Have you thought about opening the source code of the mod if possible? I'd love to see if I could make a temporary fix for the NPCs despawning.

Hi, Is this multiplayer compatible?

@Male18
Too bad, I really liked the mod...

yes, this mod kills off npcs when you rejoin the world and you have to wait for them to come back. it's also outdated.

My Town NPC's have also started to despawn when joining the world. Also a bunch of other issues but im not sure if its this mod for specifically. Anyways if you're reading this its still an issue big sad.

that sucks

Well it's a possibility that this mod is discontinued.

NPCs keep having to respawn when the world is opened. Takes about an hour (IRL time) for them all to return. :(

I keep running into an issue with this mod where NPC's just disappear randomly when i open the world which gets frustrating at times

Could you please make unreleived (caught) NPCs invulnerable?

I'd like maybe an option to reset everything to Terraria defaults, if only for reference so I can make them only slightly stronger (or even weaker) more accurately... it's hard to find this information without digging pretty hard

Would love to blacklist/whitelist certain NPCs or at least just the Skeleton Merchant because he keeps spawning in my AFK farm

要更新啦

calm down eq. not everyone knows English that well

test, BASICALLY this mod aims to make the NPC's in your world act more tougher against enemies that can make them more reliable to protect you or themselves

would be nice if this had options to increase spawnrates and spawn conditions (letting them spawn at night or in evil biome)

read the mod's description, bro. or you can't read?

what does this mod do please reply in this thread

what does this mod do

we need a full feature list since there's no wiki

do i have to take my npcs out of my houses to make them roam around and fight, or they can get out the house themselves?

On loading a world, npc always get reverted to base health and need to be healed up.

This mod is conflicting with NExperience Mod, because NExperience Mod changes npcs health based on biome highest level, or toughest monster in the world.

I'd assume so. I don't t hink Calamity really touches NPC.

Can I use it with Calamity?

Nope it doesn't from my experience with it.

Does this mod remove the happiness requirements too? I've been looking for a mod that does that because it's really inconvenient to have to worry about how happy they are.

@diNkd thanks for the report, the latest version should have this issue fixed.

ayo did I just see 69?

Please update to the newest stable branch patch

Every time you load a world for the first time the NPCs have to heal all their "extra" health because they're spawned in with normal health. I thought it was a bug at first and it worried me.

Would just like to mention there have been some calculation changes for scaling, if numbers seem to be off you can restore default values in the config under Manage Mods' or in-game mod configuration.

insert scoot haunt pose

Awesome mod, In addition i want to ask SOMEONE for the sane mod that adds an ability to change Town Pets, so you wont need to kill them in case you got the one you dont like

Nice mod! In addition it might be interesting to make npcs not drownable (I tested with immune to traps and lava and it didn't prevent them from drowning )

okay, thank you

@Molten Sh4dow scaling only applies to the first kill of every boss, no stats are gained for consecutive kills.

Sorry if It is told somewhere, but I'm wondering what the boss scaling stats mean. If i have Base damage set to 20 and boss scaling to 10, does that mean killing a boss increases NPC damage to 30? Does it mean for every boss killed (you kill king slime however many times, it counts as 1, and then killing EoC however many times counts as 2 and so on), or EVERY boss killed (killing king slime 5 times counts as 5 boss scaling increases)

@Molten Sh4dow thanks for reporting this, apparently I forgot to apply the 50% effectiveness in non-master mode. Will be fixed in the next update.

Maybe im not reading something right, but if is have damage set to 20, and scaling set to +10, and im in expert mode, that means 10 base damage and +5 per boss kill, so why are my NPCs doing like 60 damage after ive killed only king slime, EoC, and EoW?

finally i can now keep the dogs and cats

Should be fixed btw if it breaks again may put on hold for a while

Alright thanks for the headsup :P
