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!
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.
Shes the A19 version texture wise, needs a refresh.
