Editing Pikmin 2 otakara config.txt

{{DISPLAYTITLE:''Pikmin 2'' otakara_config.txt}}
<code>otakara_config.txt</code> is a file that dictates non-Exploration Kit treasure properties in ''Pikmin 2''. <code>item_config.txt</code> is a similar file that lists all Exploration Kit treasures; its entries also contain one extra property, <code>message</code>. This page will explain both files.

To find them, go to <code>/user/Abe/Pellet/&lt;region&gt;</code>, where you will see a list of several <code>.szs</code> files. Look for the one named <code>pelletlist_&lt;region&gt;</code>. Extract this file to get several text files, including <code>otakara_config.txt</code> and <code>item_config.txt</code>. The files <code>/user/Abe/Pellet/&lt;region&gt;/otakara_config.txt</code> and <code>/user/Abe/Pellet/&lt;region&gt;/item_config.txt</code> are '''unused''' by the game.

==Format==
The first line that's not a comment indicates the number of entries.

Then come a series of blocks, starting and ending with curly braces &ndash; each block is a treasure. Each has a series of properties, one per line, and ends with just the word <code>end</code>. The following properties exist:

{| class="wikitable sortable"
! Property || Description
|-
| <code>name</code>
| The internal name of the treasure (used when spawning treasures in caves).
|-
| <code>archive</code>
| Name of the <code>.szs</code> archive containing the model, in </code>/user/Abe/pellet/region</code>.
|-
| <code>bmd</code>
| Name of the [[BMD file|<code>.bmd</code> model]] within the <code>.szs</code> archive.
|-
| <code>animmgr</code>
| File name of the animation manager in <code>otakara_texts.szs</code>.
|-
| <code>colltree</code>
| Name of the collision text file in <code>otakara_texts.szs</code>.
|-
| <code>radius</code>
|  {{unsure|Collision processing radius?}}
|-
| <code>p_radius</code>
| Radius of shadow and where Pikmin pick up the treasure base.
|-
| <code>height</code>
| Height offset of the treasure model.
|-
| <code>inertiascaling</code>
| A number that relates to the moment of inertia, i.e., how much it resists angular change. Higher values translates to higher resistance and reduced wobbling intensity.
|-
| <code>particletype</code>
| {{unknown}}.
|-
| <code>numparticles</code>
| {{unknown}}.
|-
| <code>particlesize</code>
| {{unknown}}.
|-
| <code>friction</code>
| {{unsure|Likely unused.}}
|-
| <code>min</code>
| Minimum Pikmin strength needed to carry.
|-
| <code>max</code>
| Maximum number of Pikmin that can carry.
|-
| <code>pikicountmax</code>
| '''Unused'''. Number of Pikmin treasure produces. Leftover data from pellet files.
|-
| <code>pikicountmin</code>
| '''Unused'''. Same as previous.
|-
| <code>dynamics</code>
| A value related to treasure collision. This is set to "lod" for most treasures, but "never" when the treasure weighs 1.
|-
| <code>money</code>
| Number of Pokos the treasure is worth.
|-
| <code>unique</code>
| If set to no, the treasure will always appear, even if it is already collected.
|-
| <code>code</code>
| {{unsure|Most treasures have a code of 0, but treasures with a code of 1 cannot be grabbed by breadbugs. Exploration kit treasures use a code of 2.}}
|-
| <code>dictionary</code>
| Spot placement in the Treasure Hoard.
|-
| <code>depth</code>
| This and the next values are how you make treasures buried.
|-
| <code>depth_max</code>
| {{unsure|Depth is the most important for this.}}
|-
| <code>depth_a</code>
| {{unsure|These seem to be radii the Pikmin make around the object as they dig it out.}}
|-
| <code>depth_b</code>
| Same as previous.
|-
| <code>depth_c</code>
| Same as previous.
|-
| <code>depth_d</code>
| Same as previous.
|-
| <code>message</code>
| Controls the ID of the ship's announcement message. If not present, no message loads, as is the case with all normal treasures.
|}
