 -- Many functions can either change the tree for one client or for all clients.
 -- 
+-- ## Conceptual remarks
+-- 
+-- There's a couple of things to fully understand: 
+-- 
+-- 1) **CLIENTMENUMANAGER** manages a set of entries from **CLIENTMENU**, it's main purpose is to administer the *shadow menu tree*, ie. a menu structure which is not 
+-- (yet) visible to any client   
+-- 2) The entries are **CLIENTMENU** objects, which are linked in a tree form. There's two ways to create them:   
+--          A) in the manager with ":NewEntry()" which initially 
+--              adds it to the shadow menu **only**   
+--          B) stand-alone directly as `CLIENTMENU:NewEntry()` - here it depends on whether or not you gave a CLIENT object if the entry is created as generic entry or pushed 
+--              a **specific** client. **Be aware** though that the entries are not managed by the CLIENTMANAGER before the next step!   
+-- A generic entry can be added to the manager (and the shadow tree) with `:AddEntry()` - this will also push it to all clients(!) if no client is given, or a specific client only.  
+-- 3) Pushing only works for alive clients.   
+-- 4) Live and shadow tree entries are managed via the CLIENTMENUMANAGER object.   
+-- 5) `Propagate()`refreshes the menu tree for all, or a single client.

+-- * A closed shape made with line segments
+-- * A closed shape made with a freehand line
+-- * A freehand drawn polygon
+-- * A rect
+-- Use the POLYGON:FindOnMap() of POLYGON:Find() functions for this. You can also create a non existing polygon in memory using the POLYGON:New() function. Pass in a
+-- any number of Vec2s into this function to define the shape of the polygon you want.
+--
+-- You can draw very intricate and complex polygons in the Mission Editor to avoid (or include) map objects. You can then generate random points within this complex
+-- shape for spawning groups or checking positions.
+--
+-- When a POLYGON is made, it's automatically triangulated. The resulting triangles are stored in POLYGON.Triangles. This also immeadiately saves the surface area
+-- of the POLYGON. Because the POLYGON is triangulated, it's possible to generate random points within this POLYGON without having to use a trial and error method to see if
+-- the point is contained within the shape.
+-- Using POLYGON:GetRandomVec2() will result in a truly, non-biased, random Vec2 within the shape. You'll want to use this function most. There's also POLYGON:GetRandomNonWeightedVec2
+-- which ignores the size of the triangles in the polygon to pick a random points. This will result in more points clumping together in parts of the polygon where the triangles are

+1. Table of contents
+{:toc}
+
+If you want to get deeper into Moose, you will encounter a few terms and
+concepts that we will explain here. You will need them for the later pages.
+
+# Git and GitHub
+
+Moose has about 260.000 lines of code and the amount is increasing each week.
+To maintain such a big code base a vcs (version control system) is needed.
+Moose uses [GitHub] as developer platform to create, store, and manage the code.
+[GitHub] uses [Git] as version control system and provides additional
+functionality like access control, bug tracking, feature requests and much more.
+
+As a Moose user you don't need to learn how to use [Git]. You can download the
+files on [GitHub] with a browser. But using [Git] will ease up the steps to keep
+the Moose version on your hard disk up to date.
+
+You will need to interact with [GitHub]. At least to download the Moose files.
+For non-developers the page can be confusing. Take your time and read this
+documentation. We are not able to explain every single detail on using [GitHub]
+and [Git]. Especially because it is changing really quick and this documentation
+will not. So try to use the help system of [GitHub] or find some videos on
+[YouTube]. If you get stuck ask for help in the [Moose Discord].
+
+Moose uses more than one repository on [GitHub] which doesn't exactly make it
+any clearer. A list can be found on the [reposities] page.
+
+# Branches: master & develop
+
+As already explained in the [overview] two branches are used:
+
+- Branch [master]: Stable release branch.
+- Branch [develop]: Newest development with more OPS classes.
+
+As a starter it is okay to begin your journey with the `master` branch.
