Otherwise the only mod I tried that did not work was behemoth, sad face.
Couldve sworn the crash offline only started when i installed npc core, but yeah this link from khz did the trick.The Epic call home is part of the base game. The NPCMod has no external calls.
Is this Khaine's Behemoth mod? If so, I'm guessing you ran into the same issue some other folks were having. The Behemoth mod uses the same physics body ("zombieBehemoth") that comes with NPC Core, so they are conflicting. If that's the case, you can just remove the physicsbodies.xml file from the Behemoth mod and everything should work fine.
EDIT: Also, if you want to go fully offline, there is a Steam forum post that tells you how to do it:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/251570/discussions/4/3196989600456389838/
I have not tried it so do not know if it works.
i have a question is this mod compatible with undead legacy? cause i have the npc spawning but now theres no dialog for them to be hired and same with all the traders?
One last question, this may not be the right thread for it but I'm having an issue with random world generator custom dialogue, whenever I generate a custom random world, it completes creating it and shows the preview but then does not either start the game or give a start button, there is only the option to go back or create another one. Then the world that took 15 minutes to create still doesnt exist in saved games, or anywhere else it just disappears.
How do i use a custom world once its built then?
And if i dont use the 7daystodiemods.com site for latest version, does that mean i have to find them all at github individually? Where is then the best source of all of the updated ones at same location?
Where is the best link to the modlauncher? I can't seem to find it anywhere.It creates the world itself, with a random name (like "Kubixe County" or something), and saves it in your %APPDATA%/7DaysToDie/GeneratedWorlds folder.
When you go back to the "Start Game" screen, you select that world in the "Game World" box, just like you would select Navezgane or one of the vanilla prefab worlds.
I personally use these forums as the "source of truth" for all 7D2D mods and modlets.
You can still use 7daystodiemods.com to discover mods and modlets, but it usually includes a link back to their threads on these forums.
Or even easier, I just use the Mod Launcher. I honestly don't know why people would use anything else for modded games. I've been using without issues since the game was in Alpha 16.

Remove Harley from entitygroups.xml to prevent her from spawning.More questions:
Disable a single npc? Like if I want harley quinn to keep from spawning?
Hi everyone
Does anyone know how to hire NPCs and not get attacked by any survivor?
I have the latest version of SCore, XNPCCore and some NPCMod installed, but when I want to hire someone, I can't interact with the E key and it attacks me, when I find a survivor, it immediately attacks me.
Do I have to enable or disable something to prevent this from happening?
Any help is appreciated.
Regards
So looking in entitygroups.xml, there are probably a thousand lines of code with harley in there, I wonder why? And of all of the models she has the most number of types, weapons, spawn events etc. Do I really have to go through every line and delete/comment them out?
I notice also in entitiesgroups there are arachnid groups but they are filled with human npc lists?
Also I have the robots pack installed, but have seen any spiders or robots yet, or raiders. I assume these default to later game stages? Or biomes or pois?
I wonder also, when youve hired an npc, they basically 'sigh' over and over once a minute or something, how hard would it be to turn this off? Or to alternately change it to something random and fun?

