OPEC Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 --- Pls. note that this is not my tool, a wingman from my squadron coded it, I just found it really usefull and wanted to share it with you guys - with his permission. --- Hey everyone, when I was building missions for my team we had the challenge that in our PvE Missions I built the hostiles forces and also the flight plans for our team. This is some work more, but more important it lead sometimes to excuses that the strategy I planned was bad. I took this feedback as an opportunity to give the strategic planning directly to the different flight leads and the have to figure out how to reach the mission goals without knowing every detail of enemy forces. For this scenario I built a python script which merges the flight plans into the PvE Mission by creating a new merged mission (not overwriting anything). This way Flightleads can create a flightplan directly from the mission editor including loadouts, Waypoints, radio settings liveries, etc. and my script simply takes this all into the final mission. It's open Source, free and worked great for our first two missions. So maybe some one find a good use for it as well: https://github.com/Grreg/dcs-mission-merger You can dm me if you have any questions - I will help where possible. Have a great weekend!

Shadow KT Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 Isn't this the same as the Save/Load Static Template function in the Mission Editor ? You can save a static template from one side, which captures basically everything, except triggers and trigger zones from both side and then using the load function, load in both sides in a new file. 'Shadow' Everybody gotta be offended and take it personally now-a-days
OPEC Posted August 1, 2021 Author Posted August 1, 2021 I don't know what that function does or not does tbh, so i can't comment on this on. I'll ask the dev about it.

Hey ShadowKT, thanks for the hint. It is indeed very similar and can replace this functionality almost completely! If I would have knew it earlier probably this would be the easier solution :D. There is only one feature which is not supported by the static templates: my script can filter the groups by the name and limit them, so basically no one can smuggle "hidden" units into the mission. But honestly speaking, I don't think this is important as the people making the flight plans are trustworthy enough. So yes, basically its pretty much the same. I am thinking about offering this as web solution, so you can drag and drop your mission files into it - select the groups and than merge into one environment mission, than it would become pretty handy to have this script and than this could be synced with the server ... but I don't have the time right now. My recommendation for people not familiar with Python-Programming (and having fun to use it): -> Use the static templates from the Mission Editior as recommended by ShadowKT (thanks for the hint!) I currently don't see any downside using the static templates. 1
