  More can be coded very easy.
• sets your appearance: average = 0, ugly = 1, homely = 2, attractive = 3, total babe = 4
• determines how distinguished you are: average = 0, slob = 1, snob = 2
• , and determine how much you care about one aspect: not at all = 0, somewhat = 1, extremely = 2
• is how racist you are against everyone of any other race: none = 0, some = 1, very = 2
• is ho sexist you are: none = 0, some = 1, very = 2, and with 3 you are a gentle(wo)man. Being a gentleman does not result in morale modifiers on other genders, but they get a morale drop if you marry away teammates against their will in a certain quest.

[Morale Settings]

;******************************************************************************************************************************
; These settings modify certain team morale aspects
;******************************************************************************************************************************

; each hour we evaluate our morale based (amongst other things) upon the mercs in the same sector. We evaluate each according to
; our prejudices. This alters our morale. The effects depend on the other merc's properties.
; The effect is doubled if we care a lot about something.
; Our total modifier is then the average of all our opinions. Note that this will always be in [-25, 25].
; Example: If we are a snob, and the other merc is a slob, we get a modifier of -MORALE_MOD_REFINEMENT if we care about refinement,
; and 2x that modifier if we care a lot. None if we don't care.

; morale modifier for ugly(-2x), homely(-1x), beautiful(+1x) or 'total babe!'(+2x) people. Double if we care a lot.
; Values from 0 to 5, default is 1
MORALE_MOD_APPEARANCE             = 1

; morale modifier for snob vs slob people. 1x for same and we care a lot, -1x for difference and we care, -2x for difference 
; and we care a lot. Values from 0 to 5, default is 2
MORALE_MOD_REFINEMENT             = 2

; morale modifier if the other person is of a nationality we hate. Does not apply if we do not hate a nation.
; Values from 0 to 5, default is 2.
MORALE_MOD_HATEDNATIONALITY       = 3

; morale modifier if the other person is not of our race and we are racist. Values from 0 to 5, default is 2.
MORALE_MOD_RACISM                 = 3

; morale modifier if the other person is of a different gender. Positive if attractive, negative if ugly. Doubled if very attractive/ugly,
; doubled again if we are very sexist. Values from 0 to 5, default is 1.
MORALE_MOD_SEXISM                 = 1

; morale modifier if we have a xenophobic background and our background differs from theirs. Values from 0 to 15, default is 5.
MORALE_MOD_BACKGROUND_XENOPHOBIC  = 5

• mercs with average refinement get a morale penalty if they care extremely about refinement and the other merc is a slob or snob
• added belgian and portoguese nationalities
• Fix: race, sexism etc. xml data didn't correctly overwrite PROF.DAT data
• Reworked DropDown class. It is now much easier to use, the user has to implement only one function. See Documentation in DropDown.h.
• Added Helptexts to DropDown that will show when hovering over the main region of the DropDown.

Yes, this means that we can now built dropdown selections, as I built that. Which was horrifying work, thank you.

This is going to be funny =)

Oh please let me add "I am Franconian" and "I dislike the Bavarians"

As I am unfamiliar with the DG/WF/UB mercs, I did not fill out values those, hoping that someone else can. There are also some odd sirtech values (like Blood being american instead of south-african).

While this feature was planned to be in the released game, an thus never optional, there is still a way to turn it off if you want. I added modifiers to JA2_Options.ini each topic that control the severity of a morale penalty: [spoiler][code][Morale Settings]

Otherwise I expect this thread to violently go up in flames once people offer such distinguished opinions as "asians should get a malus to driving cars", "israelis want higher wages" or "beautiful women with blond hair should get -x% wisdom stat effectiveness". Should that be your opinion, post it somewhere else and not here.

Crazy to think all those attributes are there, but never used. Didn't appearance, refinement and rascist values affect interaction with NPC's or Morale? Or was it all just swept under the carpet?

We should know when Buzz wants to quit because she's harassed by the sexist bunch around her or why not - she goes psycho and starts shooting them ). Does this sounds ok with you guys?

Buzz? She's the high priestess of hatred. Judging from her values, bio and psycho disability, you'll likely piss her off if you breathe :junkyarddog: :blackcat:

It should be there as default Tbird. If you go to your INI, there should be a /Morale settings.

Did you get one of those exe thingies from my place? Link in sig

Why would a separate display be needed? A merc's values are displayed on the personnel page in the laptop, and morale, well, can be seen on a merc's morale bar.

I'm now much more firm with creating laptop webpages now, but I don't see the need.
