# MOOSE Framework
|
|
|
|
MOOSE is a **M**ission **O**bject **O**riented **S**cripting **E**nvironment, and is meant for mission designers and mission hosters.
|
|
It allows to quickly setup complex missions using pre-scripted scenarios using the available classes within the MOOSE Framework.
|
|
MOOSE works with the current version of DCS world and earlier versions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 1. **[MOOSE Starters Guide](Moose_Starters_Guide.html)**
|
|
|
|
You need to write lua code (scripts) to apply the MOOSE framework.
|
|
But it is not really that hard, if you understand a couple of principles.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 2. **[MOOSE Mission Designers Guide](Moose_Designers_Guide.html)**
|
|
|
|
This section is meant for those who really want to start using MOOSE and write lua scripts for their missions.
|
|
The section provides a comprehensive overview of the different classes that form the complete MOOSE framework.
|
|
Here you find a high-level explanation and features, how to:
|
|
|
|
* Setup AI dispatchers to create complex and coordinated AI behaviour.
|
|
* Cargo handling
|
|
* Setup task dispatchers for Mission completion
|
|
* How to use MOOSE wrapper classes
|
|
* The different components of the core MOOSE engine
|
|
|
|
Each class will link you further down into the MOOSE Classes guide, for more detailed information on each MOOSE class.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 3. **[MOOSE Classes Guide](Documentation/index.html)**
|
|
|
|
Here you can find detailed documentation for each MOOSE class.
|
|
Click on the hamburger menu on the left upper corner of each page to navigate to other MOOSE classes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 4. MOOSE Setup
|
|
|
|
The delivery of MOOSE follows a structured release process. Over time, new features are added that can be used in your mission.
|
|
|
|
### The latest release of MOOSE can be downloaded **[here](https://github.com/FlightControl-Master/MOOSE/releases)**.
|
|
|
|
There are 3 different ways how you can use MOOSE, each with a different engagement and complexity level:
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 4.1. Setup for **[Mission Designers](Moose_Setup_Guide.html)**
|
|
|
|
This section shows how to setup a development environment for Mission Designers using the MOOSE framework.
|
|
|
|
- Download and install Java.
|
|
- Setup Lua Development Tools IDE (from the Eclipse suite).
|
|
- Setup a logging tool.
|
|
- Tweak your DCS environment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 4.2. Setup for **[Alpha or Beta Testing Guide](Beta_Test_Guide.html)**.
|
|
|
|
Beta testers of MOOSE are requested to install additional software.
|
|
|
|
As a return or as a reward, testers get:
|
|
|
|
* Newly developed features planned for the next MOOSE release can be tested and incorporated in your missions early.
|
|
* You can evaluate and contribute to the stability of the next release.
|
|
* Your mission creation workflow becomes very flexible. New features are dynamically added to you missions.
|
|
|
|
Please read the detailed **[Beta Test Guide](Beta_Test_Guide.html)** for more information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 4.3. Contribute on the MOOSE development
|
|
|
|
Those people who have experience in lua development or are excited to contribute to the MOOSE project are welcome.
|
|
|
|
Please consult the **[Contribution Guide](Contribution_Guide.html)** for more information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 4.4. Debug your code interactively using LDT
|
|
|
|
Have a look at the **[Interactive Debug Guide](Interactive_Debug_Guide.html)** to setup your system so you can debug your mission code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 5. MOOSE Support Channels
|
|
|
|
MOOSE is broadcasted, documented and supported through various social media channels.
|
|
|
|
Click here for the **[communities guide](Communities.html)** of the MOOSE framework.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 6. MOOSE framework goal
|
|
|
|
The goal of MOOSE is to allow mission designers to **enhance the mission designs** by using **mission orchestration objects**,
|
|
which can be _instantiated_ from defined classes within the framework.
|
|
This will allow to write exciting missions and multi player cooperative operation scenarios.
|
|
|
|
Of course, the richness of the framework will determine the richness of the misson scenarios.
|
|
The MOOSE is a service that is produced while being consumed ... ,
|
|
it will evolve further as more classes are developed for the framework, and as more users are using it.
|
|
|
|
MOOSE is NOT meant to be a one-man show, it is meant to evolve within a growing community around the framework.
|
|
|
|
Within the community, key users will support, document, explain and even create new classes for the framework.
|
|
It is the ambition to grow this framework as a de-facto standard for mission designers to use within the DCS World community.
|

|
|
|
|
Join our MOOSE community on Discord.
|
|
A place where mission designers and developers come together to discuss the latest features.
|
|
There are a lot of people supporting Mission Designers on Discord.
