Roaming NPCs 0.4.1

Oh, cool. This happens even if the bots are set to defensive? Right now I'm using Hostile Time (https://umod.org/plugins/hostile-time) to that my players can approach outpost and bandit even when hostile. I assume that would prevent the hostility from working with the Roaming NPC's?

yep it works for all behaviours including defensive

Is there a way to give Rewards Points or Eco coins via the Rust Rewards plugin? I noticed they don't show up in Admin Radar as NPC's.

It's because we are not using default Rust's classes for our NPC's

You need to add our CustomPet class in these plugins, for RustRewards i think it can be done via config, maybe same for AdminRadar

So just add "CustomPet" to the configs? For example, Rust Rewards:

 

```  "RewardTypes": {
    "Kill": {
      "NPCs": {
        "Airfield": 3.0,
        "APCScientist": 3.0,
        "APCScientistHeavy": 3.0,
        "ArcticResearchBase": 3.0,
        "BanditTown": 3.0,
        "BotReSpawn": 1.0,
        "CargoShip": 3.0,
        "CompoundScientist": 3.0,
        "DesertScientist": 3.0,
        "DungeonScarecrow": 1.0,
        "Excavator": 3.0,
        "Gingerbread": 1.0,
        "HeavyScientist": 3.0,
        "JungleScientist": 3.0,
        "JunkPileScientist": 3.0,
        "LaunchSite": 3.0,
        "MilitaryTunnelScientist": 3.0,
        "MountedScientist": 3.0,
        "NuclearMissileSilo": 3.0,
        "OilRig": 3.0,
        "ScareCrow": 1.0,
        "Trainyard": 3.0,
        "TunnelDweller": 3.0,
        "UnderwaterDweller": 3.0,
        "ZombieHorde": 1.0
      },

I would insert "CustomPet" under "ZombieHorde" or anywhere in that config?

Now that I've had time to play around with the settings, I have some questions:

Is there a way to set up a list of clothing that can be chosen at random to spawn on the NPC's?
How can I edit the loot they drop? With BotReSpawn, you can use the loot of the "container" to spawn loot. Would AlphaLoot integration, setting up a config option to use the loot of the specified container, or an array that picks up at random be possible?

For example, BotRespawn's "Death" section for the NPC's:
 

      "Death": {
        "Spawn_Hackable_Death_Crate_Percent": 0,
        "Death_Crate_CustomLoot_Profile": "",
        "Death_Crate_LockDuration": 10,
        "Lock_Death_Crate_To_Killer_Player": false,
        "Corpse_Duration": 3,
        "Corpse_Has_Skull": true,
        "Skull_As_Loot": false,
        "Weapon_Drop_Percent": 5,
        "Min_Weapon_Drop_Condition_Percent": 50,
        "Max_Weapon_Drop_Condition_Percent": 100,
        "Wipe_Main_Percent": 100,
        "Wipe_Belt_Percent": 100,
        "Wipe_Clothing_Percent": 100,
        "Allow_Rust_Loot_Percent": 100,
        "Rust_Loot_Source": "Default NPC",
        "Remove_Vanilla_Scrap": true,
        "AlphaLoot_Profile": "",
        "RustRewardsValue": 0.0,
        "XPerienceValue": 0.0
      },

Lots of options there, including "Rust_Loot_Source", which in this case is set to "Default NPC" so basically the look you'd find on a junk pile scientist.

Yep it should work like that i think

unfortunately no such option atm, planned to be added later

you mean you want to give them some loot on spawn? these bots were designed to gather all loot by themselves on the map, however i think it would be nice to have an option to add loot from config, we'll add it in next update

Looking at using this on my personal server to simulator others playing. My question though is for the "Customizable behaviour: friendly, aggressive, defensive" setting is there an option for it to be random so some might spawn in friendly others aggressive and some defensive? And would this work with Better NPCs as that one adds npcs just to monuments. where as this one would be for adding roaming npcs

it was added in recent updates

should work since we are not limiting damage to other npcs. most probably config files of betternpc/npcspawn would need to be edited

When I want to select an AK from the inventory, it either doesn't work or disappears after 1-2 seconds.

maybe it's in blacklist from dropping on death?

You use a entity that Deathnotes didn't support at the time. I contacted the author of Deathnotes (Terceran/Mr. Blue) and he said that DeathNotes doesn't report death notes for "CustomPet" entity types.

He has now included it into his plugin so it is now fully compatible and reports the deaths caused by the RoamingNPCs

 

I am trying to get it to work with deathnotes but am not seeing that type in the config i tried adding it but it is not working

per a user on the death notes support page (https://umod.org/community/death-notes/57900-trying-to-config-death-notes-to-work-with-roaming-npc-plugin?page=1#post-2) he said "There is no separate CustomPet entity type in DeathNotes. Plugins that use a "CustomPet" fall under the CustomNPC entity type. For what it's worth, I using Roaming NPC on my server and it works great with DeathNotes. :-)"
