Prison Architect

Prison Architect

Combine Architect

Texture and Name Ideas
I have a few

******
I'll start with staff and prisoners

Prisoners: It would be much better if the prisoners wore jumpsuits like they do in City 17, with variations of colour dependant on their security factor

Cookers, Janitors, Gardeners: Vortigaunts. For those who remember, there were some Vortigaunt slaves in City 17, hence it would make slightly more sense. There could be some human models in the mix, if that'spossible

Workers: Stalkers. they are the Engineers of the Citadel, as it seems, so it would fit with the canon, this being a Synth-made prison and all

Visitors: Again, Jumpsuits and maybe the sweaters some wore in City 17

Dogs: I would say Hunters but the fact that they have six legs and the dog model doesn't have moving feet would make it look off. ANother idea is trained headcrabs, but meh. Could even be Antlions, or Rollermines

Guards: Regular guards already look like CPs, but I think armoured guards should look diffferent, potentially to look like Prison guards from Nova Prospekt with Yellow eyes (Though I think the head stays the same when applying body armour). Armed guards look fine as Overwatch

There are a few others such as teachers, but I'll mention that in the Room Name ideas

******

Handheld Objects
(Maybe I'm not receptive enough and some of these are already in the mod, but, eh)

Shotguns should look like the ones in HL2, The Sniper rifle should be based on the model in Episode 2, where Alyx covers you with it while you get the car. Pistols should also look like the HL2 version BUT in the description for what-would-be stun guns, it should ssay they are loaded with tranq rounds. Or, and this is slightly more imaginative, it could be a variant on the EMP device Alyx uses

Stun batons are already a thing to replace normal batons

Keys could re replaced with keycards, simply to futurize it up

Somewhere there has to be a Crowbar. maybe for the hammer, or even a tool, as long as it has "Metal" in the description

******
Program names:

This is where we get creative. obviousley, the Combine don't give two ♥♥♥♥♥ about a prisoner's well-being, so I made them more to sound like they are trying to brainwash the prisoners. Some I can't come up with, so please mention any ideas

When selecting Programs, it won't say Prisoners are interested but liable, removing that Idea of volenteering

Alcoholics Group Therapy - N/A
pharmacological treatment of Drug Addiction - Biological immunity Treatment (To prep them to be CPs and such)
Behavioural Therapy - Behavioural Restructuring (To make them more compliant. I was thinking the Psychologist could be an Administrator)
Workshop Safety induction - Production and Construction Authorization
Carpentry Apprenticeship - Material construction (They could be refining metal into the materials used in the Citadel
Kitchen Safety And Hygiene - Catering Authorization (Maybe something meaner. This is like the reject pile for CPs. Can't aim a gun straight? it's the kitchens)
Foundation and general Education - Basic re-education and Combine Education. False truth, rewriting history, etc.
Spiritual Gidance - no clue
Parole hearing - Citizen reintegration
Death Row appeal - Citizen decommision

Guard tazer Certification - Tranq-gun Authorization

******

Room names
Most of these can be kept the same and still make sense. here are a few that could be changed to match the background. Most are based on their related programs

Execution - Decommision
Workshop - Production
Common Room - Recreation
Kennel - Hunter/whatever-it-gets-called-in-the-end Containment
Staff Room - Staff Re-energizing (I dunno)
Classroom - (Just) Education
Parole Room - Reintegration Room
Library - Approved Literacy
Chapel- ???
Reception - Citizen Intake

******
A few other things

Solitary doors - fitted with the Combine lock
Tv's and Radios both have a descripton including Dr Breen's speeches
Phone Booths need to be called something else, not serving their purpose as outside communication
Prisoners could be called Citizens


If you have any other ideas, comment

I got a Idea

The riot truck and troop truck should look like combine dropships [Or APC's]

Maybe the janitors and gardeners should be vortigaunt slaves like in the start of the game of HL2. :steamhappy:

Instead of crimes it could be "Time until next transfer" and were it lists crime it could be reason of stay such: Work, emergency evacuation (As if rebels attacked the citizen's previous residence), administration compromise, etc.

Mainly taking inspiration from half life 2 roleplay, from Garry's Mod.

Cell - Apartment
Shared Cells(Don't remember their name in game) - Slum Apartment
Solitary Confinement - Deprevation Chamber
Execution - Amputation
Workshop - Production
Common Room - Recreation
Kennel - Synth Armory
Staff Room - Officer Lounge
Classroom - Re-Education
Parole Room - Transfers Office
Library - Approved Literacy
Chapel - Union Lecture Hall
Reception - Transfer Intake

Just opinions here, again.
Shotguns look pretty cool as is, they look very combine-esque, though I haven't seen them, they should keep combine weapons for all of the ingame firearms.

OML THAT MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE

You should check out the discussion I made. :D: I'm already designing a combine city using this mod, so far it's around 50% complete.

You could make dogs into city scanners
FelipeAugusto27 23 Apr, 2018 @ 9:52am 
make the street rails to the trains

Suggestions are readily available from me
Make Workmen become Stalkers (As you stated.)
SWAT Van becomes Combine APC
Prisoners given the Citizen Outfit (As you stated.)
Troop Truck becomes Combine APC (Maybe with a slight change to differentiate it from the SWAT Van?)

The SWAT Could be the Combine APC and the Troop Truck (As it's not often used ingame) as the original human APCs.

I made a seperate mod for Combine Architect that renames the npcs to fit the combine architect mod, tho i dont think it is near perfect anyway
Generic user #984 17 Apr, 2019 @ 2:59pm 
spiritual guidance could be replaced by advisor counceling sessions or something like that...
then again thats if this ever gets worked on again... hope so...

Legendary prisoners are anti-citizens/ resistance members.
