- 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
A user would be able to sell a complete damaged TGO for the price of a new one as the value calculation function was not taking care if the unit was dead or alive. This fix now only takes alive units into account for the actual value of the tgo
- 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
- Fix tgogenerator
- Fix UI for ForceGroup and Layouts
- Fix ammo depot handling
- Split bigger files in smaller meaningful files (TGO, layouts, forces)
- Renamed Template to Layout
- Renamed GroundGroup to TheaterGroup and GroundUnit to TheaterUnit
- Reorganize Layouts and UnitGroups to a ArmedForces class and ForceGroup similar to the AirWing and Squadron
- Reworded the UnitClass, GroupRole, GroupTask (adopted to PEP8) and reworked the connection from Role and Task
- added comments
- added missing unit classes
- added temp workaround for missing classes
- add repariable property to TheaterUnit
- Review and Cleanup
Added serialization for loaded templates
Loading the templates from the .miz files takes a lot of computation time and in the future there will be more templates added to the system. Therefore a local pickle serialization for the loaded templates was re-added:
- The pickle will be created the first time the TemplateLoader will be accessed
- Pickle is stored in Liberation SaveDir
- Added UI option to (re-)import templates
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.
This appears to be incompatible with pyinstaller. I get the following
when trying to run the executable generated with pyside6:
```

Much of the UI was using the old budget which wasn't removed from Game
like it should have been when Coaltion was introduced. The UI displayed
(and in some cases pulled from) the starting budget rather than the real
budget.
Updating the game destroys this window so we cannot continue with the
calls. It worked in my initial testing, so presumably it's partly
dependent on when the finalizers run.
Since the windows will be destroyed there's nothing for us to actually
update, so just remove that signal and the explicit close calls.

Enable buying and selling of armor groups. Don't allow armor groups to
be replaced with air defenses or vice versa. These are a different TGO
type and this has always been a thing that will break the flight
planner.
Just emit the signal to update the budget rather than trying to figure
out the heirarchy of the UI.

To improve IADS design in campaigns, this differentiates required long
and medium range SAMs. SAMs that must be long range SAMs are defined by
SA-10 or Patriot launchers, while medium range SAMs are defined by SA-2,
SA-3, or Hawk launchers.
Long range SAMs positions will only be populated by long range SAMs
(Patriots and SA-10s), and not all factions have those available. Medium
range SAMs currently comprise all air defenses that are not long range
SAMs, so if the faction includes flak guns in their `sams` property then
flak guns may be spawned at medium range SAM locations.
Base defenses and random SAM locations continue to use either type of
SAM.
