Pre-Populated Levels - Nomad 1.3

MQsM8P7a7Xs

Pre-Populated Levels is a concept I’ve wanted for a long time, so I decided to make it a reality!  With a deep love for adventure-style maps with pre-spawned enemies, I developed this mod in an effort to make any map into an adventure-style map!

With this mod enabled, every level will be pre-populated with NPCs, just like a dungeon. This works in Sandbox, Crystal Hunt, or Survival Mode. However, I recommend playing Sandbox mode for the best experience.

This mod features 2 core NPC spawning functionalities: On Level Load and Timed Spawns.

ON LEVEL LOAD:

When enabled, this functionality will spawn NPCs when the player first loads into a level, at random locations relative to the player.  Try to kill all of the enemies!  You can fully configure the spawn distances, spawn quantity, creature types, and more. Due to the random nature of the spawning, no two play sessions are the same!

TIMED SPAWNS:

Spawn NPCs at random positions around the present player position at pre-defined time intervals.  This allows for unlimited fun, particularly on larger levels. Fully configurable for quantity of NPCs, spawn distances, time intervals, and more.

MOD OPTIONS:

Your experience is fully customizable for each mode of spawning, with selectable options such as:

• []Which type of creature will spawn? You have the choice of all creature tables presently loaded. I have added a new Creature Table called “RandomAllCombined” to the catalog that combines all creature types, including modded creatures, and makes them possible to spawn.  This combined creature table is the default setting for this mod, but feel free to change the creature table to any type of enemy you are looking to face![/]

  []Faction ID.  Choose whether the NPCs will be hostile, friendly, or dummy.  Choose 3 for general hostile enemies. Choose -1 for dummy enemies.[/]

  []Number of creatures spawned - determine how many NPCs will spawn. Beware: choosing more may have impacts on game performance.[/]

  []Minimum and maximum distance from player - how far the NPCs will spawn from the player’s position[/]

  []Maximum creatures check: For timed spawns, will check how many NPC spawn positions are located between your minimum and maximum distance. If the number is below this maximum, it will spawn more. This ensures the scene does not get too crowded.[/]

  []Minimum and Maximum vertical offset - how far above and below the player the NPCs may spawn.  Lower these values for levels with indoors or low roofs[/]

  OTHER FUN OPTIONS:

  Item Spawning: Spawn weapons, Props, or Valuables around the level on level load, to add to the variety of fun!  Fully configurable with distances and quantities

  Companions: Spawn up to 3 companions who will help you fight. Live your Dungeons and Drag
