Not Medieval Mod - A Fantasy Modpack

Maybe add fences to the POI borders ?
That give you little advance against the "high Undead count potential spread around the building."

Excuse me if I didn't describe what that means clearly.

Fortunately, they are only spread around on the inside of the building and there is nothing placed on the outside. It will only be when a player walks through the door or brushes up very closely to the building's walls that the undead will wake up and respond. It has been very safe to walk outside without being attacked.

I just thought about a garden fence like many of the POIs allready got.

That would fit at the small town/living houses or crafting houses, so not every customer walk over the flower the crafter's wife plant.

Fences are a must if you have a moat with spikes around your base. The NPC´s wreck them all the time if you have no fence around it.

Yep, fences would be nice for town houses for sure, and even some of the merchant buildings which double as houses. For new POIs added directly from the NMM team, that is very possible. For POIs that came from the CP48, the rules are to leave them as the creator intended apart from modern things and it isn't possible to add fences to those. We'll add some more fences like the one Guppy has for his house as it works well and helps to separate the POIs a little.

The Hansel and Gretel gingerbread house has been added to the development build and already comes with fencing.



The only residents of this building are the Goblins as it matches their size and character.

Outstanding mod, I heavily endorse this. 

Keep up the amazing work, I will be here all the way.

The Github Development build has been updated to include a new Quest.

Contract: Eliminate Horde (Created by @Laz Man for A18 and still very worthy for A20 with just a few updates and customisations)

This quest is placed in the player's toolbelt upon spawning but can also be purchased directly from the Trader when it is stocked.

It is a multi-stage quest as follows:

- Be prompted to head to a selected trader to pick up building supplies.
- Head to a predetermined location and craft defenses as requested in the Quest progress area.

- Place your flag and the Horde will attack your mini base.

- Eliminate the incoming to achieve the Quest.

- Return to the trader to collect your reward and initiate the next stage that follows the same sequence.

There are 3 defense challenges from regular entities, feral type entities, and a mix of feral/chaos type entities.

Each stage of the quest gets closer to the trader to simulate an encroachment into NMM Outpost Territory.

Rewards are very generous and upon completing the final stage, players pick up a skill point.

Players can build their defense beyond the minimum requirement.

Here are a few images to demonstrate.

Check your quest and activate it.





Head to a predetermined Quest rally marker and activate it.



Follow the Quest instructions and place your flag. Once you place the flag, the horde will spawn.



Eliminate a preset number to complete each Quest stage.



More entities spawn than needed, just in case a bear or NPC gets involved. You can finish them off or return to the trader once you hit the quota.



Collect your reward.





A new Quest costs 1200 as base price, but the rewards are most favorable.

Is there a reason why you put a zip-archive into the main folder of the world github  and not the files from inside the archive ?

To download the world you mainly use the Clone/download zip function, then you have a zip inside a zip.

Alternative there should be a way to put the archive into the releases, where it can be downloaded too.

Instructions on how to bypass the Clone/download zip function to remove the need for double nesting zip files.

1. Click on the zip file name as it is a hyperlink to a new page. It will open in a new window that provides only the zip download.

Alternatively, it can be downloaded directly.

Here is an update for the Github development build.

Blood Moon Vanguard (Quest)

Upon completing the initial survival quests, players will be given the Blood Moon Vanguard Quest. This quest is only for Blood Moon entities. The challenge is to eliminate 222 entities to receive a skill point reward. This carries over for indefinite Blood Moons and is repeatable once 222 has been reached.

We shall monitor feedback on this value to see if it needs to be revised. As a Single Player it's quite reasonable, but with an NPC or a Party, the player will still receive an elimination point even if they don't complete the kill as the game accepts a non critical hit as being accepted.

This Quest is also from Laz Man and we understand it was created to encourage players to join Blood Moon events.

The Quests for NMM fit into 3 categories:

- Regular day to day POI quests from the trader.
- Expanded quests that are only for specific times or can be fulfilled without paying too much attention, such as 'Zombie Slayer'.

- Special Quests that may send the player on far and distant challenges to face a unique beast.

So how is one supposed to kill three guys with bows/crossbows on top of one tower in the joust arena while the other three towers also have people shooting at you?

Skip to 2:05

Alternatively, you could level and gear up sufficiently to deal with the threat or skip over the poi in favor of one less challenging. There are many pois that will severely challenge players, and taking the better side of valour at times is the better choice.

