# LUA Plugin system
|
|
|
|
This plugin system was made for injecting LUA scripts in dcs-liberation missions.
|
|
|
|
The resources for the plugins are stored in the `resources/plugins` folder ; each plugin has its own folder.
|
|
|
|
## Standard plugins
|
|
|
|
### The *base* plugin
|
|
|
|
The *base* plugin contains the scripts that are going to be injected in every dcs-liberation missions.
|
|
It is mandatory.
|
|
|
|
### The *JTACAutolase* plugin
|
|
|
|
This plugin replaces the vanilla JTAC functionality in dcs-liberation.
|
|
|
|
### The *VEAF framework* plugin
|
|
|
|
When enabled, this plugin will inject and configure the VEAF Framework scripts in the mission.
|
|
|
|
These scripts add a lot of runtime functionalities :
|
|
|
|
- spawning of units and groups (and portable TACANs)
|
|
- air-to-ground missions
|
|
- air-to-air missions
|
|
- transport missions
|
|
- carrier operations (not Moose)
|
|
- tanker move
|
|
- weather and ATC
|
|
- shelling a zone, lighting it up
|
|
- managing assets (tankers, awacs, aircraft carriers) : getting info, state, respawning them if needed
|
|
- managing named points (position, info, ATC)
|
|
- managing a dynamic radio menu
|
|
- managing remote calls to the mission through NIOD (RPC) and SLMOD (LUA sockets)
|
|
- managing security (not allowing everyone to do every action)
|
|
- define groups templates
|
|
|
|
For more information, please visit the [VEAF Framework documentation site](https://veaf.github.io/VEAF-Mission-Creation-Tools/) (work in progress)
|
|
|
|
## Custom plugins
|
|
|
|
Custom scripts can also be injected by dropping them in the `resources/plugins/custom` folder, and writing a `__plugins.lst` file listing them in order.
|
|
See the `__plugins.lst.sample` file for an example.
|
|
|
|
## New settings pages
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Custom plugins can be enabled or disabled in the new *LUA Plugins* settings page.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For plugins which expose specific options (such as "use smoke" for the *JTACAutoLase* plugin), the *LUA Plugins Options* settings page lists these options.
