updated Release: Milsim Tools

[Mr H. 402]

EDIT: this description is waaayyy outdated, I ,alas, have been very lazy with documenting all it can do... Best way to know everything it has to offer is to read the changelog of releases which I DO keep up to date and documented. One day I promise I will document everything....😉

MRH Milsim Tools is a mod aimed at expanding the possibilities of scenarios for milsim units, as well as adding permanent features to missions. It is first and foremost meant to be used in milsim scenarios in multiplayer. Though some features will still work in SP, a lot of them will not behave properly in a single player environment.

Please also note that a lot of the mod's features are built around the premise that most milsim units send dead players to a 'respawn bunker' from which they cannot escape until the end of the mission. So when killed a player will be considered 'dead' by the mod. An admin, or the use of the JIP menu can reset that status but if you use a different respawn scheme some things might not work properly.

While some parts of the mod are plug and play, most features will require to be added to the mission by the mission maker, and as such require some basic scripting knowledge.

A lot of tweaking options are available from CBA options menu.

This mod is in constant WIP, the idea being that each time I develop something for a mission for my unit I will include it here.

Current version: 1.17.6

localization: French and English

Requirement:
CBA_A3
ACE3
 

Features:

**Core features:**

Fully configurable team roster.

You can change team roster color theme, decide if you want to display AIs and AI groups, even show all sides in the roster.

Tracking of dead, alive, disconnected, reconnected players.

Players will be flagged 'dead' by the mod if they are killed and respawn, allowing you to know they are dead even if the 'alive _x' scripting command returns TRUE. The mod keeps a registry of dead and disconnected players, you can decide to kill players that where flagged dead upon disconnecting when they reconnect (optional).

Player intel data: Role, rank with NATO code, customizable rank insignia, radio frequency.

Alongside CBA's option to change group name in the lobby, you can set a radio frequency for each group. In the team roster,and on the soldier's tablet the name you defined for the group will be shown instead of default Arma group naming (Alpha 1-1 etc.). Radio frequency is optional, can be set and will be shown in the lobby and on the player's PDA but does not affect either ACRE2 or TFAR radio frequencies.

Admin warnings for current death toll.

Whenever a player dies, admin is prompted a hint (this feature can be disabled). You can set a percentage of acceptable death ratio upon which the admin menu will automatically open allowing you to end the mission or allow players to respawn.

Setting to remove map for players that are not formation leaders AFTER the briefing screen.

Players with a map in their inventory will keep it during the briefing stage, useful if you do your briefings before launching the mission, but if you enable this option, only group leaders will keep the map once in game.

Short automated cut scene when players join in.

A small cutscene where the camera moves from above the player to first person view will play (locally of course) when the player joins the game (optional, can be disabled).

Removal of disconnected players bodies.

Bodies of disconnected players will automatically be deleted thus preventing looting by other players! (optional, can be disabled).

Enhanced and configurable JIP menu.

Whenever a player Joins In Progress the JIP menu will open allowing them to rejoin their group (optional, can be disabled). You can decide to show all sides in the menu (useful for PVP missions) and include AI groups with playable units. The player can join any other player they select, if the selected player is in a vehicle and the vehicle has free cargo place the player will be moved inside the vehicle. Players cannot join other players if their vehicle is full. Players inside a vehicle are marked with an icon, the icon is red if the vehicle is full.

The mod includes a function to turn any object into a JIP menu access point.

When the JIP menu is used, a small cut scene plays for the teleported player and if they where flagged as 'dead' the mod flags them as 'alive' so you can use it to allow dead players back in the game.

Powerful admin menu.

The admin menu can only be opened by a logged in admin and therefore doesn't work in SP, it includes a lot of features, mission statistics, dead players, etc. From the admin menu you can end the mission with a default ending or with any ending defined in the mission's cfgDebriefings. You can reset a player's status if they have been flagged 'dead'. You can heal all players (ACE damages) or just the selected player. You can remotely open the JIP menu for a selected player or for all dead players. You can see the selected's player location on the map and apply some preset punishment for a given player (chicken on head, push ups etc.). Punishments can be customized from the mission's description.ext. Last but not least you can remotely edit any player's equipment (opens ACE arsenal).

PLEASE NOTE: As of now, limitations to ace arsenal only allow you to change uniform, vest and helmet and their contents. Backpacks and equipped weapons cannot be changed. I will work on a workaround solution in the next update.

