sphereii Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 you are correct my log does show an issue and when loading launcher i get an error about an xml file.

I dont know how to fix it It's because you have some bad data in the mod launcher. Note: this will clear any of your "My Mods" you may have. If you have any, let me know, and I'll show you another way. Otherwise: Click on File -> Clear -> Clear Configuration Then restart the mod launcher.

Redarmy45 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 OK i cleared launcher configuration,restarted mod launcher and booted up with all required mods. Mod launcher is not throwing errors anymore but the mods are not working..if i go into F6 spawn menu,no NPCs from the mod are shown there.This is what the mod launcher says as it loads the game...

As you said Xyth...if mod loaded correctly they NPCs should be in the spawn menu via F6. Is there something obvious im missing perhaps? I load a new game on Navezgane map,have default options on as far as i know,after spawning in i hit F1, type "dm" in console,exit console,hit F6...but do not see Baker,harley or any other NC introduced by the mod.

khzmusik Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 So, there is good news and bad news. SphereII has a new version of the Mod Launcher. Once I downloaded and installed it, all of the modlets in the Mods folder showed up. So far, so good. To be safe, I then deleted all of those mods through the Mod Launcher's Mod Downloader screen. I double-checked that they were deleted by looking in the Mods folder (they were). I then re-downloaded all of the NPC modlets (NPCs, wandering traders, bandits). They all downloaded and showed up as active in the Mod Downloader screen. I started the mod, and everything compiled and linked fine. I played the game, and after a while, a couple of NPCs spawned. But now the bad news. If I interacted with the NPCs, no dialogue options came up. There was "screen real estate" for the dialogue options, but absolutely nothing was in them. (This is different from the last bug, where the screen showed the trader options - this shows nothing.) I'm attaching screenshots and the Mod Launcher log file. Hopefully they will help. https://pastebin.com/93WkeBmZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redarmy45 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 UPDATE I got it working by downloading your NPC mod directly from launcher a second time. NPCs are showing in game and can interact fine with them. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sphereii Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Where would I find the file with the logs you need? I've looked but am not sure which files are the correct ones to post. Are you using the Mod Launcher? If so, after trying to load the game again, go back to the Mod Launcher, click on View Logs button. By default, it will show the 7d2dlauncher.txt log file. This will show the compiling, downloading, etc. If you click on the log file, it should drop down and show you another option: output_log.txt. Select that one, then click on Upload Log file. This will give you a pastebin.com link, which you can send to us. It'll contain you log file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redarmy45 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 By the way,im sorry if this is a little off topic,but the NPCs are hired each for 1000 casino coins/tokens.Being totally new to the game,and planning to create a custom single player game with 50% loot available via options menu,will it make it difficult to aquire enough tokens to recruit a handfull of NPCs? Also the hunter NPC seems to have a chainsaw sound resinating from him constantly in melee mode or when standing next to another NPC.Thought i would mention,the NPCs also seem to have a extremely low rate of fire,usually getting off one round before zombies come within melee range. Other than that its really great having these NPCS. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again Edit these 2 lines in the NPC Entities.xml file: <property name="HireCurrency" value="casinoCoin" /><property name="HireCost" value="1000" /> The HireCurrency can be any item, like a rock or a bullet and the HireCost is the number of those things needed. Easiest just to make hire cost a smaller number. I see where darkStar put the chainsaw sound on this NPC by mistake. I will fix and push in next patch. As far as the low rate of fire, Sphereii is working on a property where they can guard a position using ranged weapon and not close the distance all the time. Since we are using the in game AI there are limits to what we can do but I will play with it a bit more.

khzmusik Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 (edited) Do you have the mod "SphereII NPC Dialog Windows" installed? Yeah, I'm a dummy. I thought of that this morning on my way to work. I'm not sure why it didn't download that modlet automatically, it is listed as a dependency. I installed the other dependency by hand , so maybe once it saw that dependency was installed, it quit checking the others? Also, when I went to download the dialogue modlet, I kept getting an application error (some kind of index out of range error). I'm going to just delete the whole thing and start over, hopefully that will work. Addendum: The error persisted even after deleting the entire game directory, but it went away after I restarted my computer. I saved the stack trace if you need it, but it seems like it would be fairly specific to my installation, so I don't know if that would help.

