[Req] Patrolling Guards : III - Morrowind

» Thu May 03, 2012 8:14 am

Morrowind Comes Alive has the tools to have varieties of the guards generated, but someone who just need to add a script that would have them walk from one city to another - I'm assuming that creating a wander Ai and path grids isn't what you mean... there is a mod that creates wandering traders with pack guars, maybe someone could apply the AI of that to the generator in MCA.

I love using MCA with Dracandro's Voice, so I can recruit platoons of randomly generated wilderness guards to be my personal retinue.

Starfire's NPC Additions added traveling merchants with guars, added various classes of NPCs to spawn and had the teleporting NPCs. Earlier this year Jac produced a Lite version that eliminated some groups of spawning NPCs (notably vampires and DB NPCs walking around in cities in broad daylight) in response to my request in this forum - I felt those two types of NPCs were just too out of place wrt MW lore. I don't have the link handy, but I'm pretty sure it was the Starfire thread where this general topic was discussed before. I use the Lite version in my game and am happy with it. I don't notice guards patrolling areas outside the city boundaries with the possible exception of Seyda Neen. I do notice one or two NPCs at the entrance to Ebonheart and on the city of Vivec's north entrance (VFQ bridge). I don't know if their presence is due to Starfire Lite or vanilla MW.

One downside using Starfire NPC Additions is that it was pretty script intensive in some areas, imo. I always had FPS problems in Balmora.

As far as I know Starfire was working on guard patrol routes but I don't think that ever made it to a public release. It was released only as a http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1033781-starfire-npc-additions/page__view__findpost__p__15008759 and it's not a part of Starfires NPC Additions 1.11.

Thanks, this is what I was talking about.