**Soldier PDA and framework**

The mod includes a PDA item that can be accessed through ace self interactions >> equipment if the player has the pda in their inventory.

Access to personal data, map and team roster

Default tabs in the PDA include player self intel,a map (can be disabled) and a team roster.

Stopwatch, alarm and timer functionalities

The PDA has an alarm app that allows players to set an alarm or a countdown timer and includes a stopwatch feature.

Possibility to send, receive and collect data and pictures.

From your mission description.ext you can predefine data and pictures that can be added to the tab's gallery app or to the tab's data app. Each data or picture can be given separately and therefore discovered mid game. (2 functions are included that do just that). Data can be shared and transferred between players if they are within a ten meters radius of each other.

**Fiberscope**

Fiberscope Item

The mod includes a fiberscope item that allows equipped player to look under doors (ACE self interaction >> equipment). It only works if you are next to a door or a window.

**Vehicle spawner module**

Vehicle spawner

The mod includes a function to turn any object into a vehicle spawner, you can select what type of vehicles (see, land, air, all of them) the spawner will allow you to spawn. Mission makers and admins can decide which mods/ dlcs and factions are available from the spawner. The spawner works fine with vanilla assets, RHS, CUP and PROJECT OPFOR vehicles, some vehicles from other mod might not be listed properly depending on the mod's config files.

**Radio chatter module**

Play ambient radio chatter from a radio prop

The mod includes a function to turn any object (but preferably a radio prop) into a random radio chatter player. The radio can be turned on and off (ACE interaction) effects are global and the same chatter is played on every machine. By default I have included a US military radio chatter channel (with samples taken from the excellent TV show Generation Kill) but you can create your own channel with custom sounds either from the mission's description or by packing them into a custom addon (if you do so, please share!).

**Map markers**

Customized map markers

I have also included a shit ton of customized map markers all of them are available to mission makers, and some of them (not all, so has not to overcrowd the icons tab) to the players.

**Hacking and downloading tool**

A hacking tool object is included, you can still disable a CBA option if you want to allow players to perform hacks and data download without the item in their inventory.

Hacking and downloading tool item

Two functions are included to make objects hackable, while hacking or downloading content players can still move but they have to stay within range of the objects.

**Miscellaneous functions for mission makers**

In addition the mod includes several functions designed to make mission maker's life easier:

Elevator simulation

Timer

Check when all alive players are on board a vehicle

Automatically fill given ammo crate with ammo fitting the player's weapons

Automatically refill ammo crate with infinite ammo/ items

Remove unit's nvg (regardless of the mod they come from)

Remove ACRE2 radios

Search object/ person function

ACE3 simple conversation interaction

MP compatible sit unit on chair with release condition

Splashscreen with customizable image

Static line parachute jump

Travel time ETA

HVT capture and surrendering function

Changelog:
MRH Milsim Tools version : v.1.17.5
- Core :
* Added setting to disable loading of personal loadouts in Ace Arsenal
* Added attributes checkbox to allow a full zeus for unit (no need to add the module etc.)
* Added utility function to generate ace default loadouts:
>Function name:MRH_fnc_MilsimTools_Core_generateAceDefaultLoadOuts

Description: Generates a ready to paste file to run from mission or addon's init that will set Ace default loadouts for the ace arsenal tab.
HOW TO: create your loadouts on different units placed in the editor, give each unit a variable name that corresponds to the loadout (it will be the loadout name). When you're done, run the function. Paste the results to your mission's init.sqf (or any other sqf filled executed from init.sqf).

The result file also contains a list of the objetcs to allow for the arsenal box if you want a limited arsenal as well as a how to. (see comments at the bottom of the generated file)

Alternatively for sexier loadout names you can set them in the roledescription field of the unit and call the function with true as a parameter (but it will only grab playable units)
Return value: file to paste from clipboard
Public: Yes
Parameters:
0- <BOOL> (optional) to use roledescription instead of variable name
Example(s):
call MRH_fnc_MilsimTools_Core_generateAceDefaultLoadOuts; //will use allunits and variable names
or
true call MRH_fnc_MilsimTools_Core_generateAceDefaultLoadOuts; // will grab only playable units and use role descriptions

