Whoa that's awesome, I'll try it out thanks!

@DangerzoneCould you supply a .miz file example of your implementation. This is very interesting to me. I'm currently creating a mission editor program for mission editors to make it much more simplistic to add in all the script mods (non-plane). Incorporating yours might give great advanced capabilities.

Wow this is awesome, I wonder if you can just replace the ["type"] = "IL-76MD", with CH-47 mod and it'll work?

This is absolutely excellent! I have one request, in the script could you create an option to turn off F10 marker or MGRS? That way the mission designer has a little customization on how real they want to make it?

Here are my final equations that I'll try, just posting this in case someone wants to chime in that it should be different. I'll test it anyway. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- (edited) Napalm Bomb Impact Calculation: Math Complexity: Quadratic Function, Basic Algebra, Geometry Main Problem: Known: drop_position x1, y1, z1, t1 drop_height = z1 drop_time = t1 drop_velocity x1, y1, z1 Desired: impact_position = x2, y2, z2 Final Calculated: (broken into x, y, z components) x2 = x1pos + x1vel(t2-t1) y2 = y1pos + y1vel(t2-t1) z2 = (-9.81)(t2-t1)^2 + z1vel*(t2-t1) + z1 Note: -9.81 is gravity m/s^2 ... we need grid units... - due to this, we need to conduct a true experiment with only 1 unknown variable ... gravity in grid units. - let's setup an experiment, drop smallest bomb possible and accurately hit a target. With this we will get drop event (x1, y1, z1) and additional hit event for the ground unit (x2, y2, z2). - let's deal with wind and other factors later Side Problem: Known: Solve for g --> gravity in grid units z2 = (g)t^2 + z1vel(t2-t1) + z1 g = ((z2 - z1) - z1vel(t2-t1)) / ((t2-t1)^2) Now plug g back in to Final Calculated above and solve for x2, y2, z2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Project: I'm looking to create fire effect from dropping napalm. (teaser sample below) I cannot figure out what the the values are in. what is unitpos.x.z and unitpos.x.x mean? is this the x value in accordance to x plane? As far as the negative value ... should I just assume velocity and some others should just be absolute value? What is the x, y, z values associated to? I assumed environment grid coords that we routinely convert lat, long to x,y. Problem is it doesn't seem to change much when I change it's location so I'm not sure what it's correlated to. What does get unit:getPosition() then? So i have time t, position (x, y, z) ... where z is height, heading in -pi to pi radians?, pitch in angle for x.y quadratic equation, y = -9.81x^2 + height

@ESAc_matador If we use your demo mission, it works. If you try to use it in your own mission it does not record units. Could you update the code so that we can use it in our mission still?

Ah so DCS Server Stats I got to load in SQL and their webpage worked a somewhat but it was broken overall and I couldn't figure out how to fix it. Their code was too complex for me. I ended up moving on to Perun. This has been VERY VERY successful and have built everything upon that at this point. I try to take some pointers from others, but it's difficult. If you want stats ... my suggestion is go with Perun. It took a lot of time to built the stats page and such though. Huge time sync for me but I learned a lot.

OOOooooooo ... now if we could just add the BK90 effect to the MK-77 firebomb and try with the A4 Mod ... how hard would it be to do that? just the effects and keep the warhead ... can't be that hard. I added a github request on the A4 to see if they could do something for it .

Amazing module man. I was wondering do you have any code like from Hercules that allows the troops and cargo that are dropped to actually stay and appear as cargo and ammo crate after it's dropped? Right now troops fall through the map and ammo crate does too ... it's really cool but just for looks. If you have it, can you share the Cargo file that you load? I believe the cargo would have to be ctld. However, if you don't drop it and you just despawn on say a FARP then the ammo would be loaded. I would just be happy with trooops ending up on the ground though that would be awesome. We need a file to run in order to get the cargo to place in the game so when you drop troops they appear in the game. I know you're done with this you mentioned, but if anyone could get this to work it would make something great become something amazing I think. Two files need to be created: 1. Hercules_Cargo.lua --> Look at for reference 2. Hercules_Cargo_CTLD.lua --> Look at for reference I'm guessing you already know this, I can't imagine that you'd spend all this time making this module and not get those two parts to work. Would love to get those files if you have them working for your excellent mod.

OMG look at that skewed vote, now you're gonna have to do it ED!

First off, I can't believe you responded ... thank you! Really! well darn I'll edit that then, still have to thank you for your original post way back with the huge page of information. I'm trying to post something for people who don't code at all to be able to put up a stats to a web server + a radar map like you've got going there. I think if this sort of thing was more accessible maybe more mods and additions would come out of it. Can you share any more information than the page or any github references you know about to try for someone who doesn't code as deeply as you do xcom?

