I found some weird function in common.j of war3x.mpq. Can someone explain what they do?

PHP: 
function TextTagSize2Height takes real size returns real
    return size * 0.023 / 10
endfunction

PHP: 
function TextTagSpeed2Velocity takes real speed returns real
    return speed * 0.071 / 128
endfunction

PHP: 
function BJDebugMsg takes string msg returns nothing
    local integer i = 0
    loop
        call DisplayTimedTextToPlayer(Player(i),0,0,60,msg)
        set i = i + 1
        exitwhen i == bj_MAX_PLAYERS
    endloop
endfunction

PHP: 
function CameraSetEQNoiseForPlayer takes player whichPlayer,real magnitude returns nothing
    local real richter = magnitude
    if (richter > 5.0) then
        set richter = 5.0
    endif
    if (richter < 2.0) then
        set richter = 2.0
    endif
    if (GetLocalPlayer() == whichPlayer) then
        call CameraSetTargetNoiseEx(magnitude*2.0, magnitude*Pow(10,richter),true)
        call CameraSetSourceNoiseEx(magnitude*2.0, magnitude*Pow(10,richter),true)
    endif
endfunction

PHP: 
function TextTagSize2Height takes real size returns real
    return size * 0.023 / 10
endfunction
BJ function, returns the pre set height a texttag with the size 'size' should use.


PHP: 
function TextTagSpeed2Velocity takes real speed returns real
    return speed * 0.071 / 128
endfunction
Same as above but for the speed isnteed. Both these functions just make some easy math as you can see.


PHP: 
function BJDebugMsg takes string msg returns nothing
    local integer i = 0
    loop
        call DisplayTimedTextToPlayer(Player(i),0,0,60,msg)
        set i = i + 1
        exitwhen i == bj_MAX_PLAYERS
    endloop
endfunction
Posts a message to all players, with pre set duration.

PHP: 
function CameraSetEQNoiseForPlayer takes player whichPlayer,real magnitude returns nothing
    local real richter = magnitude
    if (richter > 5.0) then
        set richter = 5.0
    endif
    if (richter < 2.0) then
        set richter = 2.0
    endif
    if (GetLocalPlayer() == whichPlayer) then
        call CameraSetTargetNoiseEx(magnitude*2.0, magnitude*Pow(10,richter),true)
        call CameraSetSourceNoiseEx(magnitude*2.0, magnitude*Pow(10,richter),true)
    endif
endfunction
//Edit : To who don't know what is EQ, it is Earthquake.
Chakes the camera for a player.

PHP: 
constant native ConvertLimitOp takes integer i returns limitop

PHP: 
native CreateMIDISound takes string soundLabel,integer fadeInRate,integer fadeOutRate returns sound
Creates an sound from a label ^^

PHP:

Probably dissable the control for a player, test it yourself.

PHP: 
native GetLocalizedString takes string source returns string
Dunno.

PHP: 
function PerformStockUpdates takes nothing returns nothing
    local integer  pickedItemId
    local itemtype pickedItemType
    local integer  pickedItemLevel = 0
    local integer  allowedCombinations = 0
    local integer  iLevel
    set iLevel = 1
    loop
        if (bj_stockAllowedPermanent[iLevel]) then
            set allowedCombinations = allowedCombinations + 1
            if (GetRandomInt(1, allowedCombinations) == 1) then
                set pickedItemType = ITEM_TYPE_PERMANENT
                set pickedItemLevel = iLevel
            endif
        endif
        if (bj_stockAllowedCharged[iLevel]) then
            set allowedCombinations = allowedCombinations + 1
            if (GetRandomInt(1, allowedCombinations) == 1) then
                set pickedItemType = ITEM_TYPE_CHARGED
                set pickedItemLevel = iLevel
            endif
        endif
        if (bj_stockAllowedArtifact[iLevel]) then
            set allowedCombinations = allowedCombinations + 1
            if (GetRandomInt(1, allowedCombinations) == 1) then
                set pickedItemType = ITEM_TYPE_ARTIFACT
                set pickedItemLevel = iLevel
            endif
        endif
        set iLevel = iLevel + 1
        exitwhen iLevel > bj_MAX_ITEM_LEVEL
    endloop
    if (allowedCombinations == 0) then
        return
    endif
    call UpdateEachStockBuilding(pickedItemType, pickedItemLevel)
endfunction
Probably something with the shops in wc3.

PHP: 
function StartSoundForPlayerBJ takes player whichPlayer,sound soundHandle returns nothing
    if (whichPlayer == GetLocalPlayer()) then
        call StartSound(soundHandle)
    endif
endfunction
Plays a sound for a player.

PHP: 
native VersionGet takes nothing returns version
Returns the version, dunno what version or what you use this for. Probably some blizzard use only function.

PHP: 
native VersionSupported takes version whichVersion returns boolean
Something close to the thing above.

PHP: 
function WaitTransmissionDuration takes sound soundHandle,integer timeType,real timeVal returns nothing
    if (timeType == bj_TIMETYPE_SET) then
        call TriggerSleepAction(timeVal)
    elseif (soundHandle == null) then
        call TriggerSleepAction(bj_NOTHING_SOUND_DURATION)
    elseif (timeType == bj_TIMETYPE_SUB) then
        call WaitForSoundBJ(soundHandle, timeVal)
    elseif (timeType == bj_TIMETYPE_ADD) then
        call WaitForSoundBJ(soundHandle, 0)
        call TriggerSleepAction(timeVal)
    else
    endif
endfunction
This is used with the 'play sound' bj, it waits eaither a set amount of time or until the sound is compleated or both.

The only functions Ive used when Ive coded is BJDebugMsg and StartSoundForPlayerBJ.

> CripplePlayer

I would guess this is the "you will be revealed unless", as seen in melee games.
Or, at least, some part of it.

> GetLocalizedString

Reads strings from, for example, the game interface.
Useful for international games. Or modified "quest" menus...
