DO NOT EDIT rtd2_perks.default.cfg!

Perk values are all set in rtd2_perks.default.cfg. However, to counter the requirement of having to edit that file each time new perks are released, rtd2_perks.custom.cfg was added.

Editing rtd2_perks.custom.cfg will override any values that are in rtd2_perks.default.cfg at the same position. View examples down below.

rtd2_perks.custom.cfg addresses the perks in a different way than rtd2_perks.default.cfg. This is why you should never copy the contents of the default config file to the custom config file.

Custom Config Template ^

//Usage:
//
//"token"				// Perk's token used for identification.
//{
//	"name"		"Perk Name"	// The name that appears in chat or searchup.
//	"good"		"1/0"		// Is the perk good? 1 and over - yes; 0 and below - no.
//	"sound"		"sound_path"	// The path to the sound which is played on a client who rolls that perk.
//	"time"		"-1, 0, n"	// Custom time for the perk, set to -1 if it's not on timer, 0 if cvar standard, anything >0 is custom time
//	"class"		"X"		// Limit to class(es): "0" -> all-class; "1"-"9" -> Scout to Spy respectively; "1,4,8" -> Scout, Demoman or Sniper. Repeats or numbers higher than 9 are not counted.
//	"weapons"	"X,Y,Z,..."	// Limit to weapon classes. Roller's weapons' classes must CONTAIN X, Y or Z for the perk to be applied (not EQUAL). For an example, see Homing Projectiles(13).
//	"settings"			// An optional value used for certain behavior in some perks. This MUST NOT exist when a perk doesn't have custom options.
//	{
//		"option1"	"value1"
//		"..."		"..."
//	}
//	"tags"		"tag1, tag2"	// Tags used to find this perk via `sm_rtds` (perk searchup), separated by a comma.
//	"call"		"Function_Name"	// Internal function's name to use when the perk is called
//}

//********** NOTE *********
// This config will override any value at the same position in rtd2_perks.default.cfg

// Edit the below by adding new sections. Basically, replicating rtd2_perks.default.cfg

Config File Breakdown ^

• "name" — Perk's name which appears in chat, HUD or searchup
• "good" — (0/1) Is the perk good?
• "sound" — Path of the perk's initiation sound.
• "token" — Perk's name without caps, special symbols or spaces, core way of addressing the perk.
• "time" — (-1=no timer/0=cvar/X=custom) Perk's duration.
• "class" — (0-9) "0"=all class, "X"=individual class, "X,Y,Z"=3 different classes.
• "weapons" — Only players with these parts of weapon classnames are eligible.
• "settings" — (subsection) The settings subsection defining options for each perk.
• "tags" — (tag1, tag2, tag3) Used for searchup. If a tag is in a single perk, it can be used to address it.
• "call" — Internal function's name to use when the perk is called.

Config File Detailed Breakdown ^

• "good"
  • Whether the perk is good is actually determined before the roll via sm_rtd2_chance or sm_rtd2_dchance ConVar.
  • If a perk of specified perk intention is not available (all are disabled or none left for player's class) a perk * of the opposite intention will be tried to be rolled.
• "sound"
  • Path of the perk's initiation sound starting from the /sounds/ folder.
  • It will be played to all with origin of the player who rolled the perk.
  • You can set this to your custom sounds if you'd like to.
• "token"
  • Perk's name without caps, special symbols or spaces.
  • Main thing by which to address the perk, changing it in the default config will result in errors.
  • Impossible to edit in the custom config.
• "time"
  • Perk's duration. Valid values are:
    • -1 — The perk is instant (ex: Lucky Sandvich), therefor no timer will start. This could be an issue if a timed perk is set to -1 (because it will never end).
    • 0 — The perk will use the default perk duration, specified by sm_rtd2_duration ConVar.
    • X — Anything greater than 0 will override the ConVar and will give the perk custom time.
• "class"
  • Specify which classes the perk is allowed to be applied to:
    • 0 or blank — all-class.
    • 1-9 — Individual classes, from Scout to Spy respectively.
    • X, Y, Z — Specify custom classes, repeats are not counted. (ex: "1, 4, 6" will make a perk be applicable to Scout, Demoman and Engineer only)
  • Only digits in this string are counted.
• "weapons"
  • Specify parts of weapon classnames to limit the perk to.
  • You only need to put unique parts of the classname.
  • Only players holding weapons of any of the specified classnames will be able to obtain the perk.
  • Example: "rocketl" will limit the perk to players who have a rocket launcher equipped.
  • Spaces are escaped during processing.
• "settings"
  • The settings field contains subfields of options per perk.
  • If settings field is missing, the perk has no options.
  • All settings are documented on the Perk List page.
• "tags"
  • Tags are single words, separated by a comma.
  • They are used to find perks when using sm_rtds (perk search-up).
  • Spaces are escaped during processing.
• "call"
  • Cell defined which internal function to call when the perk is triggered.
  • All perks have individual calls but you can change them to some other perk's call should you want to.
  • You may have two of the same perks with different settings supplied.
  • You will have to sacrifice a perk in order to do that, an option to add perks through the custom config file may be implemented in the future.

}

Do both of the above ^

"Effects"
{

	"flying"
