MOOSE - Mission Object Oriented Scripting Framework

[FlightControl]

FYI the link to the test missions at http://flightcontrol-master.github.io/MOOSE/ is throwing a 404

 

Thank you. The one at the bottom of the page right? I'll check it and fix it. At least now I know somebody is reading those manuals. ::music_whistling:

On top of my reply, there is a link higher at the page too... That one works.

Thanks for the video for CAP, just in the right time, when i want to build something like this into a mission.

 

Do you have a 'system' for ground war, where you have a frontline - one side defend on side attack and each side could fallback or advance dependent on own strength and opponent strength?

Yes and no.

 

Yes, because you can easily setup a front line engagement using the SPAWN class.

For this, I advise you check the gori valley mission video series. I've just only created 4 videos, but check out the 2nd one, and the briefing one.

 

 

No, because there is no "front line" governor in the framework.

 

Concerning the CAP, this is currently in beta. In our group we're just discussing how it can be made more efficient and govern the patrol of groups of planes in a more coordinated fashion.

Thanks, i will take a close look into your Gori valley mission videos.

Hi, FlightControl.

I don't know how to use SET_CLIENT:ForEachClientInZone

 

Can I See any Example?

I already saw your all video in your youtube channel.

 

but I didn't find about this.

thank you FC.

Will try to make a demonstration mission to show you how to use the API.

Have a look at this test mission:

 

https://github.com/FlightControl-Master/MOOSE/tree/master/Moose%20Test%20Missions/ZON%20-%20Zones/ZON-510%20-%20Send%20message%20if%20Clients%20fly%20the%20first%20time%20in%20the%20Polygon%20Zones

 

-- Name: ZON-510 - Send message if Clients fly the first time in the Polygon Zones
-- Author: Wingthor and FlightControl
-- Date Created: 20 January 2017
--
-- # Situation:
--
-- There are a couple of player slots of Su-25Ts, that need to fly through two poly zones. 
-- Once a player flies through a poly zone, a message will be sent. But only once. If he flies back through the same zone,
-- nothing is displayed anymore. Unless he logs off and rejoins the mission.
--
-- # Test cases:
-- 
-- 

local PolyZoneGroup1 = GROUP:FindByName("PolyZone1")
local PolyZoneGroup2 = GROUP:FindByName("PolyZone2")

local PolyZone1 = ZONE_POLYGON:New( "PolyZone1", PolyZoneGroup1 )

     function( MooseClient )
     
       -- Here we register the state of the client in which step he is in.
       -- We set the state of the client "ZoneStep" to 0, indicating that he is not out of the first zone.
       local function ResetClientForZone( MooseClient )
         BASE:E("Reset")
         MooseClient:SetState( MooseClient, "ZoneStep", "0" )
       end
       
       BASE:E( { "Alive Init", Client = MooseClient } )
       MooseClient:Alive( ResetClientForZone )
     end
   )
 end, {}, 1
)

Yes, but it is good to let the mind wander...

 

Please, take care to look after your work / life balance.

I remember you stepping back from this a while ago, and for very good reason.

 

As much as you getting back into MOOSE and the community again, is appreciated, I have a feeling you put a lot of time into this project.

 

The videos, the demo missions, everything. Do not spend all private time on this. Family and health is important, in fact, far more important than anything. It's a hobby after all. ;)

 

Just to let you know I've taken the first steps with MOOSE and it is a fantastic toolset for dynamic missions and opens a whole new world of options for mission building.

Can't thank you guys enough for this contribution to DCS.

 

Take care and relax from time to time.

Hi Shagrat.

 

I thank you for your message.

There is not much I need to add to it.

You are a nice person.

 

And by the way. Many people active on this forum could evaluate the underlying message of your mail also, for themselves.

 

Let me send you a PM.

I can only second that

OK. 3 days (moving) and I can really dig into MOOSE. I have been watching the new videos, but have not read the various instructions recently. I read the original stuff a while back but it went right over my head. So with that said, a stupid question and a couple observations.

 

Stupid question. If I want various "parts" of MOOSE in a mission do I just copy and paste those bits into a single big script file or does each thing need to be its own file with multiple different 'do script file' triggers at the start?

