Plugin Pretense

With this plugin, you can display persistent status update embeds for your Pretense missions.

Configuration

As Pretense is an optional plugin, you need to activate it in main.yaml first like so:

opt_plugins:
  - pretense

The configuration has to be done in config/plugins/pretense.yaml and is quite easy. You can define a channel per instance that you want your embeds to be displayed in. And you can define, how often they should be updated. Embeds will only be updated, if there is a pretense mission running and if there is new data to be displayed.

DEFAULT:
  update_interval: 120        # interval in seconds when the embed should update (default = 120)
DCS.release_server:
  json_file_path: '{instance.home}\Missions\Saves\player_stats.json'        # this is the default
  #json_file_path: '{instance.home}\Missions\Saves\player_stats_v2.0.json'  # use this for Pretense v2.0
  channel: 1122334455667788   # channel, where to upload the stats into (default: Status channel)

Every parameter has a default value, which means, that you do not need to specify a configuration file at all.

File Upload

You can upload a modified pretense*.json or player_stats.json by dragging and dropping them into your admin folder.

File Download

If you want to download the pretense files, you can add this section to your admin.yaml:

  - label: Pretense
    directory: '{server.instance.missions_dir}\Saves'
    pattern: '*.json'

This would work for Foothold and similar missions also.
