New Release: SEDCS v3.3.0, SEDB33A, MP4 v4.75x

[102nd-HR-cmirko]

thanks mate

[IV/JG7_4Shades]

Minor MP updates:

*) Supply Points toggle function appearance depends on presence of Supply Points and/or Supply Drops (Luny)
*) Removed ability of CC transporters to overload freight.
*) Wind-affected airbases with no supply have recoloured airbase tooltip text.

These changes appear in v4.774

DCS bug patch: v3.3.4

*) Corrected drivable vehicle logic to register smoke events as pseudo-landing events. This avoids the unfortunate case where an upturned vehicle is incapable of issuing a "Landed" event, thereby being counted as destroyed under the "Enforce Pilot Landings" campaign option.
*) Corrected logic for issuing campaign notices for recon photos of industrial assets (JG26_Badger)

Downloadable from the usual place. This DCS is backwards-compatible with SEDB33A and prior DCS v3.3.x versions, and can be used immediately with existing SEDB33A campaigns.

Cheers,

Many thanks Mike.

Now, when a mission is just downloaded or analyzed, we can see "xx Prior Missions" in the MP. Very nice just before flying for remember the orders or after analyzing for check the real movements

[IV/JG7_4Shades]

Yes, I like "xxx Prior Missions" too. Unfortunately, top-ups are not shown in that list - just be aware.

Now, a new update is ready. This contains the "West Front 44" map plus a few minor tweaks of the new tooltip code. Before installing the updated MP files, please note:

1. The update will alter your MP-Connection.php and MP-Admin.php files, which manage your DB connection settings for the MP. Make a backup of these before proceeding.

2. The updated MP will have a new sector called "West Front 44". The MP will not load correctly unless this MP sector points to a DB that contains the necessary basic information for "West Front 44". None of the basic SEDB33A databases contain this data. To help fix this I have made available a DB "patch" script that will add the required data for "West Front 44" to any existing MySQL SEDB33A database. This patch file is called "SEDB33A_WestFront44_patch.zip" [edit: this filename didn't work, so also look for "WestFront44.zip"]. Just unzip it then execute the resulting SQL file on the DB you wish to add "West Front 44" data to. For example, you might simply add the data to your Default DB connection, and associate the "West Front 44" sector to the Default connection. Bingo, your MP should now load happily.

If you do this right, you should then see the result of Dore's tremendous work in capturing this wonderful new map for SEOW. Another stunning SEOW mapping job by JP.

Cheers,
4Shades

Absolutely

Patch update for DCS: v3.3.5

This is fully compatible with SEDB33A databases and campaigns. Changes/features include:

*) Revised reporting of recon events to Campaign_Notices (JG26_Nuke)
*) Corrected non-pilot crew member error for enforced landings and recon/paratrooper/supply missions.
*) Revised Complex Ground Movement classifications to group armour classes (T*) with mechanized infantry (VMI) under a new heading of "Tracked" vehicles, replacing the old "Armour"-specific heading (Brandle)

Now available at the downloads site.

Cheers,

A few interesting new features will appear shortly:

MP v4.780: new icons for aerial photos (provided by Luny); new "check flight" tool developed from the coop generator by Mr. MG
Statistics v1.160: support for tallying AI crew losses
DCS v3.3.6: corrected handling of loadouts from air supply points; support for tracking AI aircrew disposition

These changes require a new table in the DB, which can be created in any MySQL database using the following script:

Code: Select all

CREATE TABLE `AI_Crew_Disposition` (
  `Mission` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
  `Disposition` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
  `Air_Regiment` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
  `Alignment` varchar(10) DEFAULT NULL,
  `Command_Index` varchar(10) DEFAULT NULL,
  `Crew_Index` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `Skill` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `Airframe_Type` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
  `Airframe_Class` varchar(10) DEFAULT NULL,
  `Event_Time` varchar(20) DEFAULT NULL,
  `X` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `Y` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  KEY `Statistics` (`Mission`,`Alignment`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

If you are thinking of upgrading your SEOW software during any current campaigns, make sure you add the new AI_Crew_Disposition table to your DB first. Adding the table will not break anything even if you don't upgrade your MP or DCS.

