Recruitment Service Extended

NOTICE: You might want to check out Recruitment Service Extended - New Faces by Mystermask625. It enhances the visuals and may be more up to date.

To make sure you don't have any conflicts with other mods you use, PLEASE SAVE your game before hiring an NPC when you

use this mod for the first time. If you find that your ship is broken after hiring then you have an unknown conflict. This mod was

only tested on a clean game and unfortunately I do not have time to resolve conflicts.

THANK YOU to arshiba (x4 forums) who, after reading my own bug report, took the time to completely refactor the code for version 5. 00. Users should now no longer need to start a new game. There may be some save bloat from my old version, sorry, but to lessen that you are encouraged to undock and fly to a different sector and save (without docking) before installing version 5. 00.

Everything else about the mod:

DESCRIPTION

Based on the original Recruitment Service by LitauenLitauen (and with permission) which added the recruitment NPC to Argon Prime, this mod adds the NPC to any station by creating a new room (so you can now declare war on Argon and hire crew from another faction's station). It also extends the featureset:

• []Players can choose to hire male, female or let the game decide by selecting "any available"

  []Limited to Argon crew members, sorry. Maybe a future update or another modder can add other races

  []Two additional models are now randomly selected so in addition to caucasian, also african and asian are possible ( see MODELS below)

  []Players can edit the XML to configure prices ( see CONFIG below)

  HOW IT WORKS

  When the player spawns (gamestart) or docks (passenger or as pilot) on any station / wharf / etc., the mod will attempt to create a room, spawn the NPC recruiter and add an option to the station transporter labeled 'Civilian Labor Force'. The old method of spawning the NPC in the manager's office stopped working for Teladi stations after X4 Timelines 7. 00

  Once you enter the office, speak to the NPC titled CLF Recruiter. She will ask you what type of crew you want, followed by what gender you prefer, followed by how many and finally which ship you want to place them in. This ship must be docked at the same station that you are on.

  If you have enough money and space on the ship, the game will generate the appropriate number of crew and apply them to the ship.

  MODELS

  The models are randomly chosen by the game. The original version of the mod only used caucasian (race_cau) as the model type in the character macro. To preserve the changes
