RWR mod

[nighthawk2174]

For a while now I've been keeping Tetra's RAE mod up to date to work with DCS, i've been wanting to add in the newer radars. But the way that the files associated with the A-10's rwr call the newer radars is different than the default radars.

 

For all the default radars each radar is giving a unique symbol and sound in two different files... "ALR69_param.lua and AN_ALR_SymbolsBase.lua... For the SymbolsBase and param file they get the types of radars from a set of files called: wsTypes_(type of radar) such as wsTypes_SAM.lua.

 

The newer radars though are not in these files, rather in the AN_ALR_SymbolsBase.lua they are called using:

 

 

 

symbols_strings ={

['MiG-21Bis'] = '21',

['F-5E-3'] = 'F5',

['M-2000C'] = 'M2',

['FA-18C_hornet'] = '18',

['J-11A'] = '29',

 

--0045150: Rapier is unknown on RWR

['rapier_fsa_blindfire_radar'] = 'RS',

['rapier_fsa_launcher'] = 'RT',

['SNR_75V'] = '02',--SAM SA-2 TR SNR-75 Fan Song

}

 

 

 

 

Lua scripting and how this new way of getting the symbols to work is beyond my knowledge of how DCS's system works. I was hoping someone well versed in lua could potentially figure out how I could also associate a unique sound to each of the newer radars like in the symbols file.

ALR69_param.lua

AN_ALR_SymbolsBase.lua
