    Airbase, new scripting function getRunways for Airbase DCS object

    in Mission Editor

    Posted

    Hi,

     

    I saw a new function getRunways for Airbase object in DCS Scripting function, without documentation.

     

    This function returns a indexed table started at 1 for each runway of an Airbase with course, center of runway, length and width. course value seems strange because to have the good heading, you must set heading = - course (in rad). The last value is Name strange too.

     

    But, you can now define a rectangle for each runway of an airbase. I tested it on Caucasus and Nevada (Nellis) and it's correct 😉

     

    Hope that we can have soon ILS, for each side when existing.

     

    Pretty cool thanks.

    I remplaced  txt.init_pos = { h_center, v_center } with txt.init_pos = { 0, 0}  et set 

    local FONT = MakeFont({ used_DXUnicodeFontData = "font_dejavu_lgc_sans_condensed_17" }, { 0, 0, 0, 255 })  with 

    local FONT = MakeFont({ used_DXUnicodeFontData = "font_dejavu_lgc_sans_condensed_17" }, { 255,255,255, 255 })

    Bonjour à tous,

     

    DCS 2.7 nous a conduit à retester et quelques dysfonctionnements dus à DCS nous ont contraint à ajuster nos développements.  Du coup, nous avons pris un peu de retard et espérons une publication au cours de la première quinzaine de Juin, si tout va bien.

    DLL extensions

    in How To Mod for DCS World

    Posted · Edited by sunski34

    Hi, I saw this topic and trying to build my own DLL to add it to my GUI lua file. My DLL is found but the module isn't loaded. Try with and without Base Address set in VS 2019 linker configuration. Not sure this Base Address is needed.

     

    My Cpp code, nothing else than dllmain.cpp generated by VS 2019 :

      

    #include "pch.h"

extern "C" {
#include "lua.h"		  // the includes for the 64 bit LUA libray
#include "lualib.h"
#include "luaconf.h"
#include "lauxlib.h"
}


static int imult(lua_State* L)
{
	double a, b;

	a = (double)lua_tonumber(L, 1);	// get all position report data from the stack
	b = (double)lua_tonumber(L, 2);
	
	lua_pushnumber(L, a * b);

	return 1;
}


static int  EndOfApplication(lua_State* L)
{
	// do all clean up for your DLL here in
	return 0;
}

/***********************************************************************************

	 COMMENT:  This is the 	standardized list of all functions in your DLL. The first
			   entry is the name that LUA understands, the second is the pointer to
			   the DLL function

	 GROUP:	   LUA DLL


	*/


static const luaL_Reg Map[] = {
	{"mult", imult},	 // receives a position report from the LUA script
	{NULL, NULL}
};


/***********************************************************************************

	 COMMENT:  This is the 	DLL entry point. The LUA loader searches for this function
			   to be called. Take special car to the name of the function. In this case
			   LUAext must be the name of the DLL

	 GROUP:	   LUA DLL

	 ENTRY:	   lua_State

	 EXIT:	   int loaded by luaL_register onto the stack

	*/




extern "C" __declspec(dllexport)  int luaopen_ATMEDll(lua_State* L)
{
	luaL_register(L, "Test", Map);	   // register the list of function
	return 1;
}

     

    Actually :

    • Lua 5.1 compiled in X64 env -> Ok got my lua51.lib
    • VS 2019, create my dll in X64 Release conf -> Ok build ok.
    • The DLL has been copied in Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods\tech\ATME\bin which name is ATMEDll.dll. In the folder, only that file is present.

    My lua file is simple :

      

    -- ATME GameGUI
-- tests


do
	-- local myPath = lfs.writedir()
	local dllATMEModPath = lfs.writedir()..'Mods\\tech\\ATME\\bin\\'
	package.cpath = package.cpath..";" .. dllATMEModPath .. "?.dll"

	local ATMEDll = require "ATMEDll"   -- loads the DLL

	local ATMECallbacks = {}

	function ATMECallbacks.onMissionLoadEnd()
		
	end

	function ATMECallbacks.onSimulationStart()
		if DCS.isMultiplayer() == false then
			log.write("[ATME]",log.INFO, "Mission starts in SP")
			trigger.action.setUserFlag("Test", 1)
		else
			log.write("[ATME]",log.INFO, "Mission starts in MP")
		end
	end

	function ATMECallbacks.onSimulationFrame()
		
	end

	function ATMECallbacks.onPlayerConnect(id)
		local player = net.get_player_info(id)
		log.write("[ATME]",log.INFO, "New player " .. player.name .. " connected")
	end
	
	function ATMECallbacks.onGameEvent(event, id, slot)
		if event == "change_slot" then
			if DCS.isMultiplayer() == true then
				local player = net.get_player_info(id)
				log.write("[ATME]",log.INFO, "New player " .. player.name .. " starts")
			else
				log.write("[ATME]",log.INFO, "Player starts in SP")
			end
		end
	end

	function ATMECallbacks.onPlayerDisconnect(id,err_code)
		
	end

	DCS.setUserCallbacks(ATMECallbacks)

	log.write("[ATME]",log.INFO, "ATME successfully loaded")

end

     

     My lua script works perfectly without the require line of course.

