Making custom NPCs into an addon???

[yamakassi85]

So I made a set of NPCs, found a way to import them into a map that already is being played on for a long time on my server. (If interested, I can explain how I did this, so feel free to ask)

However, I have to manually give the map file and the NPC files to the people on my server via drop box, so they can manually place them in all the correct folders, to then be able to enter the server.

I know I can make the map an add-on on the workshop, and place the files in my server so it gets auto downloaded for new players.

However how can I do that for all the custom NPC files I have created?

Ok
Phew

*cracks fingers*
Get ready for a wall of text!

Step 1: make a folder on your desktop, name doesn't matter, inside that make a folder called "NPCs", no " ", inside that folder make 4 folders named

Characters
Dialogue
Quests
Vendors

Step 2: go to steam/steamapps/common/unturned/bundles/NPCs
And find your custom files in each folder. (I put [] on the front of mine so they are all at the top).

Example: I go into characters and find my custom NPCs I made and paste them into the folder I made on desktop (desktop/foldername/NPCs/Characters).
Same with dialogue, quests and vendors.

Then right click the NPCs folder you made inside the folder on the desktop, click properties, and then copy the path of it to clipboard (C: name/desktop/etc)

Then open unturned, in the menu click workshop, then submit,

Put in your own name, desc, and change notes.

In the "collection path" paste the path you had copied to clipboard.

In the "preview image" find an image you want to use for it (doesn't matter) and copy it's path to clipboard, then paste the path in the "preview image" section.

Then where it says "map" click it until it says "object" and next to it, it should say "model".

Then click create!

I might make a video on this since it takes ages in text and you might get confused

I hope people are still readin this ♥♥♥♥ but i could use some help aswell. I want to edit some custom NPC's on a map, im guessing i will need to copy the NPC file and edit that and then place the new one into the map but i have no idea where to find the excisting NPC files for the map.

Oooh long time I have not played Unturned . . .
If I am not mistaken all NPC files are in
SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Unturned\Bundles\NPCs

Copy anyone as a template, rename, edit to your liking
And once you create your npc, you can go into the map, and I think you can add them onto the map as an object (like houses, and other static objects), I think they are under the NPC filter
