VEAF-Mission-Creation-Tools

All scripts, libraries and documentation needed to build a dynamic mission in DCS using the VEAF scripts

How to work on this package ?

See the demo mission TODO

What is this ? Is it like Moose ?

A bit like that, and not. It uses MiST (and a tiny teeny part of Moose, for air spawns) to handle lots of runtime functionality :

• spawning of units and groups (and portable TACANs)
• air-to-ground missions
• air-to-air missions
• transport missions
• carrier operations (not Moose)
• tanker move
• weather and ATC
• shelling a zone, lighting it up
• managing assets (tankers, awacs, aircraft carriers) : getting info, state, respawning them if needed
• managing named points (position, info, ATC)
• managing a dynamic radio menu
• managing remote calls to the mission through NIOD (RPC) and SLMOD (LUA sockets)
• managing security (not allowing everyone to do every action)
• define groups templates

And also lots of design-time functionality :

• automatically populating FARPs and grass runways with all that is neeed
• spawning things at the start of a mission (interpreter of data stored in a fake unit on the mission)
• normalizing a mission file (removing useless key in the dictionary, sorting everything) so it's easy to compare versions
• injecting radio presets globally (e.g. all blue F18 get a standard freq plan)
• injecting real weather in a mission

And probably other things I forget ;)
