PA_Dore and II/JG54_Emil have contributed SEOW support for Tarawa. The MP is now incremented to v4.721 to include Tarawa - this new sector is available via the MPAutoUpdater.

Please Note:
Each new sector requires associated data to be entered into your corresponding database. Download the Tarawa Retrofit SQL script. Executing this script will add the required Tarawa information to any target SEDB32F database, allowing the database to support Tarawa functions in the MP and also Tarawa campaigns via DCS.

Autoupdater doesn´t work for me (Win7 64).
How can I update?

[IV/JG7_4Shades]

Hi Emil,

There is now a downloadable patch release for MP4public that increments the version from 4.710 to 4.722.

Changes
*) New Tarawa sector (PA_Dore, 5./JG54_Emil)
*) Extended New Guinea images for use with CHIMP mod pack (II/JG77Hawk_5)
*) CCCI workflow corrected for non-admin commanders (22GCT_Gross)
*) Moved CreateSupplyPoints form to a hidden DIV to fix wierd eventhandling problems in other tools (PA_Dore)
*) Corrected MP-ManageCampaign.php Reinforcements tool for incorrect transit references in Ground, Rail and Sea forces (22GCT_Gross)
*) Fixed skins+quotes bug where skins applied to aircraft with quoted verbose names broke the loadSkins() function in MP-Head.js. Fixed by using strEncode() on verbose names. (IV/JG7_Warg, 5./JG54_Emil)
*) Corrected behaviour of Forward Supply Points and Forward_Supply campaign setting. (=69.GIAP=Petr)
*) Corrected TopUp function (needed Tranist field to be incorporated)
*) Altered image name capitalization in Hawaii php pages (5./JG54_Emil)
*) Final Pilot_Roster tool, with READONLY features, and improved flight secrecy logic (22GCT_Gross)
*) Corrected SupplyDrop toggle error (PA_Dore);

*) Added yellow border to tasked units plus context menu toggle sched mission function (=69.GIAP=PETR)
*) Corrected unit relocation/reorientation logic (=69.GIAP=PETR)

Note that the patch includes a MP-Connection.php file that may break your own dtabase connections setup, so copy your old connections file and overwrite. You will need to add the Tarawa data to your default DB to view the Tarawa sector.

Enjoy!

New Statistics function to support reporting of recon photo events. This has been released via MPAutoUpdater, and is in Statistics v1.147.

The recon photo reporting can be enabled through the MP-StatisticsMetadata.php file. At the end of this file the following configuration parameters are found:

Code: Select all

$StatsLanguage = "English";  //Language support, only for Statistics engine.
$StatsShowSkills = true;     //Show aircraft skills in Mission Details page.
$StatsUseCache = true;       //Enable statistics page caching tools.
$StatsShowRecon = false;     //Display of recon events in chronological list.

To turn recon photo reporting ON, simply edit the file and set the variable to true. If caching is enabled, you will have to rebuild your campaign statistics cache from scratch.

The feature does NOT show the actual recon photo, nor does it list enemy targets identified. It simply reports which aircraft took photos, who was flying at the time, and when the photos were taken.

This information may be useful for players, but will also provide clever enemy players with more information than you might think. That is why the feature can be enabled or disabled easily by campaign admins.

This feature is developmental - if it is popular it might be extended to cover paratrooper assault events, leaflet drops, supply drops etc.

Cheers,
4S

Just ran the updater to test out the the new recon feature.

Was unable to load up the stats page at all. Error log was

PHP Parse error on line 22 of MP-StatisticsMetadata.php


Looks like there are a couple of strange lines in there and also a duplicate entry for statistics caching.

Hi Eric,

Looks OK to me. Maybe you have a bad copy. Try renaming the file and doing another update.

Another option is to download the file from the CVS tree. Have a look at http://seow.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ ... iew=markup

Ran the updater again and file came thru correctly.

Thanks

New Stats feature: Pilot Support Operations

This little table appears in the individual pilot service history pages (see the yellow insert in the image below).



This image shows part of II/JG77Hawk_5's service history in The Slot during the June 1942 campaign earlier this year. It shows the his totals of successful recon photos, supply drops, propaganda drops and paratrooper assaults. Available in Statistics v1.148.

A new DCS (v3.2.21) has been released. This version includes logic to expand the logging of campaign notices to include those recon photos that detect enemy units, supply drops, propaganda drops and paratrooper assaults.

Together with the recent Statistics engine additions that cover these kinds of combat support operations, we now have a way of enhancing the reporting and visibility of these crucial actions.

Cheers,
