Public Beta - v1.0.0. Preview Build 1: Radar & Stealth features

Warning: this is a public beta preview build of BDA Continued, v.1.0.0.

This contains the "Radar & Stealth" features, intended for public testing, among other features & fixes (most notably regarding modular and ballistic missile performance).

THIS IS NOT A STABLE RELEASE!
USE AT OWN RISK!

Built for KSP Version 1.3.1

If you are a modder and using this to adapt your parts for the radar redesign, also grab the "RADARS_MM_PATCHES_v3.zip" file.

v0.3.0.0 - Naval Combat Update

v0.3.0.0

• New DLL Changes - Full reinstall required!

• BDArmory Core : modularization of systems and features to ease integration for other mod makers

• Performance refactor and garbage collection improvements for better memory utilization

• New Features

  • Adding new weaponClass - SLW - Ship Launched Weapon - intended to target surface vessels (splashed) and submarines (splashed and underwater)

  • weaponClass.SLW is set by missileType torpedo or depthcharge

  • New "Sonar" Implementation - If RWRThreatTypes is Sonar will not detect flying vessels, only surface ships and submersibles

  • MAX_ACTIVE_RADAR_RANGE & MAX_ENGAGEMENT_RANGE added to settings.cfg for more control over ranged combat

  • Updated checks for Landed and Splashed to be more accurate and account for sumbersibles

  • Renamed "Ground" engagement option to "Surface" to better reflect behavior

  • MM Patches updated for engagement options and torpedo types

  • Issue Reference #201 for Sonar, RWR Types, engagement Types, torpedo targeting

  • Increased Radar Range #170

  • Logic for Smart Targeting should correct #216

  • fixing issue with throttle mirroring when switching vessels

  • adding gaurd mode back to editor, Solves #156

  • Ballistic Missile guidance improvements

  • Terminal Guidance will switch back to GPS target if no radar target is found

    • Detonation damage code updated to correct for zombie missiles after OnCollision

    • Update of Test craft

• New Parts

    • BDA MK1 Sonar Pod
    • Sting Ray BDA LightWeight Torpedo

  SMMarine

• Notes on Naval Combat Features

  • Current implementation of "Sonar" reuses the current Radar code. Future state will have dedicated windows and naming convention
  • Activating a "Sonar" pod still says "Activate Radar"
  • A Sonar is defined by setting the rwrThreatType = 6
    • Sonar rules
      • Will only detect vessels that are underwater (> 20meters)
      • Sonar will not function if vessel is in flight
      • Sonar does not detect "Landed" vessels, only splashed
      • Normal Radar does not detect underwater vessels, still detects "Splashed" i.e. Boats
  • Engagment type "SLW" only targets underwater (submarines) and Splashed (Boats)

As always, BDA need PhysicsRangeExtender to work properly: https://github.com/jrodrigv/PhysicsRangeExtender/releases

BDArmory v0.2.1.1 for KSP 1.3.0

v0.2.1.1
= Fixes =

• Recompiled and fixed for KSP 1.3.0

= New features=

• Modular Missile Guidance:
  New option to detonate a stage on proximity.

BDArmory v0.2.1.0 for KSP 1.2.2

v0.2.1.0
= Fixes =

• Problem with display of trajectories/smoke of missiles #74.
• Warhead and Procedural High Explosive cannot be detonated via Action Group #162.
• AI Pilot is unable to use Rapiers in Air Breathing mode if landed #102.
• Fixing modular missile detonation when switching.
• Fixing max static launch range for modular missiles.

BDArmory v0.2.0.0 compiled for KSP v1.2.2

v0.2.0.0
= New features=

• Modular Missile Guidance:
  A full rewrite of this part has been done. Now you can build your own missiles, define all its parameters,
  even its name. And it will be used by the AI as if it was a stock BDArmory missile!

  If you want to know more about this new feature, you can download a custom part pack for procedural missiles:
  https://github.com/jrodrigv/BDModularMissileParts
  And read this wiki
  https://github.com/jrodrigv/BDModularMissileParts/wiki/1.-Building-your-first-Modular-Missile

• Proximity Fuse for Missiles:
  A new field called "detonation distance override" has been added to missiles.
  0 by default means that it will detonate within is normal explosive radius (eg: 20 meters for AIM-120)

• Small High Explosive Warhead can now be re scaled with TweakScale. Git issue #106

= Changes =

• BDALoadedVesselSwitcher has been integrated into BDArmory, it will not be a separate mod anymore.
  Please delete it before installing this version.
• Physics range field and logic has been removed:
  BDArmory now integrates a new mod called PhysicsRangeExtender. https://github.com/jrodrigv/PhysicsRangeExtender
  Now the physics range has been extended to almost 200 km.
  However, be careful with landed vessels. Even if the vessel still loaded it could be possible that the terrain beneath it's not there anymore.

= Fixes =

• Game crashes when adjusting the Rotary Bomb Rack. Git Issue #76.
• Missile vs Missile Accuracy. Git Issue #82
• Bomb aiming reticle not working. Git Issue #92.
• Cluster bomb explode on load. Git Issue #151

= Known issues =

• Problem with display of trajectories/smoke of missiles. Git Issue #74