+If you are interested in some newer classes you need to use the `develop`
+branch. The later one is also very stable, but it's missing more detailed
+documentation and example missions for some of the new OPS classes.
+
+You can switch between these branches with a drop down in the upper left corner
+of the [GitHub] repository page. The list of branches is long. So it is a best
+practice to save a bookmark in your browser with the links above.
+Both branches are available on most of the different repositories. But because
+of a limitation of [GitHub pages], we had to split the documentation in two
+different repositories:
+
+- Documentation of `master` branch: [MOOSE_DOCS]
+- Documentation of `develop` branch: [MOOSE_DOCS_DEVELOP]
+
+# Build result vs. source files
+
+Moose consists of more than 140 individual files with the file extension `.lua`.
+They are places in a [directory tree], which makes it more organized and its
+semantic is pre-defined for [IntelliSense] to work.
+
+On every change which is pushed to [GitHub] a build job will combine all of
+these files to a single file called `Moose.lua`. In a second step all
+comments will be removed to decrease the file size and the result will be saved
+as `Moose_.lua`. These both files are created for users of Moose to include in
+your missions.
+
+The individual `.lua` files are used by the Moose developers and power users.
+It is complicated to use them, but in combination with an IDE and a debugger it
+is very useful to analyze even complex problems or write new additions to the
+Moose framework.
+
+# Static loading
+
+If you add a script file with a `DO SCRIPT FILE` trigger, like we described in
+[Create your own Hello world], the script file will be copied into the mission
+file. This mission file (file extension .MIZ) is only a compressed ZIP archive
+with another file ending.
+
+If you change the script file after adding it to the mission, the changes are
+not available on mission start. You have to re-add the script after each change.
+This can be very annoying and often leads to forgetting to add the change again.
+Then you wonder why the mission does not deliver the desired result.
+
+But when the mission is finished you can upload it to your dedicated DCS server
+or give it to a friend and it should run without problems. This way of embedding
+the scripts do we call `static loading` and the resulting mission is very
+portable.
+
+#  Dynamic loading of mission scripts
+
+The other way of loading scripts is by using `DO SCRIPT`. This time the mission
+editor don't show a file browse button. Instead you see a (very small) text
+field to enter the code directly into it. It is only useful for very small
+script snippets. But we can use it to load a file from your hard drive like
+this:
+
+```lua
+dofile('C:/MyScripts/hello-world.lua')
+dofile('C:\\MyScripts\\hello-world.lua')
+dofile([[C:\MyScripts\hello-world.lua]])
+```
+
+So all lines above do the same. In [Lua] you need to specify the path with
+slashes, escape backslashes or use double square brackets around the string.
+Double square brackets are usefull, because you can copy paste the path
+without any modification.
+
+If you upload a mission with this code, you need to create the folder
+`C:\MyScripts\` on the server file system and upload the newest version of
+`hello-world.lua`, too. The same applies, if you give the mission to a friend.
+This makes the mission less portable, but on the other hand the mission uses the
+file on the hard disk, without the need to add it to the mission again.
+All you need to do is save the file and restart the mission.
+
+The following can be used to increase portability:
+
+```lua
+dofile(lfs.writedir() .. '/Missions/hello-world.lua')
+```
+
+The function `lfs.writedir()` will return your [Saved Games folder].
+So you place the scripts in the subfolder Missions. This way the folder
+structure is already available on all target systems. But you need to ensure
+mission and script are both in sync to avoid problems. If you changed both and
+upload only one of them to your server, you may get trouble.
+
+There is another method you may find useful to dynamically load scripts:
+
+```lua
+assert(loadfile('C:/MyScripts/hello-world.lua'))()
+assert(loadfile('C:\\MyScripts\\hello-world.lua'))()
+assert(loadfile([[C:\MyScripts\hello-world.lua]]))()
+```
+
+It is a little bit harder to read and write because of all these different
+brackets. Especially the one on line 3. But it is a little safer than `dofile`.
+Because of readability I prefer to use `dofile`.
