This didn't do what it claimed to (it actually just determines the
threshold for whether a control point shoudl be a *preferred* canidate
for purchasing ground units), and the income multipliers offer the
intended behavior.
To have an effect on turn zero these need to be enabled in the wizard.
Since the last page was getting quite full I've split it into two pages:
one for the objective generation options and a second for the difficulty
and player assist options.
I also added an option to set the inital budget for opfor.
The procurement AI now uses the same system as the players. Orders are
placed and take a turn to fulfill.
This has a few advantages:
* We no longer need special case purchase logic for the turn 0
population of opfor airbases.
* Players using auto-purchase can cancel orders they don't like.
Fixes https://github.com/Khopa/dcs_liberation/issues/473. Air defenses
for bases, strike locations, and fixed IADS will now all downgrade to
lower tier systems as needed. Strike locations will still be spawned as
an equally weighted random generator from either the medium or long
range groups, but will use a short range system if none are available to
the faction.
I've made the change in a way that leaves factions compatible, but will
follow up to clean up our built-in factions.
Mostly fixes https://github.com/Khopa/dcs_liberation/issues/473. The
last part of the fix is to migrate the `shorads` property of the faction
to just be in `sams` and just use the property to decide its use.
Currently factions like USA 2005 that have long range SAMs and SHORADs
only will still not spawn anything at medium sites because they have no
other SAMs declared.
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.
The AI isn't making use of these yet, but it's not smart enough to do so
anyway.
Would benefit from an icon to differentiate it on the map.
I'm stretching the definition of "control point" quite a bit. We might
want to put a class above `ControlPoint` for `AirSpawnLocation` to
represent types of spawn locations that can't be captured and don't have
ground objectives.
Fixes https://github.com/Khopa/dcs_liberation/issues/274
"Required" SAMs (designative by redfor long range SAM launchers in the
ME) will always be spawned during campaign generation. This makes it
possible to build a semi-guaranteed IADS (the exact type of SAM is
dependent) on the choice of faction.
Requierd SAMs will consume the slots of random SAMs during generation.
Later we should differentiate between strategic SAMs like SA-10s and
tactical SAMs like SA-11s so we can fill in the medium range SAMs at
random locations among the fixed long range SAMs.
When a base is captured we clear its defenses. Those locations need to
be returned to the preset location pool so they can be used for the new
base defenses.
We currently have three methods of choosing locations for TGOs:
1. From the campaign miz
2. From the per-CP mizdata files
3. Randomly
Move the selection among these sources into a single place and use it
everywhere that we search for a TGO location.
Longer term methods 2 and 3 will be removed.
Defining a campaign using a miz file instead of as JSON has a number of
advantages:
* Much easier for players to mod their campaigns.
* Easier to see the big picture of how objective locations will be laid
out, since every control point can be seen at once.
* No need to associate objective locations to control points explicitly;
the campaign generator can claim objectives for control points based
on distance.
* Easier to create an IADS that performs well.
* Non-random campaigns are easier to make.
The downside is duplication across campaigns, and a less structured data
format for complex objects. The former is annoying if we have to fix a
bug that appears in a dozen campaigns. It's less an annoyance for
needing to start from scratch since the easiest way to create a campaign
will be to copy the "full" campaign for the given theater and prune it.
So far I've implemented control points, base defenses, and front lines.
Still need to add support for non-base defense TGOs.
This currently doesn't do anything for the `radials` property of the
`ControlPoint` because I'm not sure what those are.
