Readme changes, new debug fnc, fixes, tweaks Created disclaimer for DMS. Now mentioning that HC for DMS isn't that good. Some structure stuff in readme (let's see if it works lol) * **NEW CONFIG VALUE: DMS_Use_Map_Config** * You can now overwrite "main config values" with map-specific config values located in the new "map_configs" folder. This should allow you to use one DMS PBO if you have multiple servers with different maps. Included examples for Altis, Bornholm, Esseker, and Tavi (Taviana). * Because of the above implementation, DMS by default will not include the salt flats blacklist for findSafePos. In addition, it is preconfigured to the hilly terrains in Esseker and Taviana, as well as reducing all of the blacklist distances due to the smaller map size in Esseker. * Created new function "DMS_fnc_DebugLog". All DMS files (that produced debug logs) have been changed, including mission files. However, updating them is not important (and completely pointless if you don't even use DMS_DEBUG). * Fixed a few locations where it said "sized" instead of "seized". Thanks to [icomrade](https://github.com/icomrade) for pointing them out. * DMS now utilizes the "ARMA_LOG" DLL (if it exists) by infiSTAR to produce debug logs (if enabled). All debug logs now also include server uptime (in seconds) and server FPS. * The FSM no longer produces debug logs. * AI Locality manager will now run every minute. * Debug logs for "DMS_fnc_MissionsMonitor" will only output the mission name and the position, instead of all of the parameters. * "DMS_fnc_IsNearWater" will now check the provided position itself for water. * "DMS_fnc_IsValidPosition" will now do a surfaceNormal check within a 5 meter radius of the provided position as well. * "_customGearSet" should now actually work for "DMS_fnc_SpawnAISoldier", and the function title comment has been updated for the slightly tweaked syntax.

####Read the instructions carefully. Before leaving any questions regarding DMS, please read through the [DMS "config.sqf"](https://github.com/Defent/DMS_Exile/blob/master/%40ExileServer/addons/a3_dms/config.sqf?ts=4); the majority of the questions we receive are answered (directly or indirectly) by the config.

However, creating such a mission system takes a lot of time and testing. We (the authors of DMS) are not perfect, and as a result, there may be bugs, glitches, and/or errors within DMS. We appreciate your co-operation in identifying and resolving such issues to improve DMS; however we are not liable for any issues resulting from the usage of DMS on/by your server. We are also not liable to help you in resolving any issues that may arise, although we may attempt to help you to some degree in most cases.

Say bye-bye to the pre-packed PBO ;) #### November 14, 2015 (8:30 PM CST-America): * **NEW CONFIG VALUES:** DMS_AllowStaticReinforcements DMS_MarkerText_ShowAICount_Static DMS_PredefinedMissionLocations_WEIGHTED DMS_AIKill_DistanceBonusMinDistance DMS_AIKill_DistanceBonusCoefficient * You can now manually disable Static Mission AI reinforcements using "DMS_AllowStaticReinforcements" * You can now choose whether or not to show AI count for map markers for both Static and Dynamic missions separately. * DMS will now check to see if the config.sqf didn't load properly, and for the presence of RyanZombies. * You can now make predefined locations weighted. * Some optimization + code clarity. * Added ```taviana_config.sqf``` (identical to ```tavi_config.sqf```) for the latest version of Taviana. * **saltflats mission**: * The AI will now initially spawn randomly across the compound. This should help with the issue of some AI spawning outside of the compound. * Added more static guns: 4 around the flagpole (5 meters north, south, east, and west). One on top of the tower in each corner, and another on the top of the concrete water tower. * When an AI group is offloaded to a client and he gets out of range AND no other viable client is found, the AI locality should now revert to the server (it used to just stay with the original client). * Added extra measures to prevent the creation of 2 markers with the same name. * fn_FillCrate.sqf: * Fixed the issue where DMS would complain about incorrect parameters when using custom code to generate loot. * DMS now has debug logging to tell you exactly what it spawns in the crate when using a crate case or custom code. * "DMS_PredefinedMissionLocations" itself will now be shuffled when finding a position. This should make the generated positions even more random. * Added new Group Reinforcement Types: "armed_vehicle_replace" and "static_gunner" * Potentially resolved the issue with launchers not being deleted from AI bodies when they're killed sometimes. * **fn_PlayerAwardOnAIKill.sqf**: Created a separate function to handle poptabs/respect of a player when he/she kills an AI. * Added a "distance bonus" for respect when killing AI. * Added logging for player rewards on AI kills. * DMS now lets Exile's body cleanup handle dead AIs. * Fixed the issue where DMS would spawn static missions even when "DMS_StaticMission" is set to false. * fn_SetAILocality.sqf now returns true/false if it does/doesn't find an owner. * New function "fn_SpawnAIGroup_MultiPos.sqf". Almost identical to SpawnAIGroup, except it spawns each AI along a list of locations. * **Removed the pre-packed PBO. Too many people were having issues with their PBO tool removing the prefix and repacking it would result in DMS not working.**

DMS will work "out-of-the-box" for almost any map. You have to keep in mind that if the map is too small (such as Stratis), then you will need to reduce the [Mission spawn location settings](https://github.com/Defent/DMS_Exile/blob/master/%40ExileServer/addons/a3_dms/config.sqf?ts=4). Also, for especially hilly maps (such as Panthera), you will need to reduce the [Minimum surfaceNormal](https://github.com/Defent/DMS_Exile/blob/master/%40ExileServer/addons/a3_dms/config.sqf?ts=4) (the config value is automatically adjusted for some maps. You can check the [map configs](https://github.com/Defent/DMS_Exile/tree/master/%40ExileServer/addons/a3_dms/map_configs) to see the adjusted config value overwrites).

