The special handling is not required anymore as we now rotate the whole TGO to head towards the conflict if the campaign designer has not defined any specific heading
This allows to define if a unit should be placed backwards in the generated mission. This is required for example for the SA-11/SA-17 or Silkworm Launchers.
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
- 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
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)
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
- adopted to review comments
- removed the role from layouts
- reworked the Groups within the layouts
- added more documentation
- rebased to latest changes
- 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
