v1.1 updated to fix issue with mission not being savable in mission editor

v1.2 updated to fix issue corrupting pylons with empty stations

 

The auto generated unit names aren't meaningful and renaming them manually is rather a chore. Meaningful unit names are helpful in the debriefing screen after missions, when trying to work out what shot you! I set about creating a lua script to automatically rename units based on their group name.

 

This zip contains a few scripts and various lua functions which load and save a mission lua file into a table. Being able to load and save the mission file potentially opens the door to automate other tasks, such as moving or exporting objects from one mission to another.

 

Some basic instructions:

 

Preparing The Environment:

1) Extract the Mission File Tools vx.x.zip into a folder.

2) Download a lua environment such as luaforwindows and install (http://code.google.com/p/luaforwindows/)

 

Using The Script:

3) Open .miz file with winzip or similar

4) Extract mission file and place anywhere

5) Edit SampleRenameUnits.lua:

a) set strMissionFile to the full path and filename, using double \\ rather than single \

b) set strSaveFile to the full path and filename of the output file - this can be the same as the input

c) set the number of characters to be taken from the group name and used in the unit name (intCharacters)

6) Launch SampleRenameUnits.lua in the lua environment (not DCS World)

7) Take the output mission file and rename to 'mission' if necessary (depending on what you set strSaveFile to)

8) Use Winzip or similar to insert the mission file into the .miz file.

9) Enjoy

 

An example of what this script does:

You have a mission with a group called "USA Tanks" made up of "Unit 1", "Unit 2", "Unit 3".

After running the script you will have a group called "USA Tanks" with units "USA Tan.1", "USA Tan.2", "USA Tan.3"

I like this. Where you the 3 lua files go? Into which folder?

 

Oh wait, these files have to be used outside the sim somehow, did I understand that correctly?

 

Being able to load and save the mission file potentially opens the door to automate other tasks, such as moving or exporting objects from one mission to another.

 

I like the remaming units idea, but I really am particularly interested in getting to this.

Great script! Awesome!

 

I found out:

 

Download luaForWindows, open the editor or use LExecutor, put in the "SampleRenameUnits.lua" file, give it the full path to your mission file, execute/run (F5 in the editor) and the mission file will be changed. :) Then put mission file back into mission miz and done!

 

Also, intCharacters is not setting the SUFFIX but the PREFIX of the unit's new names.

 

I got a problem though. After running the script I can not save the mission in the mission editor anymore when I change something. The save button keeps "pressed". If I try to exit the editor via the red exit button it asks me if I wanna save the mission. If I hit "yes" nothing happens. If I hit "no" I get back into the main menu but obviously the mission is not saved.

 

 

Puddlemonkey, what is going on there? :-/ Is it a mistake on my part?

Can you help me out man? I'll provide the mission file BEFORE I run the script and AFTER. The edited file is also much, much smaller than the original file. :-/

Hi,

 

I took a look at this and it turns out that mission files have some tables which are a combination of numbered (array) and labelled key elements. I have modified the script to deal with this. Hope it works, give it a try and let me know.

Nope, gives me an error.

 

I think it would be faster error detection if you did some testing yourself. I attached the mission I use to test out this script. It's just an empty plane and 20 tanks nearby. Maybe this will help you find issues faster? :)

I think it would be faster error detection if you did some testing yourself. I attached the mission I use to test out this script. It's just an empty plane and 20 tanks nearby. Maybe this will help you find issues faster? :)

Strange. I did of course test it. The first time, I didn't have planes in my missions so hadn't spotted the issue that you did.

 

However, I tested it with your previous mission inserted into a .miz and have just run it on your @MissionEditorTesting.miz. It renames the units, I can save in Mission Editor and I can even fly it (before and after the script).

 

So I'm stumped. Looking at your log, it looks like it can't open the zip file. I wonder about the filename or what you're using to extract and insert from the .miz zips. As I say though, it's all working for me, even with your files.

 

This is the miz after I have run the script and inserted the new mission into the zip.

I use winRar to do all the file transfers since it does it in real time. Just open the miz file with Winrar and drag and drop files back and forth.

 

I will test again and pay close attention I don't **** up.

 

Do you also get a SMALLER "mission" file after running your script?

 

EDIT: It works now. I have no idea why but I guess I ****ed up one of the file transfers.

 

Anyway, thanks a lot man.

I think the reason why the filesize is smaller is that I have used the tab character to indent rather than several spaces. Once compressed, I doubt it makes any difference.

 

Glad its working for you :-)

Thanks man.

 

 

Some more testing done and... The script changes loadouts. I am not sure how exactly, on what units etc. but here is the deal:

 

Check the two missions. After I run the script to rename the units the loadout of the SU25 has changed. Basically, one wing full of armament is gone. Also, when I open up the loadout window of the Su25 it tells me "loadout has not been saved, wanna save it as a new one"? So yeah, loadout is being touched by the script.

 

Maan, I think I will stick to hand naming for now. :-/ This looked so promising but I am afraid of trying this on anything bigger than a test mission right now.

 

It also seems to do weird stuff to AI.

Yep, it's clearly the script that is doing some work to the loadouts and also somehow to the AI behaviour.

After running the script not even a clean SU25 (delete old su25, save, add new one etc. save) will do the job, they will just crash into the ground. :(

Ok, that proved a tricky one. The lua ipairs iterator stops if there is a gap in the list (you didn't have a weapon on the 6th pylon so it would ignore 7 to 11.

 

Should be fixed now.

 

Also, when I run your 'BeforeScript.miz', it rams the ground too.

Yeah I probably did not do a clean mission. :-/ After running the script there are AI issues. On a clean mission it does not happen.

 

Daym, man I am tempted to give it another shot, haha. :D

And I did give it another shot.

 

It deletes my A-10's loadout. No matter what I had before, after running the script I am empty.

Same goes for other aircraft, the F15E I had , loaded with multiple GBU12s is not empty as well...

 

:(
