Game references

Lists of the things in The Warriors that scripts, mods and Coney's own code refer to: characters and their classes, attacks and hats, gangs and the Rumble roster, objects, weapons, items and cars, levels and what they place (flags, zones, doors, glass, lights), cameras and screen effects, AI goals, unlockables and statistics, animations, controls and commands, colours, text tags and labels, script constants, sounds, speech, script events and the names of the files in the game's archive. They play the part FiveM's game references play for GTA V: a modder looks up the id or name to pass, a contributor the value to expect.

Characters are "humans". The game calls every person, the player included, a human: scripts create one with HuCreate, the engine updates them all in Humans_Update, and most character bindings start with Hu. A human is the game's equivalent of GTA's ped; see Characters (research).

Start with Entities: every kind of thing the game has at run time (humans, objects, cars, flags, cameras, gangs ...), how scripts refer to each, how many there can be, and which lists and bindings cover it, with the FiveM equivalent of each.

Everything here is a name, an id, a number or our own short description, read from the player's own disc by coney-tools refs extract and checked by hand. No game text, script source, model or image from the disc is copied (LEGAL.md, "Reference lists").

Script bindings

The functions the scripts call are listed in Script bindings.

Still to list

Families of ids, names and values that scripts or the Cfg* tables use and that have no list yet, the most useful to a script author first. Counts are from the disc's 467 compiled scripts. Image says how an entry could be illustrated: model render (Coney renders the model, as for characters), icon render (one 2D icon or sprite of at most 64 x 64 that Coney renders from the disc), swatch (a colour the docs draw) or none. The list is research/references/still-to-list.yaml; a family that gets its own list leaves it.

Every family the scripts use has a list now.

Not to be listed: the credits (CfgCredits) and the text of any string table, which are game text; boss portraits (HUDSetANBossTexture), loading screens and other artwork.

Images

Characters, objects, cars, radar icons, particle effects and the lists that name an object (hats, inventory) may show a thumbnail. Coney renders them itself from the player's disc (coney --render-references DIR --names FILE, Running Coney) as transparent PNGs in docs/references/images/, named after the entry's stable reference name, so the renderer and these lists agree without a lookup table. Models are 256 x 256; 2D icons and sprites are at most 64 x 64:

Lists	Image	File name	Example
Characters, Character models	the model standing	characters/<model name>.png, or <name hash>.png for a model with no recovered name	characters/warr_re_cv.png
Objects, Hats, Inventory	the object's model	objects/<name>.png, the object type name	objects/dyn_bat.png
Cars (types)	the undamaged car	cars/<type name>.png	cars/car_osedan.png
Radar icons	the icon at its own size	radar/icon-<n>.png	radar/icon-28.png
Particle effects (traced sprites)	the sprite scaled to fit 64 x 64	particles/<name>.png	particles/part_fire.png

coney-tools refs extract fills an entry's image field when its file exists; a missing image is simply left out of the table.

Contributing

Edit the YAML in research/references/, then run uv run --project python coney-tools refs render. The hand-written fields (who a character is, what a constant means) are kept when the lists are refreshed from the disc with coney-tools refs extract. The schema and rules are in Research workflow.
