maybe it's my lack of understanding for the engine, but i dont understand this.

 

Is there something that each list has in common?

Hi Polymo,

 

Just a few questions:

 

1: What are you  trying to achieve?

2: Could it be that the NPCs are located in a different map?

3: Seen that version 0.9.0.0, they could it be that they are unfinished NPC's that were not fully implemented?

I'm playing around the the NPC_ADD. Some Npc's appear, others crash with pure virtual call error, so i think 3 could be the reason

Also there are some that are time triggered (exaphne Bunskoek) and some that are quest triggered (spawned through the chat with another npc).

though they would still have to be spawned by the server somehow.

this is strange:

there is this field, i found that gets fed into the Resource loading, so i put an npc id in it the selected is what comes out:

[url=]'>[/url]

 

But then i found another, and when i put in the same number it sometimes crashes, sometimes does nothing, but most of the time a wholly different NPc comes out (with both ids, the second wins):

[url=]'>[/url]

that even has a name and clothes.

As there seem to be no fields for equipment, i guess this is the way to get npcs by using some kind of "template". But i can absolutely see no pattern there.

The strangest thing even is that for both npcs (event the one -with- the name) i get theses errors:

 

<4> [2014-09-25 19:23:28, SB/Core] Warning: NPC_CharacterPawn PT_Hawksmouth.NPC_CharacterPawn (Function SBGame.Game_NPCPawn.cl_GetPrimaryDisplayName:0015) Accessed None 'NPCType'

<4> [2014-09-25 19:23:28, SB/Core] Warning: NPC_CharacterPawn PT_Hawksmouth.NPC_CharacterPawn (Function SBGame.Game_NPCPawn.cl_GetSecondaryDisplayName:0015) Accessed None 'NPCType'

 

how can there be no npctype when there are even two in one, or am i misreading this?

 

Edit: i forgot to mention: this may not be the best example of an npc for the first one as that can also have armor depending on the id, the only real visible difference is the first one has no name (if using the same id, which does sometimes just crash the game).

i think i have an idea. It has something to do with shiftableappearance. And from what i could find on the internet, you could shift into another form + and that is the thing ->be that forms faction too, is that correct?

Hey Polymo,

 

As normal player there is indeed a shapeshifter class, depending on the level it could change into some other shapes like a plant, ousted, wolf and vhuul (Bird like shape).

 

I don't remember the NPC's having a shapeshifter function as well, they were just visible and present on the locations or doing their walk through the map.

As far Acid and I saw this walking info is available in the map files.

 

Greetings Jan-Willem.

Just a little reminder:

The shapeshifter plant in palace district, the haystack in aldenvault, the and everyone in Desolate in the quest where you turn into a vhuul to get into a cave.

Do you have an idea what could explain those 2 fields? (the latter is followed by one for faction, so it seems to be reasonable that this is important)
