Update MissionGenerator.exe for release
For users:
-Added KA-50 III and AV8BNA Harrier to slot selection
-Changed message in mission generated success dialog
-Zone protect SAMs now part of 'Advanced Defenses' feature
-Late activated friendly/enemy CAP units are placed in mission as a template for Deployed CAP fighters (ie will not be active unless using Advanced Defenses or 'DEPLOY_FIGHTERS' name for radar ground unit)
-improve idle troop behavior at bases/FARPs
For Mission creators:
-Updated pydcs library supports new units such as technicals
-Updated pydcs library supports Falklands map
-allow troop pickup from HELO_CARRIER
-enemy units with radar can be designated to deploy intercept fighters on detection (see RotorOps.fighter options in RotorOps.lua for details) with options for min detection altitude and distance (min detection altitude allows helis to fly 'under the radar')
-Insert RotorOpsServer.lua script and trigger actions if option set in scenario config: rotorops_server: true
-scenario template triggers should now be 'untouched' after mission generation, allowing previously unsupported triggers and actions to be used, along with color coding
-block adding player helicopters if slots locked in scenario config
-Added RotorOps.draw_conflict_zones setting to give users the ability to disable or enable displaying of zones on the map.
-allow disabling spinboxes in scenario config
-mission ends 10 mins after mission success/fail
-copy helicopter start type from templates
Internal:
-github actions workflow to automatically deploy to update server
-Startup version check will ignore micro version
-bypassing triggers and merging before save (to preserve unsupported triggers in pydcs). Our goal is to leave the trigrules and trig from the source mission untouched
-if using random weather, set ice halo to auto and crystals to none
-dont put planes at airports without ILS (to avoid putting planes at helicopter airports ie. Syria)
