Class config files are CFG files that load specific settings for each class type in KAG. They are usually named "knight.cfg" or the name of the class and .cfg.

NOTE: When editing .cfg and .gm files, make sure to copy them to a separate Rules/ subfolder with your own gamemode. Otherwise, they will get automatically overwritten during KAG updates.

Example Configuration

An example knight.cfg might look like this:

                                                         
name = Knight
emblem = GUI/knight_icon.png
   
actor_name = runner  
actor_config =
actor_sprite_size = 32
actor_sprite_male = Sprites/knightMale.png
actor_sprite_female = Sprites/knightFemale.png
actor_heads_size = 16
actor_heads_male = Sprites/MaleHeads.png
actor_heads_female = Sprites/FemaleHeads.png    

default_health = 1.5
default_armor = 0.0    

stone_default = 0
wood_default = 0
gold_default = 0
arrows_default = 0
bombs_default = 0
       
stone_warmup = 0
wood_warmup = 0
gold_warmup = 0
arrows_warmup = 0
bombs_warmup = 0

Config Variables

There are special configuration variables available to class config files. They are:

emblem string Reference to location of image to be shown in class menus. (.png)
actor_name string Defines the type of entity for game engine purposes. Shouldn't be modified. Currently only "runner" is available.
actor_config string Reference to location of class configuration file. (.cfg) Does not seem to be any longer used in latest KAG build.
actor_sprite_size u16 32 Defines the frame width of the sprite for animation purposes.
actor_sprite_male string Reference to location of the body sprite-sheet to be used during animation when player selects male. (.png)
actor_sprite_female string Reference to location of the body sprite-sheet to be used during animation when player selects female. (.png) Does not seem to be used at this given time.
actor_heads_size u32 16 Defines the frame width of the head sprite for animation purposes.
actor_heads_male string Reference to location of the head sprite-sheet to be used during animation when player selects male. (.png)

To start the class with only one heart, you can set default_health:

default_health = 0.5
