The IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) table stores data on FS2's IFF 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

  • 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

  • Default: NO


$Missile Blip Color: or $Missile Blip Colour:

FS2 Open, 3.6.12:
