Is it possible to extend the "capture & jail" feature on "civilians" like: Police, Shark goons, Bikers Gang, Gunrunners?
I am assuming jail + interrogation might be less intuitive option for them, but handcuffing should work. I tested it on 2 occasions and it doesn't. Can't handcuff Policeman. (I hope i am not doing it wrong again)

--update
I have just realised the problems i am having with handcuffing Police is because i play UC113, while handcuffing is new content for 1.13.

You cannot capture civilians, neither by handcuffing nor asking them to surrender. Changing that codewise is easy, however:

I wont allow surrender option against civilians because that would be an easy way out against single hostile NPCs - your team would almost always win the surrender option.

Capture of special civilians (NPCs) isn't allowed as that would break quests. That might change some day.

Handcuffing isn't allowed for the same reasons as above... plus there are ways to get civilians NPCs to spawn indefinitely. This would lead to a quick, unlimited supply of prisoners, which could then be mass-processed into money and militia. While shanghaiing the population of several cities into your services (and committing extortion on industrial scale) has a certain appeal to it :taskmaster: , I feel this doesn't exactly fit the JA2 spirit.

wow that was quite easy Razz apparently face gear icons need to be enabled in order for the interogate prisoner assignment to work.

The interrogation icon is in the same library as the doctor/repair/training icons. If you do not use the GameDir data that is required, then the game will crash, yes.

i do indeed use the correct gamedir but if i disable facegear icons in the options the game crashes. shoudlnt the facegear icons be seperated from the assignment icons?

i find the face gear icons to be too obstructive so i would like to play without them. but right now i am forced to play with the icons enabled

Capturing civilians Y/N.
N: Surrender of single civilian NPCs makes game too easy
Possible to code those civ's NPCs as never_surrender ?

N: Respawning civilians + capturing = exploiting game
- Interrogation seems powerful but after i have tested it, i think its not profitable at all. Out of 8 interrogated 1 joined militia and 0 paid ransom, the rest just disappeared.
- Capturing is dangerous, more then wasting them from afar
- Respawning civiliians seems an exploit farm on its own
But even if you neglect those 3- above, maybe code civilians as realease only not_jailable?

Y:Give the pacifist in you a chance Smile

Jokes aside, if you still think its bad idead, i'll kill them then, Crying or Very Sad

Better not. We need to kill them in order to end combat. We cannot leave enemies lying around without breaking all kinds of game status tags. If someone really wants to implement this please do extensive testing. There were enough problems with combat status/ending that I fixed in the past and I don't want it to be broken again.

While that would be possible (if a battle is won, we remove prisoners before killing of remaining enemies), I agree with silversurfer here. Also, auto-capturing enemies is out of the question, the player has to make effort to get prisoners, I am against 'auto-harvest'.

You can, however, capture dying enemies by bandaging and then handcuffing them.

Yay! I didn't think of that! Finally the bandaging of dying enemies has some use! I was always a bit pissed off when I showed mercy and bandaged some dying soldier who then tried to kill me in return. Mercy is overrated. Now I'm going to cuff 'em.

Bandaging of enemies was always a very good method to loot them. If you bandage an enemy and at the SAME turn with finishing bandage you loot him - you can loot his whole inventory.

To my understanding taro's point was that if the very last enemy in a battle is in dying state, he's auto killed by game to end turn based and battle mode - hence you're ever unable to bandage and rob or capture the very last dying enemy.

Not if he went to dying state before being the last one, which happens quite often in my games:
In the heat of battle one or several enemies go down crippled. You'll usually fight on against the non-dying, conscious baddies (because they would see and kill you if you tried to capture one of their disabled comrades) because they still pose a threat to your squad. So you sent bullet shaped regards to the baddies that fight on, kill them (intentionally or not) - dang, the moment you kill the last one standing, all dying ones get killed and fight is over.

Hmm any chance to capture the special NPC , like doreen and prisoner commander , the madame kingpin goons clause etc . (ony when quests are completed or certain event are done )

I know it requires tons of work , but who ever did the old AIM and Jagged alliance Mercs , can sure use a new challenge Wink

This makes prison and prisoner even more viable , so you can recruit back Mike for example Razz
start your own mercenary business for future project !

There I said it tons of work , but would make this prison more viable as recruitment for NPC Smile

Update: r7179 introduces enemy generals. Interrogation is closely related to this feauture. Also:
  • enemy officers now fill in the role of 'special' prisoners that was previously empty. They are rare and hard to take prisoner (they get a team bonus in surrender calculations) and very hard to intterogate. But they are your best chance if you ever want to uncover the locations of enemy generals.
  • Prisoners in your prisoners now wear the prisoner-garb that Shank an Dynamo wear.
  • Fix: the experience gain from interrogation was way high. By a factor of 100 oO
  • Fix: chance of a prisoner becoming militia was calculated wrong
  • If prisoners are taken in a sector that houses a prison, that prison can also be selected to house them. So if you take Tixa, you can immediately store the guards you captured right there.
  • Fix: distributing newly taken prisoners in a prison sector no longer redistributes all prisoners, only the new ones. This was a very annoying bug... taking prisoners when defending your main prison forced you to redistribute them all to another prison. Eww.