/////////////////////////////////
Changelog:
MRH Milsim Tools version : v.1.17.4

- Heli Taxi revamped:
* The heli taxi system has been deeply reworked!
* You can now also use the system with an editor placed heli. To do that:
> place the heli in the editor and sync it to the heli taxi module. Sync the module to another group, the group will then have controls over this heli. If it's destroyed they will not be able to call a new one. Heli and commanding group MUST be different groups. Do not place anyone inside the heli except its flight crew in the editor. Where the heli is at mission start is its 'homebase', it will fly back and land there when cancelled or sent back. After a while it will shut its engines down and get repaired and refueled.Editor placed helis are not affected by the max number per side setting, but they DO affect it.
* You can now choose between different types of 'final waypoints':
>Land and drop troops: the helicopter will drop troops and fly back to base or go away and despawn (for helis that are spawned).
>land and wait at LZ the heli will land and wait at LZ until instructed otherwise. After a while it will shut its engines down. You can come back to it at any time.
>Loiter: the heli will fly over the waypoint and then loiter in circles around it until instructed otherwise.
>Hover: the heli will go to the waipoint and hover until instructed otherwise.
> fastrope troops: the heli will fast rope troops at given position and fly back to base or go away and despawn (for helis that are spawned)
* Fixed: AI units should be properly left at the LZ if the land and drop troups approach is selected.
* Fixed: units controlled by zeus wille be able to properly use and command the helo defined for their side/ group its linked too.

-Full 9 liner MEDEVAC functionality
>The 9 liner medevac function is quite complex, its settings can be found in addons settings. The different lines of the calling interface change the waiting time. You can require an escort (two helis will come along and loiter around the LZ when medevac is in effect), you can set the number of patients (the mod will select bigger helis for larger numbers). Decide to include a surgeon ( an AI medic will disembark the heli, talking to them with ace interaction will heal players, they will reembark when the heli leaves. You can ask for the heli to bring supplies (if ace medical crate it will be in the ACE3 virtual cargo interface, if you request medical tents 2 will be placed in the heli's inventory).Or ask for the crew to wear NBC gear (from contact dlc, useful if you use a radiation script for example).
>Upon calling the MEDEVAC you will receive a LZ near the position you gave (within 250m). You must then reach the LZ and mark it with the selected method (smoke etc.)to launch the medevac sequence. (failing to do that the medevac will be cancelled after a while).
>You can put uncounscious or severely wounded AIs or players in the Heli and send it away. It will fly back a while later and drop the fully healed units/ players at the LZ.
>Medevac helis can still be destroyed! Only one per side can be in action at the same time, you can set cooloff delays in the options.

- Supports: Artillery /CAS/Supply drops
* Fixed CAS no longer working
* Improved coordinates function should now work on all maps. (And hopefully not break everytime arma is updated).
* Setting the available number to -1 will make each of the supports infinite.
* You can instead or also set a cool off time for each support.
* ACE self interaction>>Contact HQ>>check availability will show available supports or cool off times (including medevacs).

- Insertion handler:
*fixed gear should now be moved correctly to submarine cargo for submarine insertions.

- Core added several functions, added two free public domain fonts: Unifont and BethEllen2

- Functions added MRH_fnc_isDoctor
>[this] call MRH_fnc_isDoctor; will make a unit a doctor (talking to them with ace interaction heals player).

- Vehicle Spawner will now presort categories only on server should save loading time, haven't had time to test it properly and delve into it, expect patch/ full revamp soon.

See the function header for MRH_fnc_generateComposition on github or in the functions viewer for more information. Compositions are compatible with refill ammo and ammocrate functions as well as with my other mod MRH Satellite (if you use the generate function settings will be conveyed to the composition spawned).

Wow very cool mate! Congrats on the release

[Mr H. 402]

changelog included in the spoiler in 1st post

[GEORGE FLOROS GR 4207]

Thank you very much for the update  Mr H. ! 

 

[LSValmont 789]

This is great! Thank you mr. H!

 

PS: I would love to have a non Ace dependent version, perhaps a lite one but as long as it contains the working PDA it would be enough!

Sorry but nearly everything in the mod relies on the use of ace 3 (not only the interaction menus but also functions etc.) removing the dependency  would be such a huge work that it clearly won't happen.

However, though I do not provide help to people doing such things, the mod is completely open source, you are free to reuse parts of it or it's entirety, modify and redistribute it. You don't need my explicit consent to do so. The only conditions are that you give proper credit and provide your own support for modified version. Your work will also have to be distributed  under the same licence and conditions: ADPL-SA.
That includes p3d file for which I can happily provide the original blender files.
I'm not much of a modeler so if you come up with better models consider donating 😉
