I downloaded the mod and am trying to use it, but it doesn't give me the menu option for the NPC. I don't think it's due to the Simple UI library dependency, because I always download it. What could be the problem?

New user here pardon the stoner brain if someone else asked and solved this but, is there a line or option to put as one of the choices to send the reader back to the default text that opens up? Trying to set the convo up as where they have options to go back to previous topics without having to restart the whole interaction to help ease breaking immersion. It's easily done with the lines we can create since we just type what we created, but I can't find what to put if anything exists for the "main menu" choice before all the branches start.

Guys! Consider that the players can't use interaction dialogue when you're setting the NPC interaction to a dummy tile. Instead what you can do is to set the interaction dialogue on the floor under the dummy

@Horned One Yeah I get the same. you ever find a fix?

Unsubscribed and again downloaded simple ui and this and still nothing

@Bergi make sure you download the required dependency listed above

@AsterixChaos @HornedOne Noone except admins can right click inside a safezone, your NPCs can't be placed in safezones

Hi unfortunately it doesn't work for me error when trying to configure npc
AsterixChaos 29 Jul, 2024 @ 2:01pm 
@Horned One: When it's only your admins able to interact with NPC's, are they inside a safe zone?
Horned One 14 Jul, 2024 @ 12:44pm 
for some reasons only admins seem to be able to use most of the NPC's I've made.
Horned One 10 May, 2024 @ 10:55am 
Hey Buffy, is it still possible to edit the images of the NPC's?
Horned One 26 Apr, 2024 @ 1:44pm 
Thi sis my favorite mod pls never let it die

This looks promising! If it has some effect like boredom reduction, that would totally changed how we play this game! Is that possible in this mod?

@Sightless Does Shift+Enter work to create a new line?

@Thiago In a new mod following the same folder path structure as the ones that come with it.
ThiagoCormac 16 Jan, 2024 @ 10:25am 
Help! Where I should place the images for the portraits?
The Sightless Swordsman 11 Jan, 2024 @ 2:22pm 
Is it possible to get multiple paragraphs per entry? I want to make multiple paragraphs but, of course, enter just saves it instead of creating a new line.

i love this mod, its very well done and the interaction menu looks so good its like its part of the game, i've got one problem though. i tried the mod out with a friend and i couldn't interact with an NPC that he made (the interaction prompt didn't show up at all) when i was a normal player, but once he gave me an admin role i could interact with it, any idea how to change this? are we doing something wrong?

UattO 15 Sep, 2023 @ 10:38am 
Hi, another question, is there any limit for npc's images pixels?
I' m trying to make an addon for this mod with more portraits but for some reason they does not work
UattO 13 Sep, 2023 @ 8:17pm 
Hi buffy, thank yoy for your wonderful mods!
I have an issue with this mod, something happening just to me in my server, other admins never trig the same error, i tried everything to solve it, last thing i reinstalled the game but the bug remains:
When i click on a tile, in a dedicated server, the options to create an npc are duplicated, if i click an option to create the npc it give me an error about mod's images and the menu doesn't bring up.
Any advices? I have no more ideas to solve it :(
Mini Evilness 3 Aug, 2023 @ 1:24pm 
@buffy Okay, I will check that out. Thank you for your time :)
buffy  [author] 25 Jul, 2023 @ 12:27pm 
If the menu doesn't open, you don't have simple UI library loaded.
Mini Evilness 15 Jul, 2023 @ 7:36am 
@buffy Yes, I do. Idk what could be wrong.Prob "user error" as I pretty new to modding my server lol.
buffy  [author] 24 Jun, 2023 @ 9:27am 
@Mini Make sure you have the required Simple UI Library mod loaded.
Mini Evilness 22 Jun, 2023 @ 8:00am 
Won't bring up the menu- Gives me error :(

@Holy_Gray_Knight this is a mod that adds in npcs both friendly and hostile--------------------> https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2980672778

oh i was hoping to have npc in the solo, i mean online there's another players, i would'nt need the company of npc but, offline i would.
Lacky 10 May, 2023 @ 2:04pm 
Just thought I'd let you know, had an NPC on a tile (The floor itself was the NPC) and the grime covering the tile was causing issues for player trying to interact. For some reason only admins could see the option to talk, removing grime on the tile fixed the issue for normal players.
Lacky 10 May, 2023 @ 1:10pm 
Loving the mod so far, but I can't work out how to upload additional portraits for NPC's. The path doesn't exist on the server console and making it doesn't seem to help.
Praised 23 Mar, 2023 @ 4:11am 
Why when I try to do the system with the Maniqui the people can't see the option to talk? Only in TV and pc :(
kyasvpa 11 Mar, 2023 @ 11:24am 
Amelia watson on the thumbnail, can tell it will be a great mod
ChaosKillerX7 9 Mar, 2023 @ 2:31pm 
Cool little bug: If you accidentally open two of the interact windows, the second one you can close but you cannot close the first unless you relog.
buffy  [author] 9 Mar, 2023 @ 4:01am 
Thanks for helping me test! It looked like some fields weren't set to transmit mod data, so I've moved the transmission to a dedicated save button to avoid any further headaches.

Please let me know if after unsubbing -> resubbing you have any further issues! :)
Redfield's asscheeck 8 Mar, 2023 @ 10:55pm 
sure, i added you on my friend list, we can work toguether and u can see the mod logs to find the problem
buffy  [author] 8 Mar, 2023 @ 10:47pm 
I'll continue to investigate the issue you're facing to see what it might be. Feel free to add me if you want to help me diagnose it on your server.
Redfield's asscheeck 8 Mar, 2023 @ 6:50pm 
Hi buffy, just for feedback: When creating a NPC succesfully other players cannot see the interact option, also when leaving the area still dissapearing like is being saved in a client-side instead server-sided is what we thought. Thanks for all the work you're doing! :D

I've pushed what I believe to be the fix to this issue. Make sure to unsubscribe -> resubscribe with the game closed to make sure you get this update and don't lose anymore progress!

A good habit when importing NPCs is to hit enter on an entry box to make sure the changes are saved as well.
buffy  [author] 8 Mar, 2023 @ 10:26am 
I'll look into this!
TheGeoFork 8 Mar, 2023 @ 12:59am 
Now this opens tons of possibilities
CapitanJusticia 8 Mar, 2023 @ 12:11am 
Congratulations for the idea of ​​the mod, it's what we allways needed!!!

We were testing last night. We have found that once you program an NPC, if you exit the clunch where it is placed , if no other player is present on the clunch, when you re-enter the zone, the context menu disappears (as if reload before programming the NPC).
Redfield's asscheeck 7 Mar, 2023 @ 4:01pm 
Amazing mod I'm now testing in my server, but for some reason after a few minutes the Interact option dissapears from the object and require to set it again, tried more times saving with Enter in every field and saving it and eventually will just dissapear... What could I do in this situation? Thanks:steamhappy:
