- Add the new airassault mission type and special flightplans for it
- Add the mission type to airbase and FOB
- Add Layout for the UH-1H
- Add mission type to capable squadrons
- Allow the auto planner to task air assault missions when preconditions are met
- Improve Airlift mission type and improve the flightplan (Stopover and Helo landing)
- Allow Slingload and spawnable crates for airlift
- Rework airsupport to a general missiondata class
- Added Carrier Information to mission data
- Allow to define CTLD specific capabilities in the unit yaml
- Allow inflight preload and fixed wing support for air assault
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
- 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)
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
- 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
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.

Still more could be done here by caching the merged poly at the theater
level, but this goes a long way.
Aircraft commit regions are already cached (in the FlightState), so
those are already fairly fast. The combined A2A commit boundary could
also potentially be cached at the theater level.

Pickle can't deal with loading sets (and probably dicts) of objects with
custom __hash__ functions that depend on their state because __hash__
can be called before __setstate__. Make the hash function stupider (but
still correct) by just relying on the object ID.
The UI needs to be able to identify these to the server and vice versa,
so they'll need IDs that don't change. Rather than constructing an ID
based on the control points names, make them an owned part of the
control point. The constructed ID would be fine, but a UUID will make
them more suitable for the database, and this was always fairly gross
anyway.
Some follow up work if anyone is interested: a bunch of the data that's
computed in the various properties can now probably be computed *once*
and persisted to the FrontLine type.
This gets us out of the business of maintaining our own icons. The
milsymbol library generates the SVG data needed to display anything
covered by APP-6.
This is briefly moving us over to my fork of pydcs while we wait for
https://github.com/pydcs/dcs/pull/206 to be merged. The adaptation is
invasive enough that I don't want it lingering for long.

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.
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.
