Generator/Forces/_How to add your own templates.txt

@@ -1,18 +0,0 @@
-You can add your own unit templates in this directory and they will appear in the mission generator.
-
-1) Create an empty mission on Caucasus 
-2) Add ground unit groups.
-3) Save the mission in this directory.
-
-Optional:
-4) Add helicopters with "CAS" main task for attack helicopters.
-5) Add helicopters with "Transport" main task for transport helicopters.
-6) Add planes with "CAS" main task for attack planes.
-7) Add planes with "CAP" main task for fighters.
-8) Configure loadouts, liveries, and skill for aircraft.
-
-Tips:
--Drop your templates in the RotorOps Discord if you'd like to have them added in a release for everyone.
--The mission generator will only extract blue ground units from the template when selected from the "Blue Forces" menu, and vice versa.
--Only unit types are used from ground units.  Liveries or other attributes are able to be copied.
--For aircraft, group size is currently capped at 2 units per group to help prevent issues with parking.  Only the first unit in the group is used as a source. 

Generator/Imports/How to use imports.txt

-You can put .miz files in this folder to be copied into the generated mission at marker points.  This feature is currently very 'alpha' and may produce errors.  Currently, this doesn't work for ship groups or plane groups.
-
-1) Make an empty mission on Cauacasus.
-
-2) Place units/objects on the map.
-
-3) Make one unit group name: 'ANCHOR'  This will represent the point of insertion into the target mission. 
-
-4) In a Scenario template, place a static object (flag, etc) and call it "IMPORT-[filename of .miz created in first step]" Country should be CJTF Red, CJTF Blue, or UN Peacekeepers.
-
-5) Change the unit name of the object created in the previous step.  This unit name might be used for spawn names, so you should call the unit name something like "North Base" so players know where they'll be spawning when choosing a slot.  
-
-
-Tips: 
--You can change the heading of the imported group by changing the heading of the insertion object.
--For multiple imports of the same template, the import object group name should end with '-01' or '-whatever'.

Generator/Scenarios/_How to create your own scenarios.txt

@@ -1,46 +0,0 @@
-You can add your own scenarios in this directory and they will appear in the mission generator.  See the other scenario .miz files for examples of what to include in your template.
-
-
-A scenario .miz file MUST have:
-
-1) Between 1-4 circular trigger zones called "ALPHA", "BRAVO", "CHARLIE", "DELTA"
-2) At least one trigger zone with a name that starts with "STAGING".
-3) A blue airport (recommend somewhere near/on-side your staging zone). 
-4) A red airport (recommend somewhere near/on-side your last conflict zone).  
-5) At least one Russian unit or static object.  Anything will work, even a cow.  You can set "HIDDEN ON MAP".
-6) At least one USA unit or static object. See previous point.
-
-
-
-Optional: 
-7) USA FARP called "HELO_FARP" for automatic player placement. (Strongly suggest using immortal and invisible options for support vehicles, and add "static" to the group name to keep them from moving)
-8) USA Carrier called "HELO_CARRIER" for automatic player placement.
-9) Infantry spawn zones inside conflict zones. Add near buildings to simulate infantry hiding within. Name trigger zones like "ALPHA_SPAWN", "ALPHA_SPAWN_2, etc.
-
-Testing:
-You should test your scenarios to ensure that vehicals move between zones as you expect.  In some circumstances, vehicles may not be able to calculate a valid route to the next zone, and they will stop.  Make sure they can route correctly by testing your scenario in fast forward, with few defending units.  You can also get a good idea as to how long your scenario will take to complete.
-
-
-Tips:
--Position the center of conflict zones over an open area, as this position will be used to spawn units and FARPs.
--Position the center of staging zones over an open area of at least 1000 x 1000ft to provide space for logistics zones.
--For very scenery dense areas like forests or urban areas, smaller conflict zone sizes are highly recommended (eg 4000ft radius).  A zone center near a roadway may also help keep units moving smoothly. 
--The conflict game type can be played with blue forces on defense.  In this mode the last conflict zone is the only troop pickup zone.
--Design your template so that it can be played in normal 'attacking' mode or 'defending' the conflict zone from enemy ground units starting from the staging zone.
--Keep the zones fairly close together, both for helicopter and ground unit travel times. 
--You can place static objects and units in a scenario template.
--You can change mission briefing and other mission options in the template.
--Drop your templates in the RotorOps Discord if you'd like to have them added in a release for everyone. Maintain a similar naming convention and be sure to credit yourself in the .miz name. 
--Airfields can be captured with ground units.  You might consider placing conflict zones over neutral airfields for a rearming area, or perhaps unarmed client slots. 
--Player/client slots are placed in this priority order:  Carrier named "HELO_CARRIER", FARP named "HELO_FARP", and the blue airfield.
--Friendly AWACs and tankers will be placed at the blue airport if parking is available, otherwise they will start in the air.  
--Enemy helicopters and planes will spawn at the red airport. 
--Late activation FARPs might be useful for rearming far from the player spawn point.
--In "Defense" or with "Swap sides" option, USA and Russia ships, helicopters, planes, and ground units will swap countries. Static objects may not. Test it out.
--Turn off or limit civilian road traffic.
--Pay attention to rivers and bridges, as a far away bridge crossing may break routing if it's the only way across.  See the testing notes above.
-
-v0.6:
-You can now control the FARP spawning location and heading by adding a static object (such as a mark flag) with group name 'ALPHA' etc.  Same for staging area logistics site..but the group name should be 'STAGING'.  Change the object heading to better align with roads or map objects.  The flags for these must be CJTFB country.
-
-You can dynamically insert complex arangements of objects such as large bases with multiplayer spawns.  See the 'Imports' folder for more details.