SteelBlood Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Thanks for the help! Found the log. Ok here is the order of what I am doing: 1. No other mods, Game is Alpha 18.1, DMT is 1.5.7. 2. Using DMT, I build with Xyth NPC, Xyth Bandit, Sphereii Core, Sphereii Dialog. It build successfully and I click play on DMT. 3. I notice instead of the original 4 files, there are now 6, a new Xyth NPC and Xyth Bandit folders. Issues: 1. After clicking play, it skips the main menu screen and goes straight to my last game I was playing. This could mess up some of my other modded playthroughs. 2. Many times, the game will load once after building, but the next time gets stuck infinitely loading and I have to verify game files. 1 file always has to be reacquired, then it works normal again. 3. Once actually in the game, any entity can't move, but otherwise acts normal. NPCs, zombies, and animals.

I went in and had a look and found it.Nice one. As far as NPC ROF goes, you said about sphere adding a property ... "can guard a position using ranged weapon and not close the distance all the time",just to be clear the NPCs were not actually closing distance they would remain pretty static alot,and not have a long detection range(less than zombies it seems),the actual amount of times they decided to shoot was minimal,even when distance to threats were 10+/20+ meters away. Either way looking forward to any extra tweaks you guys can come up with.Love this mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redarmy45 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Xyth,is it possible,and would you consider adding the ability to recruit the wolves or dogs in game? I know the dogs are zombie dogs but the wolves are not so it might make sense.Make currency a piece of meat or a rare food. I just got done playing FO4 and already miss dogmeat lol.

I believe this might be that file, which would mean it is getting corrupted whenever I build. I verified and restarted game again, and the same problems persisted. The file being re-verified and re-downloaded is Assembly-CSharp.dll, as DMT modifies it. It does not, however, modify or touch Resources.assets. You should not have to re-verify every time you build using DMT, unless you are deleting your back ups in DMT, which is a manual task. Do you have any anti-virus software that might be causing issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pushed an update that edits the ammoNPC to walk toward his prey rather than run, and increased his rate of fire. Seems to work well, but needs testing. Note I didnt edit the other ranged ones made by DarkStarDragon so be sure to test on the AmmoNPC. Also, the Ammo NPC has an AITask to Guard a position and try to stay around that spot rather than close to the entity. Its a work in progress, designed if you wanted to put a guard into a position on a base wall and not have it jump down and charge. You can try removing that AI task and renumbering the following 2 tasks, so its now: <property name="AITask-8" value="GuardSDX, Mods"/> <property name="AITask-9" value="WanderSDX, Mods"/> <property name="AITask-10" value="" /> And you could change that to: <!-- <property name="AITask-8" value="GuardSDX, Mods"/> --> <property name="AITask-8" value="WanderSDX, Mods"/> <property name="AITask-9" value="" /> if you wanted to play around with that. - - - Updated - - - Xyth,is it possible,and would you consider adding the ability to recruit the wolves or dogs in game?

I was just playing there and NPCAMMO one sht me in the back of the head insta killing me lol.He WAS recruited,trying to hit a zombie,i got in the way...In description you said friendly fir is off,is that just NPC to NPC or is there a bug? I also accidently hit him with my torch and his health started dropping down by ALOT,like 300-400 points in a matter of 5 seconds,activating him paused it/stopped it. If these are known issues or normal sorry,just wana report anyway to let you know. Im on vanilla Alpha18 normal steam version. EDIT sorry i just reread post seeing you updated.What i just reported was in previous version though might still apply.Thanks for update il download it now and give it a try with him Edited November 15, 2019 by Redarmy45 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xyth Posted November 15, 2019 Author Share Posted November 15, 2019 The NPCs should be immune to bleeding and disease but I didnt think about fire.

Just to be clear,adding the NPC mod to the mods folder and going into launcher,DOES show NPC mod activated/enabled in launcher,but upon going into game NPCs are not in the spawn list.Upon exiting game and looking at launcher,the NPC mod is not listed anymore. quite odd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khzmusik Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Well, after my initial troubles, everything now seems to be working as intended. I started a new game, so haven't gotten very deep into the NPCs, but so far so good. There is one thing I noticed though. With the NPC mods installed, the normal zombie textures look terrible. They're incredibly low resolution, much worse than the vanilla game. Is there any way to solve this? I vaguely remember talk about lowering the NPC texture resolution due to memory concerns, but I might be mis-remembering that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelBlood Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) After I verify game files, I build with DMT. After building, if I try starting via vanilla launcher, the game can't even load to the main menu. If I start via DMT, it skips the main menu and loads my latest save. Once loaded in though, nothing moves. This is without manually deleting anything, and after checking, it is not an anti-virus issue either. I tried with the 7D2D launcher as well, but I couldn't get it to find my mods. Edited November 16, 2019 by SteelBlood (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
