Release Notes (changes from B1141.2)
----------------------------------------------------------------

* Significant improvements in mine hunting & sweeping:
- Allow UUVs to partake in Mine-Sweeping missions
- Allow ROVs/UUVs with multiple MCM to use them (if has cable cutter and explosive charge, try to use cable cutter on moored mines to preserve explosive charge)
- Allow UUVs/ROVs to sweep or neutralize mines
- Added track of mines being targeted (to stop all MCM units from going after a single mine)
- Tweaked the "targeted mines" list to exclude mines too deep, already being cleared, out of ROV range, etc
- Added: UUV with MCM included in Mine-Sweeping missions when mothership is
- Added: Ship with ROV will slow down when ROV is hunting mine
- Tweak: ROV will try to maintain position in a +/-45 degree wedge in front of mothership unless engaged with a mine
- Aircraft, ships and submersibles use basically same criteria for determining which mines to hunt. The nearest one is usually chosen. If a non-aircraft unit is closer to a new mine, it will drop the old targeted mine and go for the closer one.


* Lua: New wrapper properties:
- obeyEMCON : True/False
- sensors: able to turn individual ones by GUID off/on

* TWEAK: Show message for Doctrine failure for UNREP
* FIXED: #13723: Zapped to Africa
* FIXED: #13828: Cannot disable Collective Responsibility
* FIXED: #13760: Aircraft resumes patrol mission to previous position of relative patrol zone after engaging
* FIXED: #13761: Mission editor: Un/assigning units from mission doesn't remove the last unit until window refresh
* FIXED: Some CWDB scenarios were erroneously updated with DB3000 units.
* FIXED: Lua function SE_GetEvents() not registered

Fantastic!

Extra thanks for the super quick Lua updates.

Sounds Great !
Could this be used to hunt for sunken ships/aircraft etc. ?
Would make some interesting scenarios.

In fact could we not just create an object in the database and call it an aircraft or ship and give it similar (but larger) characteristics to a seabed anchored mine ? Or for that matter since we can define the minefield size all we would need is a mine that will sit on the bottom that will not detonate - I think.
If so, I'll make a request in the database forum, along with some civilian and military UUV/ROV equipped research/recovery ships.

thx, nice

thank you sir.....

There is a 'Dummy Mine' object in the database already.

I'll give it a try , thanks.

Never mind found it...
