Forcegroups were not loaded correctly from preset groups during faction initialization. When a user created a new game and directly after that created another game with different factions the Forcegroups for the preset groups were still reused and therefore units which were not accessible by the faction were accidently available to the new faction.
closes#2186
This will allow to automatically calculate the orientation of TGOs which are required to head to the conflict if the campaign designer has not defined a specific heading in the campaign miz. This is for example required for silkworm, scuds or some SAM systems like the SA-11.
Added the should_head_to_conflict property to the TGO
Instead of giving an error when a mission type which was added to the squadron is not defined in the Ai autoplanner db for the aircraft the user should be able to task the aircraft accordingly.
- Moved logic from TGO to TheaterGroup and Unit, cleanup
- Fixed an issue with wrong radar threat zone calculation
- Correctly handle dead and alive units in threat calculation (dead units are no more threats...)
- Fixed wrong air_defenses threat zone used for planning (now uses aa-capable tgos instead of all tgos for the CP)
- Remove the might_have_aa property from TGOs and actually check if there is any aa-capable unit present (this is needed as with the recent tgo refactor all type of TGOs can also have anti air units if they have some defined in the layout)
* Fix suicide SEAD flights (diving to the SAM)
additional fix for #2152. This sets the Target Waypoint ALT to the Ingress ALT for non player flights. Player flights will have the target waypoint set to 0 AGL so that they can slave weapons or TGP to it.
* Add GroupAttack to SEAD so that they suppress more
Now the user can override special skynet properties from the unit.yaml of the main Radar of the sam site. Which unit needs these overrides can be looked up over here: https://github.com/walder/Skynet-IADS/blob/develop/skynet-iads-source/skynet-iads-supported-types.lua
- fixed wrong exclusion of groups with the first unit dead but still able to participate
- added some exception handling in the lua script for groups which skynet is not able to control. preventing scripting errors
- factor out own class for the iadsnetwork within the conflicttheater
- This class will handle all Skynet related things - no specific group_name handling necessary in future
- make iadsbuilding own TGO class because SAM & EWRs are Vehicle Groups. IADS Elements dont have any groups attached.
- added command center, connection node and power source as Ground objects which can be added by the campaign designer
- adjust lua generator to support new iads units
- parse the campaign yaml to get the iads network information
- use the range as fallback if no yaml information was found
- complete rewrite of the skynet lua script
- allow destruction of iads network to be persistent over all rounds
- modified the presetlocation handling: the wrapper PresetLocation for PointWithHeading now stores the original name from the campaign miz to have the ability to process campaign yaml configurations based on the ground unit
- Implementation of the UI representation for the IADS Network
- Give user the option to enable or disable advanced iads
- Extended the layout system: Implement Sub task handling to support PD
- cleaned up the generation
- created special class to handle the serialization
- improved string escaping: Replace OS Path separator with normal slash and allow the usage of a single quote in unit names by changing the delimiter to double quote instead (1797)
- adjusted unit_name generation to prevent scripting errors with unescaped characters
* Improve Ingress WP attack tasking and update pydcs
- Updated the Attack Tasking of SEAD, DEAD, Strike and BAI to match the pydcs changes
- Changed DEAD, BAI and SEAD AttackGroup task to expend=auto. This solves an issue where the AI uses all Ammo on one single target as we defined the expend param to All instead of Auto which is used by default.
* Set Expend=All for SEAD Ingress
This ensures that the AI will only do one Attack Pass and also really suppress the Target what they are expected to do.
- This adds the information about the modulation of the RadioFrequency.
- Updated all Radios with the capabale modulation
- Show Modulation on Kneeboard
- Defaulting to AM Modulation as this is also the default used by pydcs.
- Force AM Modulation for JTAC tasking
We currently do not force the modulation in the code anywhere other than JTAC. Pydcs defaults to AM (modulation=0). So this change is more a preparation for upcoming features which allow to use more frequencies like VHF FM or similar.
Added AntiShipMissile unit class and updated the hy_launcher unit as well as the silkworm layout to differentiate clearly between missile (scud, v1) and antiship (silkworm)
fixes#2159
SEAD flights will have the Search and Engage Group Task instead of the current AttackGroup task when the flight has ARM weapons in the Loadout. This resolves an issue with AI not able to attack a SAM when skynet is used. This is due to the RADAR not emitting and the AI therefore just diving into the SAM.
Non-ARM Loadouts will still use the AttackGroup task. This ensures that for example the ADM-141 TALD used by the F-14s will work correctly
- Add additional naming method to naming.py
- JTACs now use the ALPHA_MILITARY. So first JTAC is called JTAC Alpha, 2nd JTAC is called JTAC Bravo and so on
fixes#2120
Like with most other GroundObjects now the Buildings also will use the Heading defined in the campaign miz and will place and rotate the generated TGO accordingly there.
- Give user information about the heading of a TGO
- Add a button to change the heading to head to conflic
- Change the orientation of a TGO during Buy
- Run the heading to conflict calculation to change the orientation of the newly bought group. It will then head to the center of the conflict
ForceGroup loading failed due to wrong unit parsing and prevented factions without naval units to load before the first faction with naval units got loaded (this affected the Allies 1940 and 44 factions)
The new introduced layout system extends the mission generation so that a campaign designer can now define the heading of the ground objects which will be also used later in mission generation to orient the group accordingly. This removes the randomization of the orientation from the generation.
Most campaigns will not need any updates and will work out of the box.
added the fill property to the layout groups which allows to specify if a optional layout group should be filled with a faction accessible unit if it was not defined by the preset groups. This is usefull to allow more generalized templates which for example may or may not have a Search Radar without adding one to all layouts (example: Rapier and Roland Sites which use the generic SHORAD layout)
this fixes an issue which prevented optional units like logistics to be added to the forcegroup if they were not defined in the preset group yaml
This allows unique identification across saves. The front-end needs to
be able to differentiate the first carrier in game A and the first
carrier in game B, but because carriers (and other non-airfield CPs) are
assigned IDs sequentially, collisions were to be expected. The front-end
can't tell the difference between a reloaded game and a new turn, so we
need to ensure different IDs across games.
This is a handy cleanup anyway, since callers constructing CPs no longer
need to manually track the CP ID counter.
Fixes https://github.com/dcs-liberation/dcs_liberation/issues/2078.
During package planning we don't care about the details of the flight
plan, just the layout (to check if the layout is threatened and we need
escorts). Splitting these will allow us to reduce the amount of work
that must be done in each loop of the planning phase, potentially
caching attempted flight plans between loops.
Split the oversized file into one per plan type. This also moves the
layout responsibility out of the oversized FlightPlanBuilder and into
each flight plan type file.
It would probably be more accurate to have the icon based on the
aircraft type and use the modifier to indicate the mission, but this
will do for now (I also might have that backwards, I can't find the
guidance because it's in STANAG 1241 which isn't free).
I also increased the icon size a bit in the UI because the longest icon
text ("SEAD") was hard to read.
