Yay!

OMG! I cant wait for the next Release Candidate, thanks devs.

I have several feature requests:

-automatically add appropriate datalinks to platform when adding a new weapon

-check box to automatically add all arcs to new weapons/sensors

-have "filter by keyword" checked by default when adding weapons/sensor/etc

-automatically (or option to automatically) add appropriate magazine when adding new weapon. If multiple appropriate options then allow user to pick desired magazine from those options.

-ability to add new magazine and rename magazines. Could then add desired weapons to those magazines.

Removing "Preserve customizations when cloning a platform" as this has been implemented in Build 609. If you voted for this you can now re-vote.

Removed "Bundle custom overlays together with scen files" as this has been implemented in Build 627. If you voted for this you can now re-vote.

It would be nice to have Lua API functions equivalent to actions such as:
- side score adjustment - GetScore, SetScore
- message, to build messages dynamically, based on event chains outcome
- end scenario

Added to the request list, thanks mx1.

a few more lua functions:

change loadout of aircrafts.
add aircraft/boat attached to a parent unit.
get an array of units attached to a parent platform (to cycle them using a foreach statement)
dialogs with custom buttons (yes/no - ok-cancel) (for example, an event that allows you to call reinforcements from friendly units but it gives you -200VPs)
add/heal damage on a unit and its sensors, mounts.
change ammunition on stores.

thanks

+ 1 on those, also I would love to have:

1. enumeration of units assigned to mission (not my idea but great one).
2. expand ref point functions to be able to set relative ref points
3. built-in function for distance between 2 units (can use haversine currently but I'm affraid it would choke engine if used too often)
4. ability to use UnitX as ordinary selector for unit

I'm currently experimenting with better AI for air combat and those would be very useful. Also:

5. basic ability to use Lua variable (stored by SetKey?) in triggers or even full blown Lua triggers
6. expand "unit enters area" trigger for "weapon" to be able to filter it more specific in taget subtype by possible target (air/surface/subsurface or aircraft/helicpoter/surface vessel etc)

Removed "EE action: Delete unit" as this has been re-implemented in Build 631. If you voted for this you can vote again.

Removed "Ability to use coordinates to add facilities (like marker:city)" as this is now available through Lua (either as an EE-scripted action or directly through the Lua console). If you voted for this you can now vote again.

Can we have the ability to change loadouts on aircraft using LUA script? Since we are now given the ability to re-assign aircraft to other missions, having the option to apply a mission-fitting loadout would be very useful. [:)]

Thanks!

Request making adding/removing magazines and datalinks work the same as weapons and sensors.

Hey guys! I'd like to suggest adding filter-options to the "Teleport_Unit" event action. Something similar to the unit filter in the DB Viewer could be very useful, especially with big scenarios that have tons of units placed.

Check this out! I'm so proud of myself right now...

"Change side on a unit that is already placed" has been added in B679. If you voted for this you can vote again.

This adds a lot of possibilities.

Currently editing my fourth 'big' scenario. (These efforts will be posted here relatively soon.) Hands down the best scenario editor I've worked with in any game, period. That said and having played pretty extensively with the scenario editor now, the and/or operator for events would be a HUGE boon. Just my .02.

Note sure it could be possible but i ask [:)]

Possibility to have a tool to uncompress scenario files...