+
+#  Dynamic loading of Moose
+
+Of course you can use the same method to load Moose. This way you can place one
+Moose file in your [Saved Games folder], which is used by multiple missions.
+If you want to update Moose you just need to replace the file and all missions
+will use the new version. But I prefer to add Moose by a `DO SCRIPT FILE`
+trigger so I can add and test the new version for each mission step by step.
+
+But we added two different ways to load the Moose source files automatically.
+This is useful for Moose developers and it is a requirement to use a debugger.
+This will be explained later in the [Debugger Guide].
+
+# Automatic dynamic loading
+
+With the code below you can have the advantages of both approaches.
+- Copy the code into your mission script at the beginning.
+- Save the mission script into the folder Missions in your [Saved Games folder].
+- Change script filename in line 2 to match to your script.
+- [De-Sanitize] your `MissionScripting.lua`.
+
+Now the mission will use the script on your hard drive instead of the script
+embedded in th MIZ file, as long as it is available. So you can chnge the
+script, save it and restart the mission, without the need to readd it after each
+change.
+
+If you reach a stable state in your script development and want to upload the
+mission to your server or give it to a friend, then just add the script again
+like in the static method and save the mission.
+
+{: .important }
+> Do not forget to readd the script, prior uploading or sharing the mission,
+> or it will run with an outdated version of your script and may fail if the
+> objects in the mission don't match to this old version.
+
+```lua
+-- Use script file from hard disk instead of the one included in the .miz file
+if lfs and io then
+  MissionScript = lfs.writedir() .. '/Missions/hello-world-autodyn.lua'
+  -- Check if the running skript is from temp directory to avoid an endless loop
+  if string.find( debug.getinfo(1).source, lfs.tempdir() ) then
+    local f=io.open(MissionScript,"r")
+    if f~=nil then
+      io.close(f)
+
+      env.info( '*** LOAD MISSION SCRIPT FROM HARD DISK *** ' )
+      dofile(MissionScript)
+      do return end
+    end
+  end
+else
+  env.error( '*** LOAD MISSION SCRIPT FROM HARD DISK FAILED (Desanitize lfs and io)*** ' )
+end
+
+--
+-- Simple example mission to show the very basics of MOOSE
+--
+MESSAGE:New( "Hello World! This messages is printed by MOOSE!", 35, "INFO" ):ToAll():ToLog()
+```
+
+# IDE vs. Notepad++
+
+As a beginner you should start with a good text editor, which supports syntax
+highlighting of [Lua] code. This must not be [Notepad++]. It can be any other
+powerful editor of your choice. Do yourself a favor and don't use the Windows
+editor.
+
+If you are a developer of [Lua] or another programming language, then your are
+most likely familiar with an IDE (Integrated Develop Environment).
+
+Otherwise you should know, that an IDE may help you with code completion,
+Refactoring, Autocorrection, Formatting Source Code, showing documentation
+as popup on mouse hover over keywords and Debugging.
+
+There are different IDEs available. And not all IDEs support all features.
+The three most important for Moose are:
+
+- [Eclipse LDT]
+- [Visual Studio Code]
+- [PyCharm] (or [IntelliJ IDEA])
+
+Eclipse has the best support for hover documentation and [IntelliSense] with
+Moose. The Inventor of Moose (FlightControl) did an amazing job by adding an
+integration to Eclipse LDT (a special version for Lua).
+Unfortunately Eclipse LDT is not maintained any longer (last release 2018).
+And the debugger doesn't work anymore, since an update of DCS.
+
+In Visual Studio Code the support of Lua can be added by an addon.
+The debugger works with Moose and DCS, but showing the LuaDoc and [IntelliSense]
+is very limited.
+
+PyCharm supports Lua also with an addon. The debugger works with Moose and DCS,
+but showing the LuaDoc and [IntelliSense] is very limited.
+
+It is up to you to choose the IDE according to your taste. Guides on how to
+setup Moose with different IDEs and Debuggers are provided later in this
+documentation.
