# Generated starts and radio camps
|
|
|
|
Everon chooses a new prison, radio camp, four mortar sites and optional field
|
|
hospitals/camps at preparation time. The supply cache retains its authored position.
|
|
The extraction helicopter uses the validated
|
|
Everon airfield pad (4800.953 / 11487.412), with no off-airfield fallback. The server
|
|
resolves the prison first, then the radio, before creating any site entities.
|
|
Joining clients receive the real replicated locations; intel keeps the same
|
|
stable destination IDs.
|
|
|
|
Site authors can use `RandomClear 1` on a prison, radio, mortar, hospital, outpost
|
|
or depot definition. `Heading`
|
|
sets the authored fallback heading; `RootHeight` offsets a composition above its
|
|
surveyed ground (the radio/table composition uses 0.8 m). Runtime placement never
|
|
rewrites the configuration file. Existing definitions default to authored sites.
|
|
|
|
Placement samples the island bounds and rejects water, obstructed footprints,
|
|
terrain varying by more than 0.6 m, nearby roads (12 m), and unsafe guard footing.
|
|
Prisons avoid physical runway/control-tower anchors by 1,500 m. The radio stays
|
|
at least 1 km from the prison and 300 m from other sites. The extraction pickup
|
|
must remain inside the prison-relative escape boundary with 100 m clearance.
|
|
Sampling yields after an 8 ms work budget, with a 30-second deadline and
|
|
12,000 candidate limit per site. The budget is checked between native terrain
|
|
queries, so a single engine query can exceed it. Authored fallback positions
|
|
must pass the same checks. If both search and fallback fail, an optional outpost,
|
|
hospital or depot is omitted for that round and preparation continues. The
|
|
`[site skipped]` log identifies its label, ID and attempt count. Removal happens
|
|
before spawning, map registration or AI intel assignment, leaving no empty site.
|
|
Every following site gets a fresh search budget. Required prison/radio/extraction
|
|
and mortar sites remain mandatory. An otherwise optional site also remains
|
|
mandatory if removing it would invalidate the scenario, for example by losing
|
|
the minimum accessible radio-intel sources. No unsafe placement is accepted.
|
|
|
|
The existing prison composition, gate, backpack and guards move together.
|
|
Player slots and escape-boundary tests use the same rotation. Admission still
|
|
waits for physical guards, inventory and the client's nearby replicated scene.
|
|
Spawn clearance uses a filled standing-volume trace for scenery and actual
|
|
character positions for body spacing, avoiding false overlaps from rotated
|
|
entity bounding boxes. Pending reservations remain part of the clearance check.
|
|
The radio camp has a radio and table inside a full-size tent, with an antenna
|
|
and sandbag cover outside. Its complete guard squad permanently defends a 20 m
|
|
area around the radio and cannot be reassigned by virtual HQ. See
|
|
[radio camp security](radio-camp-security.md).
|
|
It retains the existing contact-extraction-HQ action and defence progression.
|
|
|
|
Partial intel displays a question mark at the centre of the containing 500 m
|
|
square. Exact identification changes it to a site icon at the real location.
|
|
The prison is always hidden. Notifications use the original Intel wording.
|
|
|
|
`/esc killais` is an administrator-only debugging command centred on the
|
|
administrator's current living prisoner. It applies lethal damage to AI
|
|
characters within 1,000 m in three dimensions, including friendly AI and seated
|
|
crews. Player-controlled and retained player-roster bodies are excluded, as are
|
|
vehicles and structures. Death callbacks run normally; the command does not
|
|
refill AI forces or manufacture HQ reports. `/esc help killais` explains it.
|
|
|
|
Four mortar sites each have a physical gun, four crew, finite shells and
|
|
targeting through the HQ radio-report chain. Sites are at least 1 km apart and
|
|
500 m from the prison. See [mortar intel and perimeter guards](mortar-intel-and-prison-map.md).
|
|
|
|
## Validation
|
|
|
|
`test_generated_sites.py` executes the actual bounded-search scheduler;
|
|
`test_debug_ai.py` executes kill eligibility. Existing player-tool, admission,
|
|
prison-slot and intel-feedback tests cover the changed boundaries.
|
|
`--project core --smoke generated-sites` opts into real randomized placement and
|
|
tests admission, hidden/identified markers, authenticated killais (including a
|
|
seated AI), and the radio objective. The `opening-tools` and `airfield-markers` outcomes also use the live site
|
|
definitions. Other Workbench smoke outcomes explicitly load
|
|
`Configs/ERR/Tests/LegacySites.conf` to retain their historical deterministic
|
|
fixtures, including the retired western cache and old extraction position.
|
|
Ordinary Workbench play and dedicated servers use the live definitions.
|
|
|
|
`--project core --smoke optional-site-skip` uses current randomized definitions,
|
|
forces camp 5 to fail both random and authored terrain checks, and verifies that
|
|
the camp has no runtime, required objectives/mortars remain and a player is
|
|
admitted. The failure injection exists only in the opt-in Workbench fixture.
|
|
|
|
On 2026-09-26, this fixture compiled and completed after camp 5 exhausted 12,000
|
|
candidates and failed its fallback. The camp was omitted and player admission
|
|
succeeded with prison, radio, extraction and all four mortars retained. The full
|
|
repository check passed. The runner reported a terminating-process classification
|
|
race at shutdown; independent follow-up confirmed the private prefix idle and
|
|
the addon source manifest unchanged. External inputs were unchanged. Existing
|
|
loaded asset errors remain; the completed scenario had no script/runtime failures. Evidence,
|
|
including the earlier test-selector compile failure, is retained under
|
|
`.local/analysis/optional-site-skip-2026-09-26/`. This validates local startup,
|
|
not a published or dedicated-server update.
|
|
|
|
On 2026-09-22, the full `python3 tools/check.py` suite passed. The final native
|
|
`generated-sites` fixture passed 39 assertions at a randomized Everon start:
|
|
prison at approximately (5100, 9137), heading 89 degrees; radio at (5991, 5659).
|
|
It placed twelve physical prisoners inside the rotated prison, verified that
|
|
occupied body/wall positions still reject spawning, and checked admission with
|
|
stocked backpack, hidden partial-intel markers, exact
|
|
discovered coordinates, authenticated AI killing (including a seated passenger),
|
|
and the existing radio transmission objective. The runner confirmed unchanged
|
|
source inputs and complete process cleanup. Native diagnostics still include
|
|
external RHS/WCS localization and stock resource-keyword errors; the fixture had
|
|
no script/runtime failure. A captured camp view was inspected for radio/table,
|
|
antenna and shelter placement.
|
|
|
|
Local scripted fixtures do not establish ordinary input, remote-client
|
|
replication, or complete multiplayer acceptance. Dedicated-server validation is
|
|
still outstanding; this change has not been published or deployed.
|
|
|
|
The western guarded vehicle/cache site has been removed. The medical stash now
|
|
provides the second reachable source of radio intel; mortar logistics uses the
|
|
existing eastern outpost. See [airfield and map changes](airfield-extraction-and-map-icons.md).