Another interesting attempt at a solution skip to 1:36

Well i got it as a quest on day 29, level 36, Dragon Sword T5, Oakraven Crossbow T5 both modded, wearing iron armor. Figured it could be the crossbow bolts of boom (great naming there btw) but i am still not sure if there is screamers in the mod or not. Usually i rather prefer to not attract screamers in a bigger quest POI. Well we will see, i rather don´t cheese the game so the clipping isn´t my favorite method.

Just wonder how you can even get to the tower to dig under without beeing shot. As soon as i enter the POI they start shooting. And on survivalist it takes only 2 shots to die.

Will try the boom bolts next. Great mod anyways, nice work.

I tend to stay outside with the Masai rifle after activating the rally marker and clear some of the towers first by running around the outer walls. If they start to come outside, which they often do, I stay really close to the wall to thin them out a bit. The wall seems to reduce their shooting angle very nicely. I haven't seen a screamer yet even though they should be hooked up still. I shall have to investigate that more... Stealth and NPCs do not really go together too well.

Hi,

great modoverhaul so far, just a few comments.

- the beginning is pretty hard, you just need to encounter the wrong orc, or got a bad POI with armoured ones and you will have a deadly start.

What do you think to give starter 1000 silver, so they can recruit someone mellee NPC which help's alot.

After 2 trader mission i could hire someone and the progress at the POI was alot easier.

- I recently encounter Robyn the hood, and notice she want 10 herbal as hire fee. Ofcouse i don't got that and even if i would have it, not with me.

My idea is to add an recruiter NPC at the trader POI where you can recruit NPC's too. Maybe at last these NPC which can be hired with silver.

- NPC inventory, ok i think that is the NPCCore thing that you can't easiely transfer stuff to their inventory, like you can do with other storage. But maybe you can forward that.

But i generell thing all the NPC inventories (and horse) are too big. That should scale with the value/level of that NPC/horse.

- Horse and fuel.
These 0% fuel disturb me abit. What do you think about to switch from a motorcycle to a bicycle ? Then you don't got a fuel display anymore. Sure when you sprint with the horse it take's your stamina. Ok i am not a horserider, but i think when someone ride a horse at full gallop, the rider need to do some active things too which drain stamina.

Alternative, why not use plantmatter as fuel.

Yes there are screamers, they were actually attracted and you can see one in the second video after the tower is destroyed.

There is a bit of fleeing required at the start, doing Tier 1 missions for the trader is the best way to go. You can get a fair bit of silver pretty quickly this way. Robyn is a rarer npc and those you can only hire with special items they want: Roast Chicken for The Hound, Herbal Antibiotics for Robyn the plague doctor, a skull sword for Konan, 30 beers for Gortrek and 30 silver ore for the elven archer. At some point plan was to add an adventurers guild where you could obtain quests and hire companions. The inventory for npcs and vehicles in the mod are standard for npc mod and for vanilla vehicles. The horse and pegasus will not require any fuel is not going to change at this time. Thanks for your feedback canute.

There seems to be a problem with NPC´s you can hire. I just lost 2 of them. Logged out yesterday, told them to stand where they are before, logged back in and 2 of my 3 followers are gone.

Gotta say we are still on Version 19. We want to explore the mod a bit before starting over again. And it´s on a dedicated server but no one was online since i logged out.

 

[Canute]

I notice when you use the stay command, they don't defend themself, any weak creature can kill them.

So carefuly with it. Maybe something came by and killed your 2 NPC's.

I notice recently these H for Hunting mode, is there a way to change the mode maybe ?

Nevermind, you should give a hint about these craftable NPC action, to bad you can't assign key's with that.

Could someone take a look at this Tier 2 POI ?

I tried it now 2 times, and the creature on the top floor don't spawn.

Unable to clear the POI for the quest.

Npc mod includes craftable controls for the npcs. The mode button is the most useful, place it on your toolbar and toggle it between hunting and full control. Hunting they will attack anything hostile in sight and Full Control will make them not attack anything, useful for travelling where you dont want them to take off after everything. When you tell them to stay they will shoot at enemies coming within range or melee anything hostile that comes close enough. Will take a look at the poi when i have time, the final dungeon is massive and taking up all my modding time atm.

This is a known issue in npc mod on dedicated servers, occasionally they will disappear for no reason that we have found yet. Havent had it happen in sp for quite some time, was deemed resolved in sp.
