Fixed issues adding support to hiver characters added last update.

same here, the option to talk to the dead Hive Praetorians doesn't appear

@jesterbrown. Perhaps something changed with the Update. I'll check it later

I can't recruit the dead hive Praetorians. the talk to option just doesn't appear

@Anrhaa
Princess of the Cute Hive.
Still - no cloud appears. Is it because I'm not an enemy of the faction she belongs to (UN)?
No idea how to approach this. I just wanted to have one. If I can't by prisoner recruitment that's okay I guess - but then, where in the world can I find one to obtain? Or maybe, where's the highest chance I might stumble upon one to recruit normally? Or buy from slave shop? Any tips?
Cheers!

@Ōkami Kira. Which ones?

Princess of Cute Hive: These are just the female version of the regular hive prince. The edits done to the male version applies to them too, so they're already recruitable .

Princess of The Hive: These are a new race... and they're already really easy to recruit. You can recruit the random recruit at the bar or buy their freedom from a slave shop. Only the concubines aren't recruitable

Hey - what about recruiting Hive Princess race from Hive Princess mod? I have one in my cage but the dialouge doesn't appear at all. I kidnapped her.

Thanks so much worked like a charm, i give you steampoints now

@Maken Grapjes. Alright. I made all new praetorians added by the last UWE update (month ago lol) recruitable. Including unique hiver praetorians. So now you can recruit Tsep, even though he's unique.

Later I'll take care of all other missing hiver and potential hiver characters.

i love you so much

@Maken Grapjes. I'll take a look. Worse case it's another mod messing with their dialogue package

I captured tsep the praetorian executioner its been almost 2 weeks ingame time and he and none of the other praetorians i captured have any dialogue for recruitment i tried starving them taking em out and beating them and even using a peeler to remove their arms and legs but no dice, what is the chances of recruitment for these guys?

Guys I need advice - Are there any tips for hiring hives? It looks like I just have to ask them again and again, maybe any tips like they should be hungry or I should hold food in inventory? I've managed to hire few but it tasks ages.

@Flamio. Yes, but easy it isn't. Looks at Recruitable Prisoner Mod page for spoilers of how to

I am attempting to recruit mech hive drones but they always just say 'never' and end dialog, or some such. Is it possible to recruit them?

buen mo

@TwistJackMachine. It's supposed to be hard and frustrating because you're trying to convince a juggernaut to join you.

Check 'Recruitable Prisoners' spoilers to know the right steps with hivers. Giving money is NOT always the way to recruit them.

Btw, for Fogmen is 212111

can anyone tell me what the dialogue is to recruit ive spent hours trying to recruit but he keep taking my money or pitting .... beyond frustrating theres no clear directions

Yeah I managed to find that

Yeah, I can confirm. That patch is working :) those dudes are terrific and kinda cute. But surely overpowered... :)

@Ridvan. A long time ago I discarded the idea for balance purposes. However it looks like the regular Mist Ghouls RP patch works for this version too.

You'll get a warning for missing mods if you use that patch, but it's harmless.

can you add mist horrors being able to recruitable as well?

I can answer this one. It's because your default game language! Mods add new content with the language they're made with, unless a patch for a language is provided.

So, all the people will talk in English if you don't install the Russian version.

And I just set a base at the Fog Islands, time to recruit an army of zombies workers and son hammer heads

Mech-hiver Praetorian Ponzmin recruitable, confirming :)

Just a curiosity-question if you don't mind.
UWE is in english, this Addon Patch too, recruitable prisoners - same.
But I've got unique recruting dialog with hivers in russian.
Why?:)
*general game language is set to russian, yes, but I thought that I need translated versions of mods to see its content in russian too. Or not?

Nice

SCREEEEEE?
Oh, I mean, he joined. One of Foggy Prets jouned.
Not the Glerb although. But we will get there.. :-D
Mr FoggyP said yes when I've talked to him by Mist Horror. (which was also recruited finally)
Maybe even Fogmen fear them x)

Good xD
So my own fog prets - it's possible... even Glerb! What a name.. 8-)
Well, I try myself, if I fail, good to know that spoilers are always waiting for me x)

Btw I've done some search and found https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1877766165 (recruitable prisoners patch for mod Mist Ghouls) but people in comments say that it works with UWE too (but launcher will SCREEE about it a little bit)
So it basically solves the problem.
Ofc it would be nice to have an UWE RP patch for mists too but it's okay anyway.

@Dvatrij. I got an idea. What about make them able to be recruited IF one has the head of the Night Mother (or perhaps a new item: the heart) at your character's inventory?

@Dvatrij. Ohohoho that's the fun thing. You gotta write down the options you select. It's gonna take a lot of trial and error or not if you're lucky (or if you go to Recruit Prisoner Mod and look for spoilers).

