[SP/MP/Dedi]DUWS-R with dedicated server supp

Before anything else I want to thank Kibot and DUWS-R team for doin the ground work, I just added some things and removed other things.

required MODs: None
plan to support MODs: hahaha... oh wait you are serious, let me laugh harder. HAHAHAHA

what is this, well it is pretty much the DUWS-R the code has reached a point where it is somewhat different from the DUWS-R implementation on github. this code is a fork of the DUWS-R code and can be found on github too.


what is different?
-Added Dedicated server support
-changed defaults.
-code cleanup (I write code for a living I see code that needs cleaning and I shriek)
-revamped algorithm to find the center of the map. (new file is 11 lines including 4 lines of comments and empty lines)
-removed VAS. (I don't like it)
-improved logging (required for proper debugging)
-removed old revive system, using Arma's revive system since I consider it nicer.
-added earplugs.
-objects spawn on a safer way (no more exploding vehicles)
-added marker for newly spawned vehicles, marker will dissapear after 60 seconds.
-laser markers are now visible as a red cross, available only for players with tactical glasses./shades
-removed pFLIR (can be added with a one line change)
-minor and no so minor bugfixes

sooo dedicated server... yes, I added supported to dedicated server with some caveats
1) the server MUST be persistent. well not MUST but highly recommended
2) make sure to add the name of the terrain if you want it to appear there.
3) saving is disabled, this is a limitation from BI, this is the reason to have a persistent server. (I'm working on being able to at least save the captured zones)
4) dedicated uses defaults I added a way for admin to change some of th defaults in the briefing, in any case if you want to change the rest of the defaults unpack the PBO and change startup_defaults.sqf. takes literally a couple of minutes.
5) Headless client shows on the server but it is not yet supported.
6) for side missions
a)only team leaders can request and complete side missions this is done to try to encourage teamwork.
b)only team lead can rescue the pilot/steal the truck.


what is broken:
-due persistence some information is saved as part of the profile if you restart the mission the number of captured zones will be kept on the user profile causing the mission to end prematurely. just initialize again and reset your stats.

What is planned
-support for headless client for dedicated server (performance baby) in specific to control opfor.
-add extra missions.
-currently the stats regarding zones captured is stored as part of the client profile, that is ok when hosting a server or when playing single player but it's a problem for dedicated, a single user with a profile with more captured zones than the server will cause the mission to end.
