Update 54: A.R.V.N., Bus Routes, villages & civilians, Bugfixes

NEW STUFF:

• Towns now also have A.R.V.N. garrisons from 3 to 6 soldiers.

• Player can now recruit A.R.V.N. squad at town flags (press F6).

• Bus Stops have been added to all towns along Highway 1 along the coast of South Vietnam. Each bus route will take you either north or south to the next town along the coast. Pleiku has a route connecting to Qui Nhon. if you play as V.C./N.V.A. you need civilian clothes to take busses.

• Busses added to traffic in Vietnam.

• Heavy Flak Jacket can now be bought at any armorer tent or building. It gives 2x explosive damage protection compared to normal Flak Jacket, but weighs 12lb more.

You can still use the original one by changing setup in inventory page 2.

• Incendiary Ammo Magazines can now be bough at armorer tent/building. You can maximum carry 2 magazines which are used in place of normal rifle magazines next time you reload rifle.

Each incendiary bullet have a chance of setting troops and structures on fire.

VILLAGES & CIVILIANS:

• Civilian interaction menu (for U.S. player with arrest, check papers, request intel) now also has option to give Janky Bar, Ration or 10$ to civilian.

It is prioritized In that order, so if you have no Janky Bar, it will give ration. And if no rations, it will give 10$.

Some may reject it, but if accepted, loyalty of their village is increased by 4. Civilians are too humble to accept more than one gift.

Giving gifts will inherently increase the chances of villagers giving intel.

• Civilian interaction menu now also have option to taunt civilian. It will normally reduce village loyalty. Some civilians don't care though.

• Population count in villages are now updated to be more realistic and dynamic.

• Loyalty boost to village for U.S. squads being near is now affected by total killed civilians in village relative to (initial) village population.

• Past war crimes of player now affect village loyalty bonus of him being near. Message will appear every two minutes if it is negative effect.

• Village UI screen will now update population and loyalty while it is on.

• Village loyalty penalty for player killing civilians should now work as intended.

• Villages loyal to VC should now have more ammo supplies in village.

• Propaganda posters in villages should now change faction when village does.

• Village loyalty penalty should now work as intended when destroying huts and houses or setting them on fire.

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Towns now have a jeep or V100 parked for the ARVN soldiers.

• Some towns with no parked civilian cars or food stalls now have some.

• Bao Loc town updated.

• Dong Xoai town updated.

• H-13 pilot head position lowered for better view.

• Obstacle Course net wall and plank wall now gives stamina and strength skill when reaching top (more for net wall since it's higher).

• Distance at which friendly bases near prevents being captured as P.O.W. has been reduced by 50%.

BUGFIXES:

• America & Siberia: Updated scene prefabs to fix a bunch of issues caused by earlier updates like menu, icon and interaction issues in the USA (sorry guys).

• Issues when getting weapons back after being P.O.W. with weapons stuck on screen should now be fixed.

• When changing corps while in-game, issue with getting old weapon stuck on screen should be fixed.

• Operation name issue in UI where it would display some of them as "Operation operation...." has been fixed.

• Compass being pulled up when cleaning gun (inventory page 2) should now be fixed.

NOTES:

This update got hurried a bit to fix issues i realized were messing up America scenes.
