Frequently Asked Questions
NPCs are spawning around, how to disable?
- Spawnmenu -> Options -> WeTools -> Notoriety (Admin\Client)
- Scroll down and you can tick off "Enable Wandering NPCs"

How do I make my own faction?
- Spawnmenu -> Options -> WeTools -> Notoriety (Admin) -> Create New faction
- There are several help buttons throughout the panel that will explain mostly everything in the section.

What are SM NPCs in this mod?
- SM NPCs are spawned with random bodygroups/skins and keyvalues set based from the spawnMenu. So if your npc has bodygroups/skins its best you use this to add/edit unto your faction

What are VIPs in this mod?
- One of the ways to wipe out notoriety is by killing VIPs at a certain amount of times. VIPs can be set in the faction creation menu

Nothing is spawning / no stars
- Make sure you even subscribed and enabled my mod
- Make sure enable notoriety is enabled (Checked at Spawnmenu -> Options -> WeTools -> Notoriety (Admin)).
- If you don't see anything in the faction list when you go to Spawnmenu -> Options -> WeTools -> Notoriety (Admin), Select the "default" preset then Load it.
- If you do not see NPCs spawning, even if you are sure that you have nodes, RESTART THE MAP AGAIN (just once).
- Kill Wandering NPCs
- Kill enough of npc on a single faction

Do I need nodes/navmeshes in the map to work?
- Nodes are needed as spawning is dependent on these.
- Navmeshes are needed only if you will be using VJ npcs in your factions, as they use navmeshes to move around.

If there are 5 factions, is it possible to have notoriety in all of them?
- for performance reasons, I decided to let only one faction be active at a time.
- You should have no stars first if you want a certain faction to mark you as wanted. (i.e. Combine faction hates you, killing zombies won't trigger the zombie faction)

My npcs looks weird sometimes when spawned (missing limbs, no texture, headless etc)
- For this exact situation where this happens (like the npc Female Zombie of VJ NPCS in left 4 dead, zombies tend to have random limbs gone) do this:

In the Faction creation menu, try adding only the classname of the npc (without SM_).
If you are adding the npc, browse for the npc (Female Zombie), then once it fills out the npc classname field, remove "SM_" then add it to the respective star level. It should work!

The NPCs spawned in my custom faction is not doing any damage! (or maybe something is wrong when they attack)
- Spawnmenu -> Options -> WeTools -> Notoriety (Admin\Client) -> Double-Click your faction in the list
- In the Faction Creation Window, open "More settings" in the left, This has an option that sets the damage scale of the faction and is probably set to very low.

I want to change config but that certain config is greyed out!
- You will have to clear out your notoriety first before you could make changes.

I didn't kill any wandering NPCs, but the other npcs did. Why are they attacking me?
- You probably spawned the NPC who threatened them.

I want to know where my preset files go
- You can see it in common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\data\wenot\presets
- Feel free to share yours here!

Can I copy codes and make/upload mods similar to this? I wanna make my own version
- If you don't mind my novice coding/structure. Sure go ahead! I wanted to market this idea to the community. (Crediting me would be appreciate it though :3)

Whos Wipey
- A custom NPC dog that if it is killed, Notoriety gets wiped.
- This NPC was used before on the default factions as a way to wipe notoriety before the VIP update