Big thank you to [JamieKG from Eternal Gamer](http://eternal-gamer.com/) and Torndeco. * **New static mission: "slums"** * Credit for the base goes to [William from Refugees of the Fallen](http://refugeesofthefallen.enjin.com/) * Spawns 2 crates at 2 different locations from a list of 5 locations. * No AI vehicles, only infantry (introduces Close Quarters Combat) * Added to Altis by default. * Static bases can now be imported on server startup instead of mission spawns. Enabled by default for saltflats and slums. * Increased "DMS_MissionTimeoutResetRange" from 1000 to 1500. * Removed the Navid from config (MG AI and box weapons). * Edited panthera3_config to reduce SpawnZoneNear and TraderZoneNear blacklists. * Edited "blackhawkdown" and "donthasslethehoff" missions to use a slightly different heli wreck classname. * Increased marker circle diameter for saltflats mission to 750 meters. * Moved "DMS_Version" variable assignment to pre-init. * Moved Map Center and Map Radius assignments to post-init. * Added support for 2 new optional parameters: _onMonitorStart and _onMonitorEnd, run before and after the Mission Monitor checks the mission, but AFTER "Mission Success State" is checked. * Mines should now be deleted when a mission fails. * Script optimizations for almost all functions using new command(s) introduced in ArmA v1.54, as well as improved technique(s). * "ExileServer_system_garbageCollector_deleteObject" is now used to actually delete items by DMS_fnc_CleanUp. * AI and vehicle cleanup should now be completely handled by Exile. * Added support for mARMA logging. * **You can now disable the movement/lifting of loot crates after the mission is complete using "DMS_EnableBoxMoving".** * Added some debug code to DMS_fnc_FindSafePos and DMS_fnc_IsValidPosition (commented out by default) * New group reinforcement type "increasing_difficulty". * DMS_fnc_IsNearWater now checks for invalid parameter(s). * DMS_fnc_PlayerAwardOnAIKill now checks for roadkill values AFTER unit-defined respect/tabs. * You can now define different marker types for mission completion/failure using "DMS_MissionMarkerWinDot_Type" and "DMS_MissionMarkerLoseDot_Type" respectively. * "DMS_fnc_SetGroupBehavior" can now take a unit as parameter as well. It will also now return true if behavior was changed, false otherwise. * "DMS_fnc_SpawnAIGroup" and "DMS_fnc_SpawnAIGroup_MultiPos" now supports the definition of custom gear sets. * Improved function documentation for "DMS_fnc_SpawnAIGroup", "DMS_fnc_SpawnAIGroup_MultiPos", and "DMS_fnc_SpawnAISoldier". * "DMS_fnc_SpawnAISoldier" now supports multiple different random AI class presets. This means that you can define a certain "random" class preset, but have it select from a specially defined list that excludes classes that you don't want. * Added default values to certain "missionNameSpace getVariable"s in DMS_fnc_SpawnAISoldier to prevent script errors in the event of invalid definitions. * Slight logic tweak/fix to DMS_fnc_TargetsKilled (it shouldn't throw errors when there aren't any).

3. Pack the a3_dms folder with a PBO tool ([PBO Manager](http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=16369), [Eliteness](https://dev.withsix.com/projects/mikero-pbodll/files), or [the Arma 3 Tools suite](http://store.steampowered.com/app/233800/))
4. Put the generated PBO in your ```@ExileServer\addons\``` directory. It should be alongside ```exile_server.pbo``` and ```exile_server_config.pbo```.
OnKilled Fixes + Update readme with SP3 link
2015-09-09 04:00:26 +00:00
Major UI Improvements, Fixes, Improved readme * **NEW CONFIG VALUES**: |DMS_Show_Kill_Poptabs_Notification| |DMS_Show_Kill_Respect_Notification| |DMS_dynamicText_Duration| |DMS_dynamicText_FadeTime| |DMS_dynamicText_Title_Size| |DMS_dynamicText_Title_Font| |DMS_dynamicText_Message_Color| |DMS_dynamicText_Message_Size| |DMS_dynamicText_Message_Font| |DMS_standardHint_Title_Size| |DMS_standardHint_Title_Font| |DMS_standardHint_Message_Color| |DMS_standardHint_Message_Size| |DMS_standardHint_Message_Font| |DMS_textTiles_Duration| |DMS_textTiles_FadeTime| |DMS_textTiles_Title_Size| |DMS_textTiles_Title_Font| |DMS_textTiles_Message_Color| |DMS_textTiles_Message_Size| |DMS_textTiles_Message_Font| * "DMS_PlayerNotificationTypes" has been adjusted to include "systemChatRequest" and the brand new "textTilesRequest". **NOTE:** Due to the way "text tiles" work, a player can only have one on his screen at a time. As a result, if another text tile is created while the mission message is up, the message will immediately disappear to display the new text tile. Currently, the "Frag Messages" (the ones that say "Player Kill +100") use text tiles. I don't think it should be a major issue (especially if you use "systemChatRequest", so the player can just scroll up), but if I get reports of it being stupid, I will default to "dynamicTextRequest", which should also look pretty damn nice. * These changes should make it much easier for people to use DMS notification functions for other purposes. * Fixed AI waypoints - the AI should now properly circle the objective at the proper radius. * Tweaked "DMS_AI_WP_Radius_moderate" and "DMS_AI_WP_Radius_difficult" (reduced the radii). Due to the AI pathing fix. * Fixed a couple typos in "DMS_fnc_SpawnAISoldier". "_customGearSet" should work now (although I'm fairly certain nobody uses it since nobody ever complained :P ) * Improved "DMS_fnc_SpawnNonPersistentVehicle"; Vehicles should no longer spawn jumbled up in most cases (like cardealer). Also, it's updated to the latest Exile methods to ensure that vehicles have no nightvision/thermal if configured to do so in Exile configs. Also added the "MPKilled" EH used by Exile for non-persistent (persistent vehicles already had it). * You can now choose whether or not you want to display the poptabs or respect kill messages when killing an AI with "DMS_Show_Kill_Poptabs_Notification" and "DMS_Show_Kill_Respect_Notification". Both are enabled by default. * Fixed typos in the "OnKilled" EH (didn't really affect anything) * Fixed cases when "currentMuzzle" would return a number. Thanks to [azmodii](https://github.com/azmodii) for the reminder. * Optimized the "AI share info" function in "OnKilled"