Now, about the Mist Boys... Nope. They can be recruited with this mod. They're so strong and aggressive that I feel It wouldn't be fair at all. Yeah I know Praetorians are OP too and recruitable, but they're far rarer than a Mist Monster

Here I am again with doubts and questions... :-D
I've managed to find & capture 3 (three!) dead hive praetorians.
Two named "Fog Praetorian" and one even has funny name "Fog Praetorian Glerb" :)))

And they even can speak!... sort of.
There are 4 options in dialogue, some of them end it instantly, others lead a bit further but still they're not joining... yet... waiting for helping hunger.
Results so far are:
1) spitting and yelling
2) yelling
3) taking 500 cats from me and yelling xD
I hope it'll change before they die.))

If they join - are they learn to speak "basic" or it still be SCREEEEEE xD ? :)

I've also captured some Mist Creatures. And damn it - they are hive-look-a-like too!
*never noticed before*
Can we recruit these charm-boys? :) Pleas please please say yes x)

thanks, you're very helping as always:)
I don't know what happened, but I've got some npc's missing.
Eg, at midhive hq there was elite droneguard Boralin instead of queen. and no king at all. have no idea where are they :)))
Mr south died because of hunger ;-( :-D
Well, next time... ))
As I'm feeling now, every hiver who has a name - recruitable. Nonamed one (like mr south) seems to be from old version of hive mod maybe.. but anyway. Got my praetorian, gave him some limbs and he's great and brutal now, so I'm happy, my squad limit is not :-D

@Dvatrij. Looks like Mr. South really hate your guts. Nothing that a meal, a beat up and some extra time in prison won't fix. Let's break it. (That should make the system kick in)

There should still be that gorilla. Some hives get the extra King Praetorian.

Hrrm hrrm.
Well, I've managed to capture Midland Hive Praetorian (Named), and he gladly joined me even being 297/300 hunger :)
But that one from South (no named, btw) - still have no dialogue button, and North Hive King (which is also a praetorian, not a gorilla-skeleton somewhy...) - also have no dialogue button..

And elite droneguard from south hive also joined being at somewhat around 200/300 hunger..

So I'm... semi-pleased lol :-D

They need to be hungrier. Almost depleted for the RP system to kick in.

Deadhivers are the Fogmen.

UWE merged 2 hiver mods with very similar names (Hiver Expanded and Hive Expansion). One of them add the new armours while the other add the North, Midland and Mech Hivers. So, if you have UWE, you don't need those separate mods.

And yeah, is better to import after installing/uninstalling large mods.

Hrrrrrm.
I've realised that had installed Hivers Expansion before UWE and they worked simultaneously (I've turned it off, lost some hive armor but it's ok...)

Praetorians are hungry (one <100, one <150), but still no "talk" button on them
Although Elite Droneguard starts dialog, but he's not hunger enough to disagree, waiting...

BTW, where are the Dead hivers?:) I've been almost everywhere but haven't met any yet...

And I guess I'll need to do import because only Mech and Mid are still alive and 1st are my allies... yet... (:

@Anrhaa hey! Really? Ok, thanks, I'll try.. :)

@Dvatrij. They need to be starving.

Doesn't work for me so far. Captured some south praetorians. No dialogue button/icon on them . :(

* For Recruitable Prisoners specifically, some combat attributes were too high, fresh out of the cage. DEX especially, was already somewhere near 200. Toughness, athletics and weapon skills were also maybe a bit too high. I assume playable start would have the usual close to 0 starting attributes/stats.
* If you have any control over its idle party and NPC chatter make it less normal and chatty. Have Edgar Allen Poe quotes, creepy fairytale references or something. Have other party members comment on its scariness. IDK, the normal party banter seems a bit out of character. Would be nice if its unsettling look was noticed, the way fogmen recruits are. Have BEEP admire Mist Creatures many big sharp teeth!

2/2

Sure, but I only recruited the one. And I'm not even sure what kind it is, hive worker or prince looking one. They look so similar it's hard to tell after the make over. But these are my thoughts on the ONE:
* Its current STR is x0.500 and DEX x2.000. I think a bit of extreme, outside the x0.800-1.200 norm, is fine for such odd creatures but tone it down a bit. Maybe keep it between x0.600 and x1.400?

1/2

@Izuela. It makes sense that it works, since they're the same files, just included at other mod. Any other suggestion to make them less OP?

@Anrhaa Actually, after trying the recruitable prisoners patch for the other Mist Creatures mod it DOES work for UWE, as well. The launcher whined about me NOT having the Mist Creature mod but I just left it on long enough to recruit one and then turned it off.
Got a Mist Fiend, named it Morran (Mumin/Moomin reference). If you do decide to mod them in as playable, somewhere, I agree they need to be toned down a bit. x2.000 dex bonus is waaay too high.

@Izuela. Some interesting, but way to OP in my opinion. I'll add it to my to do list

Would you consider adding the Mist Fiend and other mist creatures? There is a recruitable prisoners patch for the original mist creature mod but not for UWE, that I can see

@Bubbles. Nope, but you can kidnap and recruit any you see

does this add recruitable praetorians or do i need a different mod
