Then you should ask in my thread.
Look at the top of Wasteland's dialogs.xml. Change the value for CurrentHireCount to something higher. I think it's at 1 now, which allows for 2 hires.

Dumb question, but will there be an option to have players add their own npcs to the mod then? for their own personal games? Surviving the wateland with a vroid or Tifa companion would not be so bad.....drkstardragon said:

Thank you for this. I couldn't hire at all after one of my hired bugged out and I tried to dismiss him to finally picking him up and throwing away (it was still bugged after I placed it so there was no use). I can finally hire others. thanks.Then you should ask in my thread.

Hi All,
I'm trying to add the npc pickup icons that I see in the outback roadies mod to my current game as mod 1-XNPCPickUpIcons and I'm not having much luck. I see them in the creative menu, but my current hires do not show the proper icons when picked up. I would appreciate some help. This is everything I have:

Good evening, I seen that some you tubers talk about swapping weapons of NPCs. Im playing Age of Oblivion and have an NPC with a spear and want to change it for a shotgun, I put a gun in the players inventory and then go to the weapon menu and shotgun but do not see the option to change it. Am i doing something wrong or does this only work on 'vanilla' NPC mod, NPCs? Cheers

pipermac has certainly discussed this feature in the modding channels, but I can't confirm if it has been fully implemented for AoO custom NPCs. It is worth asking directly in the AoO thread or Discord, to ensure you get the most accurate and current response.

These updates were dynamically applied to existing hired NPCs when I first added this feature to Outback Roadies after the initial release. Testing it with just this post loading modlet, and the NPC Mod in Navezgane on a new World will help to see if it is applying with just the minimum. Sharing a log will go some way to see what else is happening in the mix.

Inside the 0-XNPCCore/Config folder is an Options folder. Inside the Options folder is a file called entitygroups_nocorespawn.xml.
1. Rename entitygroups_nocorespawn.xml to entitygroups.xml
2. Place that in the Config folder to overwrite the existing version.
3. This will remove the default NPCs from appearing, which includes the Cook and Nurse.
Alternatively, they can be removed from the default entitygroups.xml from the biome spawning lists.

Yes. the entitygroups_nocorespawn.xml + the Add On Packs will provide exactly who you would like to appear beyond the Baker and Nurse.
NPC Spawning...
NPCs tend to spawn from most to least:
Snow
Wasteland / Pine Forest
Desert
It really depends on the Add On Pack creator and how they set their NPCs to appear. The snow is very frequent since they are usually hooked up to the Lumberjack spawning list which is separate from the regular zombie list.

Thanks for your reply! After further investigation, I found that I was using an old version of 0-SCore (21.2.18.950). Updating to the latest (21.2.170.702) fixed the problem for me.

Hi. I am hoping someone can help me because I cannot find any information on it. In NPC mod there is an item called pathing block anyone know how it is used?
Second question would be, in ADMIN menu during interaction with your NPC, there is an option to set pathing as patrol path, I dont know how to set path code, anyone can explain to me on how it works? or any video tutorial? I would like it to patrol certain path to avoid clashing to dead-end all the time or going thru ways that I dont want them to go. Any idea?
Third, will the NPC auto heal themselves if I equip them with bandages or first aid? or can my upgraded drone heal them (detected as ally)?
thank you so much

1. A pathing block is an invisible block that you can write on, in order to give orders to the NPCs around it. It was originally (A19?) created to give pathing codes to NPCs, but I think it's mostly used nowadays by NPC POI designers, to make their ranged NPCs stay in place and act as sentries. There is a little bit of documentation in SCore. If you're not designing POIs, I wouldn't worry about it.
2. That also came from A19 (I think). The idea is that you told the NPC to follow you, set patrol points at certain places, and at the end told them to patrol that route. I don't think it works currently, but people can still test it, which is why it was moved to the admin menu. I also wouldn't worry about it.
3. NPCs that use Utility AI (which is most of them, including all friendly NPCs) heal themselves already, without you having to tell them or equip them with bandages. If you see them making a motion like they're bandaging their arm, that's what they're doing. (Animal companions also do it, but I don't think there's an animation state that shows them doing anything.) There currently is no way to do it otherwise, either by healing them manually or via a drone. All this might or might not change in the future.
