The iff_defs.tbl (Identification Friend or Foe) table stores data on FS2's IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) entries. This tables default version (shown as example) is included to the code so iff_defs.tbl is not required unless entries are to be added or changed.

General Format
- IFF_defs table consist of the generic definitions followed by actual iff definitions
- Table begins with #IFFs
- The traitor must be defined with $Traitor IFF:
- This entry is used to define which IFF is used to represent the traitors IFF
- Different IFFs entries begin with $IFF Name:
- Table ends with #End
$Traitor IFF:
- This entry is used to define which IFF is used to represent the traitors IFF
- Syntax: String, IFF entry
$Selection Color: or $Selection Colour:
FS2 Open, 3.6.12:

- Default: ( 255, 255, 255 )
$Message Color: or $Message Colour:

- Syntax: Integer, values from 0 to 15
- Default: 4
$Use Alternate Blip Coloring:
FS2 Open, 3.6.12:
- If set forces all blips to use uniform transparency based 'dimming' method instead of using 1/2 brightness (non-transparent) on the non-ship blips
- Syntax: Boolean
- Default: NO
$Missile Blip Color: or $Missile Blip Colour:
FS2 Open, 3.6.12:

- Default: ( 127, 127, 127 )
$Tagged Blip Color: or $Tagged Blip Colour:
FS2 Open, 3.6.12:
- Defines the color of the tagged targets on radar screen. Dimmed color is 1/2 unless alternate blip coloring is in use.
- Syntax: Integer list, values from 0 to 255, red, green and blue respectively
- Default: ( 255, 255, 0 )
$Radar Target ID Flags:
FS2 Open, 3.6.12:
- Defines the appearance of the currently targeted blip on radar screen.
- Syntax: ( "String" ), name of the flag
- List of flags:
- "crosshairs"
- "blink"
- "pulsate"
- "enlarge"
- List of flags:
$IFF Name:
$Colour: or $Color:
FS2 Open 3.6.10:
- Defines the color of the IFF as seen in by default (e.g. in briefing icons).
- Syntax: ( Color ), three integers, values from 0 to 255; red, green and blue respectively
- Example: ( 0, 255, 0 )
$Attacks:
FS2 Open 3.6.10:
- Defines the IFFs that are attacked by default
- Syntax: ( String ), name of the IFF
- Example: ( "Friendly" "Neutral" "Traitor" )
+Sees IFF Name As:
FS2 Open 3.6.10:
- IFF can be set to be seen as in different color than what that IFFS default color is.
- Same IFF may have multiple +Sees IFF Name As: entries
- IFF Name defines the name of the IFF to have a different color.
- Example: +Sees Hostile As:
- Syntax: ( Color ), three integers, values from 0 to 255; red, green and blue respectively
- Example: ( 255, 0, 0 )
$Flags:
FS2 Open 3.6.10:
- IFFs can have special flags assigned to them.
- Syntax: ( "String" ), name of the flag
- Example: ( "support allowed" )

Sample Entry
