WIP - Real NPC Schedules

Post » Mon Aug 11, 2014 12:51 pm

I have been working on a new scheduling engine for Morrowind that allows NPCs to walk to different locations and go from and two different points in the gameworlds. I plan to use Arcimaestro Antares' animations to give the NPCs something to do when the move about.

For testing purposes I have scheduled Eldafire to travel about Seyda Neen. A bell is used to help know when the gamehour changes. This will be removed once debug is complete.

Her schedule is shown below

5AM - 6AM Eldafire gets up and takes a morning walk on the other side of the Seyda Neen bay
6AM - 7AM Eldafire remembered she is late for work - she gets paid to sweep the stryder plaform and runs overthere to start sweeping
7AM - 8AM Eldafire goes the the Census Warehouse to sweep it too. Open console, click the door and type unlock to enter to see her.
8AM - 9AM Eldafire eldafire takes a rest at the Census Warehouse.
9AM - 10AM Eldafire makes a trip to her home. She leaves the door unlocked when she is there.
10AM - 11AM Eldafire is still at home.
11AM - 12PM Eldafire runs out to look at the bay behind the Census office.
12PM - 1PM Eldafire returns home to sweep her house.
1PM - 2PM Eldafire leaves her home goes outside an wanders around a bit.
2PM - 3PM Eldafire visits the tradehouse to see if she can get a job sweeping the deck from Arrille
3PM - 4PM Eldafire gets the job and spends the hour sweeping the tradehouse deck
5PM - 6PM Eldafire visits Vodunius home
4PM - 5PM Eldafire visits Indrele home
6PM - 7PM Eldafire visits Forgoth's home
7PM - 8PM Eldafire visits Finemoth's Shack
8PM - 9PM Eldafire visits Terurise's House
9PM - 10PM Eldafire visits Foryn's Shack
10PM - 11PM Eldafire visits Erene's Shack
11PM - 12AM Eldafire visits Draren for a secret romance.
12AM - 5AM Eldafire sneaks back home and goes to bed locking the door behind her.

If you would like to help in the testing please read the document in the download for information on how the scripts can be modified for different tasks.

I am currently having difficulty getting interior placed NPCs to actually wander. If you know a workaround please let me know.

This version is only using the sweeping animation. I would like to have several of Antares, anamations combined into a single NIF so more tasks like eating and fishing can be done.

Any help on how to do this would be appreciated.
