#### 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.
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_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 VALUES:
DMS_SpawnMinesAroundMissions
DMS_despawnMines_onCompletion
DMS_MineInfo_easy
DMS_MineInfo_moderate
DMS_MineInfo_difficult
DMS_MineInfo_hardcore
DMS_explode_onRoadkill
* You can now spawn randomly generated minefields around missions!
Numberof mines and radius is dependent on difficulty.
* Also, you can now spawn an explosion on an AI when it is roadkilled,
causing a wheel or two of the roadkilling vehicle to break.
* Commented out the spawning of static-relative conversion of base
objects in test mission.
* Included example of how to spawn the minefield in the test mission.
* Reduced some of the RPT spam.
* Smoke/IR grenades will only spawn on proper crates - you can now
safely use DMS_fnc_FillCrate with non-crate objects but still have smoke
available.
* CONFIG VALUES: Changed "DMS_MissionTypes" to "DMS_BanditMissionTypes"
* Renamed some variables to "future-proof" them
* Placed all current missions under "bandit" subfolder to for easier
future integration.
* Created function "DMS_fnc_SpawnBanditMission" to handle bandit mission
spawning (makes it easier to spawn missions via admin console).
* Attached vehicle eventhandlers to DMS-spawned non-persistent vehicles.
* Fixed the "lock" option appearing on DMS-spawned vehicles.
* 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.
#### September 14, 2015 (11:00 PM CST-America):
* NEW CONFIG VALUES: DMS_AIVehCleanUpTime, DMS_MinWaterDepth,
DMS_Bandit_Vehicle_MoneyGain, DMS_Bandit_Vehicle_RepGain.
* Changed default value of DMS_Bandit_Static_MoneyGain to 75,
DMS_Bandit_Static_RepGain to 15.
* NEW FUNCTION: DMS_fnc_SpawnAIVehicle.
* You can now spawn AI in vehicles.
* Improved cleanup method for AI in static guns.
* Working on improving OnKilled EH for AI in vehicles.
* FindSafePos should no longer check for parameters if the corresponding
blacklist radius is set to 0.
* 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```.
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
***!!!THIS COMMIT WILL NOT WORK. DO NOT BOTHER COMPILING IT. THIS IS
SIMPLY A "SAVE POINT"!!!***
I copied a lot of WAI stuff (specifically the config.sqf) as a template
for the desired levels of customization that I want in the end.
Created a couple unique DMS config values w/ comments (all variables
prefixed with DMS_ in config.sqf)
Created BroadCastMissionStatus (with a variety of options)
Edited cleanup.sqf to take ARRAY params. It also won't clean up objects
if there is a player within 20m of it (I will probably improve/replace
the function later)
Replaced original crate function with WAI (because of customizability.
Will probably rewrite using BIS_fnc_param)
Fixed the PBOPREFIX
MissionStatusCheck is set up the way I want it, with all functions it
uses ready as well.
Made Exile and exile_server_config a necessary addon.
Created preInit for compiling code (postInit simply launches it now)
All functions added/changed so far have debug reports (if
DMS_DEBUG=true)