Just to get the obvious question out of the way...
You're sure that those are "survivors" (Whiteriver) and not bandits?
You started a new game after installing the modlets?
What is the "some NPCMod" that is installed? It's possible this altered the behavior of NPCs, or has a bug. (If it's one of mine, I'd like to know.)
Hi there! I just saw this over the weekend and I think this is cool and a good idea if you need npc help. I followed the instructions to put the "two files" in the mod folder and they work. I put the "Gurlz raider" mod in and it works, but I don't know how to deal with the "friendly Gurlz addition". Any help would be great! Love the npc mods btw!On 1/7/2022 at 2:35 PM, xyth said:
Current Stable Version: 20.6.01.01
Current Experimental Version: Not Available
The NPCMod is a community modding project. While initially started by Sphereii and Xyth back in A16, the team continues to grow in size every alpha. The goal of this project is to provide "Core" functionality and templates that can be reused by modders to add high functioning characters to their mods. There are 2 core modlets, both are required for this mod to work. The 0-SCore modlet contains C# code and the 0-XNPCCore contains the xml and templates.
By design this mod encourages expansion through expansion packs. Character packs focused on a entity type, for example, a 1-soldier pack or a 1-spider pack add new characters to the 0-XNPCCore. A 2-soldierfactions pack might add different factions to the 1-soldier pack, reusing those same soldier models. The sequence 0-, 1-, -2 etc. indicates there is a dependency on another modlet with a lower number prefix. Other character modders have committed to contributing additional characters that leverage this mod pack like they do to the POI (Buildings) collection called CompoPack. If you would like to join this community team, or have some features or characters to contribute, we would love to hear from you!
Features:
NPC Controls:
- This mod includes a Unity Tutorial Project (available separately) containing the mods controller and templates and scripts so making new characters is easy.
- NPC characters support all vanilla character features. These include Humanoid rigging, root motion animation, collision with vehicles, rag-dolling, 100's of animated reactions (including hit locations, limping, etc.), limb decapitation and gore. These can also be retextured in xml to offer even more variety. There are some exceptions, especially on animals, which typically do not have ragdolls.
- NPCs use a new Artificial Intelligence system called UAI. Unlike zombie AI (EAI), this system allows for advanced tasks and real time decision making based on considerations. Should the NPC attack, run, loot, follow, backup to optimized weapon range? All tasks and considerations.
- Work very well as sleepers in POIs, respecting all of the POI volume properties.
- Can be setup to attack on bloodmoons!
- Spawn with vanilla or custom weapons just by editing xml.
- Can be hired, becoming loyal companions, sharing your adventures and challenges.
- Hired NPCs can be ordered to follow and stay, with new features like looting and guarding coming soon.
- Animals can also be hired, though don’t accept Dukes. Try meat.
- NPCs have factions. Some like you, some don’t. Beware of bandits!
- Hostile NPCs have additional AI so they will hunt you down more than zombies can, be warned!
- No more losing your NPC. They will teleport to you if stuck, get too far away, or if configured, to your bedroll when you die.
- They will follow you on foot, keeping up with you, and if you get into a vehicle, they will hide and reappear once you exit the vehicle.
- They can heal themselves when its safe to do so, and there is a medic package for characters that can heal and mend others.
- Low maintenance, no need to feed or water these folks, but that is a feature that could be available later.
- Lifelike Idle animations while chatting and wandering were added to improve immersion. Many more will be added after initial release.
- When the player/leader crouches, so do the NPCs
- Scalable, modular architecture, so expanding character and new behaviors is much simpler.
- Customizable pathing per NPC will be available but requires implementation details not yet available. Stay tuned.
There are craftable player commands that will control your hired NPCs as a group. You can craft these commands by typing in NPC in your crafting menu.
Tutorial Video: NPCMod: Controlling Hired NPCs through Player Actions - YouTube
There are currently three commands:
- Mode: This command is a toggle between various control modes:
- Hunting (default): In this mode your NPC swill automatically target anything that it sees as being hostile towards it or yourself. You have no control over their actions besides stay and follow.
- Full Control: In this mode the NPCs will not automatically target anything. It will behave as if all hostiles are threats and will only engage if you are hurt or if you start attacking one of the threats.
- Stop: This command is a toggle and when paired with Full Control will make your NPCs halt or resume attacking their targets. This becomes especially useful when you feel like you or your NPCs will not survive an encounter and you want them to simply follow you so you can avoid the encounter altogether. It is also useful when you wish to travel without engaging any targets.
- Help: This command is useful when you are in Full Control and want your NPCs to engage targets within 20 meters of you. If you are without ranged weapons, you want to be able to have your NPCs help you without having to either take damage or attack the hostile.
FAQ's
- What happened to the CreaturePacks and NPC mod?
They have been merged, combined and obsoleted. Now that code can be natively loaded by the game, there was no reason to keep those two separated. This version is simpler to load, maintain, and has more features than either one did.
[*]Can I run this with EAC enable? NO, EAC must be turned off.
[*]Can I learn how to add my own characters?
Sure, its never been easier to learn to make characters. Lots of work went into simplifying the process, and scripts can do most of the work for you now. There are videos available to assist.
[*]I have great ideas for more features, where do i make suggestions?
This thread works or on Guppy's modding forum in the NPC-mod channel
[*]I found a bug! Where do i post that?
Please provide the info requested in the bug form found below, and post it here or on Guppy's modding Discord under the npc-mod-bug reports
[*]Does this work on dedicated servers?
It should, the current version tested well on dedi. All mods, cores and expansion packs MUST be loaded into BOTH the Dedi and all client Mods folders.
[*]Have a good question? Maybe you will see it listed here soon!
Known issues:
- Always use a fresh game if you update Score or NPCCore. Strange things can happen updating the cores on an existing game.
- The UI needs work, some overlapping text, Sirillion has volunteered to refresh it.
- Hired NPCs might Leroy Jenkins on aggressive animals, use the command interface to gain more control.
- Melee NPC detection of crawlers in the grass isn’t as good as ranged, but works.
- NPC ranged can sometimes not hit as well as other times. Let us know if you see a pattern. Might be debuffs accumulating.
- It’s a very new mod, expect bugs we didn’t find yet, and please report those.

Installation:
Turn EAC Off!
Option 1: Download 0-XNPCCore.zip and SCore using the links below. If the download is a .zip or .7z file like the 0-XNPCCore.zip is, then unpack that compressed file and place the mod found inside into your Mods folder. SCore isnt compressed, so download that folder directly. Then load as many expansion packs as desired, unpacking the file if needed. If you are using a dedicated server, you also need to load both Core modlets into your dedi server Mods folder. So copies in both the client side Mods folder and also on the server Mods folder.
Option2: Use the modlauncher to load the 2 cores. Here is a helpful video to get you started:
***Edit: I could however just enjoy what did work...***
https://github.com/SphereII/SphereII.Mods/releasesThe repo for SCore is here:
https://github.com/SphereII/SphereII.Mods/tree/master/0-SCore
I don't believe there is any way to download only a subdirectory in a GitHub repo (his repo contains many mods and modlets). However, he has a mirror at GitLab, and you can download just SCore from that:
https://gitlab.com/sphereii/SphereII-Mods/-/archive/master/SphereII-Mods-master.zip?path=0-SCore
Thanks for helpin, but I think the two mods themselves messed my world a little, so I won't install anymore than what I have that works. Lol. So, when I installed the two "Core mods" I went into my world and I had two bikes (one for me and the other for my other account) they are now both white (was red and blue) and whatever was in them disappeared.... Also, they both show yellow icon on map like I own them, but I only own one and the other my other account own. So funny.https://github.com/SphereII/SphereII.Mods/releases
nevermind, i just notice the releases are an old version.
