Better Npc 2.1.8

Hey just an Idea, how about you add some kind of tribal warriors for the jungle. They can use blow darts or something

Hi,

Can non-weapon items be added to npcs, such as a Portable Boombox?

Cheers

Hi

Is there a reason why multiple names cannot be added to the Cargo Ship NPC's Config? i tried listing them as with the other configs, but it does not like it.

Cheers

Is there a trick to add more than one "number" with the chat command?
For an example: /SpawnPointAddPos {number} {name}  

would be /SpawnPointAddPos 2 example

The only way I've made it work is to manually add a second (or third) section in the config file. 

i thought they had the ability to use rocket launchers? when equipped they just stand with empty hands and run at you.

Is any of the skin use in the plugin are paid skin ? do we have to be worry ? should we reskin them all ?

FrogBoots, pants and shirts  are all paid skin.

I'm having the same problem.
And I can't use "sqawnpointreload" either.

I'm not sure that it matters, as long as their gear is not lootable. I could be wrong.

My servers has the same issue.

After removing Gamemode from my servers, the NPC's now drop loot again. Had to remove Gamemode from startup to fix the tech tree issues Facepunch is currently having. It just so happens that fixed the loot issue as well.

I use IcedHost and just deleted the argument +server.gamemode softcore

What problem? 

Same problem 
I'm using +server.gamemode hardcore and the BetterNpc plugin do not end up loading.
And the NPCs never spawn.
After the 56% loading progress it gives the message:

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

I'm also using IcedHost, Pterodactyl.

I deleted the argument from the IcedHost Startup settings page.
And add it into the server.cfg file.
Didn't work, same problem.

I also deleted the argument from the server.cfg file and add it to the additonal arguments box into IcedHost Startup settings page.
Again didn't work, same problem.

I don't know what else to do.
Completely deleting the starting argument will return to vanilla gamemode resulting in killing all the players and deleting al their loot.

Please help

None of the NPCS are spawning after this Months Forced Wipe!

I'm running a PVE hardcore game mode server with a procedural 4k map.
Tried to add hostile custom NPC to the Outpost monument but they didn´t spawn.
Could it be a due to its map marker being broken? (like it happened last month)
Maybe my error was name the file "Outpost".... idk.
By the way I used the command /SpawnPointAdd Outpost to create it.
And tried placing the file in folders Custom (didn't work) then Monuments (didn't work).
Is there a way to add custom NPC to the Outpost, Bandit Camp, Barns and Fishing Village A, B and C?

Same issue with Primitive game mode, did you get a solution?

Is there a way to disable the ones from the config and allow the vanilla ones to spawn?

I don’t want the ones on oil to spawn from the config but I want vanilla ones to spawn. 

/oxide/data/BetterNpc/Monument

Open for example Millitary Tunnels. file

"Enabled? [true/false]": false,    <----- Set this to false if you dont want Better NPC there.

Yes, current version ( Better Npc 1.3.3 ) solved the issue in Vanilla and Hardcore modes.
Didn't check in Primitive mode tho.

We've been getting random siren sounds across the map (simular to oilrig) that all players can hear since last wipe but just thought was just a bug in the update, However Just noticed everytime i reload BetterNpc the siren sound instantly starts. Not a major issue just thought you might wanna know incase it's causing side issues.

need update

Just to clarify, there is no option so that a player deployed supply signal, will spawn supply drop defenders?

I think this answer was tangled into a post about the excavator, but just wanted to make sure.

If this is in-fact the case, would you pass on to the Dev that it would probably be a pretty popular option, and many of us would dig it?

I've looked at every line in the airdrop event data file and don't see it there, or in the config.

Thank You
