CPO Frontline PvE

by JDripstein

2.4.1

Fixed
- The airdrop no longer drops anyone without a seat. On a real server the 2.4.0 fallback chute attached after the lift, to a character already falling, and the seat never took: the jumper fell to their death, and a jumper who pulled their own Static Line bag was pulled back out of it and lost. That fallback is gone.

Changed
- The airdrop needs Static Line Parachutes 1.2.0 or newer on the server. It is still reached by name and is not a dependency, but without it, or with an older build, the airdrop is closed: no AIRDROP point, and #airdrop and #frontline status say why.
- A canopy seat that does not take within six seconds ends the attempt where the jumper stands and hands the use back.

2.4.0

Added
- Airdrop reinsert: type #airdrop at main base, or pick the AIRDROP: <town> point in the deploy menu after a death, and you go up under a steerable canopy over a point just outside the current objective, on a random side of it: steer with the movement keys and pick your landing, no drive required. Uses are per player per objective and scale with population (3 per player under 10 players, 2 under 20, 1 under 30, none above, all configurable), each drop costs main base supplies, the AIRDROP point stays on the map with the enemy nearby and reads unavailable to you alone once your drops are spent or cooling, and it closes when the town falls and reopens over the next one. Keys airdrop_enabled, airdrop_uses_low/mid/high, airdrop_players_mid/high/off, airdrop_altitude_m, airdrop_scatter_m, airdrop_offset_m, airdrop_cost_supplies, airdrop_cooldown_s.
- Weather and time votes: anyone types #vote weather <state> or #vote time <preset> in chat and everyone gets the game's own vote popup; a passed weather vote rolls the weather in over a few minutes, a passed time vote sets the clock to dawn, noon, dusk or midnight. One vote at a time and a 30-minute cooldown between calls keep it from being spammed; pass share, minimum votes, duration and cooldown are configurable, results are announced, and the last winners are re-applied after a restart. Keys weather_vote_enabled, time_vote_enabled, vote_pass_pct, vote_min_votes, vote_duration_s, vote_cooldown_s, weather_transition_min, vote_persist.
- Field manual: the Frontline chapter now covers the airdrop and the weather and time votes.
- Game Master Frontline tab: an Airdrop reinsert checkbox switches the drop on or off live, closing or reopening the deploy point at once.

Changed
- With Static Line Parachutes loaded (1.2.0 or newer) the airdrop canopy is that mod's T-10: a round canopy you slip with A and D to pick your landing; without it the drop uses the KSC chute. Static Line Parachutes is not a dependency, Frontline reaches it by name and loads fine without it.

2.3.4

Fixes
- A vehicle that a mod update moves to a new prefab path keeps its configured price and visibility. The file is keyed by path, so when a catalog re-pointed its JLTV entries the old rows were pruned and the new ones came back at stock prices. The file now also records every vehicle's values by GUID and a new key inherits from there

2.3.3

Fixes
- Vehicle prices now follow the vehicle, not the path a catalog happened to list it under. Two mods can register the same vehicle prefab under two folder layouts (the JLTVs: the CPO Factions catalog uses the older layout, the JLTV mod's own US-faction entries the newer one), and a price set for one path showed the default under the other, which is why the tan JLTVs kept their stock prices while the olive ones took the edited ones. Identity is now the prefab's GUID everywhere.
- The vehicle costs file now lists every vehicle the depot build menu can offer, not just the player faction's catalog: the menu unions every faction's vehicle catalog, so vehicles that exist only in another faction's catalog (the black, M240, M230LF and MK19 JLTV variants, for example) never had a row to price or hide. Each entry now carries a faction field naming the catalog that supplied it; existing edits are kept.

2.3.2

Fixes
- Configured vehicle prices now actually show on the depot build cards and gate placement. The price table reached every client since 2.3.1, but the game creates a fresh copy of a vehicle's card data for every card and every placement check, and the lookup was keyed to one particular copy, so cards kept showing the prefab's built-in price (the Chinooks showed free, the JLTVs their old price) and the server's own placement check let a vehicle be placed with too few supplies, charging the real price only afterwards. Prices are now matched by prefab: the build browser reports which prefab each card belongs to, and placement checks resolve the prefab from the entity being placed. Card, placement refusal and charge agree again.

2.3.1

Fixes
- Vehicle cost edits now reach every player's build cards no matter how much of the catalog the server owner has priced. The price table used to travel to clients as one message and silently stopped arriving once enough vehicles were edited (the server still charged the right amounts, so cards showed stale or free prices while the purchase cost the real price). The table is now sent in numbered segments that clients reassemble, with the once-a-minute resend healing any missed piece, and a live file edit now reaches clients within 30 seconds instead of up to 60.

