appart from glasses are "spectacles" (glasses) and "sunglasses" (self-explained)

@2 if ur looking for description.ext Cfg options, there's several tutes in the Ed's Depot. Else, I have no bloody clue.  :P

I would get the Commented Configs from the Editors Depot and study them..........this is presuming you don't already have them.

@Tyger.  Thanks.  Like many things - I should have been able to guess - but I didn't.

@Plank.  This is embarrasing.  It is the second time in two days there was something in the Editor's Dept that I couldn't find.  I have done several searches on Cfg and the like.  I have also clicked on Online Reference...which is where I went wrong yesterday..... But I cant damn well find it!

EDIT:  Found it (I think)  Commented CPP Files?

This is good stuff - and I only understand a fraction of it.

Are you talking about the description.ext, or an addon's config.cpp?

The commented config's are an example of the latter. For the former, I'd suggest this tut:

description.ext file description

The first half of that is good, but the second half (which covers sounds and campaigns) isn't so good. If you want to learn about defining sounds, check bloodmixer's sound tut. For campaigns.... do a search. I found a good tut here a while back, but can't remember where it was.

Oh, and on the specific question:

There are also addons that will add more glasses into the game. In that case, check the readme for the name to put there. Or depbo the addon, and find the classnames for the glasses. However, there is no way to check if a person actually has such an addon installed, so it may not work how you want.

BIS's commented cpp's are still helpful, actually, because you can find lots of stuff in there, once you get the hang of them. You can find the names and files of all the BIS sounds, for one thing.
