Does this mod control or alter the spawn rate or location of vanilla traders? I'd like to be able to "move them" to another location.

Very cool mod! I would also like to ask to include DejFidOFF Animal Traders if possible. Thank you :)

So that essence creature is for the upcoming updating I am adding to this mod (see comment directly below yours and the General NPCs (future feature) part of the mod description for more information. They arn't supposed to be spawning but I didn't disable them correct in the mod during the last update. I can push a quick update that should turn them off if you feel they are too much of a pain.

As for the strawbed, yes any VANILLA bed will work just fine, same with any VANILLA lantern and table!

Hey!
I keep getting these item creature essencestones around my house, first one was just in my cellar, killed it and the second spawned outside the room im prepping for my first trader. Any idea what it is and how i can stop them from spawning?
Also, is a straw bed enough to make them spawn?
Great mod so far!

Wanted to post an update on here on the progress towards the General NPC's that I am trying to add.

I have the assets mostly created
- Brazier
- Essence material and essence crystal (that some of you might of run into in the latest version)
- Human NPC models (working on creating atleast 5-7 varients to start)

All thats left after I finish the models is be begin programing the functionality which is going to be somewhat the same as the Hats but with no requirements other then the essence material

Hopefully I will have the update finished and ready to go by next week/weekend. Maybe sooner....maybe later. Depends on how much I feel like working on things =p

Not really possible once they are summoned, they move in a fixed 4x4 area around the block they are spawned on (this is vanilla mechanic) and cannot be moved once summoned. However, once they are summoned you are free to tear down anything around them and build around them again.

Hello, how feasible is it to move a trader from one room to another?

Glad to hear its working for ya haha!

The creature essence is gonna be for the new general NPC spawning system I am building out they are supposed to be disabled but I guess they work still haha.

NateDoesLife ill give it a shot im not the best and im new to this whole modding stuff for vintage but ill see if i can recreate it  ill load vintage story dissable the ndl villagers mod then go into my mod folder and delete it then install the latest and see what i get thank you for replying in that timely manner aswell glad to see you trying to help with support for your own mod:)        just dissabled the older version of the mod and downloaded the 1.3.2 hats are now showing up and arte showing up in the handbook not sure what was going on last night but it seems fixed ill update this again if it ends up breaking but  as of now i broke it and replaced it and it hasnt broke yet really hope this mod works for me now:)           i still have the 1.2.0 installed and in the mod folder i just dissabled it and downloaded the 1.3.2 and just enabled that one gonna test something and see if it will finnaly work for me or if its just a shot in the dark  PS sorry for the long comment and updated notes  as i said im new to all this and this is the first mod ive had to reach out on for support.     ill be live on twitch for atleast 12 hours today if i dont get called in and if it happens it would be easier to show you whats going on via stream cause i dont know how to get to certain files and all that farthest ive gotten is looking at the client logs and looking for the error msg i got for them  twitch is the same as my vintage name just a update about it i tried placing a hat outside the room and it broke instantly so i think its all golden and fixed now ;)          was just running around my world and found a creature essence is this the new way to spawn them in for 1.3.2 ?   killed the creature but cant harvest it  anyways still waiting to see if the hat will update with the visitor progression  IT TOOK OVER 2 HOURS BUT ITS WORKING ITS FINNALY UP TO 10% ITS WORKING THANK YOU FOR THE HELP AND MAKING THIS BEAUTIFAL MOD

It SHOULD as long as all those items are not mod specific and are tied into the vanilla code. Obviously I dont know for 100% as I havent tested it but you would know pretty quick if it doesnt as the hat will pop up.

Novantis

Very cool mod. Does this work with vanilla variants?

NateDoesLife

I can probably add them to the random trader hat.

I'd have to consider the specific trader hats as that would require me to make more of the hat models and whatnot (bit more of a time investment on that one).

I've been trying to get around to working on the general NPC spawning side of this so that will probably take priority over adding support for other mods at the moment.

DilanRona

Could you add support for the other mod traders (like the domestic animal trader, and the wild animal trader)?

👀 Very cool!

I can see about it. For the time being you can use Heat Retention - Vintage Story Mod DB to make your chiseled blocks retain heat and count as a full house as well.

The_Amish

You can also build a room that fits the requirements, spawn the trader, and then get rid of said room and rebuild it as you wish after the trader is spawned!

would it be possible to have some mod functions to remove the requirement of the house being a registered room? my issue is that a lot of the buildings i make are chisled so they dont meet the requirement

NateDoesLife Just checked the hat and found it on the floor. Went and crawled through client-main, server-main, client-debug and server-debug and couldn't find any events or errors related to ndlvillagers. Just the startup events when the mod loads. I can send you the log files if you like.

Just say your last, messaged you on discord with some screenshots.

So I tried specifically the treasurehat, and it seems to be working fine on my end.

Make sure you arn't using a ruins bed as well, those wont work.

If you message me on discord I might be able to help you further, a screenshot of your house location would help. You can contact me via NateDoesLife with a crown emoji infront of it. If you search in the VS discord you should find me pretty easily.

Gottcha, I will play around with them and see whats happening.

The log file will have a notification that goes off when the hat breaks and it will tell you what requirements are not being met. Might be hard to find since you will have to wait for the hat to break to see it but I will play around with it in a test world and see if I can replicate it.

BetterTraders shouldn't have any effect!

Mor_Havok

NateDoesLife I'm trying to spawn a treasure hunter. I'm also using the BetterTraders mod which, as far as I can tell, should be compatible as it only changes the pregenerated trader wagons. I'll see what I can find in the logs and let you know. Thanks

Yes, it should say in in the server-main.log file or the client-main.log file why the hat is dropping.

What hat are you having trouble with specifically so I can test it out a bit for you as well on my end!

Mor_Havok

This mod looks very cool but I cannot, for the life of me, get it to work. I've built two different rooms (and checked that they were valid with /debug room hi), placed down a bed, table, and lantern. I put the hat on the table and it shows 0% for several days before falling to the ground. Is there a log file somewhere that I can check for errors or a debug command I can use to force the traders to spawn?

Thanks a lot, i loved it.

mmmm, I haven't tested it myself....but I would assume so with how I have it working. Just need to be able to craft and place the hat meeting the requirements and it will eventually spawn a villager.

So unless there is some entity blocking mechanic in homo sapiens, then it should work.

JDealer18

does the mod work in homo sapiens?

Не проблема! Он простой, но работает и надеюсь расширить его.

Я думаю, что большая проблема заключается в том, что это было слишком много, я собираюсь сделать это простым и понятным для того, чего я хочу!

RNM

спасибо за вашу работу а то нет ни одного рабочего  мода  на деревню

Yes, heavily inspired by Terraria in terms of gathering villagers but needing to actually have a house for them and what not prior. I would love to eventually make it so they just show up without having to craft a block and what not and maybe in a future update I will be able to achive that but this is a good work around towards that for the time being!

Glad you like it!

DeviousDoge

Ayy, this sounds super neat. Been missing a mod like VS Village. Is this intended to be a bit more like Terraria inspired? I've always loved the idea of being able to slowly build up your own village of individually unique NPCs, all with their own function, as a core part of progression in the game, the same way that Terraria handles that sort of thing. You're in a great position to have this do something wholly unique, whereas mods like VS Village (when they end up getting updated) seem to focus more on the more ambient, Minecraft style villages. Best of both worlds. :)
