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
- completly refactored the way TGO handles groups and replaced the usage of the pydcs ground groups (vehicle, ship, static) with an own Group and Unit class.
- this allows us to only take care of dcs group generation during miz generation, where it should have always been.
- We can now have any type of unit (even statics) in the same logic ground group we handle in liberation. this is independent from the dcs group handling. the dcs group will only be genarted when takeoff is pressed.
- Refactored the unitmap and the scenery object handling to adopt to changes that now TGOs can hold all Units we want.
- Cleaned up many many many lines of uneeded hacks to build stuff around dcs groups.
- Removed IDs for TGOs as the names we generate are unique and for liberation to work we need no ids. Unique IDs for dcs will be generated for the units and groups only.
This exports all the old AIRFIELD_DATA to yaml files. It's easier for
users to send fixes if it's defined this way, and they can also fix it
in their install without having to wait for a new release.
This also switches the indexes from the unstable DCS airfield names to
airfield IDs, so this fixes another case of DCS updates occasionally
breaking Liberation.
I also ended up finding quite a few typos in airfield names, and
incorrect theater names in the process. Those have been fixed.
* Initial refueling definitions.
* Adding refuel definitions.
* Initial functionality changes
* Regenerate package when adding refueling flight.
* Recursively change package waypoint.
* Fix mypy errors.
* Regenerate flight plans when tanker is added to package.
* Give tanker better starting position on package recovery.
* Add TOT calculation for refueling waypoint.
* Timing changes to Strike split point and Refueling start time.
* Add correct waypoint builder for refuel in tarcap and sweep. Remove restrict afterburner on refuel point.
* Always generate a refuel point for a package.
* Less arbitrary altitude in Refuel track start time calculation.
* Refueling waypoint no longer optional.
* Fix mypy gen error.
* Better discrimination of which tanker flight plan to make.
* Remove refuel tot calculations.
* Remove package regeneration on tanker flight addition.
The landing waypoints need the airdrome_id field set to actually
associate with the airfield. Without this ferry flights will take off
and immediately land at their departure airfield.
This is needed fairly often, and we have a lot of Game being passed
around to ControlPoint methods specifically to support this. Just store
the owning Coalition directly in the ControlPoint to clean up. I haven't
cleaned up *every* API here, but did that aircraft allocations as an
example.
* Addresses #478, adding a heading class to represent headings and angles
Removed some unused code
* Fixing bad merge
* Formatting
* Fixing type issues and other merge resolution misses
Consider BAI missions planned this turn when determining if a control
point is still garrisioned for preventing breakthrough.
This isn't very accurate yet since the HTN isn't checking for aircraft
fulfillment yet, so it might *plan* a mission to kill the garrison, but
there's no way to know if it will be fulfilled.
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 is as much as we can do until pydcs actually adds the py.typed
file. Once that's added there are a few ugly monkey patching corners
that will just need `# type: ignore` for now, but we can't pre-add those
since we have mypy warning us about superfluous ignore comments.
This is an attempt to remove a lot of our supposedly unnecessary error
handling. Every aircraft should have a price, a description, a name,
etc; and none of those should require carrying around the faction's
country as context.
This moves all the data for aircraft into yaml files (only one converted
here as an example). Most of the "extended unit info" isn't actually
being read yet.
To replace the renaming of units based on the county, we instead
generate multiple types of each unit when necessary. The CF-18 is just
as much a first-class type as the F/A-18 is.
This doesn't work in its current state because it does break all the
existing names for aircraft that are used in the faction and squadron
files, and we no longer let those errors go as a warning. It will be an
annoying one time switch, but it allows us to define the names that get
used in these files instead of being sensitive to changes as they happen
in pydcs, and allows faction designers to specifically choose, for
example, the Su-22 instead of the Su-17.
One thing not handled by this is aircraft task capability. This is
because the lists in ai_flight_planner_db.py are a priority list, and to
move it out to a yaml file we'd need to assign a weight to it that would
be used to stack rank each aircraft. That's doable, but it makes it much
more difficult to see the ordering of aircraft at a glance, and much
more annoying to move aircraft around in the priority list. I don't
think this is worth doing, and the priority lists will remain in their
own separate lists.
This includes the converted I used to convert all the old unit info and
factions to the new format. This doesn't need to live long, but we may
want to reuse it in the future so we want it in the version history.
This Pull Request lets users plan Tanker flights.
Features:
- Introduction of `Refueling` flight type.
- Tankers can be purchased at airbases and carriers.
- Tankers get planned by AI.
- Tankers are planned from airbases and at aircraft carriers.
- Tankers aim to be at high, fast, and 70 miles from the nearest threat.
(A10s won't be able to tank)
- Tankers racetrack orbit for one hour.
- Optional Tickbox to enable legacy tankers.
- S-3B Tanker added to factions.
- KC-130 MPRS added to factions.
- Kneeboard shows planned tankers, their tacans, and radios.
Limitations:
- AI doesn't know whether to plan probe and drogue or boom refueling
tankers.
- User can't choose tanker speed. Heavily loaded aircraft may have
trouble.
- User can't choose tanker altitude. A-10s will not make it to high
altitude.
Problems:
- Tanker callsigns do not increment, see attached image. (Investigated:
Need to use `FlyingType.callsign_dict`, instead of just
`FlyingType.callsign`. This seems like it might be significant work
to do.).
- Having a flight of two or more tankers only spawns one tanker.
- Let me know if you have a solution, or feel free to commit one.
