NPCMod and Addons

With every Alpha/Version update so far, we have performed a test to ensure spawning is appropriate based on the updated settings.

This test was performed with:

V1.2 (b27)

0-Score (1.2.8.1136)

0-XNPCore (1.2.01)

1-NPCXBirdPack (1.2.0)

This image show the first bird from the Bird Pack appeared after about 300m from start point.

The Nurse took a bit longer than usual, but this is random spawning and on other occasions she will appear within 500m.

The Baker was eliminating a zombie in the Desert.

Harley was hiding under a tree in the Snow.

Based on this test, it wasn't possible to verify any issues with the NPC Mod default characters spawning, or the Bird Pack. In fact, the Bird Pack spawns a lot more frequently than the default characters. It is generally intended that 1- Add On Packs appear more often than the default characters. The Fox also appeared in the desert from the default animals.

If you continue to have issues with NPC Mod entities not appearing, and are on the most up to date versions, and can rule out any conflicts from other mods which may overwrite the spawning, such as a 'more zombies' mod which may totally overwrite what the NPC Mod is attempting to do, you can always share your log in here as a https://pastebin.com/ link for review. F1 to open console and top right tab for 'Open Log Folder'.

 
Updated the link to DarkStar's add-on soldier pack.  This pack was also updated by Arramus to fix double spawning.   

 
I have made some more testing on the mod

In 1.2, (map RWG 8k and 6k)

Only mods (dowwnloaded this morning)

0-Score (1.2.8.1136)

0-XNPCore (1.2.01)

1-NPCXBirdPack (1.2.0)

- Except some POI packs

I get no NPC spawns at all, but can admin spawn NPCs, and they will work
Also no Zombies at all will spawn outside Pine forest.

When i (downgrade) to 1.1 version, it all works like a charm, same POI mods and a load of others.

Any ideas?
I feel pretty dumb as i see your tests where it is working...

 
I cant reproduce that.  However, the spawn rate of NPCs at beginning gamestages is very low.  On a new game it took me over 5 minutes of flying around to find a non-bird character,  I saw zombies occasionally in all biomes.  You can give yourself experience points and raise your gamestage, then you will see more NPCs

So it is all solved. I deleted the game and reinstalled, now it is working smooth
I have installed all previous mods (big list) with no conflicts.
So actually from what i can come down to, the problem must have been caused by a POI mod.

At last i can see birds

 
was wondering if anyone can point me to a detailed tutorial for making npcs to work with this mod any bits of knowledge would be very much appreciated as i am still trying to learn how exactly everything works. Thanks in advance for any help

 
After solving my problems wich simply to was delete and reinstall the game (still not sure what caused it).
I thought i would post a link (picture of all mods i use +60) that wotks 100% with NPCs. Could always be helpful to somebody...

Are you playing in custom map ? Game Version 1.2 ?

 
i don't think it's the npc mod ... probably some expansion pack ... when i tried to run ''EndZ-Western Entity Pack'' or ''Darks Raider Gurls'' i get a error and no zombies or npcs in other biomes ...

From the error, my guess is you didn't get the latest versions of the mods. 7D2D version 1.2 changed the XML so that the biome spawners need IDs. All the NPC packs had to be updated.

If that's not it, you'll have to post your entire log file to pastebin and share a link here.

FWIW, if you're using my NPCs, I haven't updated them yet. It's on my todo list.

Ty ! 

it's probably that ...  I'll try to find out which expansion packs are updated to 1.2

Love your mods btw

 
Pushed minor update 1.2.02  Fixed bug in UAI where hired NPCs drop into idle when between 30M away from leader and teleport distance.

 
1.2.03 pushed.  Minor update, fixed SetTargetifHurt parameters on a few entries.  Save safe.

 
For those interested, I just updated the Civilians NPC pack to version 1.2.1.0. It is now fully compatible with the game version 1.2 (and the updated NPC Core and SCore versions).

Btw anyone knows how to spawn only the npcs from addons? Not the originals from the mod itself ...

I added links to both packs on the first page.  Thanks!

In the NPC Core mod, look in the Configs folder. There will be a subfolder called Options. Inside that is a .zip file, which contains another mod that will disable all the NPC Core characters from spawning. Just unzip the contents into your Mods folder.

You can also do it yourself, but this is the easiest solution.

Thanks! Sorry I didn't tell you about it sooner.
