Improvement for factions and templates which will allow decoupling of the templates from the actual units
- Implement UnitGroup class which matches unit_types and possible templates as the needed abstraction layer for decoupling.
- Refactor UnitType, Add ShipUnitType and all ships we currently use
- Remove serialized template.json and migrated to multiple yaml templates (one for each template) and multiple .miz
- Reorganized a lot of templates and started with generalization of many types (AAA, Flak, SHORAD, Navy)
- Fixed a lot of bugs from the previous reworks (group name generation, strike targets...)
- Reorganized the faction file completly. removed redundant lists, added presets for complex groups / families of units like sams
- Reworked the building template handling. Some templates are unused like "village"
- Reworked how groups from templates can be merged again for the dcs group creation (e.g. the skynet plugin requires them to be in the same group)
- Allow to define alternative tasks
- Factored out the current generators to use a better approach with Templates build from the dcs mission editor.
- This information is extended with a template-mapping in a json file which allows to logically group together multiple dcs groups and even statics to one template
- The combination of mapping and miz will be serialized to a template.json which is only used for loading.
- Factions now load templates during initialization and hold all the templates they can really use. This is based around the faction file.
- Implemented a template randomizer which allows to add some randomization to templates
- Each Template Group can have 1 randomizer which randomizes unit_type and size based on the mapping definition. Larger groups need to be devided in more fine detailed groups as we can now handle them better due to the change from dcs group types to our own classes.
- Rewritten the ArmorGroup, Naval and EWR template handling
Rework GroundObjectBuyMenu to support templates
- completly refactored the way TGO handles groups and replaced the usage of the pydcs ground groups (vehicle, ship, static) with an own Group and Unit class.
- this allows us to only take care of dcs group generation during miz generation, where it should have always been.
- We can now have any type of unit (even statics) in the same logic ground group we handle in liberation. this is independent from the dcs group handling. the dcs group will only be genarted when takeoff is pressed.
- Refactored the unitmap and the scenery object handling to adopt to changes that now TGOs can hold all Units we want.
- Cleaned up many many many lines of uneeded hacks to build stuff around dcs groups.
- Removed IDs for TGOs as the names we generate are unique and for liberation to work we need no ids. Unique IDs for dcs will be generated for the units and groups only.
Resolves#1964 but adding CTLD will require the use of Liberation plugins and thus are not included in this pull request.
- Implemented support for the UH-60L mod by =X51= Kinkkujuustovoileipa, Cubeboy, Jonas, JinxxDCS, Dorian, =X51= Parzival & =X51= Lawson.
- Because the standard DCS tankers will not fly below 160ish knots, the UH-60L mod team have included a modified version of the KC-130 tanker designed for refueling at speeds of 120-130kts.
This exports all the old AIRFIELD_DATA to yaml files. It's easier for
users to send fixes if it's defined this way, and they can also fix it
in their install without having to wait for a new release.
This also switches the indexes from the unstable DCS airfield names to
airfield IDs, so this fixes another case of DCS updates occasionally
breaking Liberation.
I also ended up finding quite a few typos in airfield names, and
incorrect theater names in the process. Those have been fixed.
- added an EarlySA5Generator with the P-19 FlatFace SR which is supported by all factions
- allows factions without access to the TinShield to have a working SA-5
* Initial refueling definitions.
* Adding refuel definitions.
* Initial functionality changes
* Regenerate package when adding refueling flight.
* Recursively change package waypoint.
* Fix mypy errors.
* Regenerate flight plans when tanker is added to package.
* Give tanker better starting position on package recovery.
* Add TOT calculation for refueling waypoint.
* Timing changes to Strike split point and Refueling start time.
* Add correct waypoint builder for refuel in tarcap and sweep. Remove restrict afterburner on refuel point.
* Always generate a refuel point for a package.
* Less arbitrary altitude in Refuel track start time calculation.
* Refueling waypoint no longer optional.
* Fix mypy gen error.
* Better discrimination of which tanker flight plan to make.
* Remove refuel tot calculations.
* Remove package regeneration on tanker flight addition.
Implement custom behavior for some of the flight plans but also add a
base implementation that just returns the empty set.
Use ABC for FlightPlan so that we can fail-fast on these kinds of
problems.
Fixes https://github.com/dcs-liberation/dcs_liberation/issues/1711
This is the first step in a larger project to add play/pause buttons to
the Liberation UI so the mission can be generated at any point.
docs/design/turnless.md describes the plan.
This adds an option to fast forward the turn to first contact before
generating the mission. None of that is reflected in the UI (for now),
but the miz will be generated with many flights in the air.
For now "first contact" means as soon as any flight reaches its IP. I'll
follow up to add threat checking so that air-to-air combat also triggers
this, as will entering a SAM's threat zone.
This also includes an option to halt fast-forward whenever a player
flight reaches a certain mission-prep phase. This can be used to avoid
fast forwarding past the player's startup time, taxi time, or takeoff
time. By default this option is disabled so player aircraft may start in
the air (possibly even at their IP if they're the first mission to reach
IP).
Fuel states do not currently account for distance traveled during fast
forward. That will come later.
https://github.com/dcs-liberation/dcs_liberation/issues/1681
Forces carrier planes with original start_time of zero seconds to have a start time of 1 second. This will prevent them from spawning on the 'sixpack' and functions as a workaround for a DCS problem (deadlock / traffic jam).
Fixes#1309.
The landing waypoints need the airdrome_id field set to actually
associate with the airfield. Without this ferry flights will take off
and immediately land at their departure airfield.
* Use TACAN channels more selectively
* Increase tacan range to 126
* Use pytest and add workflow
* Skip faction tests due to outdated test data
* Run mypy on tests directory also
* Use iterators for bands AND usages, add tests
