New Gameplay Mod: Civilian Defense

[FunkOff]

With the intent to make this a featured mod after substantial testing, I announce Civilian Defense!

Download Link:
[see below]
Installation Instructions:
Place in My Documents --> My Games --> Gas Powered Games --> Forged Alliance --> Mods (unzipped)
Activate in the mod-manager in-game

What is Civilian Defense?
You must defend/attack the Civilians!

How does it work.
On many maps, there exist civilian units/structures.
First, Civilian Defense breaks players/AI into teams based on their faction. Players will be allied with other players of the same faction, and enemies with everybody else.
Second, Players who have civilians to defend (civilians of their own faction) will receive defense beacons. Civilian trucks brought to the defense beacons will be evacuated off-world. Defenders will be awarded with +5% resource production bonus for every civilians evacuated.
Third: Attackers are given spawn beacons. Spawn beacons spawn reinforcements periodically. Killing civilians gives +5% spawn rate bonus per civilian killed.

How evacuation beacons work:
-Civilian Structures are labeled: Civilian Structure
-Civilian Structures are worth 2 Civilian Points
-If Reclaimed, a Civilian Structures turns into 2 Evac Trucks
-Evac Trucks must be brought to the Evac Beacon and *ANY* defender's base.
-If a defender loses more than 60% of his civilians, he loses. The mandatory minimum that must survive is 40%.
-Defenders win by destroying all attackers and protecting 40% or more civilians.

How attack beacons work:
-Attack Beacons will spawn units periodically at a set rate.
-The spawn rate will increase for every civilian killed.
-Although it will initially spawn only T1 tanks, it will spawn higher level tanks at an increased rate if there is a higher tech factory nearby.
-Build and upgrade a factory near the spawn beacon to get T2 and T3 level reinforcements.
-Attackers win by defeating all other players.

If the map has civilians from multiple factions, than players of those factions will be BOTH attackers AND defenders and be subject to all the same constraints, and receive both bonuses.

I'm atm working on maps to add some Civis or make some changes on some maps.You'll find them in the Vault.All maps with a "CVD" in the end of the MapName are edited for the mod and means Civillian Defense. I will also do right after that a Special map pack and give a link.

Does this only work in FAF? I just tried it in the Stock 3599 version,and it doesnt work. Do we need a AI for this to work as well? I cant seem to get this to work at all.

Even in a Mod free FAF... It keeps trying to refer to TransferUnitsOwnership in the aibrain.lua

This mod was designed for use on FAF. You don't need AI for this to work.

Find me on FAF today and we'll test it together.

Also, re-download it. I've re-uploaded a new version about 4 times since I first made this post, to correct various bugs.

And I worked over 1 hour to get Sung Islands working but it doesn't.Even the Evac. beacon doesn't show up. o.o

Well , I've noticed that (some) trucks get destroyed before they get in the transporter.Is it an FA bug?

To the mod: The beacon still need hours to evacuate the trucks.
