As of r7763 and GameDir r2215,


  • Civilians can finally be captured. Either by handcuffing or by asking them to surrender. To remove an obvious exploit, this is only possible if they are hostile to you.
  • A civilian's faction needs to have <fCanBeCaptured>1</fCanBeCaptured> in CivGroupNames.xml in order to be capturable (is that a word?). In stock this is set for the Kingpin, Hicks and Warden factions. Modders might want to adjust this (*looks in wil473's direction*)
  • Civilians can be easily interrogated. They cannot give you info on the enemy (because how would they know anything?). They can defect, but we can't jut allow any random inbred farmer to simply join the ranks of our most glorious revolution, can we now? They need at least a refreshing course - they will join as volunteers.
  • It should now be impossible to handcuff a profile-based NPC (Conrad, General, Mike etc... basically anyone with a 'talking face' falls under this). These people cannot be captured. It would be nice to later visit them in prison, but that is almost guaranteed to cause horrible things to quests.
  • If the enemy team has profile-based NPC members in combat (Mike for the enemy, Darren & Daryl for the Hicks, Kingpin's people for the Kingpin faction etc...), then asking them to surrender won't work. These evil leaders simply wont allow it! So if you want to make prisoners, remove their leaders first...
  • Tanks cannot be captured as well (our handcuffs are too small!). as long as a tank is present, the AI will never surrender.
  • As the facility overview for prisons was confusing (people mistook the abbreviations for Hex code), this might be more clear:

  • If you have no prison, you have to let any prisoners go - but now up to a third of them might join your volunteers. Consider it a consolation prize.

    Also note that it is now thinkable (though unwise) to shanghai your entire militia. You need volunteers, and technically, conquering cities and enslaving the population also gives you that... suprised
    You need to set CAN_TRUE_CIVILIANS_BECOME_HOSTILE to TRUE for that though, set fCanBeCaptured to 1 for faction 0 and attack each civilian all the time. Global loyalty (and thus income) will drop to rock-bottom... but yes, you can now have a militia that is made entirely out of enslaved civilians you beat up and caught suprised
    I consider this my good deed of the night angel

I know now that it could never work between us, as much as we wanted to, it could never be! Not because you're a rabbit, but because you're black.

If you want, you can donate to me. This will not affect how and what I code, and I will not code specific features in return. I will be thankful though.
