IASER Configuration Guide

Comprehensive guide to configuring IASER for optimal strategic warfare performance

Configuration Overview

IASER provides extensive configuration options to customize strategic warfare behavior, performance characteristics, and integration settings. Configuration can be managed through multiple methods:

Configuration Files

Create custom configuration files for persistent settings
iaser_config.lua, strategic_config.json

GUI Interface

Use Qt6 interface for real-time configuration changes
IASER_Unified_GUI.exe

Command Line

Override settings using command-line parameters
--config, --port, --debug

Runtime API

Modify settings during operation via API calls
POST /api/v1/config

Core System Configuration

Basic System Configuration

-- iaser_config.lua - Basic Configuration IASER_CONFIG = { system = { name = "IASER Strategic Warfare System", version = "1.0.0", theater = "CAUCASUS", -- CAUCASUS, PERSIAN_GULF, NEVADA, etc. operation_mode = "STRATEGIC", -- STRATEGIC, TACTICAL, TRAINING auto_start = true, startup_delay = 5.0 -- seconds }, strategic_ai = { enabled = true, decision_frequency = 30.0, -- seconds between decisions analysis_depth = "DEEP", -- SHALLOW, MEDIUM, DEEP coalition_balance = true, -- balance opposing forces adaptive_difficulty = true -- adjust based on player performance }, economic_warfare = { enabled = true, resource_simulation = true, supply_chain_modeling = true, economic_victory_conditions = true, resource_depletion_rate = 0.1, -- 0.0 to 1.0 recovery_rate = 0.05 -- 0.0 to 1.0 }, frontline_management = { enabled = true, dynamic_evolution = true, frontline_fluidity = 0.7, -- 0.0 (static) to 1.0 (highly fluid) strategic_points_enabled = true, territorial_control = true, influence_radius = 10000 -- meters } }
Changing theater setting requires mission restart for full effect

Strategic AI Configuration

Fine-tune strategic AI behavior and decision-making parameters:

-- Strategic AI Advanced Configuration IASER_CONFIG.strategic_ai_advanced = { decision_weights = { air_superiority = 0.3, -- importance of air control ground_control = 0.4, -- importance of territory naval_operations = 0.1, -- importance of naval assets economic_targets = 0.2 -- importance of economic warfare }, threat_assessment = { threat_horizon = 3600, -- seconds to look ahead threat_escalation_factor = 1.5, defensive_bias = 0.2, -- 0.0 aggressive, 1.0 defensive risk_tolerance = 0.6 -- 0.0 risk-averse, 1.0 risk-taking }, coalition_behavior = { blue_strategy = "DEFENSIVE", -- AGGRESSIVE, BALANCED, DEFENSIVE red_strategy = "AGGRESSIVE", adaptation_rate = 0.1, -- how quickly AI adapts learning_enabled = true, memory_length = 1800 -- seconds of tactical memory }, objectives = { primary_weight = 1.0, secondary_weight = 0.6, opportunity_weight = 0.3, dynamic_objectives = true, -- generate new objectives objective_timeout = 1200 -- seconds before re-evaluation } }

Economic Warfare Configuration

Configure economic modeling and resource simulation parameters:

-- Economic Warfare Configuration IASER_CONFIG.economic_warfare_advanced = { resources = { oil = { initial_reserves = 1000000, -- barrels production_rate = 1000, -- barrels per hour strategic_importance = 0.8, vulnerability_factor = 0.6 }, steel = { initial_reserves = 500000, -- tons production_rate = 100, -- tons per hour strategic_importance = 0.7, vulnerability_factor = 0.4 }, electronics = { initial_reserves = 10000, -- units production_rate = 50, -- units per hour strategic_importance = 0.9, vulnerability_factor = 0.8 } }, supply_chains = { disruption_propagation = 0.3, -- how disruptions spread recovery_time_base = 600, -- base recovery time (seconds) redundancy_factor = 0.4, -- supply chain redundancy critical_threshold = 0.2 -- critical supply level }, economic_targets = { refineries = { strategic_value = 0.9, destruction_impact = 0.8, recovery_time = 7200 -- 2 hours }, factories = { strategic_value = 0.7, destruction_impact = 0.6, recovery_time = 3600 -- 1 hour }, ports = { strategic_value = 0.8, destruction_impact = 0.7, recovery_time = 5400 -- 1.5 hours } }, victory_conditions = { economic_collapse_threshold = 0.3, -- economy health for victory resource_depletion_victory = true, supply_chain_victory = true, time_limit = 14400 -- 4 hours } }

Frontline Management Configuration

Configure dynamic frontline tracking and territorial control:

-- Frontline Management Configuration IASER_CONFIG.frontline_management_advanced = { frontline_calculation = { update_interval = 20, -- seconds smoothing_factor = 0.3, -- frontline smoothing momentum_decay = 0.1, -- how quickly momentum decays influence_calculation = "WEIGHTED_DISTANCE" -- calculation method }, strategic_points = { auto_detection = true, -- automatically find strategic points importance_weights = { airbase = 1.0, city = 0.8, port = 0.9, bridge = 0.6, mountain_pass = 0.7 }, capture_radius = 2000, -- meters contest_radius = 5000 -- meters for contested zones }, territorial_control = { unit_influence_base = 1000, -- base influence radius (meters) unit_type_modifiers = { tank = 1.2, infantry = 0.8, artillery = 1.5, air_defense = 1.1 }, decay_rate = 0.05, -- influence decay over time overlap_resolution = "STRONGEST" -- how to handle overlaps }, visualization = { frontline_smoothing = true, control_zone_alpha = 0.3, -- transparency update_animation = true, historical_tracking = true, snapshot_interval = 300 -- seconds between snapshots } }

Command Line Options

Override configuration settings using command-line parameters:

# Basic usage IASER_Complete_Embedded.exe # Specify custom configuration file IASER_Complete_Embedded.exe --config "custom_config.lua" # Override network settings IASER_Complete_Embedded.exe --port 8090 --host 0.0.0.0 # Enable debug mode IASER_Complete_Embedded.exe --debug --verbose # Set theater and operation mode IASER_Complete_Embedded.exe --theater PERSIAN_GULF --mode TACTICAL # Performance tuning IASER_Complete_Embedded.exe --threads 8 --memory-limit 1024 # Logging options IASER_Complete_Embedded.exe --log-level DEBUG --log-file "debug.log" # Complete example IASER_Complete_Embedded.exe \ --config "strategic_config.lua" \ --port 8080 \ --theater CAUCASUS \ --mode STRATEGIC \ --threads 4 \ --log-level INFO \ --debug

Configuration Validation

IASER automatically validates configuration settings on startup:

-- Configuration validation results === IASER Configuration Validation === ✓ Core system configuration valid ✓ Network settings validated ✓ Strategic AI parameters within acceptable ranges ✓ Economic warfare model configured correctly ✓ Frontline management settings validated ✓ Performance settings optimized for current system ⚠ Warning: Debug mode enabled - may impact performance ✓ All configuration checks passed Strategic Warfare System ready for deployment
Configuration validation errors will prevent IASER from starting. Check the log file for detailed error messages.
