How do i make the bandit aim less accurate, at the moment unless im 100 plus feet away and running constant zig zag pattern, they are dead on with every shot even while running at me and they switch clips faster than Lara croft.

No you didnt install wrong, the way I learnded was i installed the bad company that is primarily archtypes and a few xmls.Originally Posted by SlicksGirl
go to any biome spawner copy one of the lines , paste it back in then you need to create a group name I did one called PistolPacking Bandits, I did search for pistol and added each of these entities to that group then added that group to the biome spawner, You may want to lower probability though, and adjust to your spec. then add a group or add to a group screamer max count 1. Adding the screamer seemed to enhance the spawn count and consistency.
Remember to create entity group
my spawning example
<biome name="snow">
<spawn maxcount="1" respawndelay="4" time="Any" entitygroup="MySurvivors"/>
<spawn maxcount="1" respawndelay="1" time="Any" entitygroup="ZombieScouts" />
<spawn maxcount="1" respawndelay="4" time="Any" entitygroup="SnowZombies"/>
<spawn maxcount="1" respawndelay="1" time="Any" entitygroup="PistolPackingBanditGroup" />
<spawn maxcount="1" respawndelay="7" time="Any" entitygroup="EnemyAnimalsSnow" spawnDeadChance="0"/>
<spawn maxcount="1" respawndelay="7" time="Any" entitygroup="FriendlyAnimalsSnow" spawnDeadChance="0"/>
</biome>
I just close the game added the edits and started back, since have multiple biomes touching in my center city, they just started up without haveing to redo a new game.
PS: with this mod tere are apprx 259 plus zombies survivors and Bandits, you may want to block comment some out. If you make a big group and are fast at killing them, the screamer will help cycle through the group faster.

thank you, i think i got it. it was confusing at first... LOL and kinda scary.

When will we have bandit babies and kids? I think it would be funny to see a bandit family running through a biome together.. guns blazing! or maybe even have a bandit base family.

All fine, but... if I manually spawn a bandit, example , se xxxx 511 he, apparently, works correctly. He can walk. He shoots you if he sees you. I can kill him. I can pick up your drop. Apparently seems correct, but... in my RAT do not stop error messages.
Tested: BanditTemplated, BanditWarLeader, BanditDragonLeader, BanditThugMachete, ... ... ...
In server logs we can see the following error message continuously until we kill the banditxxxxxxxxInvalidCastException. Cannot cast from source type to destination type
How can I solve this problem? thx ;-)InvalidCastException: Cannot cast from source type to destination type.