Big thank you to [JamieKG from Eternal Gamer](http://eternal-gamer.com/) and Torndeco. * **New static mission: "slums"** * Credit for the base goes to [William from Refugees of the Fallen](http://refugeesofthefallen.enjin.com/) * Spawns 2 crates at 2 different locations from a list of 5 locations. * No AI vehicles, only infantry (introduces Close Quarters Combat) * Added to Altis by default. * Static bases can now be imported on server startup instead of mission spawns. Enabled by default for saltflats and slums. * Increased "DMS_MissionTimeoutResetRange" from 1000 to 1500. * Removed the Navid from config (MG AI and box weapons). * Edited panthera3_config to reduce SpawnZoneNear and TraderZoneNear blacklists. * Edited "blackhawkdown" and "donthasslethehoff" missions to use a slightly different heli wreck classname. * Increased marker circle diameter for saltflats mission to 750 meters. * Moved "DMS_Version" variable assignment to pre-init. * Moved Map Center and Map Radius assignments to post-init. * Added support for 2 new optional parameters: _onMonitorStart and _onMonitorEnd, run before and after the Mission Monitor checks the mission, but AFTER "Mission Success State" is checked. * Mines should now be deleted when a mission fails. * Script optimizations for almost all functions using new command(s) introduced in ArmA v1.54, as well as improved technique(s). * "ExileServer_system_garbageCollector_deleteObject" is now used to actually delete items by DMS_fnc_CleanUp. * AI and vehicle cleanup should now be completely handled by Exile. * Added support for mARMA logging. * **You can now disable the movement/lifting of loot crates after the mission is complete using "DMS_EnableBoxMoving".** * Added some debug code to DMS_fnc_FindSafePos and DMS_fnc_IsValidPosition (commented out by default) * New group reinforcement type "increasing_difficulty". * DMS_fnc_IsNearWater now checks for invalid parameter(s). * DMS_fnc_PlayerAwardOnAIKill now checks for roadkill values AFTER unit-defined respect/tabs. * You can now define different marker types for mission completion/failure using "DMS_MissionMarkerWinDot_Type" and "DMS_MissionMarkerLoseDot_Type" respectively. * "DMS_fnc_SetGroupBehavior" can now take a unit as parameter as well. It will also now return true if behavior was changed, false otherwise. * "DMS_fnc_SpawnAIGroup" and "DMS_fnc_SpawnAIGroup_MultiPos" now supports the definition of custom gear sets. * Improved function documentation for "DMS_fnc_SpawnAIGroup", "DMS_fnc_SpawnAIGroup_MultiPos", and "DMS_fnc_SpawnAISoldier". * "DMS_fnc_SpawnAISoldier" now supports multiple different random AI class presets. This means that you can define a certain "random" class preset, but have it select from a specially defined list that excludes classes that you don't want. * Added default values to certain "missionNameSpace getVariable"s in DMS_fnc_SpawnAISoldier to prevent script errors in the event of invalid definitions. * Slight logic tweak/fix to DMS_fnc_TargetsKilled (it shouldn't throw errors when there aren't any).
2015-12-24 19:45:20 +00:00
* If you are using infiSTAR and want to keep ```_CGM = true;```, then set ```_UMW = true;```.
* Add ```'O_HMG_01_high_F'``` to "_VehicleWhiteList", as well as any other vehicles you add to DMS that are not whitelisted.

If you are using Vilayer or some other GameServer hosting service, and/or the above steps did not work, then follow these instructions:
1. Create a new folder called @a3_dms in the root ArmA 3 folder.
2. Create a subfolder called "addons".
3. Place the "a3_dms.pbo" in the "addons" subfolder.
4. Edit your startup parameters/modline to include "@a3_dms". For example: ```-serverMod=@ExileServer;@a3_dms;```

This means that you can define a certain "random" class preset, but have it select from a specially defined list that excludes classes that you don't want. * Added default values to certain "missionNameSpace getVariable"s in DMS_fnc_SpawnAISoldier to prevent script errors in the event of invalid definitions. * Slight logic tweak/fix to DMS_fnc_TargetsKilled (it shouldn't throw errors when there aren't any).

## Troubleshooting:
DMS won't spawn missions? Check RPT for config errors or make sure PBO is packed correctly by unpacking it and ensuring the folder structure is "\x\addons\a3_DMS\...".
If you can't figure it out, leave a post on [the DMS thread on exile forums](http://www.exilemod.com/topic/61-dms-defents-mission-system/?do=findComment&comment=242). **Make sure to include your RPT, config.sqf, as well as any changed files.**
Readme changes, new debug fnc, fixes, tweaks Created disclaimer for DMS. Now mentioning that HC for DMS isn't that good. Some structure stuff in readme (let's see if it works lol) * **NEW CONFIG VALUE: DMS_Use_Map_Config** * You can now overwrite "main config values" with map-specific config values located in the new "map_configs" folder. This should allow you to use one DMS PBO if you have multiple servers with different maps. Included examples for Altis, Bornholm, Esseker, and Tavi (Taviana). * Because of the above implementation, DMS by default will not include the salt flats blacklist for findSafePos. In addition, it is preconfigured to the hilly terrains in Esseker and Taviana, as well as reducing all of the blacklist distances due to the smaller map size in Esseker. * Created new function "DMS_fnc_DebugLog". All DMS files (that produced debug logs) have been changed, including mission files. However, updating them is not important (and completely pointless if you don't even use DMS_DEBUG). * Fixed a few locations where it said "sized" instead of "seized". Thanks to [icomrade](https://github.com/icomrade) for pointing them out. * DMS now utilizes the "ARMA_LOG" DLL (if it exists) by infiSTAR to produce debug logs (if enabled). All debug logs now also include server uptime (in seconds) and server FPS. * The FSM no longer produces debug logs. * AI Locality manager will now run every minute. * Debug logs for "DMS_fnc_MissionsMonitor" will only output the mission name and the position, instead of all of the parameters. * "DMS_fnc_IsNearWater" will now check the provided position itself for water. * "DMS_fnc_IsValidPosition" will now do a surfaceNormal check within a 5 meter radius of the provided position as well. * "_customGearSet" should now actually work for "DMS_fnc_SpawnAISoldier", and the function title comment has been updated for the slightly tweaked syntax.

Currently, the "Frag Messages" (the ones that say "Player Kill +100") use text tiles.

