DeathNotes and naming

Pending 1.0.8

I just bought and installed BotReSpawn and am testing it out with one monument to get the feel of the plugin. I use kits and it's very simple to populate by selecting the kits (though my count for that monument does read 0 kits with autospawn set to true). When the spawns kill or are killed, deathnotes reports the death (yay) BUT, the spawns have a bunch of crazy, random names that I cannot find in the config. Any idea from where these are populating? Is there a way to pull them from the kits in some way?

Hi,
By default npcs are given a random display name, but you can specify custom display names in an array in config.
It's not editable via UI but you can edit the custom/default monuments json file.

The format is [ "SingleName" ] or [ "multiple", "bot", "names"] 

If you have multiple one is chosen randomly, but if you happen to have the same number of names as you have kits, it will always pair them up, so a random kit is selected, then the matching name is used.
Like kit1 + name1, kit2 and name2, etc.

Hopefully that's your answer. If not, or you need anything else, please just let me know. 🙂

Hi @Steenamaroo,

Thanks for the quick response. What's the path for the "custom/default monuments json file"? I am not seeing it. 

Also, is it possible to pull the kit names themselves from Kits in a future release? I would also love to pull from ZombieHorde, though I know the config for each is different.

Thanks!

Kits can be managed via the BotReSpawn UI and it does pull all the existing Kit names from data, so all you have to do is click up/down buttons.
NPC names do have to be entered into the data file manually, though, with the formatting shown above.

The files are in /yourserverfolder/oxide/data/BotReSpawn/

Okay, I think I get it.  To clarify, I edit the default-DefaultProfiles.json file such that I add the names of the kits IN ORDER selected in the UI. 

What if I want one of multiple names to be selected for each kit? Is that possible or am I limited to one name per kit?
