when im in a small map the npcs start o spawn outside the map and go to the skybox, how do i make it fixed up?

I have some ideas that can go along with this background NPCs thing like stores and police and ambulance and stuff. Want to talk to you about that and see if you were up for the job, paid of course
@Kaizer there are settings in the background npc options tab, go find them in the panel

Where are the console comands to activate, deactivate and for other functions like: spwan just police, but in console, activate and deactivate wanted. By the way: good work! I'm using it with the game mod The Hidden: Iris edition and is very funny (cause I can't find people to play with me then I choose to make NPC's playing with me while I'm the Hidden!). To make it work I go to sandbox and make my configs in Background NPCs then I go to the Game mode and create a online server then I can play the Hidden with the bots.

gmod has an obsession with trying to hide the mods that im looking for

It's really nice but when I try to fix my plane infil they die, since they so many they crashed my game, could you remove the thing where if a player goes somewhere they die and respawn and tp to you? its crashing my game.

Who has a problem with this mod because in my game all the NPC 's are all scared, getting killed, and blown up by rebels and the police. Please I need help to figure this out

For what reason can there be a situation (like mine) in which the special forces do not shoot at me, while the police shoot?

trying makes it consume a lot of fps, a simple spawn of the simphys ones and rip fps, and lua errors

is there a way to turn the npcs off without uninstalling or disabling the mod?
~WiFiCatGirl~ Jul 7 @ 4:55am 
how do i override what an npc spawns? i wish to use a vj npcs for citizen gang police etc, but it still spawns default npcs
jape1 Jul 6 @ 8:24am 
i love this mod spent alot of time using it and stuff but i thought if maybe it would be possible to add some kind of setting to make the police act more like combine from hl2 i think that would be a really cool for hl2 rp or something like that, but it is still a awsome mod:demoticon:

how do the thieves work?
StupidStuff Jun 23 @ 1:46pm 
Yup, it's just the same car as before, idk why it's just not working properly for me
StupidStuff Jun 23 @ 1:43pm 
I'm gonna try out a few maps and see if it fixes it or not, if its the same on every map I try, then I'll just do the cars myself
This does not happen if you just use the dv ai without bkgnpcs, it's not as immersive but it gurantees different vehicles each time
Either It's dependent on the map you are playing, smaller maps likely default to a vehicle that can barely drive safely or there is a new compatibility issue with bkgnpcs & dv preventing them from appearing in different vehicles
StupidStuff Jun 23 @ 12:22am 
When using the DV addon, the cars that spawn in are only using 1 car, I don't know if I'm missing a setting or something, and I can't really find anything online so any help would be great
Ensure that whatever types you want to spawn CAN spawn, you can't just change the top variable you also need to change the slide variable of each background npc class to something higher than 1. Check their spawn radiuses too

why arent npcs spawning anymore
what Jun 21 @ 3:02am 
why doesn't the wanted mode work? I've enabled it, and disabled all other addons.
Or using the extended ai navigation addon works if it's gonna piss you off waiting awhile- https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3048721100
Then do nav_save, or you'll have to do this every single time. I do not recommend doing this on very big maps without navmeshes, it can take hours.
If that's the case, you'll want to use the dev console with sv_cheats enabled. Make a navmesh automatically using nav_generate, it's going to lag a fucking lot on lower end pcs.
Srpatata Jun 19 @ 11:47am 
Umm... But i don´t understand how to use the Navmesh Editor
I had issues with that also, the best options are use HE & modify the map yourself with a navmesh or use Easy Navmesh Editor
Srpatata Jun 18 @ 4:21pm 
I followed the tutorial but the point editor doesn't work and even though I already traced a path, the NPCs mostly move where they want.

хороший адонн :steamthumbsup:
jwchav97 Jun 15 @ 10:54am 
nevermind when i uninstalled an npc falling mod it stopped
jwchav97 Jun 15 @ 10:51am 
everytime the npcs spawn in cars, they instantly die
kiriyascha Jun 15 @ 7:36am 
отличный мод

I don't understand where your problems are coming from. Most high-load methods are executed asynchronously between frames, not once per frame. Disable automatic mesh generation in the settings, maybe that will help.
[FG] Shark_vil  [author] Jun 14 @ 8:55am 
The addon lags so much that everything works fine for me with 200 NPCs.
I use Arch, btw Jun 14 @ 4:21am 
I love this mod but its terrible optimized
Deadmau5UltraAnimals Jun 14 @ 4:06am 
this is great but the issue is my ryzen 7 PC which hates this mod for some reason. Even turning settings to low doesnt help. Any ideas what could be the issue?
Scorp Jun 10 @ 9:18am 
My issue that I posted about earlier seems to have gone away, no idea why. It might've been another addon that was causing it as when I disabled this addon spawed NPCs were still flying around
tony-tizzle Jun 10 @ 7:56am 
Why are the npcs spinning into the air and playing some weird sound? Can anyone help?
