Save the state of a mission

[jboecker]

It is possible to save the state of a mission. I have created this issue for now to track what works and what does not.

As of v0.0.1-beta3, this is still experimental and has several limitations:

• Only the state of ground vehicles will be saved
• If the ground vehicle group has multiple waypoints, they will go back to waypoint 1 after the mission is loaded again (probably cannot be fixed)

If you want to try it, use these steps:

• replace the file Scripts\MissionScripting.lua in your DCS: World installation directory with the one provided in scripts\save-mission-state.
• Add Mist 3.2 or higher to your mission.
• Have a way to trigger the code in scripts\save-mission-state\doScript.txt to run in your mission (e.g. with the F10 radio menu). That code snippet will create a MissionState.txt in your \Saved Games\DCS\Logs directory.
• Use the admin tool to select the MissionState.txt and click "Upload Mission State"
• Save the mission again using the admin tool
