* 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).
* **Tweaks to saltflats static mission:**
* AI Vehicle is spawned AFTER the base is spawned (hopefully
limits/prevents it from spawning inside something).
* Before spawning a new crate, any crate (with the same classname) that
potentially exists from a previous mission is deleted first.
#### 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.**
* ** 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.
* **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 VALUES**:
|DMS_MarkerText_ShowMissionPrefix|
|DMS_MarkerText_MissionPrefix|
|DMS_MarkerText_ShowAICount|
|DMS_MarkerText_AIName|
* New function: DMS_fnc_SpawnPersistentVehicle. It will spawn
inaccessible vehicles by default and convert VALID pincode inputs to the
proper format.
* New mission: "Car Thieves" (thieves.sqf). It uses the new
DMS_fnc_SpawnPersistentVehicle. When the mission is completed
successfully, the code is displayed in the completion message.
* You can now add a "prefix" to the marker text of each mission.
* You can now display the number of remaining AI in the marker text (it
should update about every 15 seconds).
* Rearranged the missions in the config to look prettier. Don't judge.
* Added the "Zamak", "Tempest", and "HEMMT" to "DMS_TransportTrucks"
array. Removed "Exile_Car_Van_Black"
* "dynamicTextRequest" messages will now appear at the top of the
screen, so it shouldn't distract/block stuff in focus.
* Fixed some spelling, improved some grammar (will require mission
updates, it's really minor though).
* **You must update all of your mission files; the mission message
system as well as the calling parameters for DMS_fnc_FindSafePos have
been overhauled and will be incompatible with previous versions.**
* NEW CONFIG VALUES:
|DMS_ThrottleBlacklists|
|DMS_AttemptsUntilThrottle|
|DMS_ThrottleCoefficient|
|DMS_MinThrottledDistance|
* Decreased
"DMS_TraderZoneNearBlacklist","DMS_MissionNearBlacklist","DMS_WaterNearBlacklist"
* Changed "DMS_dynamicText_Color" to "#FFFFFF" (white)
* Replaced weapon classes in "DMS_CrateCase_Sniper" to the base classes;
all attachments should now spawn in the box separately.
* New function DMS_fnc_IsValidPosition (uses logic that was previously
from "DMS_fnc_FindSafePos").
* You can now manually define every individual parameter for
DMS_fnc_findSafePos per-mission, instead of using global parameters.
* AI will now be offloaded to an HC even with "DMS_ai_offload_to_client"
set to false.
* All of the previously "supported" values for
"DMS_PlayerNotificationTypes" are now PROPERLY supported.
DMS_PlayerNotificationTypes is now set to default "dynamicTextRequest"
and "systemChatRequest".
* Tweaked "cardealer" mission, the cars should no longer spawn inside of
each other.
* NEW CONFIG VALUE: "DMS_MaxSurfaceNormal"
* The above config value now determines the maximum incline that a
mission can spawn on. Default value is 0.95, which should be
sufficiently flat.
* Added some grouping explanations in mission config settings.
* Added check for A3XAI for the lovely
["Face"/"dayzai"](https://github.com/dayzai)
* Added ability for people to use a static export from M3Editor. DMS
will then calculate the relative position, and spawn it at the mission.
Example provided in testmission.sqf.
* Fixed an issue with DMS_fnc_TargetsKilled always returning false.
Created function CleanUpManager
CleanUp will now throw an error for attempting cleanup on non-object
CleanUp now uses CleanUpManager
Use "select" instead of if-else for _safePosParams
Removed "DMS_Mission_Arr is empty" logging because it will spam RPT
Added configurable distance to when cleanup will be aborted for an
object with a player nearby.
Created TargetsKilled function
Rewrite BroadCastMissionStatus (the function was doing the same thing
for each switch case except one, so I just put that in a select
statement)
Created function information for CleanUp.
CleanUp was using "_this" instead of "_x"
Created more/better debug info for CleanUp
Changed calling parameters for FillCrate.
Increased robustness of FillCrate.
Made FillCrate prettier
Created function information for FindSafePos
Created function information for IsPlayerNearByARRAY (deprecated)
Tweaks to MissionStatusCheck:
Created debug log for empty "DMS_Mission_Arr"
Fixed placement of index increase (otherwise deleteAt would remove
incorrect element if it existed)
Created MissionSuccessState
Created logs for RemoveMarkers
Created function information for RemoveMarkers + made it prettier
Created function information for SelectMagazine
Created TargetsKilled
Created FindSafePos
Initialize DMS_MissionCount
Config will be loaded in preInit now
Renamed skills and random skill array
Removed mission_init (we will be using FSM instead)
Renamed preInit/postInit
All config.sqf options setup and named (for now :P )
Removed "tools" from FillCrate since it was just addItemCargoGlobal as
well
FindSafePos adjustments + renames
IsNearWater function (from WAI)
Add "_markers" array to MissionStatusCheck params (planned implemention:
[_dot,_circle] for the ability to rename a marker after mission
completion. EG: "COMPLETED: Weapons Crate" for X seconds)
Created SelectMagazine fnc
Created files for a couple TODO functions