 

Observations: FlightControl you are obviously a really smart guy. This thing you've made seems hella cool. However, the first "tutorials" you put out were....... well... cruddy, at dumbing it down for the not smart at this stuff guys... like me. :) I really wanted to use it but couldn't quite get a handle on it based on your explanations.

 

I say the above because, wow man, big leaps and bounds recently with your videos. It's starting to click for me. The side by side script file and ME window, huge thumbs up. Please, please, please keep up the "if you want x, then do y, let me show you" format. If you want to explain the genius of your system, make a separate video. In the tutorial videos KISS. I know they're working for me and I'll bet they are drawing other mission builders with a tentative grasp on scripting to your system.

 

That ended up being long. Sorry. In case it didn't come across... all the above was just a big compliment. :)

 

Can't wait to start using this now. Keep up the good work. Thanks much!

I've been having the same trouble getting onto the ground floor. I think bringing it down to our level is something he's going to try-

 

I did have some correspondence with him and I think he knows how to bring us in.

 

Depending on how busy he is we might see a video on the subject soon!

[FlightControl]

Today is weekend. Horse riding at 14.30 with the kids.

Tomorrow violin lessons and a concert from my 3nd daughter, who is 10 :-)

I like to cook. I'll enjoy making waffles this afternoon.

 

The next time I'll be looking into moose videos is Monday or Tuesday.

Hope you can wait till then... Will make some videos to get the starters on board.

And redo the videos to get the environment setup, completely with tools et all.

 

Thank you really for the nice messages and appreciation.

I must have been living under a rock! I was just thinking about building a DCS mission that could run perpetually with a high degree of replayability with minimal creation time and effort. Looks like this is it!

 

Great work Flight Control! I look forward to learning and mastering this.

I'm just getting into it and built a small mission that has AI spawning forever and patrolling zones randomly. I have posted it to the missions area but its not approved as of yet. Once it is will make a post in the forums.

 

Only took about 15 lines of code once I looked at some of the samples etc. And I never wrote anything with LUA before or really created much of anything in the mission editor.

 

There is a lot of activity and help on the Slack channels. FlightControl will invite you in if he hasn't already.

[dooom]

yeah -ive been loving what im seeing with moose... is there any possibility the framework can support dropping beacons like ctts?

Ehh... Syntax error... %$#@!?...

 

Just kidding ...

 

What do you mean with ctts? Maybe elaborate a bit.

[dooom]

ctts is the Complete Troop Transport Script by geloxo ... it is a very popular script being used by many of the helicopter mission designers as it allows for the simulated transporation and pickup of troops by helo along with the associated F10 menu commands. It can also allow clients to drop beacons and build forward site units like SAM sites and outposts by transporting crates. Although i know MOOSE has some great board/unboard abilities within, I am unsure how to expand this transportation to mimic the wider funtionality of CTTS yet in terms of the beacons etc.

 

another neat function of CTTS is that the dropped infantry will seek out the enemy i believe. I think this could be achieved with moose by transporting and then using the patrol zone capabiliities but im unsure yet..

i am super looking forward to the setup videos to get my eclipse setup finally all squared away (im stuck at that add DCS to the build part :) ) as soon as i get past that, i'll start playing with LDT and the test missions you provided.

 

great stuff FC!

This is where I'm at with it too. I got eclipse (neon 2?) loaded- I think that's what we needed? Or no?

 

I downloaded the whole moose master folder from github- not sure if that was right (sorry, not really familiar with it).

 

I'm not sure what file needs to be loaded in eclipse... from there I can see the various missions that help you add what content you want. I know FC is busy today- maybe someone else can weigh in?

[Delta99]

Update, my mission built with Moose is available now here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/2333673/index.php

yup - you are right on track - there is a youtube development tools setup video that FC did that walks through setting up eclipse/logedit/github etc... from what i see on git, there is a plan to get a new develpment environment setup video up real soon to help us new folks get up and running... some of the framework file structure is not the same as what was in the tutorial vid anymore so i think it stumbled a few of us up...

 

i am really looking forward to it now that i have watched his demonstration videos.
