[FUN/MECH] npcx (v0.0.31) - The NPC eXtender (now for 1.8.1) [1097-1157]

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.

do we need to make the table or is the plugin ? please help

 

im currently making an adventure map, and it needs npc's to act out the parts of a game im replicating, can these npcs be hostile? can they spawn when an action ingame is set? can i give these npc's different skins? and most importantly, is it possible for them to work in singleplayer?

PLEASE reply to this as soon as possible! i need it, seeing im nearly done with the map ^^

 

yep just assign a faction to them with the relevant settings for their base (see documentation)

 

Nice to hear. I using them right now as Endbosses in selfmade Dungeons and as Talkingbots to assist Citizens Quest NPCs. I really would like to get rid of citizens.

Any News about the state ? Or any ETA, maybe ?

 

Can I make so a npc tp u if u click it?

Or can u make?

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

when I start the server is a fault )-:

Also the NPCs look like there is 5 in one spot when I only spawn 1 npc. Also if you run into the NPC it pushes you away from it sometimes lunching you really far away. When you attack the NPC it only can be hit once. Please help.