Due to the AI pathing fix. * Fixed a couple typos in "DMS_fnc_SpawnAISoldier". "_customGearSet" should work now (although I'm fairly certain nobody uses it since nobody ever complained :P ) * Improved "DMS_fnc_SpawnNonPersistentVehicle"; Vehicles should no longer spawn jumbled up in most cases (like cardealer). Also, it's updated to the latest Exile methods to ensure that vehicles have no nightvision/thermal if configured to do so in Exile configs. Also added the "MPKilled" EH used by Exile for non-persistent (persistent vehicles already had it). * You can now choose whether or not you want to display the poptabs or respect kill messages when killing an AI with "DMS_Show_Kill_Poptabs_Notification" and "DMS_Show_Kill_Respect_Notification". Both are enabled by default. * Fixed typos in the "OnKilled" EH (didn't really affect anything) * Fixed cases when "currentMuzzle" would return a number. Thanks to [azmodii](https://github.com/azmodii) for the reminder. * Optimized the "AI share info" function in "OnKilled"

I know... it's been over a week... gimme a break #### October 17, 2015 (2:30 PM CST-America): * **NEW CONFIG VALUES**: |DMS_TimeToFirstMission| |DMS_ShowDifficultyColorLegend| |DMS_TerritoryNearBlacklist| |DMS_MinSurfaceNormal| (Used to be DMS_MaxSurfaceNormal, simply renamed) |DMS_ai_launchers_per_group| * **UPDATING ALL OF YOUR MISSION FILES IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING** * RENAMED "DMS_MaxSurfaceNormal" to "DMS_MinSurfaceNormal". I must have been very tired when I named it... * DMS_MinSurfaceNormal is now 0.9 by default, but will be 0.95 for Altis and Bornholm (since they're relatively large/flat maps). Esseker is still 0.85. If you want to convert DMS_MinSurfaceNormal to degrees, you would take the arc-cosine of the surfaceNormal, and that will give you the degrees from horizontal. For example, arccos(0.9) is about 25 degrees. Google: "arccos(0.9) in degrees" * Tweaked and rebalanced "DMS_BanditMissionTypes". Most of the spawn chances are the same, they're just reduced in order to prevent the creation of arrays that are far larger than they need to be. * You can now manually define how long it takes for the first mission to spawn after a restart. * DMS will now by default create markers on the bottom left of the map to show which colors correspond to which difficulty. It isn't very pretty, but it gets the point across. * DMS will now manually calculate the center of the map and its radius, if it isn't preconfigured by DMS. * You can now specify the vehicles to spawn for missions: "bandits", "cardealer", "construction", "donthasslethehoff", and "thieves". * You can now specify the spawning location of any mission (and whether or not to use an alternative location if the provided location is invalid). This will allow for easy integration of DMS into admin tools. * Added support for scripts to be executed on mission completion or mission failure (this will allow you to have "multi-part" missions, where you would simply spawn the next part of the mission if the previous is completed). * Restructured DMS_DEBUG from the previous patch in favor of a more "optimized" method. * DMS_fnc_findSafePos is completely overhauled; DMS no longer uses "BIS_fnc_findSafePos". It also now throttles minSurfaceNormal on repeated failure. You can now determine whether or not the mission should spawn on water (however, I don't suggest you use this function for water spawns yet). * You can also now define a minimum distance from other territories for missions. * DMS_fnc_IsValidPosition will now check for water depth if the provided position is meant to be checked as a "water spawn". It will now also check for nearby missions from A3XAI or VEMF (untested). * DMS_fnc_IsValidPosition now checks whether or not the position is outside of the map borders. * DMS_fnc_SelectOffsetPos will now return the 3rd element of the provided position as-is. * You can now have multiple AI within a group with a launcher. * AI now have a 5-second godmode after spawning. * You can now spawn a crate using ASL pos. DMS_fnc_SpawnCrate will also make sure that the provided classname is valid. * Just like SpawnCrate, "DMS_fnc_SpawnNonPersistentVehicle" and "DMS_fnc_SpawnPersistentVehicle" will now make sure that the provided classname is valid. * "DMS_fnc_SpawnPersistentVehicle" now supports ASL spawning. * Added support for [Rod Serling's](https://github.com/Rod-Serling) AVS. * General optimization.

Static Missions! And MORE! * ** NEW CONFIG VALUES: |DMS_MaxStaticMissions| |DMS_TimeToFirstStaticMission| |DMS_TimeBetweenStaticMissions| |DMS_StaticMissionTimeOut| |DMS_StaticMissionTimeoutResetRange| |DMS_StaticMinPlayerDistance| |DMS_UsePredefinedMissionLocations| |DMS_PredefinedMissionLocations| |DMS_MinDistFromWestBorder| |DMS_MinDistFromEastBorder| |DMS_MinDistFromSouthBorder| |DMS_MinDistFromNorthBorder| |DMS_StaticMissionTypes| ** * Added new value "DMS_Version". * ** "DMS_fnc_SpawnAIStatic" is now "DMS_fnc_SpawnAIStaticMG"; donthasslethehoff, mercbase, and testmission have been updated with the new names** * DMS will now check to make sure that marker colors passed to fn_CreateMarker are valid marker colors. * You can now control how far away from each border a mission will spawn (each border is separate: west, east, south, north). All "supported" maps have config values adjusted in "map_configs". * New salt flats base by [Darth Rogue from SOA](http://soldiersofanarchy.net/). * **IMPLEMENTED STATIC MISSIONS (initial version). "saltflats" is currently the only static mission for Altis ONLY. However, it shouldn't be too difficult to export it to other maps (once positions have been adjusted). ** * Fixed a couple of outdated/inaccurate function documentation comments. * **FINALLY REMOVED THE Default Value "-1" PARAMS RPT SPAM. I FOUND IT. YESSSSS** * Fixed fn_CleanUp producing debug logs even with debug disabled. * Fixed the CleanUp list not Cleaning Up after itself (hah!). * Added diag_tickTime and DMS_Version to debug logs. * You can now define a custom function for DMS_FillCrate. It will be passed params from _lootValues select 0. ** I haven't tested this at all. Just keep that in mind ;) ** * You can now manually define mission spawning locations into an array, and that array will be used to find a location. Each location will still be checked for validity, and if no valid positions are found from the list, a random one is then generated using the normal method. ** I didn't test this part at all either :P ** * fn_FindSafePos should be even more efficient now, and even more controllable. * Quite a few new functions; most notably: fn_GroupReinforcementsManager * fn_GroupReinforcementsManager is used by static missions to provide reinforcements for AI once they fall below a certain threshold (and/or any other parameters you provide). Make sure to check out the function documentation and give any suggestions for new reinforcement types! * New function "DMS_fnc_ImportFromM3E_Static" will simply import a base from the provided file (under static). No conversion to relative position or anything. Simply spawning, positioning, and disabling simulation. * Removed the check for being outside map edges from fn_isValidPosition. * "hardcore" AI will now be even more difficult ;)

