Someone please host it for me cuz the page is down.

 

Give me ur e-mail and I will send it to you, just be sure to host it

Oh ya and to use it chose the NPC_spawner entity and assign for NPC_type the name of your new npc.

 

This file adds the NPC_spawner entity which was removed by raven for some odd reason

Son of a BITCH! It only works for JK2Radiant! Anyone know how to get GTKRad to recognize these?? There's no way I can stand making a level with such a ****ty editor...No use for new NPCs if Radiant crashes all the time and randomly deletes your entities and level.

Mm, no, I fixed that, I accidentally clicked on Galak or something like that, it changed to NPC_galak instead of spawner.

 

Ok, but another problem...The NPC can be spawned when you have it in your base\ext_data folder, but once you put it in a PK3 and use it as a mod, it doesn't work! What the hell??

I'm going to start writing up a guide that will walk you through the steps of getting NEW NPCs into the game and setting weapons via ICARUS (best choice). I'll make a new thread on the forum about it, and hopefully it'll get stickied.

Just curious... why don't you just change the models for the existing NPCs?

 

I made a stormtrooper into a clonetrooper and galak into jango fett for a level I'm working on by.. you guessed it.. adding models in the appropriate directories (in the mod) and changing the NPCs.cfg to reflect changes...

 

Why is this so hard? I just don't get why adding completely new NPCs is necessary unless you want to have over 40 types of NPCs in your mod, which I doubt will happen any time soon.

if you have 10 pk3s (Maps with custom models) on your system and every one replaces a stormtrooper with a different custom model, you'll have crossing npc-configuration files. If maker of map one wants you to encounter wookies instead of the common stormtrooper model and maker of map two wants you to encounter a trandoshan instead of the stormie, you would have a problem, since jko will only replace the stormtrooper with one of both models, no matter which of the two maps you play.

That's why SP level makers should set up their levels to run as MODs.In addition to being a lot more professional (put in folder, run game, go to Mod menu and select - as opposed to bringing down console and typing in a command), it also eliminates this problem entirely, as it does not replace game files (only when the mod is active).

that's odd emon... i got it working in gtk right away... just dropped it in and it worked.

 

now what is weird... i'm using han solo and he DOESN'T HAVE ANY EYES or MOUTH!

 

wtf is up with that... and yes the model does have the 3d eyes and mouth textures and does point to them correctly. yet when he spawns in... no eyes, no mouth. weird huh?

 

edit:

just in case you didn't get it up Emon
