This way the results of committing the debriefing can't alter the view
of the debriefing. It looks like it was probably that case that
debriefing information displays (but not the committed results) would be
incorrect after a base capture because the results might be shown after
the results were committed.
Maybe fixes https://github.com/Khopa/dcs_liberation/issues/513
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 allows the players to use the same auto-purchase mechanics that the
AI uses. The behavior is very bad, but it's no worse than what OPFOR
deals with.
There's a lot that needs to be improved before this is really a good
choice for the player:
* Option to adjust budget balance between front lines and airbases.
* Disallow negative budgets (which incidentally will cause more aircraft
to be purchased, since the armor purchases currently accidentally
spend the aircraft budget).
* Buy less randomly: https://github.com/Khopa/dcs_liberation/issues/361.
* Obey parking limits.
* Use the delivery events rather than instant delivery (also allows the
player to cancel orders they don't want).

This adds both player and enemy income multiplier options. Note that
previously the AI was only getting 75% of their income. I've changed
that to give them their full income by default since the player can now
influence it.
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.
Doesn't allow helos or harriers to do it either even though they should
be able to because we don't currently support ground spawns, which would
be needed to prevent those aircraft from using the runway. Even then, I
don't know if they can be forced to *land* vertically.
Fixes https://github.com/Khopa/dcs_liberation/issues/432
Repairing a damaged runway costs $100M and takes 4 turns (one day). The
AI will always repair runways if they can afford it. if a runway is
damaged again during the repair the process must begin again.
Runways are still operational despite what the UI says. Preventing the
player and AI from using damaged runways (except for with helicopters
and harriers) is next.
Generated units are added to this during mission generation so we can
map destroyed units back to the data that generated them. Currently only
implemented for aircraft as a proof of concept.
Breaks save compat, but we need to have this knowledge outside the UI so
we can know whether or not we can ferry aircraft to the airfield without
overflowing parking.
Breaks save compat because it adds new fields to `Flight` that have no
constant default. Removing all of our other save compat at the same
time.
Note that player flights with a divert point will have a nav point for
their actual landing point. This is because we place the divert point
last, and DCS won't let us have a land point anywhere but the final
waypoint. It would allow a LandingReFuAr point, but they're only
generated for player flights anyway so it doesn't really matter.
Fixes https://github.com/Khopa/dcs_liberation/issues/342
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
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.
