This is odd - the misc simulator does not read gisini.txt. What exactly
do you mean when you say that the misc simulator cannot connect? Does it
print an error or does it just crash? Can you run it through gdb and
send me a stack trace?

I certainly hope this is not the cause!

That parameter is the ID of the object (i.e. road/node/building) that
the civilian is located at.

You probably can - so long as the value you use is a valid ID. The
easiest way would be to duplicate the entry for, say, Civilian52. You
will get two civilians in the same location but that's OK.

Of course this will then not be the correct qualification scenario, but
I'm sure we can make allowances for bugs in the simulator (at least
until the bug is fixed).

Cheers,
Cameron.
