1. Navigate to your Unturned files by going to your steam library, right clicking Unturned and browse local files.

2. Once you have navigated to your Unturned files go to "Bundles" and then "NPCs."

3. Now you should see 4 different folders labeled, "Characters, Dialogues, Quests and Vendors."

4. Open up the folder called "Character."

1. Once you have accessed the folder called "Characters" we can now begin the process of making NPC's!!! Characters is where you will design the looks and identity of your NPC.

2. Make a new folder and name it to whatever you would like. I recoommend something you would could easily determine what it is (like the name of your NPC).

3. Once you have made a brand new folder and named it; open up a folder of a pre-existing NPC. There should be two files within that folder, an Asset.dat and an English.dat file.

4.Copy both the Asset.dat and English.dat files. Then paste both those files in your newly made NPC folder. MAKE SURE YOU COPY AND PASTE, so then you don't remove those files from the pre-existing NPC.

5. Open up both the Asset.dat and English.dat. Here you will see a couple of items. In the Asset.dat you will see the coding or programming aspect of the NPC. The Asset.dat controls what your NPC will look like and what "path" it will take. For example what dialogue the NPC will use and what happens after it does so.
In the image above you can see what each thing in the Asset.dat files mean.

6. Edit the Asset.dat and give the NPC an unique GUID and ID that won't interfer with Nelson's or others work.

7. After the Asset.dat is filled out you can move onto the English.dat file. The English.dat is basically the details to your Asset.dat file. In this case it's the details about the "Character" or identity of your NPC.
In the image above you can see what each thing in the English.dat files mean.

8. Edit the English.dat completely

9. After completing BOTH the Asset.dat and English.dat files your NPC now has an identity and you may proceed to the next step in the NPC process; "Dialogue."

"Sit", "Stand", "Rest", "Prone", "Crouch", "Under_Arrest"

1. Go back to where you can see the four dfferent folders for the creation of NPC's; "Characters, Dialogues, Quests and Vendors."

2. Open up the folder called "Dialogues." Dialogues is where you will create the conversations that the players and NPC's will be having.

3. Make a new folder and name it to whatever you like. I recommend something easy that you'll know what it is (I also recommend naming it the same as what you named your "Character" folder).

4. Once you have made a brand new folder and named it; open up a folder of a pre-existing NPC. I recommned to use the NPC "Harry" because it is very simple. Inside the NPC "Harry" for example there will be another folder, most NPC's will have multiple folders in them, but "Harry" only has one.

5. There should be two files within that folder, an Asset.dat and an English.dat file just like seen before. Copy both the Asset.dat and English.dat files. Then paste both those files in your newly made NPC folder. MAKE SURE YOU COPY AND PASTE, so then you don't remove those files from the pre-existing NPC.

6. Open up both the Asset.dat and English.dat files. The following images will show you what each part of the Asset.dat and English.dat files mean.

***Above is the Asset.dat file***

***Above is the English.dat file***

7. Edit the Asset.dat and English.dat files. And after BOTH files are completed your NPC now has a "Dialogue" and should be able to carry out a conversation with a player. After completion you may proceed to the next step, which is making quests for your NPC to give to the players.

***If you want a response from a player to lead to another dialogue use Response_#_Dialogue (ID of dialogue)***

1. Go back to where you can see the four dfferent folders for the creation of NPC's; "Characters, Dialogues, Quests and Vendors."

2. Open up the folder called "Quests." Quests are where you will create the quests a player can receive from an NPC.

3. Make a new folder and name it to whatever you like. I recommend something easy that you'll know what it is (I also recommend naming it the same as what you named your "Character" and "Dialogue" folders or the name of the quest itself).

4. Once you have made a brand new folder and named it; open up a folder of a pre-existing NPC. I recommned to use the "Police_Doughnuts" which is a folder in "Quests" because it very easy to use and is very simple.

5. There should be two files within that folder, an Asset.dat and an English.dat file just like seen before. Copy both the Asset.dat and English.dat files. Then paste both those files in your newly made NPC folder. MAKE SURE YOU COPY AND PASTE, so then you don't remove those files from the pre-existing NPC.

The following images will show you what an Item Quest looks like:
***Above is the Asset.dat file***

***Above is the English.dat file***

6. Edit the Asset.dat and English.dat files. And after BOTH files are completed your NPC now has a "Quest", which will be given to a player. After completion you may proceed to the next step, which is making a shop (vendor) to offer to a player.

***Mind you that an NPC can have multiple conditions for a quest and they can be different conditions too!!!***

1. Go back to where you can see the four dfferent folders for the creation of NPC's; "Characters, Dialogues, Quests and Vendors."

2. Open up the folder called "Vendors." Vendors is where you will create the shop that the players will be offered by the NPC.

3. Make a new folder and name it to whatever you like. I recommend something easy that you'll know what it is (I also recommend naming it the same as what you named your "Character", "Dialogue" or "Quest" folders).

4. Once you have made a brand new folder and named it; open up a folder of a pre-existing NPC.

5. There should be two files within that folder, an Asset.dat and an English.dat file just like seen before. Copy both the Asset.dat and English.dat files. Then paste both those files in your newly made NPC folder. MAKE SURE YOU COPY AND PASTE, so then you don't remove those files from the pre-existing NPC.

6. Open up both the Asset.dat and English.dat files. The following images will show you what each part of the Asset.dat and English.dat files mean.

***Above is the Asset.dat file***

***Above is the English.dat file***

7. Edit the Asset.dat and English.dat files. And after BOTH files are completed your NPC now has a "Vendor", which is accessable to a player. After completion of the following, "Character", "Dialogue", "Quest", and "Vendor" files you should now have a functional NPC with all those features if you wish to do so.

***If you want a response from a player to lead to a vendor/shop use Response_#_Vendor (ID of vendor)***


If you want the NPC to sell a vehicle you must include:
Selling_#_Type Vehicle
Selling_#_ID {ID of vehicle}
Selling_#_Spawnpoint {name of the spawnpoint (set in the inspector) in the level to spawn at. The spawnpoint option can be found in the "Type Browser" in the Devkit and then named in the "Inspector" in the Devkit as well}.
Selling_#_Cost {Cost of vehicle)

1. Go to Bundles>>Items>>Supplies. Create an ASSEt (class v2) file. For example the contents will look similar to this:

"Metadata"
{
"GUID" "5150ca8f765d4a68bfe54912146da410"
"Type" "SDG.Unturned.ItemCurrencyAsset, Assembly-CSharp, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null"
}
"Asset"
{
"ValueFormat" "${0:N0} CAD"
"Entries"
[
{
"Item"
{
"GUID" "a89067f6a8694f02b2fd04989561b30c"
}
"Value" "1"
}
{
"Item"
{
"GUID" "1c7d632c79f4454fb1fba211cb5ab49b"
}
"Value" "2"
}

2. This file must have it's own unique GUID.

3. Here the Canadian Currency was used. Each item's coordinating GUID was used and the value was set. The first one in this example was the Loonie (one dollar currency) and it's value was set to one. You can also do this for custom currency as well.

4. After creating this file and setting values on currency you have to open up your vendor file of your NPC. Add the line Currency {then insert the GUID of the currency asset file} to your NPC Vendor Asset.dat
