== `Schemes/Ammo/<SchemeName>.hwa` ==

A weapon scheme. `<SchemeName>` is the name of this weapon scheme. This file contains a long sequence of numbers between `0` to `9` to configure all weapon settings.

The number string has 4 equally long sections, in this order:

 * Start ammo (9 = infinite)

 * Crate probability (higher = more)

 * Ammo in crate

 * Delay

In each section, each number represents one weapon. The order of these weapons is noted in the source code file `weapons.h` ([https://hg.hedgewars.org/hedgewars/file/tip/QTfrontend/weapons.h#l24]). This means the first number of a section is for the grenade, followed by the cluster bomb, then bazooka, and so on.

== `schemes.ini` ==

Legacy file for game schemes for version 0.9.23 and older. Since 0.9.24, this file is no longer actively used, it is now only used to import schemes to the new format when the `Schemes/Game/` directory has not been created yet.

=== {{{[schemes]}}} ===

List of custom scheme settings as key-value pairs, each with a key of "index number of scheme backslash setting name". The only exception is `size` which holds the number of game schemes in this file.

== `weapons.ini` ==

Legacy file for weapon schemes for version 0.9.23 and older. Since 0.9.24, this file is no longer actively used, it is now only used to import weapon schemes to the new format when the `Schemes/Ammo/` directory has not been created yet.

=== {{{[General]}}} ===

_List of weapon settings as key-value pairs, each with a string name and integer value_

|| *Setting* || *Type* || *Description* ||

|| `<Scheme name>`=93919...11101 || Integer || Weapon settings. `<Scheme name>` is the name of the scheme. The number string has the same meaning as in the new ammo scheme file ||

== `TeamName.hwt` ==

These files are found in the `Teams` directory and contain the team settings, one file per team.

=== {{{[Binds]}}} ===

Key bindings of the team. Teams can optionally overwrite the global key bindings or leave everything at default.

This section follows the same format as in `settings.ini`, with one addition: The key code `default` is used for using the default (global) key binding.

==== Values ====

The special value “`default`” is for the default keybinding as specified in the game preferences.

Regarding other keys: See [Binds] of settings.ini.

=== {{{[Campaign%20<CAMPAIGN_NAME>]}}} ===

This section stores campaign variables which are stored and read by Lua scripts. Replace “`<CAMPAIGN_NAME>` with the folder name of the campaign. Example: The section for “A Classic Fairytale” would be “`[Campaign%20A_Classic_Fairytale]`”.

Campaign variables are stored on a key-value basis, where the key is the name of the campaign variable and the value is the value of the campaign variable.

Campaign variable names and their values can are chosen by the Lua script authors, but there are some special variables which are used to determine which missions are available in the main menu, and since 0.9.23, also to determine which missions and campaigns have been completed.

For linear campaigns, the variables `Progress` and `Won` are used.

For non-linear campaigns, the variables `UnlockedMissions`, `MissionX`, `MissionXWon` and `Won` are used.

The variables should not be mixed up.

Since Hedgewars 0.9.23, completed missions and campaigns get a check mark in the campaign screen.

|| *Setting* || *Type* || *Description* ||

|| `Progress` || Integer || Since version 0.9.23, this variable stands for the number of completed missions in a linear campaign, starting with mission 1. For each completed mission, the next one gets unlocked. Previous versions have a slightly trickier definition: If present, this number of missions _additional to the first mission_ are unlocked in the menu, starting with the second mission and continuing with the following missions in their regular order (as specified in `campaign.ini`). If the number is `0`, only the first mission is available. ||

|| `UnlockedMissions` || Integer || This number specifies how many missions are unlocked. If this variable is set, then the variables `Mission1`, `Mission2`, etc. must be used to specfify the IDs of the unlocked missions. ||

|| `MissionX` || Integer || E.g. `Mission1`, `Mission2`, etc. Contains the `campaign.ini` ID of the `X`th unlocked mission, must be used together with `UnlockedMissions` ||

|| `MissionXWon` || Boolean || Since 0.9.23. E.g. `Mission1Won`, `Mission2Won`, etc. If `true`, the mission with the number `X` in `campaign.ini` has been completed. ||

|| `Won` || Boolean || Since 0.9.23. If `true`, the team has completed the campaign. Note that campaign victory is completely seperate from mission victory, so this setting must be set seperately. ||

By default, the first mission (Mission 1 in `campaign.ini`) is available.

==== Examples ====

Simple campaign with 10 missions, missions 1-5 are available and missions 1-4 count as completed:

{{{

[Campaign%20Simple_Campaign]

Progress=4

}}}

Simple 0.9.23 campaign with 6 missions. This campaign and all its missions have been unlocked and completed:

{{{

[Campaign%20Simple_Campaign_2]

Progress=6

Won=true

}}}

Complex campaign with 13 missions, missions 2, 7 and 3 are available (in that order):

{{{

[Campaign%20Complex_Campaign]

UnlockedMissions=3

Mission1=2

Mission2=7

Mission3=3

}}}

Another campaign with some custom campaign variables:

{{{

[Campaign%20Another_Campaign]

Progress=2

MyCustomVariable=54

MyCustomString=Hedgewars

}}}
