What is it?
This is a simple addon that will spawn NPCs on the map and make them move around pre-set points. Can work without NAV mesh.



Does this load the system?
In most cases, this does not load the system, since NPCs spawn only within the player's line of sight, and are destroyed when the player is far away.



What is there?
There are several types of NPCs:

NPCs can move along predetermined movement points. In case of danger, they can try to run away, hide, scream in horror, or repulse the enemy. Sometimes they talk to each other and do other things. Over time, the list of events will expand.



Documentation?
While the documentation is under development, it will be updated over time.

I want more models!
Download sources and change configuration files. An example of how this can be done:

The Decent Vehicle support for Background NPCs is a bit iffy and all with some vehicles spawning simultaneously even in the player's close line of sight. Also one of the major concerns I have with this is the fact that the vehicles tend to spawn in places where they can't move at all. Solution, maybe?

How do i get rid of the red glow on npcs and the strange man in my attic?
z 17 Aug @ 12:40am 
is there any way to lower the spawn rate or the maximum amount of npcs that can spawn because it kinda lags

@markjr331, Disable all mods except this one and slib. If it works, then there is a conflict of mods.
