Zappa_0 Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Hello, I am having problems making NPC's. I have tried it two ways: 1) Using notepad and adding what needs to be added and save it as a .npc file. 2) the NPC editor. Both ways leads to cannot spawn file. I was wondering if someone can help me with this, its really bugging me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chairwalker Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 Im not 100% sure, but i think you shouldnt have a space in the npc name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chairwalker Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 Well there doesnt seem to be anything wrong with that npc file... Maybe you havent zipped it up correctly.. does your pk3 file have the correct directory structure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa_0 Posted March 29, 2004 Author Share Posted March 29, 2004 Yea thats the wierd thing about it, everything I believe is correct. But still wont work in game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa_0 Posted April 10, 2004 Author Share Posted April 10, 2004 So anybody got any ideas why my custom npcs wont load in game? I would really like to try to figure out the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteShdw Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 My experience with this issue is that 99.9% of the people that have this error either, put the npc file in the wrong directory or they pk3 it wrong or they just don't know how to properly spawn an NPC. Looking at your NPC code, there don't seem to be any errors except for the fact that i don't see a } at the end, but that's probably just a copy & paste error. Also, that yodaghost playermodel doesn't seem familiar, so I'm thinking it's just some skin you downloaded somewhere. So all I can say is make sure that you put your NPC in the ext_date/npcs directory in the base dir. Also consider that if you're trying to spawn in Multiplayer you might need to pack it into a pk3, INCLUDING the appropriate directory structure(ext_data/npcs). If you're running it in Single Player, pk3'ing it is not necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durocha Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 This is just a shot in the dark here, but ... are you saving it as a .npc file or ... a .txt.npc file. I've been trying to help people make their own little npc replacements and I've discovered they couldn't change extension because, well, they couldn't see them. Find your folder options, either by the tools menu on top of any opened folder or in your control panel. Once there, go to the "view" tab on top and find an option called "hide extensions for know file typed" and make sure it's UNCHECKED. Now try making your .txt into a .npc. Again, this is just something I've come across before and thought I'd try to help here. Edit: Eh, I just re-read what you said and I ... suppose my help isn't going to, well, help. Sorry about that.
