Restructure v2.5

[jokoho48]

The Restructure is meant to clean the file/code structure and move functions that are not just used by one Module and are not module specific into the main module. while that we also should clean and move duplicated stringtable entries into main to keep the stringtables as small as possible.

Functions

• Debug?
  • DebugLog
  • DebugObjectColor
• doCallout
• gesture -> doGesture
• doSmoke
• doUGL
• eventCallback
• findBuilding
• findCover
• nearbyFriendly -> findNearbyFriendly
• findOverwatch
• findReadyUnits
• isAlive
• indoor -> isIndoor
• isNight

Settings

• Debug
• Gesture
• Callout

Stringtable

• Debug Settings
• Gesture Settings
• Callout Settings
• Unify Duplicated Entrys

Stringtalbe ;)

Lets do a team speak meeting

[nk3nny]

From meeting

1. Look into adding relevant ACE3 animations when available (for gestures and so on)
2. Consider also restructuring fsm
3. Suppressive fire module
4. Supportive CAS
5. Initial AI profiles (Forward Observer, Recon, Militia/Rebels)
6. Add option for 'autonomous reorganisation' i.e., autonomous formation changes
7. Add close autonomous manoeuvres for seizing nearby buildings
8. Look into adding post-battle assessment stage

[nk3nny]

With restructure consider renaming:

• fnc_gesture to fnc_doGesture
• fnc_coward to fnc_isCoward
• fnc_hideInside to fnc_doHide
• fnc_checkBody to fnc_doCheckBody

Thoughts?

Reminder for self:

Consider implementing a mod-wide disabling of enableAttack to give us better fine control of AI attack patterns. Units with the currentCommand "ATTACK" become wildly moody and difficult to manoeuvre with.

This would be an invasive change.

Memo to self:
Possibly add a CBA setting which stops units given WP/Modules from changing ACE3 style headless locality swapping.

this setVariable ["acex_headless_blacklist", true];

[nk3nny]

Add module which give a group the vanilla guard waypoint (and whatever enhancements we can provide or add to it). Possibly adding a second module to define new guard positions.

[nk3nny]

Small bugs:

• Units set to careless should exit FSM (modify isForced and brainForced.sqf
• It seems units are sometimes "locked" into a dodge cycle. This causes them to permanently backpedal. Will investigate
• Investigate "target_f" or "skeet_f" in doUGL.sqf -- use "CBA_buildingPos"

Suppression
Units are currently very suppression-happy. Will consider changing brainEngage to only allow "Can Fire" to trigger doSuppression, rather than also "Enemy Near".

Have noticed AI will sometimes suppress quite happily at nothings. Though this may be related to other features.

lambs_danger_CQB
The group variable "lambs_danger_CQB" is I think poorly named. A better reflection of it being a sympathetic storeroom of positions to check or suppress would be "lambs_danger_memory" or similar. Perhaps write a function which makes reading and modifying the variable easier.

Todo

• rename shareInformation to doShareInformation
• rename shareInformationRange to getShareInformationParams
• move all do functions to /main
• update .fsm to follow new variable names (groupMemory)
• move relevant /settings to /main folder
• move relevant EHs to main/wp
• use internal EHs in /danger to readd reinforcement system
• optionally add wrappers for moved EHs
• Forwards FRQ: Forward Danger Event #115
• fix known bugs (see below)
• write changelog
• test release
• release

Found bugs - 08.02.21

• vehicle.sqf -- should exit if unit unconscious
• vehicleSuppress.sqf -- error with AGLtoASL handling
• feature: check "enableSimulation" in available artillery
• debug draw setting showing errors @jokoho48 ?
• .editorconfig. bonanza

Discarded
Add settings for groupMemory feature <-- will require a restructure of a host of other features for very small gains.

#174
