Summary
A data-driven battlefield support framework — any mod can call in mortar barrages, airdrops and gunship support through provider configs.
Description
English
Battlefield Support (BFS) is a standalone low-level framework mod for Arma Reforger. It abstracts "battlefield support" into configurable providers and wires the whole chain from "player picks a support in the menu" to "the support finishes executing on the server".
Built-in types: mortar barrage (zoned effect at the target point), creeping barrage (two-point placement, fire walks along the line), airdropped infantry / IFV (a dropship overflies the target, parachute bodies descend and deliver faction-matched units), gunship (loitering fire / rocket run / cannon run; script-driven flight, can be shot down)
Capabilities: data-driven provider registry (.conf, new types need no script changes); multi-point, multi-label placement flow (client placement UI, input capture, camera ray / map collector); server-authoritative execution with a lifecycle handle (start / abort / complete, with a reason to the end callback); per-player cooldown plus a native cost field; two-stage gating (cached-eligibility greying in the menu + live re-validation at start); integration hooks so other mods can inject visibility, availability, legality and charging (WarCats plugs its ledger economy in here); event notifications via the vanilla top banner (cancel / placement progress / start / complete / fail / abort)
Standalone note: BFS is a framework addon — subscribing alone gives no gameplay entry; the menu and charging come from an integrating mod such as WarCats. Requires AirLootSpawner (aircraft, parachute and crate assets).
中文
battlefield-support（BFS）是一个独立的 Arma Reforger 底层框架模组。它把"战场支援"抽象为可配置的 provider，并打通从"玩家在菜单里选出支援"到"支援在服务器上执行完毕"的完整链路。
内置支援类型：迫击炮弹幕（目标点区域弹幕）、渐进炮击（两点式标点，火力沿线推进）、空投步兵／空投步战车（投放机飞越目标点、伞降体减速下降、落地交付对应阵营单位）、武装直升机（盘旋持续火力／火箭掠袭／机炮掠袭，脚本飞控、可被击落）
框架能力：数据驱动 provider 注册表（.conf，新增支援类型不改脚本）；多点多标签标点流程（客户端标点 UI + 输入捕获 + 相机射线／地图标点）；服务器权威执行与生命周期句柄（启动／中止／正常结束，回调带原因）；per-player 冷却与原生价格字段；双层门槛（菜单期预选预判灰显 + 启动期实时终验）；集成钩子（他模组可注入可见性、可用性、合法性与扣费，WarCats 即经此接入账本经济）；官方顶部横幅事件通知（取消／标点进度／开始／完成／失败／中止）
单独订阅说明：BFS 是框架模组，单独订阅不含玩法入口，玩法界面与扣费由集成模组（如 WarCats）提供；依赖 AirLootSpawner（提供飞机、降落伞与箱体资产，需一并订阅）
