Could you post your NPC's json file? As for the file its looking for. That is where the mod creator compiled his mod from.
Could you also post your dialogue.tsv file please. If you don't mind, maybe it would be better to post your entire npc folder. That way we're not asking for different files over and over.
Okay, here are the documents. They're not very exciting considering I'm still working out his character.
Ok, here's what I've seen. Inside your dialogue.txt file. You have "loveItemdialogue" but it's looking for "loveItemDialogue". Same for the other ones such as like, hate. Next thing I noticed, you have empty lines in the animations file. I don't think it's liking that.
We're making progress, I think. The documents are case sensitive. Now, I get this error after I have loaded my save. [220:16 INFO Custom NPC] Rex 1.0.0 by Darkry 115 [220:16 DEBUG Custom NPC] Placed Rex on Map: <Saloon> [220:16 ERROR Custom NPC] This mod failed in the TimeEvents.AfterDayStarted event.

It works now! Except he's just standing in the same place in the Saloon breathing all day, but he's there and he talks so that's great.
I still haven't figured it out and it doesn't seem like I'll be able to figure it out tonight, but I'd like to thank you for all the help you've been, Mizzion.
The format is a bit off, you were missing some tabs in the schedule. (Use Notepad+ to edit the file and acivate "Show All Characters" to see the tabs as arrows in the document) Also the keys aren't right (should be Mon instead of Monday) and the animation dialogue is missing it's %. You should however use a variable for that and define it in dialogues so if you or anyone ever wants to translate the mod it's all in one place. And yes the Item Dialogue keys are case sensitive. I quickly made those changes for you. I might have overlooked something but see if this works better. For the json: You don't need to include any line that has the default value, in your case: crush, relations, datable, gender, facing, age, and displayname.
Yes, I caught the error I made in writing out the weekdays, but not the other ones, so thank you for that. He's out and about now! The only thing amiss is that his animation dialogue is not displaying his portrait and it doesn't help if I put $0 or any other number after the dialogue string. This is a minor thing, though.
I saw a while back that a template would be available for creating new NPCs, is that still in the works, or maybe published somewhere separate from the customnpc mod? (honestly, i mostly just need help figuring out the schedule and animation files, the rest i can figure out on my own haha)
Since there's already one (mostly) working NPC, I believe some of us (or at least myself), intend to use that as a basic template to learn what to do to make our own npcs. I hope to finish a personal project soon where I take some of the "famous characters" NPC replacements and turn them into actual NPCs, so I don't have to choose between, for example, having Diverse Sam and Sebastian, or having Prompto and Noctis (from FFXV) in my game.
Hey, sorry if this thread is dead. I was wondering if anyone can explain adding a building+Interior? I have them made, and have been trying to use both the Alec and Nagito examples, but for some reason it's been alluding me. Any help or direction to a more detailed explanation would be appreciated.
Is it dead yet? I'm curious to know if it's possible to add "neutral items" into the NPC's item preference. The items are default to their universal liking (for example, everyone dislikes fish). Obviously, by including the fish ID in "love", "like", or "hate" would do the trick and adjust the preference, but I wan't to know why there isn't a way to configure an NPC's "neutral" item lists? In short, I want my NPC to accept fish as neutral gifts.
So, I'm keen to create an NPC, but have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. Can anyone give me, or link me to a crash course in json. file creation? I know it's all listed up there, but to my uneducated eyes it just looks like gibberish. My apologies for the bother.
Platonymous, just wanted to ask if you were planning to update your mods to the MP beta or if you only intend to work with the single player version of the game? Other than that awesome project and I'm using the structure you have in place to build my own project for new NPCs in MP.
I'm pretty sure I wrote everything correctly but I always end up with this error: [Custom NPC] Mod crashed when editing asset 'Data\NPCGiftTastes', which may cause errors in-game.
