DrKamikaze Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 Hello all, A good number of months ago (apparently 9 months according to my Github history), I spent about a month messing around in some Java and Swing to work on a project that has always interested me, and something that is lacking in DCS - a Dynamic Campaign Generator. The tool that I created really encompasses 5 separate tools that, when combined, represent a sort of Dynamic Campaign that can be done by the player: Air Campaign Generator (Map/Initial Situation Generation) Air Campaign Simulator ("Turn Based Simulation" of Package Movement, ATO) Air Campaign Mission Simulator DCS Mission Generator (Translate a campaign encounter to DCS Mission) DCS Mission Results Interpreter (Translate a DCS Mission to campaign results) While I bit off significantly more than I can handle, I made some ok progress on (1), (2), and (4). The reason I come to the forums today is that I would like to pick up where I left off, see if anyone is interested in taking a look at the tool, and to get some community outreach, as I had a couple nagging issues that prevented me from continuing previously (and killed any momentum I had built up at the time). Really, I am looking for people knowledable about the .miz format and how to properly get DCS to read that file format. From my research, it appears that the file format is simply a .zip file that has been renamed. In that file there is a set of files and a folder structure that appears to be rather static (same folders/files in the same places). It seems it should be as straightforward as creating the proper folder structure and files, and zipping that folder as a .miz file. I know there are other projects that also do this successfully. The DCS Mission Archive generation is the worst area of the code at the moment and needs a rewrite, so anyone who can point to what DCS expects of this (.miz) archive, and where I can get logs/debug issues with mission loading, that would be greatly appreciated. Project for Reference: https://github.com/lesniakbj/JDCG Thanks preemptively for any help! -DrK
