NPC Weapons

[Stan_Tencza]

Hey folks,

 

I'm trying to change the weapon that an NPC carries. For example, I'm trying to have Reelo Baruk carry a repeater instead of the dinky blaster rifle.

 

I thought about changing something in the NPCS.CFG but that didn't work. Is there another file to edit, or how do I do this?

As far as I know, creating a new npc with a repeater (or certain other weapons for that matter) isn't possible. Similarly, you can't change Reelo's weapon to a repeater just by editing the npcs.cfg. Perhaps a crossbow or flechette using the proper prefixes, but then he might not spawn correctly in the game.

(A lot of people seem to be having similar problems... this thread really needs to be sticky...)

 

Maybe editing the game's scripts to get him to use a repeater when you meet him in Nar Shadaa might be possible, but not as a regular spawnable npc.

It's absolutly possible and extremely easy to do. Follow my tutorial in the mapping thread about it, it's a sticky thread.

Sure.
