A19 NPCs DMT Mod

Here's another odd one for you. I switched out the npc model for the baker with a zombie uma model, along with other appropriate data changes, and removed the right hand joint setting. It did not cause the glitch. Soon as I spawned another npc, was harleigh this time, the glitch happened once again.

I saw the hand issue in A17.1 before. Had nothing to do with custom entities but was a vehicle issue. Notice the hands are stuck in the "holding steering wheel" position.

 

Tried to reproduce this and cannot. Are you using a custom vehicle mod?

I found it rather odd that the issue went away when I changed the model the npc uses since that should have no effect at all on the player.

 

edit --- I also thought it was a custom vehicle issue as I did notice the hands were in the "steering wheel" position so I removed that mod and the issue persisted. That's when I created a totally new and clean directory and tested with only the npc mod and it's dependencies.

I had been testing things with modlets I'd manually downloaded so out of curiosity I removed those and tried it with them installed by the mod launcher. Initially I didn't get the glitch. So I had an npc follow me as I drove a short distance. Then the glitch occurred once again.

 

edit--- On further testing, I now have to drive around for a bit with an npc following me for the glitch to occur.

Sphereii, we talked about this a week ago:

- There is a rare glitch with vehicles - when you drive in a vehicle and then get out, sometimes your hands seem misplaced and blurry when you move (video 7:55). I added this here because so far I was unable to reproduce this glitch before hiring an NPC. The only way to fix this is to close the game and load it again.

EDIT: Actually it's pretty easy to reproduce: spawn both 4x4 and NPCAmmo near you. Get in vehicle and get out.

 

Here's the video it referred to:

And here was your reply which was also a reaction to that other problem with NPCs disappearing in the trader's base:

Will investigate this. I haven't visited a trader with them, nor spawned in a vehicle.

Just a wild guess on my part, could it possibly have something to do with the coding that makes them put their weapon away every so often?

 

Unlikely, that's just an animation sequence in unity. I tested by spawning the ammonpc outside of the range that triggers that "IsBusy" bool that triggers the animation and it still bugs out. The wandering Traders also have that feature and do not bug out the player like the NPCs do. Yet Unity wise they are almost identical entities.

I had a feeling that was a long shot of being the issue. As for the teleportation, I've had the glitch happen when they had just been standing still and not teleporting. Not to say it still couldn't have something to do with that but just an observation on my part. I've had it happen when I haven't hired them or even spoken to them yet. I just drove up beside one and got the glitch

Ahh right, now I remember that. I did test the trader and think I understand what's going on there, but not sure if I can fix it.

 

I'll look over the code again, but not much should interfere with the player or its cameras / animations.

By the way, I just hired NPCBaker, one of those poor NPCs that only have 200 points of health out of 800 for some reason and I clicked "tell me about yourself" and nothing happened.

 

Two things should happen when you have Tell Me About Yourself: a tool tip should pop up, taking up most of the screen, and writing out to the console. That's handled through the SDX_EntityAliveSDX mod. The dialog option is handled by the aui_Dialog.

 

It almost sounds like there's a mismatch. You can have the option in the dialog, but the script will ignore it if its unknown.

I will test this on a clean copy. Maybe it didn't update properly. Usually when things seem to work on a clean copy, I copy the files to the game that already contains my favorite mods. Sometimes I get too excited though and that's when I try the modded game right away. This was the case, so I will check if it works on a clean copy of the game and I will let you know.

no worries. I re-tested the vehicle / hand blur, and it seems to only happen if the vehicle moves. Must be something that is out of sync. Were you ever able to recover from it, aside from logging out and back in? I tried a few things, but no dice.

Well, when I was focusing on this bug, I only tested it with 4x4 truck, so originally I though it happens only with some vehicles and I also thought that it happens only when the vehicle moves, but then it happened to me even when the 4x4 truck was not moving - I just entered and left the car (NPCAmmo was near) and I ended up with blurry hands.

 

Today it happened to me even with bicycle, so it seems like it could be any vehicle and whether you actually drive it or not, it doesn't matter. Once you enter the vehicle, you are likely encounter that bug. It happened to me even when NPC was not around and even when I didn't have any hired NPC. As for the way of recovering from this, unfortunately besides exitting the game and loading it again, nothing worked so far.

So I tested this new version on a clean copy of the game and now it shows some info when I click "tell me about yourself", I don't know why it didn't show anything before. Maybe I should have started a new world for that update? Anyway, I just wanted to ask, did you disable casino token check? Because now I can hire NPCAmmo for free lol

I wonder if it has to do with that animator layer warning we get when we open up the dialog option.

 

They should still cost money. I'm not that generous :) Does the message show -1, or does it show 1000 but doesn't take money from your stack?

It shows 1000 like usually, but takes 0 lol, of course I took advantage of it and now I'm travelling with nurse, Harley Quinn, and I've also put the army guy from Dark's pack and before you ask, they took 0 casino coins even before I added that pack, I just thought like if they go with me out of their good heart, I may as well just go with it :p

 

EDIT:

Something weird just happened. Harley Quinn I was talking about seems like she lost her bat. She does her usual animations of attack, but with no bat in her hands. I met another Harley and she already has the bat in her hands.
