Enigma-Cold-War-V1-Public
Enigma's Cold War V1 Code base for public use for the DCS Community
Introduction
On launch date of Enigma's Dynamic Cold War PVP/PVE Server, we said that if the server failed then we could still be succesful. Our thinking was that if other servers saw what concepts we were introducing into DCS and adapted them then we could help push things into a better direction.
To our surprise, the server was a success and we have grown quite a bit. Along the way, we have received help by many people. Some were community members that volunteered their time to help us, regardless if they were on the staff or not.
For that, we want to give back the community and we are making our original codebase public. We hope that by making this available we will help inspire people to help push DCS from what it is to an actual game that is anchored around dynamic scenarios.
I cannot promise to answer every single code question, most of the developers that were on the project have left DCS and I am not a developer. Additionally, I am very time crunched but I will do my best to answer some questions. We were hoping to make this available much earlier but we got very busy with our V2 launch. So I apologize if the documentation is a little light.

Please note that this codebase traded a lot of hands, ALL of the code was made by the following people:
Whosvee (original developer and created the basic frontline + depot system)
Matroshka (V1 lead developer)
Wizard (created slotblocker and bubble protection)
Yink (Current Enigma lead developer, in V1 he created recon and the helicopter mechanics)
Notes
This breaks down how the code works:
Hooks/slotblocker - This is the slotblocker, you can configure the rules as you wish
Scripts/EventsSyria.lua - This is the bomber and boat events on Syria. There is a debugger mode for this.
Scripts/airbases.lua - This is a protection bubble to make sure at least one airfield is always playable
Scripts/base-spawncheck-off.lua - I forgot what this is (Sorry)
Scripts/base.lua - This is the most important file and is the actual campaign system.
Scripts/Bombers.lua - This is the same as EventsSyria.lua but for Caucauses only
Scripts/Collection.lua - This is a file that determines assets/groups that exist on the map
Scripts/Collection_syria.lua - Same as above but for Syria
Scripts/Functions.lua - I forgot what this is (Sorry)
Scripts/hookLoader.lua - This is what loads the hooks
Scripts/loader.lua - This loads all of the scripts
Scripts/logger.lua - Self-explanatory
Scripts/punisher.lua - This is what we used to protect roadbases from attacks
Scripts/recon.lua - This is the recon system. Variables can be set for planes
Scripts/serverstatus.lua - I forgot what this is (Sorry)
Scripts/Variables.lua - This is what non-developers use to control the mission and set variables for things such as values in the campaign
Scripts/yink.lua - This is where attrition and helicopters mechanics exist
You do NOT need Viggensbane. Delete it from loaderlua.
If you run into any issues, I would recommend making sure to update your Moose version you are using.
