    npcx - The NPC eXtender
    Version: 0.0.31

    UPDATE: mixxit has took the initiative to update the npclib to 1.8, all credit for this update goes to him! it should work on any 1.8 version of craftbukkit

    If you are having trouble, please read the old thread here and the included readme.txt that mixxit left. If you know of any other tutorials, do post and I'll add them.

    Info Update: Well long story short I am beginning to get bored of Minecraft and I don't have as much time as I would like to develop this plugin. This probably means that the rewrite I had planned is just going to die. Besides lack of time and motivation, I find it extremely pointless to write an API for NPCs outside of bukkit/craftbukkit, which makes the rewrite I was working on very frustrating. However, I will continue to update mixxit's code for new versions of minecraft, but don't expect any new features or anything.
    Update 2: As NPCs are being planned natively for 1.8 (the adventure update), I will probably be working on a (separate) plugin or directly with the NPC API if I have time.

    Note: If you have iConomy, make sure you have at least version 5+ or you'll get an error like this.
    Code:
    [SEVERE] Could not pass event WHATEVER_EVENT to npcx
    java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/iConomy/iConomy
    You should also be able to add "use-iConomy=false" in the npcx properties file.

    If you're having trouble installing MySql on windows, here's a nice guide: http://forums.bukkit.org/posts/293544, thanks to Atticus Craft. Basic WAMP/LAMP/MAMP servers should work fine too, just make sure you have the username/password correct and the database with permissions to the right user.

    Features:
    • You can create npcs
    • And they do stuff
    • Everything should work like it did in mixxit's last version
    And by "work like it did" I mean I have no clue if there were bugs from then, but they're probably still around now. Please report any you find so I can take them into consideration.

    They follow these exact instructions. So everything should be typed in properly (unless its different in 101). Along with that, I have 101 in my plugins folder and so do they. So when they try to connect on localhost:25565, that error occurs. The port specified (1440) is open on my end.

    i loged in and all my npcs are looking at the floor, the shop keeper has even turned away from his window

    its asthetic thing i know but its wierd that all my npcs have suddenly become depressed at once, anything i can do to cheer them up?

    also tried to set a patrol route for one guard, he kinda got stuck on the first waypoint even though it was fully flat ground and just walked foward and backward on in a 4 block radius of it

    Chocolate should cheer them up and...rofl that's pretty funny actually. Either they loaded like that (meaning that the values in the database are like that), or they saw something below them for a second and then forgot to look back up. If you get their attention (hit them, talk to them, etc), do they keep looking up or do they look back down when they lose target?

    As for the patrol route...all I can say is try resetting the pathgroup or remaking it altogether.

    Looks like one of the rows in the spawngroup_entries table is referencing an id on the spawngroup table that doesn't exist.

    Any chances to make this plugin without mysql? (Like for example for flatfile or something...? How the hell I'm suppose to get mysql for dedicated MC server that have access only via FTP and control panel D: ? ) or maybe an SQLite that would work on the current bukkit server without any additional servers?

    You have to edit the database directly. In one of the players tables the standing which each faction is stored. If a player's standing with a faction is below -1000, they will be attacked on sight.
    You sure you are using the correct versions of npcx and craftbukkit? (0.0.1 is only compatible with certain builds etc, check first post)

    That happened to me when I let my mouse scroll down while i was getting ready to create my spawngroup. Now I make sure i'm looking where I want the NPC to look when I do it.

    Uh, pages? it can't show everything at once or your chatbox will be flooded. As for civ, I've disabled the command but if you're smart you can add it to the plugin.yml.

    Uh, try reading the original post and the readme.
    It should default to not using it if it's not installed but:
    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19043477/npcx.jar
    Add "use-iConomy=false" to your npcx.properties file.


    Also I updated the main post with some info.

    @wizjany I am interested in picking up wherever you left off with the rewrite... I don't know if much will come from it, I'm already rather busy, but I do really want a newer version of this plugin, and if that requires I do it (time permitting) then so be it.

    I don't know how far you got, but anything you can provide would be awesome. And like I said, I make no promises as to whether or not I'll finish :) but I figure if you aren't gonna move forward on it, I may as well attempt it.

    wizjany

    They apparently need a name now. Just add one last argument at the end with whatever you want.
    Could have sworn it was. Have you tried adding a number at the end of the line? Have you read everything the merchant was saying to make sure that they have all the items at least?
    Feel free to dig in.

    Yes.. I've added a number at the end of the line, and yes I've read everything.. but it really has 8 Stacks.. i've putted 25..

    Ok....
    Using build 818 these npcs are really glitching up the place. They follow you backwards. Their head is on backwards. NPCs are ignoring God Mode. During combat, npcs arn't taking damage. At all. Can't equip. When attempted to equip any item, the environment around the npc becomes buggy.

    The best part? Its not tracing any errors in the log. This is all I am able to tell you.
     
  30. Offline

    wizjany

    Hm, when you say 8 stacks do you mean 8 different entries for them to buy/sell? Have you checked the database to make sure they're all there?

    I can't reproduce this.
    Known issue, it's been around forever. They don't actually deal damage, they just swing their arm and the plugin sets your health. Fixing this would require the plugin to hook into a million other plugins that might provide godmode.
    I can't reproduce this.
    I love it when people say "stuff" is "buggy". Also those complete sentences like "can't equip." are so descriptive it makes me want to cry.

    Make sure you are using the version of craftbukkit that matches the version of npcx designed for it (see first post).

    I'm having a really tough time with this mod and MySQL. I'm almost 90% sure it's to do with MySQL, but this issue is occurring on 2 separate MySQL servers (A Godaddy one and an Adelais one), which tells me otherwise. This issue does NOT occur on other plugins using MySQL (iConomy, BigBrother). I doubt it's a confliction, because this happens without any other mods installed as well.


    What is happening is the MySQL connection seems to get dropped and wont reconnect (or doesn't bother trying?). Then when I run the command /npcx spawngroup create test1, I get the following in the log:

    Code:

    Then typically the server crashes with a read timed out error. I haven't been able to find any information on google or elsewhere on this. Any ideas?
