The following Naming Convention applies to all Global Variables in order of Appearance:

XPS_

• the primary prefix used by both Main and Core
  • Main and Core should be considered the same addon despite being two seperate PBO files. This is to provide a ‘Lite’ version of XPS which only includes Main.

XPS_Addon (with no underscore or further text after)

• A True/False variable indicating the preInit has finished for that Addon’s PBO file.

XPS_Addon_

• Indicates Addon (similar to “Namespace” in Java/C#) in terms of HashmapObjects or Files
• Usually shortened (See Addon Guide to the Right)

XPS_Addon_filetype_FileName

• Filetype is typically three (sometimes four) lowercase letters to indicate the purpose of the SQF file. (See SQF File Type Guide to the right)
• FileName can be any length. Filename is retained as part of the Global name for ease of lookup

XPS_Addon_VariableName (without filetype)

• A Global Instance of a type
  • May be a Static Instance (compileFinal’d)
• VariableName might be a compound name if referring to a sub class
  • e.g. XPS_Addon_Pets_Dog : refers to a Dog item/class, which is a sub-item/class of Pets class.

These are similar to Dot-Notation but with underscores.
