body.ini

The body.ini file describes the droid body components in Warzone 3.2 and above.

File Format

As it's name suggests, body.ini uses the same format as Windows .ini files.

An example is shown below:

[ScavengerChopper]
name = "*Scavenger Chopper*"
size = LIGHT
buildPower = 29
buildPoints = 300
weight = 1500
hitpoints = 120
model = scavchop.PIE
weaponSlots = 3
powerOutput = 2200
armourKinetic = 3
armourHeat = 1
designable = false
flameModel = chblades.pie

Each body has it's own section in the .ini file, denoted by the body ID in [square brackets]. The properties for that body are then listed as key=value pairs.

Properties

Property name	Data type	Description
name	String	A short, human-readable name for the body. This string must be enclosed in quotes. If the name has asterisks around it, it means the name isn't seen by end-users so there's no point translating it in to different languages.
armourKinetic	Number	How much kinetic armour does the body have before upgrades?
armourHeat	Number	How much thermal armour does the body have before upgrades?
buildPower	Number	How much power does the body cost to build?
buildPoints	Number	How long does the body take to build?
designable	Boolean	Can this body appear in the in-game droid design tool? `true` – yes (but the body must be available to the player) `false` – no
droidType	Constant	What classification of droid is the model associated with? CYBORG – a cyborg, only cyborg propulsion can be used CYBORG_CONSTRUCT – a field engineer cyborg (limits turret to a construction system) CYBORG_REPAIR – a mechanic cyborg (limits turret to a repair system) CYBORG_SUPER – a super-cyborg (limits propulsion to super-cyborg legs) PERSON – a person (limits propulsion to legs) TRANSPORTER – airborne droid, unlimited weapon ammo, can carry other droids (see also: related discussion)
flameModel	PIE filename	The 3D model (PIE) filename used for the jet effect (eg. on VTOLs).
hitPoints	Number	How many hit points does the body have? This determines how much damage it can take before it is destroyed.
model	PIE filename	The 3D model (PIE) filename associated with the body.
powerOutput	Number	What is the power of the engine in the body? This will affect speed of droids using the body.
size	Constant	How big is the body? LIGHT MEDIUM HEAVY SUPER_HEAVY – only used in campaigns (as normal factories can't have 3 modules) This determines what size of factory (number of modules) is required to build the droid (0 – 3 modules respectively). It also defines the size of the droid in the game's collision model.
weaponSlots	Number	How many turret slots does the body have? A number between 0 (no slots) and 3.
weight		How heavy is the body? This will affect speed of droids using the body.
