This isn't actually the data that callers usually want. Most of the
callers just want the bounds. The heading and length are trivially
computed from that. Add a class to contain the result so it's easier to
refactor.
Fixed (zombie) carrier killed in state.json but always respawning in-game, issue #2405. GenericCarrierGenerator.generate() will now generate the ship group with an array that only contains alive ship units, just like GroundObjectGenerator.generate() has previously done.
Carrier groups will now also show up as destroyed/damaged on the map when the carrier is sunk.
It replaces the FRONTLINE_LENGTH constant, which was used previously. The default setting for the frontline length has been set to match the FRONTLINE_LENGTH value (80 km), but I feel the default should be a bit shorter. Discussion on the topic would be welcome.
- 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 inflight preload and fixed wing support for air assault
- Added the CTLD script
- Removed the previous jtacautolase script
- Updated the configuration to allow the JTACAutoLase function to work
- Added the JTac name, freq and mod to the lua
- Break down the remaining Anti Air Layouts. Now each layout.miz only contains 1 layout
- Added a python script which can fix the orientation of a layout
- Fix layout orientation. Now all aa layouts are oriented to the north.
- Add small change so that whole carrier group will be rotated correctly with the BRC
closes#2215
- 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)
* Fix suicide SEAD flights (diving to the SAM)
additional fix for #2152. This sets the Target Waypoint ALT to the Ingress ALT for non player flights. Player flights will have the target waypoint set to 0 AGL so that they can slave weapons or TGP to it.
* Add GroupAttack to SEAD so that they suppress more
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
- 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
* Improve Ingress WP attack tasking and update pydcs
- Updated the Attack Tasking of SEAD, DEAD, Strike and BAI to match the pydcs changes
- Changed DEAD, BAI and SEAD AttackGroup task to expend=auto. This solves an issue where the AI uses all Ammo on one single target as we defined the expend param to All instead of Auto which is used by default.
* Set Expend=All for SEAD Ingress
This ensures that the AI will only do one Attack Pass and also really suppress the Target what they are expected to do.
- This adds the information about the modulation of the RadioFrequency.
- Updated all Radios with the capabale modulation
- Show Modulation on Kneeboard
- Defaulting to AM Modulation as this is also the default used by pydcs.
- Force AM Modulation for JTAC tasking
We currently do not force the modulation in the code anywhere other than JTAC. Pydcs defaults to AM (modulation=0). So this change is more a preparation for upcoming features which allow to use more frequencies like VHF FM or similar.
SEAD flights will have the Search and Engage Group Task instead of the current AttackGroup task when the flight has ARM weapons in the Loadout. This resolves an issue with AI not able to attack a SAM when skynet is used. This is due to the RADAR not emitting and the AI therefore just diving into the SAM.
Non-ARM Loadouts will still use the AttackGroup task. This ensures that for example the ADM-141 TALD used by the F-14s will work correctly
- Add additional naming method to naming.py
- JTACs now use the ALPHA_MILITARY. So first JTAC is called JTAC Alpha, 2nd JTAC is called JTAC Bravo and so on
fixes#2120
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.
Fixes https://github.com/dcs-liberation/dcs_liberation/issues/2078.
During package planning we don't care about the details of the flight
plan, just the layout (to check if the layout is threatened and we need
escorts). Splitting these will allow us to reduce the amount of work
that must be done in each loop of the planning phase, potentially
caching attempted flight plans between loops.
Split the oversized file into one per plan type. This also moves the
layout responsibility out of the oversized FlightPlanBuilder and into
each flight plan type file.
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 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
