* Store a deque rather than an iterator so it can be pickled
* Remove mangling from staticmethod (and rename now that it's no longer
a generator)
* Rename "get" to "alloc" to make the mutation clear
* Move to its own package (the changes I'm working on make this no
longer mission generator specific)
* Remove useless exception class. It's never caught so the unique type
isn't needed
We want other pieces of country information (in particular the short
names). This cleans up a lot of code anyway.
As an added bonus, this now catches squadrons that used invalid names
which would previously be passed through to pydcs and... then I don't
know what would happen.
These are only used during mission generation. Remove them from the save
state to reduce compatibility requirements. We also have at least one
report of this data being corrupted... somehow. I don't know how that
could have happened, but if there's no data to corrupt in the first
place that's not a problem. If the corruption _does_ recur, it'll be
much easier to repro if it corrupts during mission generation rather
than during turn initialization.

This isn't related to the missiongenerator, and importing this file from
some places (such as runway data) will cause a circular reference when
importing the rest of the missiongenerator package.
- 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 the auto planner to task air assault missions when preconditions are met
- Improve Airlift mission type and improve the flightplan (Stopover and Helo landing)
- Allow Slingload and spawnable crates for airlift
- Rework airsupport to a general missiondata class
- Added Carrier Information to mission data
- Allow to define CTLD specific capabilities in the unit yaml
- Allow inflight preload and fixed wing support for air assault
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.
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.
This is the first step in a larger project to add play/pause buttons to
the Liberation UI so the mission can be generated at any point.
docs/design/turnless.md describes the plan.
This adds an option to fast forward the turn to first contact before
generating the mission. None of that is reflected in the UI (for now),
but the miz will be generated with many flights in the air.
For now "first contact" means as soon as any flight reaches its IP. I'll
follow up to add threat checking so that air-to-air combat also triggers
this, as will entering a SAM's threat zone.
This also includes an option to halt fast-forward whenever a player
flight reaches a certain mission-prep phase. This can be used to avoid
fast forwarding past the player's startup time, taxi time, or takeoff
time. By default this option is disabled so player aircraft may start in
the air (possibly even at their IP if they're the first mission to reach
IP).
Fuel states do not currently account for distance traveled during fast
forward. That will come later.