Is there any way to tell how many prisoners you have at the moment in each of your prison sectors besides keeping track of them yourself (like a tally sheet you update every time a prisoner is taken or processed)?

I'm mainly referring to the strategical view here. It would also be helpful if the prison's capacities were indicated there. Right now I don't really know when they are going to be dangerously full and it's a bit tedious to keep track.

Cool feature though, good job!

@E1vS: There never was a real distinction between mobile and immobile militia... the ones outside of cities could move every even hour, which made them 'mobile'.
You can nowadays use militia command or a radio operator to move militia out of a city. After that, they are mobile.

Flugente, I suspect the engine does not allow for much flexibility in that departement, but perhaps those values can be cleared up a little?

Like:

15/20 (7/4/3/1) [read: 15 of max. 20 prisoners, composition 7 admins, 4 regulars, 3 elites, 1 officer)

If there is not enough room in the row, maybe use two?

Like:

Prisoners: 15/20
Pris. Ranks: 7/4/3/1

Hey Flugente, I have a few questions for you:


Was there anyway to set civilian uniform colors for the spawned prisoners? As in, make the prisoners have the correct colored shirts/pants that the regular army wears.


Where are the quotes stored for the 'Prisoner' faction? (or any faction for that matter)

Quotes are stored in /Data/NPCData/civ52.edt. .edt is an obscure file format we use for whatever reason (likely because nobody is willing to move that stuff to xmls). Best editor is some russian thingy I don't understand which corrupts data at will. I am not exactly a fan. Smile

As of not long ago, prisoners now use the prisoner colours Shank and Dynamo use. This is hardcoded. As prisoners are not a class, you cannot edit them (you can edit army and militia colours in /Data-1.13/TableData/Army/UniformColours.XML). That might change some time in future, which is not now.

Hey, to start off I want to say I'm enjoying this feature a lot.

Due to rantiness this comes with summary version:

1. Notification of AI for handcuffing seems unnatural in my games, I'd appreciate an option to deactivate it somehow.
2. Possibility of a noise system instead in which prisoners call for help personally to notify others within hearing range, but no one else.
3. I can steal Handcuffs off prisoners and re-use them in the same battle, is that intended?

I was experimenting with the Master spy capturing them all, much more like a jacky-chan/spy/action movie than a realistic strategy game, but loads of fun. However, the AI's sudden-notice is getting in the way of this, and I'm not sure why that's necessary. It was suggested that prisoners should still be able to make noise, thus explaining the notification they seem to be getting, but for making noises we have a system in place: yelling.

For example I knocked a guy down and he quickly yelled "ENEMY!" before he passed out (cause he was an elite and thus highly trained, and reacted with causing alarm even when surprised), only one guy nearby heard it who I also knocked out. Then I stayed down to see if there was alarm. There didn't seem to be. I put some handcuffs on them* and boom everyone's in alarm state and rushing around and freeing everyone again, at a different part of the map... it seemed unnatural, rather than like a "Dude, I haven't seen John in a while... think he went missing. Alarm!" kind of thing.

It might be better to have prisoners repeatedly call for help every couple rounds or when they hear sounds nearby, that way they still try to "notify" the AI but do so in a more personal way, i.e. people nearby can hear it and then use their mic to call it in or investigate themselves, but it's not free insta-knowledge for the enemy. -- This would also open up room for features that shut them up like threatening them into silence (using leadership I guess), or the device mentioned earlier in the thread (i.e. physically shutting them up).

I think you were just trying to add something cool to the game, not completely change it, but this has the potential to do the latter in an amazing, but non-intrusive/optional way. I don't know if you've played this game: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desperados:_Wanted_Dead_or_Alive - but it too can be played in a way where you beat people KO and tie them up and carry around the tied up bodies to avoid other people seeing them. That made it possible to take out large numbers of enemies with just few if done well. Of course we can already do that by just killing everyone carefully with a pistol with muffler or such; but your feature made keeping them alive possible as well, which would be an awesome change. --- is it potentially possible to make carrying of prisoners or even knocked out enemies a reality, or would the changing states between object (item) and subject (enemy) cause too much trouble?


*footnote on hand cuffs: currently I steal hand cuffs back after each use, because apparently they stay prisoners even without cuffs, and I do so because so far I only have a single pair (from Raider, who I flew in just for taking them), and haven't found a way to buy more yet. --- Is it supposed to be so that I can just take them off once they're cuffed and have them continue to be good prisoners until the battle is over?

