IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover Blitz

Changelog:

Sounds:

• Updates FMOD to latest stable release
  
• Fixes most occlusion issues
  
• Increases volume level of engine damage effects
  
• Adjusts DB601 engine load effects
  
• General optimizations and bugfixes
  

Visuals:

• Fixed external damage textures for Spitfire
  

Mission Scripting API:

• Logging convenience functions Two and one parameter methods added to gpLogServer.
  
• AMission, new property 'string PathMyself' Contains the (relative) path/filename to the mission script itself.
  

  class Mission : AMission {
...
SomeFunc()
{
GamePlay.gpLogServer(null, this.PathMyself, new object[] { }); ///
output: "missions\server\MyMission\MyMission.cs"
}
...
}

  
  
• ABattle, new method "AMission GetBaseMission()" - Returns the base mission. That allows any sub mission to get a 'pointer' to the base mission.
  Limitation: As all missions are of type public Mission : AMission, only the AMission methods and properties are accessible (those the mission builder added are not). See "OnIntraMissionsMessage" below.
  
• AMission, new method "public virtual object[] OnIntraMissionsMessage(string sMsg, object[] args = null)". This allows the base mission and sub-missions to communicate with each other by sending messages to each other via this method.
  

  /// SUB-MISSION
public override void Inited()
{
base.Inited();
AMission BaseMission = Battle.GetBaseMission();
BaseMission.OnIntraMissionsMessage("sub-mission xyz to base mission:
here I am", new object[] { this });
}

/// BASE MISSION
public override object[] OnIntraMissionsMessage(string sMsg, object[] args = null) {
if(sMsg.Equals("sub-mission xyz to base mission: here I am")
{
m_SubMissions.Add("xyz", (args[0] as AMission));
}
return null;
}
