Resistance Supply Scaffold

Resistance Supply Scaffold

Status: branch-sensitive scaffold, not release-ready live economy support. This page owns the source evidence for the resistance/GUER side-supply gap and the current stable/B74.1/B74.2 Chernarus-only candidate.

All source paths are relative to Missions/[55-2hc]warfarev2_073v48co.chernarus/.

Current Shape

This is not a clean "unsupported by design" feature. The common economy layer contains resistance/GUER scaffolding, but the runtime support differs by branch:

• Init_CommonConstants.sqf:702-704 defines starting supplies for west, east and GUER.
• Init_Common.sqf builds WFBE_PRESENTSIDES from WFBE_L_BLU, WFBE_L_OPF and WFBE_L_GUE when side owner logics exist.
• Current stable/B74.1/B74.2, B69 and adjacent B74 define WFBE_L_GUE owner logic in Chernarus and maintained Vanilla; docs/Miksuu/perf/historical refs checked here do not.
• Current stable/B74.1/B74.2, B69 and adjacent B74 make the resistance supply read branch non-blocking and funds-only by returning a 0 default, while docs/Miksuu/perf/historical refs still use the blocking REQUEST_SUPPLY_VALUE wait path for resistance.

The write path is still incomplete unless the target is current stable/B74.1/B74.2 Chernarus or B69/B74 Chernarus:

• Common_ChangeSideSupply.sqf formats a generic wfbe_supply_temp_<side> public variable.
• Docs/Miksuu/perf/historical refs and maintained Vanilla register only wfbe_supply_temp_west and wfbe_supply_temp_east.
• Current stable/B74.1/B74.2 Chernarus and B69/B74 Chernarus register wfbe_supply_temp_resistance at Server_ChangeSideSupply.sqf:25-45, but it still trusts _side from the payload and has no channel/requester validation. Live origin/claude/faction-tint-sidefix@32acd272f92e diverges before current stable and removes this handler, so treat it as a regression warning if revived.

Current Branch Matrix

Ref	Resistance owner logic	Supply read behavior	Temp-channel receiver
Docs branch e46a7330	No WFBE_L_GUE mission logic found in Chernarus or maintained Vanilla; Chernarus only has WFBE_L_BLU / WFBE_L_OPF at mission.sqm:3855,3874.	Resistance branch still reaches REQUEST_SUPPLY_VALUE / waitUntil at Common_GetSideSupply.sqf:36-44.	West/east only at Server_ChangeSideSupply.sqf:1,25; no resistance handler.
Current stable/B74.1 origin/master@f8a76de34 / origin/claude/b74.1-aicom@f8a76de34	Chernarus mission.sqm:4995,4998 and Vanilla mission.sqm:4198,4201 define LocationLogicOwnerResistance / WFBE_L_GUE; Init_Common.sqf:291 includes it in the present-side loop.	Common_GetSideSupply.sqf:36-40 marks GUER funds-only and returns a non-blocking 0 default.	Chernarus registers wfbe_supply_temp_resistance at Server_ChangeSideSupply.sqf:25-45 and floors west/resistance/east negatives to 0 at :12,36,60; maintained Vanilla remains west/east only and old-shape at :12,36.
Current Miksuu b8389e748243, origin/perf/quick-wins@0076040f, historical a96fdda2	No WFBE_L_GUE mission logic found in checked maintained roots; only the Init_Common.sqf:280 present-side loop references the variable.	Resistance branch still uses the blocking request/wait path at Common_GetSideSupply.sqf:36-44.	West/east only. Perf fixes Chernarus arithmetic only, not Vanilla and not resistance wiring.
Current B74.2 origin/claude/b74.2-aicom@21b62b04; previous B74.2 d472da6a; current B69 origin/claude/b69@8d465fce; adjacent B74 origin/claude/b74-aicom-spend@b23f557f	Current B74.2 has no checked side-supply/resistance delta over previous B74.2 or current stable; B69..B74 is also empty for checked side-supply paths. Chernarus and maintained Vanilla define WFBE_L_GUE and include resistance in the present-side loop.	Chernarus and Vanilla use the current-stable funds-only 0 default read branch.	Same current-stable split: Chernarus has wfbe_supply_temp_resistance plus floor-to-zero; maintained Vanilla remains west/east only and old-shape.
Live origin/claude/faction-tint-sidefix@32acd272f92e	Stale divergent branch: merge-base with current stable is d35d7c8fb774, and the branch does not contain current stable.	No checked read-path rescue over current stable for this lane.	Compared with current stable, removes the Chernarus wfbe_supply_temp_resistance block while keeping west/east handlers. If revived, rebase/restore the resistance handler before any three-way economy claim.

