Stratsims HC Platform Editor

Coded values

Every coded-value table in the editor's lookup tables (30 of them), linked from the field reference wherever a field's value is one of these codes rather than a free number.

A coded value is a small integer a field stores in place of free text or a free number — the game reads it against one of the fixed lists below. Nothing stops a value from falling outside that list; it packs onto disk fine, but it names nothing to the game.

These are what the editor's own pickers and lists show when you edit a record — see the Getting started guide for that edit workflow.
