The only parts of the old weapon data that worked well (didn't commonly
result in empty pylons) did this implicitly, so make the grouping
explicit.
This also moves the data out of Python and into the resources, which
both makes the data moddable and isolates us from a huge amount of
effort and a save compat break whenever ED changes weapon names.
I didn't auto migrate the old data since the old groups were not
explict and there's no way to infer the grouping. Besides, since most of
the weapons were *not* grouped, the old data did more harm than good in
my experience. I've handled the AIM-120 and AIM-7 for now, but will get
at least all the fox 3 missiles before we ship.
This improves the AI behavior by choosing the stances non-randomly:
* Breakthrough will be used if the base is expected to be capturable and
the coalition outnumbers the enemy by 20%.
* Elimination will be used if the coalition has at least as many units
as the enemy.
* Defensive will be used if the coalition has at least half as many
units as the enemy.
* Retreat will be used if the coalition is significantly outnumbers.
This also exposes the option to the player.
This alters the DEAD task planning to be the *least* preferred task, but
prevents other tasks from being planned unless they are excepted to be
clear of air defenses first. Even so, missions are a guaranteed success
so those other missions will still get SEAD escorts if there's potential
for a SAM in the area.
This means that air defenses that are not protecting a more useful
target (like a convoy, armor column, building, etc) will no longer be
considered by the mission planner. This isn't *quite* right since we
currently only check the target area for air defenses rather than the
entire flight plan, so there's a chance that we ignore IADS that have
threatened ingress points (though that's mostly solved by the flight
plan layout).
This also is still slightly limited because it's not checking for
aircraft availability at this stage yet, so we may aggressively plan
missions that we should be skipping unless we can guarantee that the
DEAD mission was planned. However, that's not new behavior.
* Implements #1399
* Reverting accidental change in generate_landmap.py
* Changelog update
* Import beacon data for Marianas.

Aircraft that have no loadouts at all (such as the IL-78M) will have no
loadouts and thus no values in the dropdown menu. If the player toggles
the custom layout box we reset the flight's loadout to the selected
loadout, and with no loadouts in the combo box that is None, and
`Flight.loadout` isn't supposed to be optional.
Check for that case in the loadout selector and replace with an empty
loadout if that happens.
Fixes https://github.com/dcs-liberation/dcs_liberation/issues/1402
- added information about the role of the aa site
- moved handling of ground name from tgo to the sam generator to make the tgo cleaner
- adjusted the skynet-config lua to the changes
This doesn't currently interact very well with the auto purchase since
the procurer might by aircraft that don't have pilots available. That
should be fixed, but for the short term we should just default to not
enabling this new feature.
* Fixes#1310 by only refunding GUs if no faction CP has an attached factory. Previously it would refund all units at the CP, including aircraft.
Also changes the CP CAPTURE cheat to work at any CP regardless of adjacency to frontline or BLUEFOR/OPFOR state.
* Fixing typing issues, changint all Dict[] types to dict[]
* Updating changelog
If these orders can't be fulfilled for the faction it will prevent the
faction from ordering any non-reserve aircraft since transports are
given priority after reserve missions, and they'll never be fulfillable.
As such, no non-reserve aircraft will ever be purchased for factions
without transport aircraft.
Factions without transport aircraft are screwed in other ways, but this
will fix their air planning for campaigns that aren't dependent on
airlift.
Mod selection is now done via checkbox in the new game wizard.
The MB-339 is being turned into a paid module, and the free mod no longer works, so it's been removed.
We were doignt his for escorts, but now that we quit planning as soon as
we find an unplannable mission (to save money for higher priority
missions), if we hit an early unplannable mission like BARCAP no other
missions wil be planned.
Maybe fixes https://github.com/dcs-liberation/dcs_liberation/issues/1228