Why It Matters

If resistance remains only a defender/ambient side, the missing temp channel is mostly latent. If a map or feature adds WFBE_L_GUE or enables a true three-way resistance economy, resource ticks can reach ChangeSideSupply through Server/FSM/updateresources.sqf:49,72, but the resulting wfbe_supply_temp_resistance event has no server PVEH to consume it.

That creates a silent economy failure: code can appear to award or debit resistance supply, while the server never applies the change.

Evidence

File	Evidence
Common/Functions/Common_ChangeSideSupply.sqf:16-30	Applies positive-income stagnation, computes or forwards the change depending on branch, then publishes wfbe_supply_temp_<side> with [_side, _amount, _reason].
Server/Functions/Server_ChangeSideSupply.sqf:1-71	Current stable/B74.1/B74.2 Chernarus registers west/resistance/east temp-channel handlers and floors negatives to 0, but still trusts payload _side and broadcasts resulting side supply.
Old-shape / maintained Vanilla Server/Functions/Server_ChangeSideSupply.sqf:1-47	Docs/Miksuu/perf/historical refs and current maintained Vanilla register west/east temp-channel handlers only; both trust payload _side.
Server/Init/Init_Server.sqf:82 / current-stable :98 / B69/B74 Chernarus :100	Compiles/registers Server_ChangeSideSupply.sqf; B69/B74 Vanilla uses :98.
Common/Functions/Common_GetSideSupply.sqf:36-44	Docs/Miksuu/perf/historical refs still block on the request/wait branch for resistance. Current stable/B69/B74 use :36-40 to return a funds-only 0 default instead.
Common/Init/Init_CommonConstants.sqf:157-159	Defines west/east/GUER starting supply constants.
Common/Init/Init_Common.sqf:280 / current stable/B74.1/B74.2 :291	Builds WFBE_PRESENTSIDES from BLU/OPF/GUE owner logics.
Docs branch mission.sqm:3855,3874	Defines BLU/OPF owner logics but no WFBE_L_GUE owner logic in checked Chernarus source.
Current stable/B74.1/B74.2 Chernarus mission.sqm:4995,4998; B69/B74 Chernarus :4928,4931; Vanilla :4198,4201	Defines LocationLogicOwnerResistance / WFBE_L_GUE, so resistance can be present even while the write/read supply economy remains incomplete.

Patch Shape

If resistance economy is intentionally enabled:

1. Add and register a wfbe_supply_temp_resistance server PVEH on every target maintained root, or explicitly scope B69-style work as Chernarus-only.
2. Validate the payload side and channel; do not accept a west/east payload on the resistance channel or vice versa.
3. Clamp negative floors and overspend behavior consistently with west/east.
4. Decide whether the resistance read branch should remain a funds-only 0 default or return live wfbe_supply_resistance state.
5. Make resistance side logic ownership explicit in mission setup.
6. Add three-way economy smoke before enabling any true resistance commander/economy mode.

If resistance economy is not intended:

1. Document resistance supply as unsupported.
2. Guard or log any call that tries to mutate resistance side supply.
3. Avoid adding WFBE_L_GUE owner logic casually.

Validation

Source-only:

• Search proves whether wfbe_supply_temp_resistance exists.
• Search proves whether WFBE_L_GUE owner logic is present in the mission being tested.
• Direct-channel validation covers side and amount.

Arma smoke, only if resistance economy is enabled:

• Resistance supply increases from town/resource income.
• Resistance supply debits do not become windfalls.
• West/east temp channels still work.
• JIP clients see the expected current supply values.