All "supported" maps have config values adjusted in "map_configs". * New salt flats base by [Darth Rogue from SOA](http://soldiersofanarchy.net/). * **IMPLEMENTED STATIC MISSIONS (initial version). "saltflats" is currently the only static mission for Altis ONLY. However, it shouldn't be too difficult to export it to other maps (once positions have been adjusted). ** * Fixed a couple of outdated/inaccurate function documentation comments. * **FINALLY REMOVED THE Default Value "-1" PARAMS RPT SPAM. I FOUND IT. YESSSSS** * Fixed fn_CleanUp producing debug logs even with debug disabled. * Fixed the CleanUp list not Cleaning Up after itself (hah!). * Added diag_tickTime and DMS_Version to debug logs. * You can now define a custom function for DMS_FillCrate. It will be passed params from _lootValues select 0. ** I haven't tested this at all. Just keep that in mind ;) ** * You can now manually define mission spawning locations into an array, and that array will be used to find a location. Each location will still be checked for validity, and if no valid positions are found from the list, a random one is then generated using the normal method. ** I didn't test this part at all either :P ** * fn_FindSafePos should be even more efficient now, and even more controllable. * Quite a few new functions; most notably: fn_GroupReinforcementsManager * fn_GroupReinforcementsManager is used by static missions to provide reinforcements for AI once they fall below a certain threshold (and/or any other parameters you provide). Make sure to check out the function documentation and give any suggestions for new reinforcement types! * New function "DMS_fnc_ImportFromM3E_Static" will simply import a base from the provided file (under static). No conversion to relative position or anything. Simply spawning, positioning, and disabling simulation. * Removed the check for being outside map edges from fn_isValidPosition. * "hardcore" AI will now be even more difficult ;)

___
Readme changes, new debug fnc, fixes, tweaks Created disclaimer for DMS. Now mentioning that HC for DMS isn't that good. Some structure stuff in readme (let's see if it works lol) * **NEW CONFIG VALUE: DMS_Use_Map_Config** * You can now overwrite "main config values" with map-specific config values located in the new "map_configs" folder. This should allow you to use one DMS PBO if you have multiple servers with different maps. Included examples for Altis, Bornholm, Esseker, and Tavi (Taviana). * Because of the above implementation, DMS by default will not include the salt flats blacklist for findSafePos. In addition, it is preconfigured to the hilly terrains in Esseker and Taviana, as well as reducing all of the blacklist distances due to the smaller map size in Esseker. * Created new function "DMS_fnc_DebugLog". All DMS files (that produced debug logs) have been changed, including mission files. However, updating them is not important (and completely pointless if you don't even use DMS_DEBUG). * Fixed a few locations where it said "sized" instead of "seized". Thanks to [icomrade](https://github.com/icomrade) for pointing them out. * DMS now utilizes the "ARMA_LOG" DLL (if it exists) by infiSTAR to produce debug logs (if enabled). All debug logs now also include server uptime (in seconds) and server FPS. * The FSM no longer produces debug logs. * AI Locality manager will now run every minute. * Debug logs for "DMS_fnc_MissionsMonitor" will only output the mission name and the position, instead of all of the parameters. * "DMS_fnc_IsNearWater" will now check the provided position itself for water. * "DMS_fnc_IsValidPosition" will now do a surfaceNormal check within a 5 meter radius of the provided position as well. * "_customGearSet" should now actually work for "DMS_fnc_SpawnAISoldier", and the function title comment has been updated for the slightly tweaked syntax.

More beta changes
2016-01-11 18:52:26 +00:00
* **UPDATING THE MISSIONS "bauhaus" AND "construction" ARE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.**
Release Candidate
2016-01-07 00:38:55 +00:00
* Created a couple new config examples.
* DMS will now use its own "PUID" for spawning persistent vehicles (instead of mine).
* Added "Taviana" to default map configs.
* You can now spawn missions on server start. Make sure to add them to the mission types beforehand.
* Fixed default values for reinforcements on saltflats and slums static Altis missions.
* ```_onSuccessScripts``` and ```_onFailScripts``` now use a new structure: it should be ```[[param,code],[param,code]]``` instead of ```[code,code]```.
* DMS now uses ```remoteExecCall``` instead of Exile client broadcast functions for "systemChatRequest" and "standardHintRequest".
* You can now customize the magazine range for guns in a crate. The "fillCrate" function is far from perfect, and I am working on improving it. Ideas are appreciated.
* Adjusted the logic to spawning AI reinforcements; the locations will be shuffled before the AI are spawned, and every location will be used at least once if there are more AI than reinforcement locations.
* You can now define custom markers for Trader/Spawn zones. Keep in mind that they are case-sensitive.
* ```_onMonitorStart``` will now run BEFORE success state is checked. As a result, I added a new "completion type" in "fn_MissionSuccessState" so that you can force mission completion via array manipulations.
* "fn_OnKilled" now gets AI side and type using "getVariable" instead of having to include them in the "addMPEventHandler". If you are using the function for custom purposes, you will need to edit your usage.
* You can now choose whether or not an AI produces different respect or tabs when roadkilled individually.
Minor improvements Added distance to the party member notification when they kill an AI The mine created by using "DMS_explode_onRoadkill" is spawned on the player, so the player can't get away with running an AI over if he/she simply drives really fast.
2016-01-09 17:06:42 +00:00
* You can now allow party members to be notified in chat when a party member kills an AI. It includes AI type+side, distance, and the amount of poptabs/respect received.
Release Candidate
2016-01-07 00:38:55 +00:00
* You can now notify clients when AI have been offloaded to them.
* You now have greater control over AI difficulty; you can now manually define "random" presets to include/exclude special difficulty types.
* New function: "DMS_fnc_SetGroupBehavior_Separate" - You can pass an array of units and define their behavior without affecting the rest of the group.
* "DMS_fnc_SpawnAIVehicle" is overhauled: instead of only spawning a driver and a gunner, the function uses "allTurrets" to completely fill the crew of a vehicle.
* "DMS_fnc_SpawnAIVehicle" no longer sets the crew's behavior to "aware".
* Optimized "DMS_fnc_TargetsKilled".
Minor improvements Added distance to the party member notification when they kill an AI The mine created by using "DMS_explode_onRoadkill" is spawned on the player, so the player can't get away with running an AI over if he/she simply drives really fast.
2016-01-09 17:06:42 +00:00
* "DMS_explode_onRoadkill" now spawns the mine ON the player that ran the AI over, so damage to the vehicle is guaranteed no matter how fast the vehicle was going.
More beta changes
2016-01-11 18:52:26 +00:00
* Added some of the latest Exile items and tools.
* Loot configs for Survival Supplies and Construction Supplies have been split up and made more modular so they're easier to configure.
* The "bauhaus" mission is now actually guaranteed to spawn construction supplies.
* The "construction" mission spawns a greater variety and quantity of building supplies (and the supplies aren't hardcoded).
Fixes and Features (UNTESTED) Feel free to test :)
2016-02-07 20:24:35 +00:00
* Moved static and dynamic mission variable initialization to pre-init.
* Missions are now compiled in pre-init to limit overhead in runtime.
* You can now ```setVariable "DMS_CrateGodMode"``` and ```"DMS_CrateEnableRope"``` on a crate to control the respective settings.
* Fixed a typo that caused a script error in static mission monitor and prevented group reinforcements from spawning.
* You can now ```setVariable "DMS_AI_CustomOnKilledFnc"``` (a string) to execute a function on death. The dead unit is passed.

#### December 24, 2015 (4:30 PM CST-America | Special Vishpala edition ;D ):
* **NEW CONFIG VALUE: DMS_MissionMarkerCount**
* "dynamicTextRequest" is now enabled by default instead of "textTilesRequest" because of performance issues.
* DMS should now be compatible with more/less than two markers as long as you change "DMS_MissionMarkerCount", without having to change multiple files :P

This should help with the issue of some AI spawning outside of the compound. * Added more static guns: 4 around the flagpole (5 meters north, south, east, and west). One on top of the tower in each corner, and another on the top of the concrete water tower. * When an AI group is offloaded to a client and he gets out of range AND no other viable client is found, the AI locality should now revert to the server (it used to just stay with the original client). * Added extra measures to prevent the creation of 2 markers with the same name. * fn_FillCrate.sqf: * Fixed the issue where DMS would complain about incorrect parameters when using custom code to generate loot. * DMS now has debug logging to tell you exactly what it spawns in the crate when using a crate case or custom code. * "DMS_PredefinedMissionLocations" itself will now be shuffled when finding a position. This should make the generated positions even more random. * Added new Group Reinforcement Types: "armed_vehicle_replace" and "static_gunner" * Potentially resolved the issue with launchers not being deleted from AI bodies when they're killed sometimes. * **fn_PlayerAwardOnAIKill.sqf**: Created a separate function to handle poptabs/respect of a player when he/she kills an AI. * Added a "distance bonus" for respect when killing AI. * Added logging for player rewards on AI kills. * DMS now lets Exile's body cleanup handle dead AIs. * Fixed the issue where DMS would spawn static missions even when "DMS_StaticMission" is set to false. * fn_SetAILocality.sqf now returns true/false if it does/doesn't find an owner. * New function "fn_SpawnAIGroup_MultiPos.sqf". Almost identical to SpawnAIGroup, except it spawns each AI along a list of locations. * **Removed the pre-packed PBO. Too many people were having issues with their PBO tool removing the prefix and repacking it would result in DMS not working.**

I know... it's been over a week... gimme a break #### October 17, 2015 (2:30 PM CST-America): * **NEW CONFIG VALUES**: |DMS_TimeToFirstMission| |DMS_ShowDifficultyColorLegend| |DMS_TerritoryNearBlacklist| |DMS_MinSurfaceNormal| (Used to be DMS_MaxSurfaceNormal, simply renamed) |DMS_ai_launchers_per_group| * **UPDATING ALL OF YOUR MISSION FILES IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING** * RENAMED "DMS_MaxSurfaceNormal" to "DMS_MinSurfaceNormal". I must have been very tired when I named it... * DMS_MinSurfaceNormal is now 0.9 by default, but will be 0.95 for Altis and Bornholm (since they're relatively large/flat maps). Esseker is still 0.85. If you want to convert DMS_MinSurfaceNormal to degrees, you would take the arc-cosine of the surfaceNormal, and that will give you the degrees from horizontal. For example, arccos(0.9) is about 25 degrees. Google: "arccos(0.9) in degrees" * Tweaked and rebalanced "DMS_BanditMissionTypes". Most of the spawn chances are the same, they're just reduced in order to prevent the creation of arrays that are far larger than they need to be. * You can now manually define how long it takes for the first mission to spawn after a restart. * DMS will now by default create markers on the bottom left of the map to show which colors correspond to which difficulty. It isn't very pretty, but it gets the point across. * DMS will now manually calculate the center of the map and its radius, if it isn't preconfigured by DMS. * You can now specify the vehicles to spawn for missions: "bandits", "cardealer", "construction", "donthasslethehoff", and "thieves". * You can now specify the spawning location of any mission (and whether or not to use an alternative location if the provided location is invalid). This will allow for easy integration of DMS into admin tools. * Added support for scripts to be executed on mission completion or mission failure (this will allow you to have "multi-part" missions, where you would simply spawn the next part of the mission if the previous is completed). * Restructured DMS_DEBUG from the previous patch in favor of a more "optimized" method. * DMS_fnc_findSafePos is completely overhauled; DMS no longer uses "BIS_fnc_findSafePos". It also now throttles minSurfaceNormal on repeated failure. You can now determine whether or not the mission should spawn on water (however, I don't suggest you use this function for water spawns yet). * You can also now define a minimum distance from other territories for missions. * DMS_fnc_IsValidPosition will now check for water depth if the provided position is meant to be checked as a "water spawn". It will now also check for nearby missions from A3XAI or VEMF (untested). * DMS_fnc_IsValidPosition now checks whether or not the position is outside of the map borders. * DMS_fnc_SelectOffsetPos will now return the 3rd element of the provided position as-is. * You can now have multiple AI within a group with a launcher. * AI now have a 5-second godmode after spawning. * You can now spawn a crate using ASL pos. DMS_fnc_SpawnCrate will also make sure that the provided classname is valid. * Just like SpawnCrate, "DMS_fnc_SpawnNonPersistentVehicle" and "DMS_fnc_SpawnPersistentVehicle" will now make sure that the provided classname is valid. * "DMS_fnc_SpawnPersistentVehicle" now supports ASL spawning. * Added support for [Rod Serling's](https://github.com/Rod-Serling) AVS. * General optimization.

