer MASH behavior from the module folder alone. Use Respawn and death lifecycle for old-shape local respawn, orphaned marker relay and current-stable/B69 deploy-path removal scope.
Server/Support/Support_Paratroopers.sqf	Drop flow live; marker registration is branch-scoped and smoke-pending.	Use Source fix propagation queue and Paratrooper marker revival for exact registration branches and smoke gates.

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.

Legacy Compiled Aliases With No Static Callers

This page owns the source-backed legacy-alias table; Dead/stale code register keeps a single route row that points here. A 2026-06-06 whole-symbol scan found these old global names still compiled at boot in the maintained roots but with zero active static callers once compile lines, comments and the helper file itself are excluded. The compiled globals below were re-confirmed on origin/master 0139a346 (2026-06-21).

Legacy global	Compiled at	Helper source	Status
AITownResitance	Server/Init/Init_Server.sqf:22	Server/AI/AI_Resistance.sqf	Compiled; no active static caller found.
EquipLoadout	Common/Init/Init_Common.sqf:22	Common/Functions/Common_EquipLoadout.sqf	Compiled; no active static caller (helper file still reachable through newer names).
FireArtillery	Common/Init/Init_Common.sqf:23	Common/Functions/Common_FireArtillery.sqf	Compiled; no active static caller found.
GetGroupFromConfig	Common/Init/Init_Common.sqf:32	Common/Functions/Common_GetGroupFromConfig.sqf	Compiled; no active static caller found.
GetSafePlace	Common/Init/Init_Common.sqf:39	Common/Functions/Common_GetSafePlace.sqf	Compiled; no active static caller found.
GetSideUpgrades	Common/Init/Init_Common.sqf:43	Common/Functions/Common_GetSideUpgrades.sqf	Compiled; no active static caller (helper file still reachable through newer names).
GetUnitsBelowHeight	Common/Init/Init_Common.sqf:66	Common/Functions/Common_GetUnitsBelowHeight.sqf	Compiled; no active static caller found.
UseStationaryDefense	Common/Init/Init_Common.sqf:87	Common/Functions/Common_UseStationaryDefense.sqf	Compiled; no active static caller found.
ReplaceArray	Client/Init/Init_Client.sqf:86	Client/Functions/Client_ReplaceArray.sqf	Compiled; no active static caller found.
HandlePVF	Client/Init/Init_Client.sqf:82	Client/Functions/Client_HandlePVF.sqf	Compiled; no active static caller (PVF routing now flows through WFBE_* handlers).

Caveat: this is an inventory of unused old global names, not a dead-file claim. Several helper files (for example Common_EquipLoadout.sqf, Common_GetSideUpgrades.sqf, Client_HandlePVF.sqf) are still live because newer WFBE_* function names compile and call the same files. Dynamic/runtime invocation through call compile, string lookups or namespace dispatch remains an open uncertainty until an Arma smoke or namespace trace proves a global truly unreferenced. Treat removals as revive-or-delete candidates routed through Dead/stale code register, not automatic deletions.
