* 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.
* 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_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).
* 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```.
You can now give AI general gear items (like food/drink/meds) per class
Removed old mission files