(NOTICE - I did not create any of these ... I do not claim any rights to any of these different works) UPDATE: As I learn things, I will update this as I learn. Currently Working on: Iwill hopefully be getting the radar map stats to work from DCS Stats Server Summary: This is a list and instructions set for DCS Stats; pulling stats, posting to server, posting to discord Note: Please comment back on guides you've learned or fixing certain files or elements or additions of code and elements to help every DCS server be able to post stats results as they please. This new post is meant to be a questions and guide forum post. ------------------------------------------------------- How to Add Slmod (in game stats, easiest one to display in game ) 1. Download latest file here: https://github.com/mrSkortch/DCS-SLmod 2. Put the Scripts file in on you server build of the user ... saved games ... dcs openbeta ... scripts folder 3. load dcs server 4. rest of files will populate 5. take down dcs server 6. then edit the 'config' file inside the new slmod folder that populated for your options (including folder for missions you can load) I will add my file if you want to start off with those options 7. put dcs server back up 8. type in commands in chat, only in MP (Tab) -help Note: be sure to setup admin password and register yourself as admin first so you can have all the powers! ------------------------------------------------------- DCS Stats(2 parts, A & B): A) Pulling Stats + B)Hosting those Stats on a server Methods: (3 different ways ... or create it yourself 1: (SLSC[i] [pulling stats via lua converting to json] + Stats Server Hosting https://github.com/Bango1999/SLSC (SLbot[ii][discord + stats server hosting] https://github.com/flying-huckleberry/SLbot OR S3 Server[iii][stats server hosting])) https://github.com/Bango1999/S3 2: Perun[iv] (sql stats saving to mySQL DB and you have to host your own webserver and code your output it) https://github.com/szporwolik/perun 3: DCS Server Stats [v] which saves data to sql file and then sends to server via PHP / java, and then you can also have a live map of what's alive or dead??? still working on this one (you have to run mySQL, PHP, Apache, & Java ... probably should use XAMPP which integrates all of these into one app) https://github.com/cbacon93/DCSServerStats 4: DDC2[vi] ... complete dcs server control from discord + slmod stats integration in the future ... request has been sent https://github.com/ozdeadmeat/DDC2 ------------------------------------------------------- SLSC[i]: https://github.com/Bango1999/SLSC - put folder wherever you want (i put it in my dcs server ... user... saved games folder) - edit config.js file a) const serverURL = 'http://localhost:4000/'; to whatever port you want and OPEN your port on your router b) add 'servertoken' (you can generate a token from token generator in folder), c) adjust paths; names user, dcs ver, statspath d) adjust schedule of how often you want it to run - important note: you want to host these stats locally to yourself with SLSC and then have a stats server broadcast them to the outside - run Update_SLSC.bat - run SLSC.bat (RUN THIS BEFORE starting your dcs server) a. script will now run pulling slmod data --> convert lua to json ------------------------------------------------------- SLbot[ii]: https://github.com/flying-huckleberry/SLbot (in order to run this you must have node.js installed) : https://nodejs.org/en/download/ - put folder where you want (i put it in my dcs server ... user... saved games folder) - copy examples and configure 2 files 'tokens.json' & 'config.json' - edit config.json and add your external ip address ex: "url": "http://123.456.789.119/", - edit tokens.json and add token for server 0 (generator in main folder) and add token for discord bot (discord bot creation, i used two youtube vids to create it, will list below) - once finished editing those files, run update_SLbot.bat - run SLbot.bat - flip switch 'Web Server' and 'Bot Server' , (NOT DCS Server) - (server host) open browser (on server) goto --> localhost:4000 - (external people) open browser and goto http://123.456.789.119/ - you need to replace or update electron with latest version use -npm install electron https://www.electronjs.org/docs/tutorial/installation - WORKING IN GOOGLE CHROME NOTE: table-functions.js are the functions that output the data (right now this is broken and only displays hours and not deaths or kills ... if any of you could correct this and display it accurately, PLEASE post it as I would be very grateful of this help) Note: Bot Creation & Configuration I used these two you tube videos on how to do it 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcPSgh7hC34 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmKXBVdEV0g&t=1496s - just beginning part for 2. ------------------------------------------------------- S3 Server[iii]: https://github.com/Bango1999/S3 - put folder where you want (i put it in my dcs server ... user... saved games folder) - edit config.js --> name, port, and add a token (from token generator in main folder) - whatever port you use, must open that port on your router - run Update_S3.bat - (serverhost) open browser --> your external ip:1234 (1234 is the port) or figure out getting dns hosting - (external users) open browser to port or full ip address - s3_functions.js --> file that needs adjustment, website outputs only hours and not kills or deaths ... if someone could figure this code out and update it ...

Historically the earliest stats work I've seen work is from xcom in May, 2014. Who still runs his server today ... and that map on his website for his squadron 'buddyspike' .... looks like an advanced version of MINT However, as xcom stated below, he doesn't use any of this information I've provided above so it must be all custom made. Just goes to show how far you can take this, I would use http://gadget.buddyspike.net/ as an iconic example of using dcs stats to it's fullest. DCS Server Stats[v] uses this post below as a basis reference to create theirs so that's something!
