XML parameters
Contents
XML Parameters List
Here you can find all the parameters ("param.") Found in XML files for Crysis / Warhead / Wars, in particular for weapons and transport. Crysis uses XML to store information about them, for example, recoil and spread and, speed and other technical parameters, for the speed of flight and the damage from ammunition. If something is written "secretly" these are parameters that are not currently used in any XML files, but are still present in the source code of the game.
Be careful to change files similar to XML
<bool> If the parameter is written in ' italic' it is a hidden parameter.
<bool> If the description has "?" Behind it, it means that whoever wrote it there is not sure about the correctness of the description
It is highly recommended to use the search function of your browser to find the setting you are looking for (Ctrl + F in Firefox, Google Chrome, etc., use IE? Switch to Firefox or Chrome!).