slightly confused here.. so i'm looking for NPC's
is this a bandit or an NPC?
npcBanditLeader
Thats from allocs mod.
Two ways to get past it.
One is to try changing the bandits from <property name="EntityType" value="Zombie"/> to <property name="EntityType" value="Player"/>
The other is to recompile allocs with a small change:
in Hostiles.cs is this bit:
The issue is that with the above xml, the bandits are EntityType.Zombie, but they are not derived from EntityEnemy, so the direct cast is invalid.Code:if (entity.entityType == EntityType.Zombie) { EntityEnemy ee = (EntityEnemy)entity; if (ee.IsAlive ()) count++;
I'm not sure of the purpose for the cast, as IsAlive is on the base type of Entity, so could possibly remove the cast and just use entity.IsAlive in the check
Code:if (entity.entityType == EntityType.Zombie) { if (entity.IsAlive ()) count++;
FYI, if you go with the first option, it will give players pvp kills on the score card
As mention in discord, but repeating for others that see this:
npcBanditLeader is the vanilla one and is broken if not changed from default settings (NRE when they take damage as no faction assigned)
I finally got some of your bandits working in Valmod and I noticed that the "Kill ## players" steam achievements are getting done when I kill them. Not complaining, I don't now how else I would finish those.
Ok this is the long answer so don't get bored. This is how i customized them and what i learned
.
First go here: https://github.com/7days2mod
You will see 3 badcompany downloads, get the one in the middle it just says Badcompany.
Zip your config folder
open config folder and your badcompany
First copy the archtypes.xml over the one you have. Start game in offline mode so you can see the different things i will explain. At the main menu go to profiles
Now you should see a huge amount more.
BadCompany is based off of the UMA textures and your human model. It just changes the clothes and the names. Later you can tweak them and make more zombies or charcaters, using the Archtype.xml
I needed you to see these first, to understand the bandits Survivors and zombies are all from the same mold. The things that make them different are the names, clothes,bodytexture,and base AI template.
npcBanditLeader is based off "EntityType" value="Player"/> but the ai has them to target you, <entity_class name="npcSurvivorTemplate"> is the same except the ai says do not target you. The only real difference is the Name,textures,and ai.
Now you can copy the restof the xml files to the config folder. You are ready to get started
Entityclasses.xml
NOTE: For the survivor to be ready for activation and not get the funky errors. add this to survivortemplate below mesh line
<property name="NPCID" value="banditronin"/>
It doesn't make them bad it just gives a desinator to the game to recognize them.
In entitygroup.xml make two groups for ease of use call them MySurvivors and MyBandits
Using notepad++ search entityclasses for bandits first copy the entitybanditranged to the banditgroup, the repeat steps and copy npcrangedsurvivorto your survivorgroup. NOTE: just duplicate the syntax ex. <entity name="zombieNurse"/> replace nurse with survivor text you copied and past to the group.
Now that you have "an entity/an npcid/and a group set up. go to spawning for inital test, pick the closest biome to your present location,
<spawn maxcount="1" respawndelay="1" time="Day" entitygroup="PUT YOUR BANDIT OR SURVIVOR GROUP HERE"/> then paste this line under the biome name line.
continue game and there are you NPCs now customize them as you desire.
SIDE NOTES: You can repeat this for all the new zombies, All of these are based off of Player AI "abilities" the hand item for bandit and survivor allows you to let them hold objects,weapons or even eat and drink if you get the syntax right.
For the zombies THe Hand item can be changed and you can actually give them clubs and guns if you wanted to.
I will tell you this, NPC's rarely miss. so either armor up or lower damage dealt, or while testing GO GODMODE on them.
You can add them to a group in a POI, a biome or adjust the AI to follow you kind of like bodyguards.
If you extended their sesitivity range way out and had them go into a skyscraper, two of them could clean it out, just change the pistol to ak47 and 762 bullets.
Have fun[/QUOTE]

How did you add them to a poi, im very curious. There are no more static spawners and the bandit groups error out the game if you try to add them to sleeper volume groups. Did you make your own script/code? Btw, you can adjust stats on the guns to make them miss more often, or if you want them to be accurate, you can decrease the damage they do in items xml.
they are dead straight with their aim through blocks and out of sight too. i was on a roof, behind a wall and they were shooting at me like crazy. LOL
The AI isnt really there to handle the aiming stuff any better. You'll have to wait for a17 changes to guns/AI for more options there.
The best I can offer is to reduce the damage per shot (weapon + ammo damage are additive), so that while they may peg you a lot you dont die from two shots.

Short answer, a16 for now i can't. I have a8 to a16, on a hard drive. Ive been adding adjusting between all of the versions, The last success i had was with a15, so i thought i could group them as before. BIG mistake, like you said, Ive tried to use earlier prefabs, add to spawn, takeover spawn, so far no go.
But StompyNZ has opened a door for me, with utilizing uma, I am still going to try. BTW If you combine Stompy,Guppy,xtrakickin,and Tin's Ideas all together, you would get a streamlined ultra-customizable platform. If X modded alphamaps for import, Stompy handles the AI , Guppy the front end and Tin the teraforming. Last add the ability to use the prefab.xml in rwg like in Navezgane.
Again wish the spaghetti code was simpler or I ws smarter. I really want to create the Neegan Prison, with Slaanhatten as my end game.
Its ok for me ;-) Thx +1000
There is not bandits on this version? Because i can see the new zombies added but i didnt find any bandit yet.
