is there a way to turn the npcs off without uninstalling or disabling the mod?

how do i override what an npc spawns? i wish to use a vj npcs for citizen gang police etc, but it still spawns default npcs

i love this mod spent alot of time using it and stuff but i thought if maybe it would be possible to add some kind of setting to make the police act more like combine from hl2 i think that would be a really cool for hl2 rp or something like that, but it is still a awsome mod:demoticon:

how do the thieves work?
StupidStuff 23 Jun @ 1:46pm 
Yup, it's just the same car as before, idk why it's just not working properly for me
StupidStuff 23 Jun @ 1:43pm 
I'm gonna try out a few maps and see if it fixes it or not, if its the same on every map I try, then I'll just do the cars myself
This does not happen if you just use the dv ai without bkgnpcs, it's not as immersive but it gurantees different vehicles each time
Either It's dependent on the map you are playing, smaller maps likely default to a vehicle that can barely drive safely or there is a new compatibility issue with bkgnpcs & dv preventing them from appearing in different vehicles
StupidStuff 23 Jun @ 12:22am 
When using the DV addon, the cars that spawn in are only using 1 car, I don't know if I'm missing a setting or something, and I can't really find anything online so any help would be great
Ensure that whatever types you want to spawn CAN spawn, you can't just change the top variable you also need to change the slide variable of each background npc class to something higher than 1. Check their spawn radiuses too

why arent npcs spawning anymore
what 21 Jun @ 3:02am 
why doesn't the wanted mode work? I've enabled it, and disabled all other addons.
Or using the extended ai navigation addon works if it's gonna piss you off waiting awhile- https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3048721100
Then do nav_save, or you'll have to do this every single time. I do not recommend doing this on very big maps without navmeshes, it can take hours.
If that's the case, you'll want to use the dev console with sv_cheats enabled. Make a navmesh automatically using nav_generate, it's going to lag a fucking lot on lower end pcs.

Umm... But i don´t understand how to use the Navmesh Editor
I had issues with that also, the best options are use HE & modify the map yourself with a navmesh or use Easy Navmesh Editor
Srpatata 18 Jun @ 4:21pm 
I followed the tutorial but the point editor doesn't work and even though I already traced a path, the NPCs mostly move where they want.

хороший адонн :steamthumbsup:

nevermind when i uninstalled an npc falling mod it stopped
jwchav97 15 Jun @ 10:51am 
everytime the npcs spawn in cars, they instantly die
kiriyascha 15 Jun @ 7:36am 
отличный мод

I don't understand where your problems are coming from. Most high-load methods are executed asynchronously between frames, not once per frame. Disable automatic mesh generation in the settings, maybe that will help.
[FG] Shark_vil  [author] 14 Jun @ 8:55am 
The addon lags so much that everything works fine for me with 200 NPCs.
I use Arch, btw 14 Jun @ 4:21am 
I love this mod but its terrible optimized
Deadmau5UltraAnimals 14 Jun @ 4:06am 
this is great but the issue is my ryzen 7 PC which hates this mod for some reason. Even turning settings to low doesnt help. Any ideas what could be the issue?
Scorp 10 Jun @ 9:18am 
My issue that I posted about earlier seems to have gone away, no idea why. It might've been another addon that was causing it as when I disabled this addon spawed NPCs were still flying around
tony-tizzle 10 Jun @ 7:56am 
Why are the npcs spinning into the air and playing some weird sound? Can anyone help?
Jerru Make sure they're allowed to spawn in & enable the types you want to be able to spawn, I advise you play on a map that has a navmesh & node graph, if this isn't solving it you will need to investigate it yourself
Scorp 10 Jun @ 7:23am 
The NPCs that spawned in are spinning, flying around and playing random music. I don't even know what to say, what is this shit?
[IWIN].Jerru.Freakman 10 Jun @ 7:02am 
The NPCs that should be filling the world aren't filling the world. Not sure what is causing the NPCs not to spawn, anyone got any idea? :steamthumbsdown::evilhappypumpkin:

MADMAN SOLDIER 26 May @ 12:17pm

poenguin 25 May @ 1:24pm

[FG] Shark_vil  [author] 25 May @ 1:22pm

poenguin 25 May @ 12:35pm