Readme changes, new debug fnc, fixes, tweaks Created disclaimer for DMS. Now mentioning that HC for DMS isn't that good. Some structure stuff in readme (let's see if it works lol) * **NEW CONFIG VALUE: DMS_Use_Map_Config** * You can now overwrite "main config values" with map-specific config values located in the new "map_configs" folder. This should allow you to use one DMS PBO if you have multiple servers with different maps. Included examples for Altis, Bornholm, Esseker, and Tavi (Taviana). * Because of the above implementation, DMS by default will not include the salt flats blacklist for findSafePos. In addition, it is preconfigured to the hilly terrains in Esseker and Taviana, as well as reducing all of the blacklist distances due to the smaller map size in Esseker. * Created new function "DMS_fnc_DebugLog". All DMS files (that produced debug logs) have been changed, including mission files. However, updating them is not important (and completely pointless if you don't even use DMS_DEBUG). * Fixed a few locations where it said "sized" instead of "seized". Thanks to [icomrade](https://github.com/icomrade) for pointing them out. * DMS now utilizes the "ARMA_LOG" DLL (if it exists) by infiSTAR to produce debug logs (if enabled). All debug logs now also include server uptime (in seconds) and server FPS. * The FSM no longer produces debug logs. * AI Locality manager will now run every minute. * Debug logs for "DMS_fnc_MissionsMonitor" will only output the mission name and the position, instead of all of the parameters. * "DMS_fnc_IsNearWater" will now check the provided position itself for water. * "DMS_fnc_IsValidPosition" will now do a surfaceNormal check within a 5 meter radius of the provided position as well. * "_customGearSet" should now actually work for "DMS_fnc_SpawnAISoldier", and the function title comment has been updated for the slightly tweaked syntax.

As a result, if another text tile is created while the mission message is up, the message will immediately disappear to display the new text tile. Currently, the "Frag Messages" (the ones that say "Player Kill +100") use text tiles. I don't think it should be a major issue (especially if you use "systemChatRequest", so the player can just scroll up), but if I get reports of it being stupid, I will default to "dynamicTextRequest", which should also look pretty damn nice. * These changes should make it much easier for people to use DMS notification functions for other purposes. * Fixed AI waypoints - the AI should now properly circle the objective at the proper radius. * Tweaked "DMS_AI_WP_Radius_moderate" and "DMS_AI_WP_Radius_difficult" (reduced the radii). Due to the AI pathing fix. * Fixed a couple typos in "DMS_fnc_SpawnAISoldier". "_customGearSet" should work now (although I'm fairly certain nobody uses it since nobody ever complained :P ) * Improved "DMS_fnc_SpawnNonPersistentVehicle"; Vehicles should no longer spawn jumbled up in most cases (like cardealer). Also, it's updated to the latest Exile methods to ensure that vehicles have no nightvision/thermal if configured to do so in Exile configs. Also added the "MPKilled" EH used by Exile for non-persistent (persistent vehicles already had it). * You can now choose whether or not you want to display the poptabs or respect kill messages when killing an AI with "DMS_Show_Kill_Poptabs_Notification" and "DMS_Show_Kill_Respect_Notification". Both are enabled by default. * Fixed typos in the "OnKilled" EH (didn't really affect anything) * Fixed cases when "currentMuzzle" would return a number. Thanks to [azmodii](https://github.com/azmodii) for the reminder. * Optimized the "AI share info" function in "OnKilled"

As a result, if another text tile is created while the mission message is up, the message will immediately disappear to display the new text tile. Currently, the "Frag Messages" (the ones that say "Player Kill +100") use text tiles. I don't think it should be a major issue (especially if you use "systemChatRequest", so the player can just scroll up), but if I get reports of it being stupid, I will default to "dynamicTextRequest", which should also look pretty damn nice. * These changes should make it much easier for people to use DMS notification functions for other purposes. * Fixed AI waypoints - the AI should now properly circle the objective at the proper radius. * Tweaked "DMS_AI_WP_Radius_moderate" and "DMS_AI_WP_Radius_difficult" (reduced the radii). Due to the AI pathing fix. * Fixed a couple typos in "DMS_fnc_SpawnAISoldier". "_customGearSet" should work now (although I'm fairly certain nobody uses it since nobody ever complained :P ) * Improved "DMS_fnc_SpawnNonPersistentVehicle"; Vehicles should no longer spawn jumbled up in most cases (like cardealer). Also, it's updated to the latest Exile methods to ensure that vehicles have no nightvision/thermal if configured to do so in Exile configs. Also added the "MPKilled" EH used by Exile for non-persistent (persistent vehicles already had it). * You can now choose whether or not you want to display the poptabs or respect kill messages when killing an AI with "DMS_Show_Kill_Poptabs_Notification" and "DMS_Show_Kill_Respect_Notification". Both are enabled by default. * Fixed typos in the "OnKilled" EH (didn't really affect anything) * Fixed cases when "currentMuzzle" would return a number. Thanks to [azmodii](https://github.com/azmodii) for the reminder. * Optimized the "AI share info" function in "OnKilled"

Tweaks + Minor Additions * NEW CONFIG VALUE: "DMS_ai_offload_Only_DMS_AI" * You can use "DMS_ai_offload_Only_DMS_AI" to offload only AI spawned by DMS. This should resolve any issues with other mission systems from DMS. * Increased "DMS_playerNearRadius" from 75 meters to 100 meters. * You can now define "absolute" mission conditions. If this mission condition is met, it immediately counts the mission as completed. Add "true" after the completion argument to turn it into an "absolute" win condition. * Added compatibility with RS_VLS by [Rod Serling](https://github.com/Rod-Serling).

Finally another update... * NEW CONFIG VALUE: "DMS_HideBox". * Loot vehicles cannot be lifted, pushed, or damaged until the mission is completed successfully. Then the vehicle will be added to the Exile simulation monitor. * AI in vehicles will be automatically ejected on death. * Another potential fix for launchers not despawning off of AI sometimes. * When an AI gunner from an armed ground vehicle is killed, the driver will be switched to the gunner seat after 5-10 seconds. This prevents the driver from driving around aimlessly and trolling. * The above feature should now also work on AI that have been offloaded now (doing so was a major, major pain in the ass, and is the reason why there was no update yesterday).

Fixes + Tweaks + Features #### September 13, 2015 (11:45 PM CST-America): * NEW CONFIG VALUES: DMS_MaxAIDistance and DMS_AIDistanceCheckFrequency * You can now use the above config values to kill AI that flee from their spawn position. Only "Soldier" AI will be killed. * Removed "O_HMG_01_F" from AI Static Weapons. AI were pretty useless on it... unless the AI were facing the right direction. * Reduced AI count and removed the "playerNear" parameter from testmission for easier testing. * NEW: When an AI vehicle gunner is killed, and the driver is still alive, after a little delay, the driver is then switched to the gunner seat. You should no longer have AI vehicles with a dead gunner that's driving around aimlessly :) There is a 5-8 second delay to simulate reaction time. Then the driver is ejected, then after 1.5 seconds the AI is then forced into the gunner seat. * NOTE: The above feature only works when the AI is still local (not offloaded). If the AI is offloaded, the AI is simply ejected and becomes a foot soldier. * AI assigned vehicles are destroyed when the crew is empty. Simulation is also disabled on them. * Reduced some of the "params" RPT spam, from DMS_fnc_SetGroupBehavior. * Tweaked AI Vehicle spawning logic. The AI are initially assigned to a temporary group and then behavior is set, then they join the assigned group to prevent overriding behavior of other ground units. * Non-persistent vehicles should now be fit properly to the terrain.

