Ability to generate control unit auto configure scripts

[matpratta]

In this format?

name: Gunner v2
slots:
    core:
        class: CoreUnit
    weapon:
        class: WeaponUnit
        select: manual
    radar:
        class: RadarPVPUnit
        select: manual

handlers:
    library:
        start:
            lua: |

Hi @Snipey, this format you mentioned is the YAML/JSON which is already generated for copy-paste into the object. I guess you meant something similar to ArchHUD's .conf files stored for easy apply, those are currently not generated but can be worked out! Let me take a look on what is currently used :)

@Snipey @Serializer I've done some work on getting proper autoconfig .conf files working, if you want to try it out, install directly from the branch using: npm i -g git://[email protected]:wolfe-labs/DU-LuaC.git#feature/autoconf

The only changes necessary on project files to support it is adding the select field under slots, possible values as far I noticed are manual and all:

{
  "builds": {
    "main": {
      "name": "main",
      "slots": {
        "special": {
          "name": "special",
          "type": "screen",
          "select": "manual"
        },
        "others": {
          "name": "others",
          "type": "screen",
          "select": "all"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

That's already in there?

Not sure about the format it's in, but for the build targets, it's json that can be copy/pasted I haven't tested wolfe's script for weapons nor radars, I can do it for others, and they are in the list, so I am guessing it works :)

My test project.json for my accountsSystem, it only has a development target, for build I would minify and not handle errors :)
{ "name": "Yggdrasil-Society.tests", "description": "Tests for libraries/databases and systems developed by Yggdrasil Society", "sourcePath": "src", "outputPath": "out", "libs": [ { "id": "Yggdrasil-Society.libraries", "path": "..\\libraries\\" }, { "id": "Yggdrasil-Society.databases", "path": "..\\databases\\" }, { "id": "Yggdrasil-Society.systems", "path": "..\\systems\\" } ], "targets": [ { "name": "development", "minify": false, "handleErrors": true } ], "builds": { "TestAccounts": { "name": "TestAccounts", "slots": { "ygdsScreen": { "name": "screen", "type": "screen" }, "accountsDB": { "name": "accountsDB", "type": "databank" } } } } }

So from what I'm seeing this is not technically an auto configure script just generating the slot names for the board. The autoconf is the right click apply that is on Arch HUD. it allows the naming of classes for the script and auto links them to the control unit.

This just generates json to paste to a unit with all the slots predefined. On a ship you don't know how many of every element you have.

Referring to scripts placed here
C:\ProgramData\Dual Universe\Game\data\lua\autoconf\custom

[Serializer]

It is an autoconfigure json as far as I know, except the links have to be either added in the same order as you do with the tool, or rearrange them in the project.json, or you can use code to link them by class, or by name...Don't know how that works, I am not using those features yet

[Snipey]

Yes I was referring to the .conf files as it is easier to keep those around for control units like RC, Gunner chairs, and command seats. It also is great for auto linking things to the chair.

[Serializer]

@MatheusMK3 I would test it, however I currently have no ship nor flightscript to test it on, I say currently I've only ever owned one x-small core ship :D

Closing the issue as that should be live by now
