* Please check out the new config values in config.sqf to see what they
do :)
* Fixed issue with "thieves" mission (and DMS-spawned persistent
vehicles in general). 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).
* ** 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 ;)
#### 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.
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.
* **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"
* NEW CONFIG VALUE: DMS_SpawnMinefieldForEveryMission
* You can now force-spawn an AT mine minefield on every mission with the
above config. These mines will only blow up on Tanks, APCs, and MRAPs
(Ifrits, Hunters, Striders).
* ALL MISSIONS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO MATCH THE NEW STANDARD FOR
DMS_fnc_AddMissionToMonitor. **If you have made any custom missions or
modified any of the current mission scripts, make sure you merge your
changes**!
* Adjusted the placement of the armed car in "bandits" mission. It
should no longer spawn right on the crate.
* Marker and message names for the "foodtransport" mission have been
adjusted.
* Added the AI vehicle to the "mercbase" mission.
* Removed some RPT spam...
* Standardize ATL for DMS_fnc_importFromM3E_Convert
* When revealing a player to AI, the reveal amount will be reduced if
the player has a suppressor.
* DMS_fnc_SetGroupBehavior will now remove all previous waypoints from
the AI group.
* Improved logging message for DMS_fnc_SpawnMinefield. Also, the mine
warning signs should be on a random offset (instead of always spawning
at 0, 90, 180, and 270 degrees)
#### 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.