    But when started DCS I have that :

      

    2021-05-20 07:52:57.904 DEBUG   LuaGUI: Failed to exec user hook script ATMEGameGUI.lua: error loading module 'ATMEDll' from file '...\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods\tech\ATME\bin\ATMEDll.dll':
	Le module spécifié est introuvable.

     

    ... is the begining of the path, and good of course.    "Le module spécifié est introuvable" means "The specified module could not be found."

     

    I think it's a calling convention problem or a VS environment configuration. 

     

    Any idea ?

     

    Thanks in advance

    Scripting aircrafts tasks with lua -> Main task or role task. Is it possible to change it during a mission ?

    in Mission Editor

    Posted · Edited by sunski34

    As a conclusion,  there's no way to change a group with "Nothing"  main task to any attack main task when group has been spawned. I must create for example a group with  "Ground Attack" main task in ME (or directly in script with addGroup) and set the Weapon Hold value to ROE option to have a group ready to engage.

     

    Am I right?

    Scripting aircrafts tasks with lua -> Main task or role task. Is it possible to change it during a mission ?

    in Mission Editor

    Posted · Edited by sunski34

    Hi Grimes,

     

    Yes, I thought that the rules for tasking were like you asked.  But the real problem is with the "Nothing" main task.

    For example, two missions with only a 'AttackMapObject' task and a group with one AV-8. The aircraft group is set to 'Nothing' in ME for the first mission and to 'Ground Attack' for the other. You can notice at 12:00:50 that the group fires an AGM65 in the mission called "test attack with Ground Attack.miz", but do nothing in the other one.

     

    I thought that the "Nothing" main task has a limited option like "weapon hold" set, but same result, with "Nothing" main task, the aircraft group never open fire when a attack, bombing or other task is set.

     

    Here is the very simple script  : 

    local zone = trigger.misc.getZone("MapTarget")


local task = {
	id = "AttackMapObject",
	params = {
		point = {x = zone.point.x, y =zone.point.z},
		weaponType = 262144, -- FireAndForgetASM
		expend = "Half",
	},
}

local group = Group.getByName("Bombardier-1")

group:getController():pushTask(task)

     

    In the other hand, when the aircraft group fly over ennemies with that pushed task and have "Ground Attack" main task, it engages ennemies. If you want the group do nothing, you have to set option WEAPON_HOLD :

      

    local zone = trigger.misc.getZone("MapTarget")


local task = {
	id = "AttackMapObject",
	params = {
		point = {x = zone.point.x, y =zone.point.z},
		weaponType = 262144, -- FireAndForgetASM
		expend = "Half",
	},
}

local group = Group.getByName("Bombardier-1")

-- Weapon Hold
group:getController():setOption(AI.Option.Air.id.ROE, AI.Option.Air.val.ROE.WEAPON_HOLD)
--
group:getController():pushTask(task)

     

    And finally, when the aircraft group fly over ennemies with that pushed task and have "Nothing" main task, it never engages ennemies even if WEAPON_FREE option set :

      

    local zone = trigger.misc.getZone("MapTarget")


local task = {
	id = "AttackMapObject",
	params = {
		point = {x = zone.point.x, y =zone.point.z},
		weaponType = 262144, -- FireAndForgetASM
		expend = "Half",
	},
}

local group = Group.getByName("Bombardier-1")

-- Weapon Free
group:getController():setOption(AI.Option.Air.id.ROE, AI.Option.Air.val.ROE.WEAPON_FREE)
--
group:getController():pushTask(task)

     

     

    So, when main task "Nothing" is set, is there something to do to force aircraft group to engage ?

     

    Thanks in advance

    Scripting aircrafts tasks with lua -> Main task or role task. Is it possible to change it during a mission ?

    in Mission Editor

    Hi,

     

    The good working of DCS tasks assigned to an aircraft group depends on the Main TASK or ROLE defined in ME or when spawning (string task value in lua). For exemple "Ground Attack" is necessary to have a good working of the "AttackGroup" task.

     

    But, when the group has been spawned, is it possible to change it  during the mission, of course with a lua function  ?

     

    Thanks in advance for your returns.

    Sunski.
