IPC_DynamicCombat_Rework

0.1.71

Defense Patrol
Added AI garrison squads that patrol friendly frontline bases. These squads automatically guard your faction's forward positions, helping defend against enemy pushes and keeping your territory secure. Patrols dynamically adjust as the frontline shifts.
Squad count and composition can be customized in the JSON configuration file.

AI Artillery Support
New IPC_ArtilleryService — Virtual mortar barrage system
Per-faction charge accumulation (default 3 min/charge, max 5, full charges on init)
Auto-requested when squads engage enemies (via ARTILLERY_STRIKE_REQUEST event)
Centroid-based targeting — 200m sphere scan, density clustering to find the densest enemy cluster centroid as strike point
Friendly-fire safety — Checks player proximity + enemy/friendly centroid separation ≥ 30m; aborts if either fails
Base range validation — Target must be within 1000m of a friendly base and ≥ 150m away
Cooldown — 30s per faction between strikes
81mm (US/NATO) / 82mm (USSR) shells, 10 rounds per barrage with scatter
JSON Configuration System
New IPC_SettingsManager — External JSON config manager
IPC_Settings.json — Service toggles + parameter tuning + squad allocation
Service toggles: Base Defense / Artillery / Command Center / Notification / Rank Removal
Base Defense params: respawn delay / safety radius / detection radius
Artillery params: charge interval / max charges / shells per strike / friendly safe radius / min enemies / scatter radius / cooldown
Squad allocation: per faction (US/USSR/FIA) × role (PRIMARY/SECONDARY/SEIZING_PATROL), configurable template IDs
IPC_SoldierList.json — Per-faction soldier prefab overrides with enable/disable toggle
Auto-generates commented defaults (EN/CN) on first launch
Version migration — Detects version field, preserves old values + auto-backup .vN.bak + rewrites to new format
NumToJson() ensures clean float output (integers without decimals, non-integers formatted normally)
