Is there a means of tweaking NPCs sight ranges without either outright editing the mod, or setting them to omniscient? For example, if i place an NPC on one side of a flat but wide area, and another on the opposite side, have both NPCs be able to see eachother, but still not see if there is an NPC, say, behind a wall? The base is amazing in alot of regards but i can't help but feel like all of the NPCs are nearsighted or something

dope man, the VJ optimization buff also makes MASSIVE fights with these npcs really cool.

Wow that was fast, it is fixed indeed. thanks!

@Mister Leeroy I have updated the base, the issues should stop
IvanVladimir0435  [author] Apr 22 @ 1:13pm 
I see the newest VJ Base update rendered the compatibility hooks unnecessary breaking them
Mister Leeroy Apr 22 @ 1:12pm 
Never used this base prior to the VJ Base Revamp but this could be linked?

wait so for the relationships could I align the covenant npcs mod from this base to vj base covenant npcs mods?

Are the IV04 Npc's supposed to be deaf to gunfire or sounds? The NPC's only react on a direct hit but no gunfire or anything like that.

Post it in the addon's comments

You need to elaborate more than that
jiminycricketlaughs Aug 25, 2024 @ 12:57pm 
for some reason the halo nextbots make problems so they don`t work
Jeromeous Aug 22, 2024 @ 1:54pm 
ok thanks
IvanVladimir0435  [author] Aug 22, 2024 @ 1:53pm 
You need to restart the map after generating a navmesh
Jeromeous Aug 22, 2024 @ 1:50pm 
i know its not the fact it cant move, it keeps sending the message after i despawned them
IvanVladimir0435  [author] Aug 22, 2024 @ 1:48pm 
Lookup "navmesh generation guide"
Jeromeous Aug 22, 2024 @ 1:47pm 
help it keeps spamming the message about how it cant move
Hoods Apr 18, 2024 @ 9:36pm 
Nevermind, I didn't type in the right faction name, my bad
Hoods Apr 18, 2024 @ 9:10am 
Whenever I try to set a faction and spawn an NPC of that faction, the see me as hostile.

Is there a method on how to deal with this?
RuinedWake Mar 20, 2024 @ 6:59am

How do I change the Sighttypes?
Zippy Jan 8, 2024 @ 9:32am

IvanVladimir0435  [author] Jan 8, 2024 @ 9:24am 
You won't get added to the tags by the way
Zippy Jan 8, 2024 @ 2:43am 
dang good job, keep it up! :steamthumbsup:

will we ever get some NPCs from other star wars games like "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed"?
The PC Game Player 55 Dec 5, 2023 @ 4:17pm 
i got a navmesh mod i'll see if that works, if it doesn't then i'll just use maps w/ navmeshes integrated into them
IvanVladimir0435  [author] Dec 5, 2023 @ 12:18pm 
You can generate one for yourself, with the console command, make one with the navmesh editing tool, use the navmesh tool the nextbots send in the chat when they start spinning, or checking on the workshop in the mere case someone generated a navmesh and decided to upload it
The PC Game Player 55 Dec 5, 2023 @ 11:40am 
by "getting a navmesh" do you mean navmeshed map or a mod?
Sharlamagne Dec 2, 2023 @ 4:50pm 
For some reason, even with the convar activated, the NPCs still drop their weapons
IvanVladimir0435  [author] Sep 26, 2023 @ 8:43pm 
by getting a navmesh
The PC Game Player 55 Sep 26, 2023 @ 7:08pm 
how do you get the nextbots to stop spinning?
Gnilomord Sep 13, 2023 @ 10:03pm 
Are there settings so that standard NPCs and SNPС vjbase do not aggro on nextbots?
Osadniczek140 Sep 2, 2023 @ 6:12am 
wheres the settings
Average Enjoyer Sep 1, 2023 @ 11:56pm 
how do i know what faction nextbot is
The omega crazytails Aug 31, 2023 @ 12:12am 
They shoot a few times then just stand there
blockfortressfan Aug 7, 2023 @ 7:00am 
After the latest update, I've been unable to spawn NPCs using this base. (Reach, CE, CEA and CE Digsite specifically). Is there an issue on my end?

The Đoctor Jul 27, 2023 @ 3:38pm 
If I enable cheats on my server and put it in through the in-game console it works, but sadly setting the convar in the server settings I found it doesn't work through restart.
The Đoctor Jul 27, 2023 @ 3:30pm 
I'm getting the same issue with halo Reach nextbots, setting "iv04_nextbot_drop_weapons 0" isn't working for me either.
IvanVladimir0435  [author] Jul 25, 2023 @ 11:21am 
You need to be specific as that is not normal
Collapsing Jul 25, 2023 @ 8:05am 
Is there a reason why the npcs have such a hard time on servers? They crash the game pretty quickly when more than like 10 are spawned.
Thornveil Jul 1, 2023 @ 8:50am 
Yeah, I should've mentioned that part better. My apologies.
IvanVladimir0435  [author] Jun 30, 2023 @ 5:20pm 
Difficulty? Are you talking about the Halo Reach Nextbots?
Thornveil Jun 30, 2023 @ 4:37pm 
The convar "iv04_nextbot_drop_weapons 0" isn't setting correctly. We have all the required addons, AFAIK there's no conflicting addons, we have it set in the server cfg file, we've done it through console, it just literally never changes.

And the difficulty doesn't seem to be working too, unless the NPCs on Legendary Difficulty are meant to die in like half of an MA37 magazine.

Any help appreciated.
CeratoScar Jun 12, 2023 @ 1:39pm 
the set faction command isnt working im puttin /IV04SetFaction FACTION_SEPARATISTS on the chat for the star wars mod but it doesnt work
IvanVladimir0435  [author] May 13, 2023 @ 10:16am

stgmoody8 May 13, 2023 @ 8:28am
