Get your Custom NPCs right here folks!

Oh, didn't know that. I thought it wouldn't work due to id problems. Thanks, everyone!

 

nah it still works cause whatever editor you're using adjusts it's ID database or whatever to the height/size of the face.pbm
also please only add on 48 pixels to the height each time you extend face.pbm

 

I forgot that TSC commands became NPC's with last weeks update, man I'm getting so far behind now.

 

You can complete this request any time you want, I'm in no rush:
I would like an armored gaudi that disappears into smoke like any other normal npc, instead of changing into the squirming one on the ground. I tried changing the value that turns it to the dead gaudi to entity 0 and 4, but that just glitched the sprite. So if you can help, please do...
And if it's possible, can you make work with the flag that "activates event on death"?

|| Thanks. I was afraid to get rid of that code before, thinking it would break the npc.

If you NOP this block of code, it should work.

Spoiler

Don't forget to change Gaudi Armor's HP to something lower than 1000, though.

 

Hey, BLink, I'm sorry for the mixup, and this time it's a real NPC. Could you make the beta balrog enemies, that would be the best ever. Thanks regardless!

You're gonna have to be more specific. Give a clear example of what you want.

 

The balrog enemies from the beta, as in the ones that are smaller than the final, a bit bigger than the ma pigneon. They also will always walk towards the player, and can jump 3 blocks like the player. They also flutter their wings when going over gaps. Sorry if this is to hard.

I /might/ not be able to have it detect edges very well, but yes that's totally do-able.

I should have it ready Monday Tuesday-ish.

[edit]
Also, does the Balrog constantly move toward the player? How many walking frames does it have? Are the flying frames separate from the walking ones? how far away are they away from the player before they stop pursuing?

And do you have a spritesheet of it that I can use to grasp how big they are?

Also Kayya's request he PM'ed me about.

Refills Y health (for the player) every X ticks (X would NOT be modifiable in-game, but you can in the defines below) until Z frames have been hit.

You learn something new every day.


I've gotten at least half of your guys genders wrong.

Also if anyome missed, I edited in some questions for bio into my last post.

 

I expect to have a sprite set ready in a couple of days, because my friend is working on them. Also, he continuously follows you, and is pretty much a non boss and smaller version of the balrog from the power room, and hy he flies to the player via the easiest route.

Is that why I have felt so.... insecure lately?



But yeah, I'll do some, but I can't do much until that sheet is done really.

well, I could, but it would make life easy for me when it is.

 

Blink I think he meant that the mini balrog whatever follows you
just in case you weren't clear

 

Hey, once you finish being haunted by Bion's NPC, would you mind creating a seperate Ballos NPC that opens his eyes, but doesn't attack? I'm using him for cutscene purposes in my mod, and it bothers me that I have to cut him off the tick he opens his eyes (since if I don't he starts flying around at nothing like the senile old man that he is attacking). Of course, actually putting him into my game might require Assembly Hacking, and if it does, then let me know and don't make the NPC (because I don't want to touch that for a while).

Custom NPC = ASM Patch

You can't make personal NPC's any other way.
Applying a patch isn't that hard though, and you could probably use <SMP to fake animate, if you were crazy about avoidance.

 

Well, to be honest, saying 'I didn't want to touch it' was essentially a cover-up for 'I'm not an admin on my computer and therefore can't install it'. I'll probably install ASM (which I'm pretty sure is the acronym for Assembly Hacker) at some point, just not this point. And yeah, I'll look into the <SMP thing.

 

Uh no
Asm is the acronym for assembly
Use ollydbg

 

Oh

Just because I feel like mocking Bion your's will be ten times as easy, I'll do yours first.

First, you have to move Ballos to a Tileset, then you have to place and center the given NPC over where his eyes should be, then give them scriptstate 1.

It's a 4 frame animation, so you will have to reorganize your spritesheet to accomizate.


OR you can take the really lazy way out, use the code below, and make the NPC take up Ballos' entire size and do the animation that way. (and waste an entire spritesheet)