 # What is RotorOps?
 RotorOps is a mission generator and gameplay script for DCS: World.  At its heart is a game type called Conflict, which requires helicopter operations to win battles on the ground.  This is a territory-capture game that promotes focus on individual 'conflict zones'.
 
 At the core of the RotorOps script are AI enhancements that provide a dynamic ground war by causing automatic conflicts between ground forces and a progression of the front line.

+## Forces Templates
+
+The friendly/enemy forces templates available in the generator are simply .miz files in the Generator/Forces folder.
+
+A Forces template defines the groups of ground units available, AI aircraft, liveries, and loadouts.
+
+To create your own Forces template:
+
+1) Create an empty mission on Caucasus 
+2) Add ground unit groups.
+3) Save the mission in this directory.
+
+Optional:
+
+4) Add helicopters with "CAS" main task for attack helicopters.
+5) Add helicopters with "Transport" main task for transport helicopters.
+6) Add planes with "CAS" main task for attack planes.
+7) Add planes with "CAP" main task for fighters.
+8) Configure loadouts, liveries, and skill for aircraft.
+
+Tips:
+- The mission generator will only extract blue ground units from the template when selected from the "Blue Forces" menu, and vice versa.
+- Only unit types are used from ground units.  Liveries or other attributes are able to be copied.
+- For aircraft, group size is currently capped at 2 units per group to help prevent issues with parking.  Only the first unit in the group is used as a source.

+## Imports
+
+A breakthrough feature of mission design with RotorOps is the ability to import complex arrangements of statics and vehicles.  This allows you to create reusable mission assets like bases, FARPs, objective sites, or just about anything you can imagine building in the mission editor.  You can place these on any map, at your desired point, rotation and coalition!
+
+A selection of FOBs, FARPs, and other objects are available in the Imports folder.  Included are multiplayer FOBs with up to 16 helicopter spawns!  A guide to the included templates is available here:  [RotorOps IMPORT Assets](http://dcs-helicopters.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/RotorOps_IMPORT_TEMPLATES-1.pdf)
+
+
+To use an import template:
+1) Place a static mark flag in the scenario template mission.  
+2) Change the group name to 'IMPORT-filename', where the filename is a .miz file in the Generator/Imports folder.
+3) Change the flag coalition to CJTF Blue/Red or UN Peacekeepers.  
+4) Change the flag heading and position as desired.
+5) Change the flag UNIT NAME to something relevant (ie. 'North Base')
+6) For multiple imports of the same template, the import object GROUP NAME should end with '-01' etc
+
+To create a new import template:
+1) Make an empty mission on Caucasus.
+2) Place units/objects on the map.
+3) Make one unit group name: 'ANCHOR' This will represent the point of insertion/rotation in the target mission. 
+4) Save the template .miz file in Generator/Imports