The contents of this table will be managed by the new DCS, and will be scanned by the new Statistics engine. Now, there will be good reason to reduce AI casualties in your campaigns!

Cheers,

Great! Thanks Mike.
I'm waiting for SEDCS v3.3.6 installer.
All others datas are OK.

I think that CoopGenerator needs some explanations

I hope to be ready for our new campaign ( August 31).

[IV/JG7_4Shades]

Minor MP fix: added a proximity check for temporary airbases in freight tools. This brings freight loading/unloading distances for these airbases into the normal distance limits. Thanks to JG26_Nuke for noticing the bug.

Autoupdater for v4.781.

[IV/JG7_4Shades]

DCS v3.3.6 now available for download. This version *requires* the new AI_Crew_Disposition table to be present in the DB (see the table creation SQL script a couple of posts above).

Cheers,
4Shades

[PA-Dore]

All updated.
MP v4.781
SEDCS v3.3.6
Statistics v.1.160

Very nice tool CoopGenerator. Useful for checking loadouts, weather, aircraft on the map campaign.

I'm waiting for the first mission statistics using AI_Crew_Disposition Table...

[PA-Dore]

It works fine

[IV/JG7_4Shades]

Minor bug patches:

MP v4.789
*) Added proximity test for temporary airbases in BaseName() function (JG26_Nuke)
*) Removed secret factories from waypoint target selector (independent of factory recon level) (PA_Dore)
*) Corrected font colour for weather tooltip
*) Added space character for freighter tools to separate Qty from Wt.
*) Improved some more character formatting in transporter tooltips.
*) Added freight repacking functions to MP-Misc.php - these are called by MP-UnitBearing.php, MP-FreightLoader.php and MP-FreightUnloader.php to ensure that freight follows the movements of transporting units. (Luny)
*) Added glider flights to air movements in SchedMissions.
*) Improved mapping support for Iwo Jima.
*) Improved handling of glider flights.
*) Removed (Withdraw) airbases from reinforcement destination list (PA_Dore)
*) Added more information to isInCCCI() functionality. Now HQ ranges are shown for airbases and Road Supply Points, and if the commander tries to click waypoints for a unit out of CC an alert is issued.

Statistics v1.161
*) Corrected total aircrew loss values in MP-CumulativeLosses.php
*) Ensured that background style mapping for "damaged" events works across language packs in MP-MissionDetails.php.
*) Added language translations to PilotStatus in Mission History table of MP-PilotDetails.php

SEDCS v3.3.7
*) Added wind dispersion to paratrooper assault landing positions (Luny)
*) Corrected subAllocateAirLosses to take captured airframes into account (JG26_Nuke)
*) Corrected loadout code for top-ups
*) Added support to track and store AI crew dispositions
*) Added modUtilities.packFreight() routine to ensure that freight follows the freighter!

Minor bug patches (new patch filedownloadable from Sourceforge):

MP v4.793
*) Added a test to getMouseXY() for out of supply units
*) Corrected isInCCCI() for spy units (Sjonnie)
*) Extra Iwo Jima support by Hawk5
*) Added CoopGenerator template properties files to the CVS tree.
*) Added tool to allow Admin user to change unit names (Brandle)
*) Corrected editSchedMissions tool to prevent it breaking supply point fuel restrictions. (Badger)
*) Made the editSchedMissions() div appear next to the relevant SchedMission.
*) Corrected regexp formatting in UnitSelector drop down.
*) Added code in reinforcement tools to strip trailing quotes from some aircraft regiments. This problem seems to be caused by failures of the PHP addslashes() call used for ADOODB in MP-SQL.php.

Statistics v1.161
*) Correct the initialization of the interrogation flag for no-combat missions in MP-MissionDetails.php (Hitcher)

Enjoy!
