Took care of that too. I'm a genius.

Okay I've got him all set, except he sounds like female Jaden. And if that wasn't weird enough, his lips don't move.

The Rey character download goes up on character customization, but how do I add Finn? I've got the model and the NPC and everything ready.

(Side note: how do I remove models there too?)

@@KPSpark made this real quick and haven't tested it (don't have enough npcs to), so fair warning if it doesn't work.

 

The zip has two parts to it:

• updated openjk binaries with the vehicle and npc extensions increased for both multiplayer and singleplayer.
• a pk3 called df_limitbreaker.pk3

Try the pk3 first, just drop it in your base directory and see if it works, if not, try running your openjk_SP.x86.exe from the GameData directory with df_limitbreaker.pk3 in base.  If that still doesn't work you may need to use the binaries I included to update your openjk install.  If you get an error saying that msvcp140.dll or something similar is missing you can get that here.

 

Use at your own risk, etc. etc.

(Wincing as I'm writing this) Didn't work, and I can't open openjksp.exe for different reasons.

"The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application."

Yep. Error-ception. Honestly I can roll with switching out the asset1.pk3 with a modified one until I sort it out. No need to beat a dead horse here.

I already answered your question, three threads are not necessary.  You can't do it with pk3 notepad magic, sorry.  You'll need to recompile the single player code with the change variable.  You should edit your post to reflect this, ask for someone to do it for you instead of asking how since you've already been answered how.

 

EDIT:

Thanks, if I have time I might try and do it this week.  Someone may beat me to it.

'Kay. Thanks, and sorry about the threads, those were unnecessary I was just tangled in web of problems. This boils it down to one.

I know I've been a nuisance. I should probably make my avatar Jar Jar to reflect that.

Yep. Made different topic here: http://jkhub.org/topic/6885-increase-amount-of-npc-files-in-single-player/

Moved topic here: http://jkhub.org/topic/6885-increase-amount-of-npc-files-in-single-player/

Wait, is this an issue with the game or NPC Tool? I'm confused.

The game. Yeah, the topic kinda moved past that... I might wanna re-title it.

It might not be a limit problem as previously thought which might be your problem.  Can you add other npcs created by other people?  Is the game crashing with an error?

NPC files too big. Yep. Game loads, error message pops up.

Error: NPC LoadParms: ran out of space before reading [insertrandomcharacterhere].npc (you must make the .npc files smaller)

Nope. It's a separate .exe you use to launch the game. 

 

You can read about it here:

 

http://jkhub.org/topic/2220-frequently-asked-questions/

Yep. Not working either.

You sure there's nothing I can't copy and paste? I just want to increase .npcs in SP.

Doesn't OpenJK raise the limit in SP?

Apparently. Is that something I can copy and paste?

There's a github with the source code on it: https://github.com/JACoders/OpenJK/blob/master/code/game/NPC_stats.cpp see line 217.

 

If you have never coded it before you might want to start with a tutorial: 

I'm a bit busy with other things and projects to do it myself for you, but someone else might be willing.

Yep. Definitely don't know how to do this. And I'd rather not bug anyone into doing it for me so are you sure there's not something I can just copy and paste into the base folder?

That mod is only for multiplayer.  You'd have to patch singleplayer yourself, since I don't think anyone's made one for SP that I'm aware of.  The thread I linked you to explains how to change it.

Okay so I followed this post...

Except I don't know where to find said code. Nowhere in the topic did they address that.

Ewww.

 

See this: http://jkhub.org/topic/2885-jedi-academy-npc-limit/?p=38245

This mod should solve the issue: http://mrwonko.de/jk3files/Jedi%20Academy/Mods/Multiplayer/87847/

Yeah, it's not working. Would it help to mention I'm trying to increase NPCs in singleplayer?

Okay so I downloaded JK Unlimited for the limitless .NPCs, but it's not doing the trick. I put the .pk3 into the gamedata/base folder. That's where it goes correct? I've read some other problems people had and apparently it doesn't sit well with other mods. Apart from extra maps and NPCs I don't use any. I do however use steam if that helps.

Oookay I need to modify the game code. Now the question is where is that?

@@KPSpark

Using an editor like Notepad++ or sublime or something similar will also make it a lot easier.  You can probably cut most of the work out for yourself, by just grabbing one of the npc files to start with from one of Raven's pk3s (they're in the ext_data directory) and just modify it and save it as a new file.

Figured it out just by removing some other mods. Notably .NPC mods. So there is a limit to how many you can have at a time?

This?  http://jkhub.org/files/file/2420-npctool/

 

It's kind of old, so if your using a newer OS, you might need to try running it in comparability mode.  I haven't used it for a long time though, I usually just make em by hand now, since it's faster that way.

Well la dee da. Kidding. Thanks though!

Here goes nothing...

Nope. I have JK3 on steam, could that be something? The directory checks out.

...what is NPCTool?

The NPC Editor.

 

Access violation at address 004D550D in module 'NPCTool.exe'. Read of addresss 0000000.

 

List index out of bounds (1)

Just of few of the messages I keep getting. I've set the target to the base folder in JK3, but apart from that nothing seems to work.

So I downloaded both movie duels mods in hopes of adding the much missing characters to the game. Because it's a Star Wars game right? It's like you have the coolest toy set ever, but you can't have Han Solo or Darth Vader. Except these are total conversion mods, the whole game is now Star Wars Wrestlemania.

So how do I take these .pk3s, trim out the other stuff and keep the NPCs for the main game? Is this even possible? If not then can someone pacify me and point me to a bunch of files that add all the OT characters?