Once again, sorry if I appear to demanding or anything like that. I'm intending to just be sharing my ideas, and thoughts, I really love what you've already made for us to use! Smile

One shouldn't be able to steal handcuffs back, no, that's a bug Smile

It would be possible to have prisoners scream... but that would play nonsense with the AI. Specifically, militia would seek that noise and hang around the prisoner, which is a bit weird.

Applying tape to stop the prisoners is possible... threatening them to shut up is, while doable, more work. The problem is that we have to be able to indicate to the game that we want to interact with the prisoner in a way. So either we use the skill menu (which doesn't really fit and would be very unintuitive) or use a new, 'threaten-exclusive' item, for which we then need cursors, callbacks etc... This is actually nontrivial. It's the same reason we require a knife to interact with a corpse - it is rather complicated to tell the game we want to interact with something.

Carrying around living people is out of the question. Carrying corpses is only possible because a corpse contains so few information that I can condense it justifiably into an object. Doing the same with people would be unacceptable. To do it proper we would also need animations and a way to have one animation be used for two people simultaneously, which the game currently can't do (this is one of the problems that stops us from having static MGs).

All good ideas, but I currently lack the time Wink

Screaming prisoner could use not his ID as ubNoiseMaker but ID of any enemy (his enemy, meaning our merc) around him - enemies will treat it as player's noise and come to investigate its source, and militia will ignore it. Or you can even add special noise type - NOISE_SCREAM_FOR_HELP, that is considered only by bTeam of ubNoiseMaker, not the other way around.
Toggle Spoiler

There's already talking cursor, it could be used to threaten when used on prisoners. Talk menu called on enemies even has 2 "Talk" options, one could be replaced with "Threaten". Or Pablo Greco solution - punching prisoner should make him shut up at least for a while (as long as any merc is still around).

I upgraded from 7205 to 7249. Did you change this feature drastically recently or are the circumstances just different, that I found myself in recently? -- Either way, thanks a lot again.

It feels much more natural now. - While still undercover I managed to knock out some guys, then put them in hand cuffs, without blowing my cover (and then stole them back, cause I only have the one pair, and don't think that's fair. Someone like her would have brought loads to Alruco... Razz ). Took a million reloads (as it should, because doing what she's doing is incredibly unlikely to work).

[sidenote: One of the first things I did was knock out an enemy in the radio role and steal his radio and take the battery out and drop it, yet they still manage to call reinforcements. Does that mean I missed a second radio man, or is it still true that any of the enemies can call reinforcements?]

I worked my way from the outside of the map towards the centre (going in a spiral, sort of), quite successfully. - But in the center people are more bunched together.

I was still figuring out what to do about them, as I finally ran into trouble. Suddenly there was reinforcements coming who then freed everyone. Going back a save I found out it was a problem with not being able to move the alive bodies, as one guy from the middle paroles that far out only rarely, thus making me think it was safe.

One of the first things I did was knock out an enemy in the radio role and steal his radio and take the battery out and drop it, yet they still manage to call reinforcements. Does that mean I missed a second radio man, or is it still true that any of the enemies can call reinforcements?


Moving alive, non-allied but co-operative or unconscious bodies would be a major game changer here, but as you said it would be difficult to do with picking up, due to temporarily making them disappear, become an object that somehow stores all their relevant information and then appear again, to potentially be freed later and continue being a soldier just as before?
But what if we do it without picking up? pushing/pulling for example?

-----

Another side note: While undercover and before ever discovered pressing D starts round based mode for me, and ending the round goes straight back to real time, not giving the "enemies" a turn because they're not my enemies yet. Repeatedly shifting between the two allows me to travel almost across the map (in round based mode) while everyone else is effectively standing still. While I love this for sneaking up to people where they might have turned or moved otherwise, it is effectively cheating. Any idea how to avoid it, besides not doing it?


Can't tell you how much I love your additions and contributions to this game! Smile

Enemies can always call reinforcements, and always could. The radio operator trait merely allows the player to do the same, and can use a skill - jam frequencies - to block anyone from calling reinforcements.

Pulling/pushing soldiers would require animations which we don't have, and will still be quite a lot of coding work.

You discovered the way that allows you to clean a sector with stalthkills and a single merc it seems Smile. That's a result of how the turnbased/realtime system works. I see no way around that, it's on the mechanics. One could change that by not starting realtime immediately after ending a turn with the enemy unaware, but that would just plain suck. Just don't do it Smile

Prisoners as hostages during a battle. Meat shields. I'd very much like it if I could send some poor redshirt out to stand in a doorway while I take cover behind him and start blasting.

A thought.

Prisoners as hostages during a battle. Meat shields. I'd very much like it if I could send some poor redshirt out to stand in a doorway while I take cover behind him and start blasting.

Pulling/pushing soldiers would require animations which we don't have, and will still be quite a lot of coding work.

I want to sell female prisoners to brothel in San Mona for extra monies. Maybe male prisoners too.

Is it doable?
