[TACZ] NPCs

by Corrinedev

[TaCZ] NPCs gives non-player characters full animations, loot tables and TaCZ gunplay that matches what a player can do with the same guns.

What it does

Neutral and enemy NPCs in this mod are fully animated and fire TaCZ guns from any addon pack, including rocket launchers, grenade launchers and flamethrowers. NPCs can wear armor, use PlayerAnimator animations and take player names and skins, so they can stand in for a configured character.

Behavior is set in the mod's config files. Each NPC's relationships, textures and equipment are defined there, and the tacznpc factions.json file maps teams to entity IDs so factions fight each other in real time. Custom loot tables and tags are added through datapacks and referenced from the config. The mod requires [TaCZ] Timeless and Classics Zero and [UNOFFICIAL] TaCZ 1.21.1 NeoForge Port, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, under the MIT License, and the project is not open source.

Key features

  1. TaCZ gun use

    NPCs pick up and fire TaCZ guns from addon packs the way a player would, including heavy weapons.

  2. PlayerAnimator and skins

    NPCs play PlayerAnimator animations and can be given player names and skins from the config.

  3. Configurable NPC definitions

    Config files define new NPCs with their own relationships, textures, equipment and a default loadout used when no other applies.

  4. Faction battles

    factions.json maps faction names to lists of entity IDs, so configured teams fight each other in real time.
