Another thought - back to the topic of the miners/welders...

Is there any way there could be a weapon that didn't have any actual damaging purpose, but still produced a visual effect? My thought was to have basically a prop weapon (a blowtorch prop for the welder guy, digger prop for the miner) so they can look like they're working on something (undoubtedly extremely important) while the battle around them rages (or kills them while they work, either way, it's eye candy).

There's Lord Tim's blowtorch, which is pretty handy. Shovel? Ronin has it. Chainsaw? lotsa mods have it. Circular saw? Vault-tech.

We need more power tools... maybe a prop mod? Drills, tools, hardware etc that future civvies are likely using as improvised self-defense? Maybe dumbed-down versions of the above-mentioned hardware?

ive been working on figure out what to do on my spare time since i disowned the happy halloween mod because it wasent haveing any progress since no one became a lua coder but i have been looking at look recently and i understand it i cant lua script now :)

Mode 1 = Steroids (Heals them doesnt pump them up i need help with that if you want it)
Mode 2 = Poison (takes 42 health)
Mode 3 = Mind Control Syrum (DUH)

Drill: A tool that can do 2 things (Z,X for Modes)
Mode 1 = Slow
Mode 2 = Fast

Hammer

Sand Paper

Weed Whacker

Pickaxe

Hatchet

Crowbar

Screw Driver

I need more ideas.

Nifty! Civilians also come in handy for anyone wanting to make a 'terror mission' mod for X-Com.

Tool ideas; a leaf blower that can push actors away, an extension ladder, bridge builders and hole fillers to help that poor AI cover torn up terain?

Also, it would be nifty if they had no collisions (I think is what it's referred to) if possible. If they could walk past one another without squashing/gibbing/killing each other that would be excellent.

That's easy, just HitsMOs = 0 on the body.
However, other regular actors will still collide with them and such.

I remember some miner actors way back when, but they were clone proportion, not coalition, so they would be kind of misfitting if brought back.


Edit: what about something like these? Maybe not the professions you had in mind for civilians, but they're what I would expect CC to have, in non-military clones. An industrial welder clone and a miner clone. I can't guarantee they'll actually be made, but I thought I'd try doing some civic sprites, mostly from scratch.
[sprites]
-Arm proportions are screwed up, I dunno what the hell I was thinking while making that outline.
-Feet and Hands missing
-Miner needs his own torso
-Not very masculine legs
-Miner helmet looks funny, probably the shades used
-Welding helmet seems very pasted on, probably could use a strap or something.

Purposefully jpeged as thief deterant. I don't like the idea of someone using my stuff before I do.

where can i download this mod? i like to have workers but i use dummies and the fat guy from club dibilov.

No-no image quotey please. Thank you. -Duh

Oh Oh OH what would be nice would be that civilians would be lookouts, kind of!
As soon as they see you they run away and as soon as they get past x position then heavily armed troops appear either from the sky or some distance away and walking toward you, so you have to shoot the lookouts before they raise the alarm!

Civilians... Great Idea!
But I guess you, guys, forgot about our 255 MOs max :(
To have some scientists\workers\prisoners\etc just sitting at their labs\caves\cages\etc + some soldiers defending all that CC should have at least twice more MOs allowed.
Just think of easy calculation:
One person without a gun consists of at least 7-8 MOs.
255/7=36. Sounds enough, right?
But if you have, for example, 15 civilians, you have only 150 MOs left for everything else. Enemies, rockets, dropships, your forces - all in just 150 MOs...
But if you have your workers having some tools - even less then ~150.
Think about it.
