AFAIK it won't work as the lootable container you would set would overwrite their NPC inventories. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDzu Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Quick question: Is it safe to add this mod to existing save? Also I really want to use it on dedicated server (when I use hosting site, they give me dedicated server right?) but since you mention there are too many bugs on it, I will wait for green light...

Is that a npc mod issue or a 7 days to die issue? i have witnessed this with the Age of oblivion turret clones. They just magically disappear. I have also watched a sledge turret get sucked beneath the ground too, and have fallen through the bedrock from time to time. It may be a npc mod issue? How often have you seen it happen and is there a detail: terrain, location, time of day; that sets this off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xyth Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 The falling into the ground is a vanilla issue which was recently acknowledged by TFP, and is being fixed. In the meantime, in the next build we added the player unstuck code to attempt to unstick NPCs as they fall and place them a bit above ground. Seems to be working well. We are almost done with the must fix bugs on dedi servers so a new build should be coming soon. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooooh, that is sad I was hoping that it wouldn't be a problem since "Known issues" mensions only updating core files, but oh well... will there be ever possibility to add this mod to existing save or is it technically impossible? Really sorry if i'm annoying, I just love this mod, but I already play on dedi with friends and we are quite far in progress, so starting game again is out of question.

You can backup your save game and try it. But since this mode, specifically the SCore, has so much code, its almost like adding new a game into 7 Days to Die. That's likely to break any savegame since so much of the game is being changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for explanation. I will probably wait for more stable dedi version and then try it and provide feedback. No matter what I love your work.

That is a setting in xml that can be adjusted but rapid despawning is needed right now as a work around for another issue. 1 damage is the minimum the game code enforces. There is no xml way to reduce that to zero yet. Yes i hired them ..they follow me without any problem..but when i ask them to stay..everytime i get into my motorcycle and go to other place..they are with me lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xyth Posted January 16, 2022 Author Share Posted January 16, 2022 We are close to a new release which will fix that issue finally, as well as falling through the world and many other fixes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktrain Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Excellent job and my appreciation to everyone involved in this project, love the features and especially the modularity of adding more NPC's! couple things in the picture i want to change but don't know how: how do i change the name in the enemy health bar to something other than npcNursePistol? how do i remove the wall of text displayed above her head? and you can't see in this picture, but the compass indicator is off by a noticeable amount, which is probably due to my HUD changes...but where do i change the position of the compass indicator to match my HUD changes? Thanks! also as a test i killed her and looted her real fast before the corpse disappeared and got 500 First Aid Bandages!, is that supposed to happen?

xyth Posted January 16, 2022 Author Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) 500? no, just 5 should drop in a separate drop bundle. Our testers never saw this issue, and you cant loot npc corpses, so some mod you might have added is bugging it. That info only shows if your in DM, debug mode. Its debugging info We added localization in the next release, so that should sort the name issue. SMX provided the additional UI stuff, so look in the mods UI folder.

ktrain Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Thanks for the info! I will remove everything else and see if i can reproduce the 500 bandages...and if i was in DM which i don't believe i was for that screenshot One more question and i swear that is all...how do i disable spawning the tutorialzombie?

xyth Posted January 16, 2022 Author Share Posted January 16, 2022 Remove her from entitygroups, though that might break some other things, id need to check . She that bad? 😃 Shes the A19 version texture wise, needs a refresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xyth Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 There are many fixes in this next build, which should be available later today. No limit on hiring at this point although there probably is an upper limit to the number of NPCs active at once if your rig isn't strong enough. We need more testing at this point to see how this engine runs under load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can hit each other from really far and then they come back to each other. Sometimes they will have their backs to a target and somehow are still able to hit them NPCMOD-DEDI-0012 Dead NPCs can still be interacted with (ex: Hiring them) NPCMOD-DEDI-0013 NPCs cannot be despawned after you hire them NPCMOD-DEDI-0014 NPCs are frozen after you spawn them in, disconnect and reconnect. Entities spawned in using the following methods do not despawn when you disconnect: - Dynamic spawner - Quest SpawnEnemy action - Quest GameEvent action - GameEvent Trigger NPCMOD-DEDI-0017 Cannot dismiss an NPC. They still follow you and then appear as hired again NPCMOD-DEDI-0018 Hired NPCs cannot damage Allied Player NPCs but can damage the allied player NPCMOD-DEDI-0019 Hired NPCs will not attack a player if that player hurt their leader NPCMOD-DEDI-0020 Hired NPCs will not friendly fire non-allied players if Kill Strangers is on (possibly Kill All as well) New Features These are the new features in this build: NPCMOD-FT-0004 "Configure damage prevention from other players' hired NPCs as per server's settings" The NPCs now follow the server setting related to killing other, allies, etc. By default, kill strangers only is active, but this can be changed in the game settings. NPCMOD-FT-0006 Have hired NPCs automatically follow me on dedicated servers The NPCs will default to following you once hired NPCMOD-FT-0017 Have my hired NPCs teleport next to me when I die There is a new setting which needs more testing, to control what happens to the hired NPCs when the hiring player dies. <triggered_effect trigger="onSelfFirstSpawn" action="ModifyCVar" cvar="respawn" operation="set" value="1"/> Adding (or uncommenting it in the default NPCMelee template) will enable hired NPCs to respawn with player on the players bedroll , highly experimental NPCMOD-FT-0021 Prevent NPCs from damaging vehicles Yea, that was happening, NPCs were damaging their owners vehicles And the best for last! New command interface that gives you more control over your hired NPCs. This feature is in testing now, so let us know what you think. Here is an older (to be updated) demonstration of the features and how to enable the commands. More in the works, stay tuned!

Aidaou Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Hi, First time using your mod and I'm running into a strange issue; I feel like it's probably me but I downloaded all of the mod files, put them in the Mods folder, and when I load a new game I get a bunch of errors that flood by fast than I can read them then repeating errors saying "EXC NullRefernceExceptoin: Object not set to an instance of an object." Game never loads. Sits on "Creating Player" Any idea what I'm doing wrong? It's a new map and a new save. Also tried to load this onto a server with a fresh map and save and the server itself loads but I get stuck connecting with an error pulling configs. Thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