2.3.0

Added
- Server-configurable vehicle costs and visibility: the mod now writes $profile:CPO_Frontline/vehicle_costs.json listing the player faction's whole vehicle catalog, grouped by category, and server owners edit two values per vehicle: cost (supplies) and shown (0 hides it from the depot build menus while a Game Master can still place it). Edits apply on the live server within 30 seconds, prices show on the build cards, and the charge always matches the card. Every catalog vehicle charges everywhere, including main base, whether or not its price was edited: a vehicle is a purchase, not a fortification, and only the build table's structures stay free at the main operating base. New key vehicle_costs_enabled (on; needs the economy).

2.2.9

Fixes:
- The supply convoy now handles a stuck truck better: when any convoy truck stalls inside the objective, its crew and passengers deboard and fight on foot instead of sitting in a wedged vehicle, while a truck that stalls on the approach road keeps trying rather than shedding its men mid-route.

2.2.8

Fixes
- The #frontline help text now lists every admin command with each one spaced out so it reads on its own, and the local support (civilian reputation) commands are called out by name. The in-game field manual now documents the same full set, including #frontline set and find.
- First iteration of destroyed map buildings persisting across a server restart. The ruins always persisted, but the building itself reloaded intact on top of them every boot, stacking a fresh building over its own wreck; each destroyed building is now recorded in the campaign save and re-sunk on start, and a campaign wipe clears the record so a fresh season reloads the map intact.

2.2.7

Fixes
- Physical supply rewards no longer shed their garbage protection on a stray slot move: the collection trigger now fires only when the item genuinely enters character or vehicle storage, so an aborted pickup or a transient world re-slot can no longer leave a reward unprotected for the vanilla garbage system to harvest

2.2.6

Fixes:
- Living quarters now house the player faction's defender group instead of vanilla US troops. COE2 runs without Conflict base machinery, so a placed living quarters kept the vanilla faction baked into its prefab and the spawner drew its group from that vanilla catalog; the service now adopts the mission's player faction at placement, and the character slots, hostile distance band and enable action follow the same faction.

2.2.5

Fixes
- Physical supply rewards (completed-mission boxes and the raid cache) no longer vanish mid mission. Loose supply items are ordinary InventoryItemComponent entities, so the vanilla garbage system harvested them after its item lifetime once no player stood nearby; the marked raid box lost its last protection the moment the raid completed. Every spawned reward item is now blacklisted from the garbage system until a player collects it or teardown settles it, and the raid re-asserts the blacklist on completion.

2.2.4

Fixes
- The Supply Cache Raid could complete itself about a minute after spawning when its guard groups had not finished spawning (most likely the first mission after a server restart). The kill threshold now arms only after guards actually exist, and it counts the force that really spawned, so an empty or half-spawned site can never read as cleared.

2.2.3

Fixes
- Command truck spawns no longer refuse with "not enough supplies" while the truck is full. The truck point was billed against the fixed stores beside it, but a mobile assembly is its own entity with none nearby, so every deploy was refused. Truck spawns now read and pay from the truck's own cargo, at the same cost.

2.2.2

Changed
- The Supply Cache Raid now completes when 75 percent of its guards are killed, mirroring the objective clear, and its mission marker stays on the marked box until the site closes with the next objective. Loading the box or draining it still completes the mission too.

2.2.1

Fixes
- The Supply Cache Raid now completes when the marked box's supplies are loaded into a vehicle or carried, not only when the box itself moved into inventory. A crate too big to carry never fired the pickup event, so the mission could not be completed.

Changed
- The supply convoy completion hint now tells players to collect the supplies, then destroy the truck.
- The convoy troop truck's two squads now dismount at random points inside the zone, and the passenger squad leaves the truck the moment the crew does, so an AO checkpoint or roadblock that stops the truck no longer leaves troops stuck aboard.

2.1.2

Added
- New Supply Cache Raid side mission, forced with `#frontline sidemission raid spawn`: seize the marked box to secure ten physical 100-supply items, guarded by two full squads and a fire team. Collected boxes remain player property; earned supplies left at the site transfer to main base when the AO mission closes if not collected.

Changed
- Ordinary side missions now leave 500 physical supplies at the completed site instead of crediting the base immediately. Uncollected earned boxes transfer their exact remaining value to main base at teardown, with a player notification; an unfinished raid pays nothing.
- The supply convoy now carries exactly 1000 physical supplies in the marked lead truck and none in the rear Ural. The rear carries two full squads. The task completes when the lead is destroyed, emptied or recovered at main base, and captured trucks are released from mission cleanup.

2.1.1

Added
- Spawning at a command truck's deployed assembly (CPO Factions 1.2.13 or later) can now be priced separately: new key command_truck_spawn_cost_multiplier scales the forward spawn cost at the truck only, and it ships at 2, so a truck deploy costs double a fixed forward point. A live slider in the Game Master Frontline tab moves it mid session; 1 matches the plain forward cost, 0 makes truck spawns free. Ordinary forward spawn points and the main base are unchanged.

