*.ltx

About

LTX files are basically *.ini files with some custom additions. They are located all over the gamedata/configs and are used for, well, configs.

Here it is how ltx config might look like:

#include "tables/gun_*.ltx"

[some_nice_gun]
recoil              = 0.8
boosts              = a, b, c, d    ; list
fancy_feature       = {=is_night()} true, false

[some_other_gun]
...

*.ltx features

  1. #include preprocessor command. This command basically merges the file into this config. Many of the configs are included into system.ltx this way, so you can access almost all sections through ini_sys handler.
  2. Wildcard imports - * in include statement corresponds to any text, so the given include will include both gun_ak.ltx and gun_m4.ltx. This feature was developed for Anomaly, so you may not find it in other mods.
  3. Name of the section in square brackets - this is referred in scripts as section_name or just section.
  4. Key-value pairs. Values may include comma-separated lists.
  5. Comments start with ;.
  6. fancy_feature uses something called “condlist”. Refer to condlists manual to understand this bs.
