First beta of VEAF Tools V6

VEAF-CT-v6.mp4

Status

Completed features:

  • convert any mission (non VEAF, old-style VEAF, v6 VEAF) to a v6 VEAF folder
  • build and extract VEAF missions
  • inject radio presets

Missing features:

  • inject aircrafts
  • inject flight plans
  • inject weather and time versions

Minimalistic user guide:

  • download veaf-tools-updater.exe from this release; put it on your computer, in your mission folder.
  • run the veaf-tools-updater update command; it'll download all the necessary files, including the veaf-tools.exe program
  • depending on what you intend to do, follow these steps:
  • Converting an existing mission file
    • use the veaf-tools convert command (the --help option describes everything); e.g. veaf-tools convert test.miz
    • edit the files in the src folder
    • build (see below)
  • Building a mission from source
    • use the veaf-tools build command (the --help option describes everything); e.g. veaf-tools build test - with test being your mission name)
    • if you don't want the VEAF triggers to be injected, use the --no-veaf-triggers option; this is useful if you want to extract and build community missions (I've done this for the excellent Foothold missions).
  • Extracting files from a mission file to your src folder
    • use the veaf-tools extract command (the --help option describes everything); e.g. veaf-tools extract test - with test being your mission name)
  • Injecting radio presets into your mission file
    • use the veaf-tools inject-presets command (the --help option describes everything); e.g. veaf-tools inject-presets test - with test being your mission name); by default it will use the src/presets.yaml file - see the src/presets.md documentation.

Contact me on Discord if (when!) you encounter a bug and we'll work it out.

Remember, this is a beta and bugs will occur!!!!