2.1.0

Added
- One fight, both towns: an enemy capture point sitting inside the captured objective area now flips with it, announced in chat, so the tightly packed pairs on Everon no longer demand a second assault on ground already taken. New key co_capture_meters (0 follows the AO radius; negative disables).
- The main operating base now carries its own always-visible MAIN OPERATING BASE label on the map, Conflict-style, at the first spawn the campaign puts down. Vanilla deploy icons are untouched; this is one unique marker added beside them.

Fixes
- Enemy infantry no longer spawns in the wave splash band at docks and low shorelines. A spot just above still sea level reads dry to every depth test but is swamped by waves; ground spawn positions for garrisons, counterattacks and the QRF now require 1.5 m of clearance above sea level, and anything lower falls back to the dry anchor. Side mission sites keep the old margin: a supply truck on a quay is fine.

2.0.1

Fixes
- Counterattacks, the enemy QRF and garrisons no longer spawn in the sea at coastal towns. The spawn ring anchor now walks back toward the town until it sits over land, and any ring position that still reads wet falls back to the dry anchor. The engine position search is blind to water deeper than about two metres, so the dry check has to come first.

2.0.0

Added
- The server now sets the AI ceiling. A new adaptive budget watches the server's frame rate, steps the usable AI budget down while the box is struggling and back up as it recovers, and holds a floor so the fight never goes hollow; at the floor it warns the admin that the box is too small for the player count instead of cutting further. The objective's own garrison is sized to fit what the server has room for, and with no ceiling set the governor finds the box's own limit. On by default, one switch (ai_budget_adaptive) turns it off, and a Game Master toggle flips it mid session. New server keys, grouped with ai_budget in the config: ai_budget_adaptive, ai_budget_fps_floor, ai_budget_fps_recover, ai_budget_step_pct, ai_budget_min, ai_budget_reserve_pct. The status line reports the live count, the objective's share and the server's frame rate, and the campaign feed carries an ai_budget block.
- Workshop description updates.

Changed
- The AI budget now counts the objective's own AI alongside the campaign's garrisons, counterattacks, QRF and side mission guards, so one number describes the whole fight. Servers that rely on the old ceiling being "frontline only" should raise ai_budget accordingly or leave it at 0 with the governor on.

1.9.7

Fixes
- Side missions and the QRF no longer leave their vehicles, intel folders and emplacements behind across a restart. Everything a side mission or a QRF spawns is now kept out of the session save and removed cleanly when the mission ends, so a restart mid-mission, or an objective completed with the side mission still standing, restores nothing that nobody owns. Litter already sitting in older saves is not reached: trucks go with the CPO idle clean, props need a one-off Game Master delete.

1.9.6

Fixes
- The evacuation now really leaves the hostage alone. The check that skips anyone already held in a compartment was looking in the wrong place, so a tied hostage was still being ordered out with the rest; it now reads the character's own compartment access, which sees the tie, and the hostage stays put.

1.9.5

Fixes
- An objective generated by hand after a cancel now registers as the active objective again. Cancelling told the commander to generate one by hand to resume, but the by-hand objective never picked up the campaign's target, so side missions, the status line and the front advance all treated the map as still quiet; the generated objective is now adopted as the active target whenever it sits on enemy ground.

1.9.4

Fixes
- The evacuation now leaves a hostage alone. A tied hostage reads as a civilian, so the siren was ordering it out with the rest and the cleanup then swept it away; the flee order now skips anyone already in a compartment, so captives and anyone in a vehicle stay put.

1.9.3

Fixes
- The evacuation's flee order now actually lands. It was placing an editor waypoint the engine rejected, so civilians stayed put until the cleanup timer removed them; they now walk out when the siren sounds.

1.9.2

Fixes
- The Civilian Evacuation mission now clears map-placed civilians too. It used to only move the civilians the objective itself spawned, leaving ambient patrols behind in the town; now every civilian, whatever spawned them, walks out before the fires come down.

1.9.1

Fixes
- The Civilian Evacuation side mission now actually empties the town. Its flee order was landing behind each civilian's own patrol loop, so most of them stayed put and only one would walk out; the siren now overrides the patrol and the whole population leaves before the fires can come down.

1.9.0

Added
- A new Civilian Evacuation side mission. Destroy the enemy comms site jamming the town's warning siren and the siren sounds: the objective's civilians walk out of the town, disappear once they are clear, and local support rises for the clean approach. The town is then safe to bring artillery and heavy fire onto without killing civilians. It rolls with the normal side mission chance, fields a light guard of one group (sometimes two), and the status line reports when the objective has been evacuated and is clear for fires. Works well with the existing civilian reputation system.
