[RASAS]

I'm unable to spawn my mod called "arsen", every time I try to spawn my mod by entering playermodel arsen, I keep getting this message "G_ChangePlayermodel: cannot find npc arsen", I did use helpusobi 1 and my mod does have ext_data npc file, why am I unable to play my mod, all my other mods are working perfectly, except for this one, can anyone please help me out ?

mmm , delete weapon WP_MELEE, because a NPC cannot use more of 1 weapons on NPC file setting, except the Boba fett class.

also, set a more ForceRegenAmount 1 is really a too low value, it's better almost 50 point. you can set the ForceRegenRate command for set a increasing of regeneration, you can set the regenrate by 1 to... any other value.

Npc file is okay however. What error you get?

When you spawn the NPC you can see the NPC? Or is invisibile? The saber is visible?how many NPC you added in your mod? there is a limit of possible NPC you can add and maybe you have overflow this limit. so when you spawn him, it crashO.o

Make sure the model folder name is "arsen" too.

[RASAS]

the model folder name is arsen and this problem is the first time this has happened, I haven't played JKA for a while, just returned, but when last I played the mod was working perfectly with the npc settings I had placed on "arsen",

so I don't think changing the npc settings will do anything.

Maybe upload your PK3 for people to inspect.

[RASAS]

how would I do that ? Sorry I'm not computer literate or forum literate ?

 

How do I upload my pk3 file ?

[Omicron]

Use any file sharing service like Dropbox

[Ramikad]

Also, make sure that the .npc file is in the npcs folder inside ext_data, not just ext_data. This very simple mistake tricked me a few times.

[RASAS]

ok something weird just happened, I decided to reinstall jka and create a new gamedata folder in doing so. When I put my mod's pk3 file in the new base folder, and tried it out when playing the game from the new  gamedata folder, my mod works, proving that nothing is wrong with my mod, everything I did to create my mod was correct, however the mod still does not work in the previous gamedata base folder it was in, does anyone have an idea why this problem is happening, and yes I have other mods in the previous gamedata base folder, some that are similar mods like "arsen" and some that are entirely different ?

[Boothand]

Have you tried removing all other mods, and see if your mod works then? Sounds like some conflict.

[Vulcan]

If two models have the same name, you can count on conflicts

Also, scroll around in the mighty console. The game might warn you about something on startup. (Shift+~, and scroll around with page-up/down)

[RASAS]

even after removing all mods and leaving arsen as the only mod, my mod still doesn't work, however I installed a new gamedata folder of jedi academy and played aresn there and it works, I don't know why it was not working in the previous gamedata folder, but thank you for the help you all have given me
