New custom Npcs are possible

[studman0201]

put it in the same one but for a jedi use jediyourmodel

[Darth_Gamegod]

I imagine the npc file for a jangofett style character would be totally different than a jedi character, have you made up one for a jango style character?

[studman0201]

yes instead use styourmodel

or for a bowcaster use weequayyourmodel (enemy only)

or for a thermal use granyourmodel (enemy only)

or for a civilian type reaction under class change it to imperial when using an st person

[Darth_Gamegod]

yeah i used the setup you had in your original post for jango fett and it worked perfectly (although he was a bit easy to kill) but hell, it worked. Only thing is, he dosent chase you or anything, he just stands there and opens fire like mad.

[studman0201]

He doesn't move unless the map is built with npc waypoints so he usually sits there

[Darth_Gamegod]

is it possible to edit a map and put npc waypoints into it? like a multiplayer map or something.

[studman0201]

I beleive so ask in the mapping thread tho. Cuz you will need to get the .map file from the maker to do so

[Darth_Gamegod]

ok im experimenting with Radient, its pretty complicated and hard to use, but ill figure it out..

 

 

How about adding sounds to the new npc's i imagine you can do it, just wondering how?

[pud1]

I'm having trouble

my models have stormtrooper skins and half the jedi i make dont have lit lightsabers what am i doing wrong?

 

maybe explain it to me little more detail?

[ihavedirt]

pud1,

 

dont forget to look at the older thread (http://64.246.44.70/~lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=66494) that has a few different examples and lots of posts with the codes in them also.

 

stormtrooper skins result in the model directory being called/referenced incorrectly i think

 

i also had the unignited saber problem.

 

basically, at the moment this is what i have

 

ext_data\customnpcs.npc

 

this contains references for all the new npc im using

 

basically, within that, i have for example

 

jediben_kenobe

{

saberColor yellow

aggression 3

runSpeed 200

yawspeed 120

dismemberProbHead 0

dismemberProbArms 0

dismemberProbHands 0

dismemberProbLegs 0

dismemberProbWaist 0

}

 

these examples have incorrect sounds and arent totally realistic but its something i just chucked in quickly as a test.

 

with the jedi, you will notice that i have an old obi wan skin/model that im using. make sure that all references to this player are the same. that also means checking the .skin files reference your newly renamed model as well. hopefully that makes sense. and the same with the stboba_fett

 

so model_default.skin is something you are likely to have to edit as well as any shaders etc

 

there is possibly an easier way to do the .npc file but i find that if you have a prefix in front of everything (model dir, player name etc) then its much easier if someone is reading through the npc file to know whats going on. ie, you will have a list of all jedi, st, weequay, reborn etc

 

hope that helps

I found another thing you can do.

 

granboxeryourmodel = makes that model punch.

 

Heh, I found a nice looking model yesterday and made a NPC of it. But, the reason why I posted the info here is cause it is......JAR JAR!!! Now we can spawn him, torcher him...... He even has his annoying sounds!! Get it at http://www.jk2files.com and http://www.jediknightii.net !!!!

Ok, so I have done everything that was told to do to create a custom npc. I downloaded the older Mace Windu Skin and tried ot create him as a custom npc. When I get into the game, I type npc spawn jediwindu and it spawns a stormtrooper with a lightsaber. Why will it not show mace windu in the game?

[-Chrono_MOT-]

download my jedi pack as soon as jk2 puts it up.

 

and to do it yourself, go into the pk3 and look at his SKIN file for model_default (like it says above).

 

Any directory that says "windu", "ep2windu", etc...rename it to jediwindu. That should fix your problem.

How do u look at stuff....or extract files out of a pk3, maybe thats why i am doing this wrong?

 

I think i just need 1 pk3 to download that changes everything i need done, b/c i still hardly understand and have read both threads

[drjimmy515]

Interesting, studman. Better than testing every possible combo. Now ask him about class editing

[drjimmy515]

Neat, using the shadowtrooper prefix solves that problem I described in the older thread with shadowtrooper class npcs dropping rgb wireframes when killed. They drop normal forcegems now This custom npc style looks really cool with the MGS ninja, as he can cloak and de-cloak...

[studman0201]

Shadow trooper custom npc's cloak. that is awesome. I gotta try that out

[pud1]

Ok i finally got my qui-gon jedi npc model out there instead of stormtrooper i had to extract the qui-gon skin files into a folder and extract the npcs.cfg from assets0.pk3 and put em in the folder and rename the folder JediQui-Gon

I also have made a new folder in the base dir called ext_data and put my newnpcs.npc file there.

 

But now i got qui-gon fighting with no lightsaber

it's in his crotch hehee

and i dont remember how to corect that?

 

edit: ok i didnt need to extract assets0pk3 file called npcs.cfg to my qui-gon folder, so i took it out!

 

Still got his saber in his crotch!! pls help

[studman0201]

Has anybody tried a npc with the protocol or droid animations??

[pud1]

oooooook

 

finally screwed around with the newnpcs.npc file and got his lightsaber out of his crotch and into his hand but now the saber is not ignited

 

Anyone know?

Does the model path need to be shadowtrooperyourmodel or just rebornyourmodel with the class being shadowtrooper

[drjimmy515]

Both the model path and class have to be set to shadowtrooper - if you use reborn with shadowtrooper class the forcegem will just be a wireframe.