Minor Update for today...
2015-09-14 04:52:02 +00:00
#### September 13, 2015 (11:45 PM CST-America):
* Updated parameter type for "DMS_dynamicText_Size", as well as commented out description for "dynamicTextRequest". Will try to work on functionality for it soon.
* Improved cleaning of AI units. There may still be issues, specifically with launchers. If there are, please let me know, and test it. The more info I have, the quicker it can be fixed :)
Update!
2015-09-13 06:15:21 +00:00
#### September 13, 2015 (1:00 AM CST-America):
* New config value: ```DMS_AI_WP_Radius_base``` . Tiny waypoint radius for "base defence".
* New mission: "mercbase". Known issue: Stuff gets messed up when the mission spawns on a steep slope. Blame BIS for breaking "BIS_fnc_findSafePos" :P
* Added Taviana map safe pos params. (thanks JamieKG!)
* New functions: "DMS_fnc_CalcPos" and "DMS_fnc_ImportFromM3E".
* You can now import bases from Maca's awesome M3 Editor! Simply create the file under the "objects" folder, then call "DMS_fnc_ImportFromM3E"! Refer to the new "mercbase" mission as an example.
* "DMS_fnc_ImportFromM3E" supports static position (make sure you pass [0,0,0] as the second parameter), relative position, as well as bank/pitch. In addition, you get parameter parsing, just like any other DMS function, so if you're messing around with stuff and make a mistake, it will tell you ;)
* You can now specify which gun that an static AI spawns with.

Bunch of stuff... * NEW CONFIG VALUES: ```DMS_GodmodeCrates``` and ```DMS_CrateCase_Sniper```. DMS_GodmodeCrates is pretty self-explanatory :P * NEW FEATURE FOR "DMS_fnc_FillCrate": You can now define "crate cases" in the config (such as "DMS_CrateCase_Sniper"). Passing the "crate case" name (such as "Sniper") will make the crate spawn with the exact gear defined in the config. Refer to the testmission.sqf (line 80) and "DMS_CrateCase_Sniper" config for an example. * Spawned vehicles will now be LOCKED and INVINCIBLE until the mission is completed. * Spawned vehicles spawn with 100% fuel. * "Fixed" some cases where killing from a mounted gun would reset your money/respect (maybe). * Fixed some spelling errors and incorrect names in some of the mission messages/markers. * Fixed DMS_fnc_FindSafePos for Bornholm. If you have any issues with custom maps, please let us know. * Fixed backpack spawning on the ground behind an AI unit that was supposed to get a launcher.

More features, fixes, tweaks * NEW CONFIG VALUES: ```DMS_MarkerPosRandomization```, ```DMS_MarkerPosRandomRadius```, and ```DMS_RandomMarkerBrush``` * With the above configs, you can randomize the marker positions in a random position around the actual mission center. * You can also "force" DMS_fnc_CreateMarker to randomize (or not randomize) the marker position with optional boolean parameter of index 3. * Changed the default (non-randomized) circle marker "brush". It should be a solid circle. * Created new functions ```DMS_fnc_SelectOffsetPos``` and ```DMS_fnc_SelectRandomVal``` * Adjusted a couple functions to use them. * Fixed ```DMS_fnc_IsNearWater```.

Couple fixes + New version release
2015-09-10 03:01:26 +00:00
#### September 9, 2015 (10:00 PM CST-America):
* Added static AI! The "donthasslethehoff" mission has them included by default. :D
* New config values: ```DMS_Bandit_Static_MoneyGain``` and ```DMS_Bandit_Static_RepGain```.
* Future-proofed ```DMS_fnc_OnKilled```. As a result, "DMS_BanditMoneyGainOnKill" is now ```DMS_Bandit_Soldier_MoneyGain```, and "DMS_BanditRepGainOnKill" is now ```DMS_Bandit_Soldier_RepGain```.
* Added config value ```DMS_ai_disable_ramming_damage```. Check the comment for more info :)
* Removed config value "DMS_ai_static_skills"
* Randomized vehicle spawn position for "cardealer" mission.
Forgot a couple things
2015-09-10 03:08:50 +00:00
* NOTE: If you use custom ```DMS_fnc_SpawnAISoldier``` calls, you will have to update your calling parameters! Make sure you add "Soldier" at the end of the array, or before ```_customGearSet``` if you're using it!
* Added ```_launcher``` option for ```_customGearSet``` in ```DMS_fnc_SpawnAISoldier```. NOTE: This changes the order of the gearset parameters for the AI. ```_launcher``` is between ```_items``` and ```_helmet```! Use empty string ```""``` if you don't want any launcher on the AI unit.

#### September 8, 2015 (11:00 PM CST-America):
* AI Bodies should now be properly cleaned when run over (if configured to do so with ```DMS_remove_roadkill``` and ```DMS_remove_roadkill_chance```).
* Added config option ```DMS_credit_roadkill```. If set to true, players will get poptabs/respect for running over AI. Default: false.
* Fixed giving poptabs/respect for killing AI from vehicles. Passengers and mounted gunners should properly receive poptabs/respect when they kill AI.

Update README+PBO+DMS version
2015-09-05 04:20:04 +00:00
#### September 4, 2015 (11:20 PM CST-America):
* Improved crate handling by DMS. You can now spawn multiple crates with different loot, or simply no crates at all. (REQUIRES FILE CHANGES FOR EACH MISSION)
* Accounted for case sensitivity in switch-do statements for SpawnAISolder.
* Decreased default amount of money/respect gain on AI kills (Used to be 100 poptabs and 25 respect, it is now 50 poptabs and 10 respect)
* Define functions in config.cpp. This resulted in ALL FILES being changed to some degree.
typo
2015-09-05 04:20:56 +00:00
* Fixed spawning Binocs and Rangefinders/Designators on AI.
