Ambient NPCs V2.0

Ambient NPCs V2.0

Adds NPCs around the map in places that were furnished, but for some reason had no one around.
V2 also overhauls Emerald Ranch, Lonnie’s Shack, and adds a Wapiti Camp.

The Heartland Update (version 2) is here !
– Overhauled Emerald’s Ranch : the General Store is open, a Butcher has opened shop, and the Saloon has re opened. Includes a free bed, free booze, and target practice.
– Lonnie’s Shack has seen some restoring, and a nice couple now lives there.
– A Wapiti Camp can be found at Brandwyne Drop.
– A familiar face added to MacFarlane’s ranch
– Some general bugfixing and testing : fully compatible with AMJM Transport
– A dude in a cave, idk, don’t worry about it

Notes:
– Please check that there always is just ONE XML FILE in your Maps/Autoload folder
– Opening MapEditor in game (F5) will mess up the animations. If you have a trainer that uses this key, please consider changing the key in the settings.
– The time resets to 8am when the map loads. Can’t do much about it
– Some odditiers can occur with PDO ( peds acting tired and not moving ). Nothing major.

Some places around the map are furnished and seem inhabited, but there’s no one around. I aimed to fix that.

This Map Editor file adds “Ambient NPCs” around the map. They’re (mostly) nice people that will just hang around ( also a cat ).
I’ve uploaded a map so that you know where they all are.

I didn’t touch any place that had “environmental storytelling” going around.

Note that they’re not as complex as default NPCs, and will not have a “schedule” like Vanilla NPCs do. They will also respawn everytime the game loads.

Requires Map Editor v1.6.1 | Open All Interiors
Add “MapEditor.asi” and the folder to your main install folder.
Then add my “MapEditor” folder into your main install folder and override.

A couple of notes:

– Map Editor is kinda weird sometimes. Please do not open the MapEditor menu or NPCs might behave in weird ways. If an NPC is frozen, or spawns on a roof, it will be fixed next time you load a save.

– There should be no incompatibilty with any mod that doesn’t use MapEditor. Notably, this works fine with Project New Austin and Buyable Properties. I also warmly recommend AMJM Transport and Ambient Gang – RDR Gang Addon !

– This touches a few places used in story missions, including a Bounty Hunter camp and Downe’s Ranch. However, this shouldn’t break anything. IF YOU ENCOUNTER ANY ISSUE, PRESS F5 and temporarily unload the map.
