Roaming NPCs 0.5.2

Hi, I have a suggestion would it be possible to add a blacklist for item short names an skin id 's to prevent bob and the boys from finding legendary   items  . Thanks

for now you can use "Limits on the amount of gathered items", it blocks looting by shortname

Hey,
 

All is great at the moment, I have notes to make them tier 1 to tier 2 etc after a period of time (manually).

I have 2 questions:
1. Is there a way that they cannot see in the dark and must use a torch or something? Just like real players?

2. Have a missed something in the config where the patrol will also aggro on them?

Thanks!

interesting, we'll check what we can do about it

no there is no setting for it, we'll also check this moment

Question. Is there a config option to prevent them from spawning with DLC items?  I see the lumberjack hazmat on one, chance of drop is 0, and enable chance of drop on death is false, yet players can loot the lumberjack hazmat. That makes it a violation of Steams TOS

That would make it against TOS to wear another players kit after you killed them.

just remove it from config instead of making drop chance 0

I have modified the RoamingNPCs.cs file to change the default bot behaviour and add some new ones.  I save the file and try /rnpc init as per the documentation, but nothing happens.  It still runs the default 4 starting bots.

What am I missing?

Update to the above, from some deeper diving it seems like you have to update the RoamingNPCs.json file instead.  So I restored a fresh cs file and edited the json this time.  Just as a quick test I made the two default defensive bots aggressive, saved the file and ran init again.  They are still defensive.  I don't know how to make this relaunch updated bots.

I had same issue at first, found out I needed to actually reload the plugin (carbon.reload RoamingNPCs in console, if you're on carbon) for config changes to be reflected live.
