You're correct.  I've got files everywhere from trying to get this working.  I've done a forth clean load.  All are spawning except the Custom npcs from the map.  I suspect because there isn't a preset for these specific npcs files?

No, everything is there, but all 3 road files are disabled by default. After uploading the data files of BetterNpc, enable 3 files manually.

"Enabled? [true/false]": false, -> "Enabled? [true/false]": true,


you must delete (if exist):
files:
oxide/plugins/NpcSpawn.cs
oxide/plugins/BetterNpc.cs
oxide/plugins/UpdaterNpcSpawn.cs
oxide/plugins/UpdaterBetterNpc.cs
oxide/config/NpcSpawn.json
oxide/config/NpcSpawn_old.json
oxide/config/BetterNpc.json
oxide/config/BetterNpc_old.json

folders:
oxide/data/BetterNpc
oxide/data/BetterNpc_old
oxide/data/NpcSpawn/Preset


Then move the data folder from the NpcSpawn archive to the oxide/ folder, confirm the file replacement (if necessary), then move NpcSpawn.cs to the oxide/plugins/ folder, check the console for errors, if there are no errors, move the data folder from the BetterNpc archive to the oxide/ folder, confirm the file replacement (if necessary), manually include 3 road files, then move BetterNpc.cs to the oxide/plugins folder. Everything should work.

I have 2 issues with better npc.
The first is that I cant get the npc to walk on the balcony, it will spawn up on the roof, I used printpos ingame to get the cordinates.

The other problem I have it to get the npc's to spawn when i add custom cordinates and change from Random to Custom, the dont spawn at all.

Anyone know anything about this ?

I have followed these instructions to the letter.  I have biome, event, monument, and road npcs spawning.  I do not have custom map npcs spawning.  the custom folder is filled with the appropriate files for the map.  They all have enabled true.  I recognize that the names of the npcs in each custom npc file do not have corresponding names in the NpcSpawn Preset folder.  I'm suspecting that because that doesn't exist, the custom files do not have a file to correspond with to know which npc to spawn.

yeah, check this google drive from KpucTaJI with new files for custom maps.

I have Npcs now, but they're naked.

Have you carefully studied the downloaded folder for custom map? There are also presets, I believe that they are specified in the presets in spawn points in the /Custom folder/

Got it.  Yes, found a preset folder in the Npc Spawn on the google drive.  Thank you.  This is why you're the professional.    I appreciate all your help.

try add ScarecrowNPC like this or another type, which is a ZombieHorde, I do not know him, unfortunately..

Ah boo, I have to add for every one ",ScarecrowNPC,ZombieNPC"  in the presets. Thank you, this is it. If you do not add, the zombies will not do damage. Thank you very much

Lootmanager:
"Due to negative feedback, this plugin will be discontinued.
The configuration files of plugins that depend on it will be automatically reverted to the previous format in the upcoming updates.
The plugin will be removed from the website once all related plugins have been updated."

I have been going back to version of BetterNpc / NpcSpawn i used before the big update with LootManager.
Can i update to the newest versions of BetterNpc and NpcSpawn without moving the profiles to LootManager?

When Convoy plugin gets updated and removed its support for Lootmanager, i plan to delete that plugin.

It is currently impossible to update without files for Loot Manager, and most likely, even when the Loot Manager dependency is removed from NpcSpawn, you will not be able to upgrade from older versions, because obviously the main adaptation of the update will be aimed at switching from the latest version of plugins.

But Adem will not continue developing Lootmanager and will delete the plugin....
So why not take a step back and remove betternpc from Lootmanager?

Everyone understands this perfectly well, don't worry, NpcSpawn, like everything else, will work without Loot Manager after the update, just stay tuned, everything will be fine.

p.s. why am I writing NpcSpawn and not BetterNpc, because BetterNpc currently uses presets from NpcSpawn, and NpcSpawn presets use loot tables from Loot Manager, just explained, just in case.
