OK, before I begin, This mod is a work in progress. Here are its current coders and skinners.
List of current coders:
1. Pyroprogramer (Head coder.)
2. ThaTwinkeh
3. EMPTY SLOT (Still hiring!!!)
List of current designers:
1. Karinth.....YAY! He's back!
2. Crontic
DONE RECRUITING.
This mod will make NPC's bend at you're will. It will also allow NPC's to grow and expand, much like the Millionaire mod, but not quite. The NPC's wont require you to gather resources to expand. They will have their own people to do that.
Here's what I've gathered so far.
OK, First of all we need to know how to spawn an NPC.
To spawn an NPC you need to press the "F4" key, which will put you into an NPC mode. Upon entering this mode
you are given a NPC"wand"(Or something like that.) Using the NPC wand will be easy. Just right click the mouse
while your cursor is over the block you want the NPC on. Then an NPC menu will appear(I'd like it to be the
same format as the start screen minus the background.), on this menu there will be options such as
1. Naming the NPC
2. Making it male or female
3. choosing it's skin.
4. choosing it's function such as trader or civilian etc. (I'll make a list of major ones down the page.)
5. Weather or not it will "Colonize" (also explained down the page.)
6. Choosing what it will say. (Speech trees now a confirmed idea.)
7. If it will have quests or not. (Select yes, then make them say something...Don't have it worked out completely.)
Time to explain the "Colonizing". As I wrote earlier, the option for colonizing will be on the NPC menu,
it will allow you to have both a male and female NPC made near each other, then they will go and build a
house. Once the house is done they will have two children, a boy, and a girl. This will allow them to grow
as a colonie faster. both children grow and repeat the process. When the two NPC's are together the female
will follow the male. They will both be renamed King, and Queen (And be givin a Crown or tiara, which makes then recognized as a leader.) Each colonie
will have it's NPC's jobs chose at random. (Chosen when they grow up to an adult.) Once a colonie has
more than 20 NPC's they will start a faction. Other colonies near this faction will be attacked and looted.
Once a faction is started 1/4 of the colonies men will become fighters, and fight in the wars.
I'm not quite sure how all this will work out, but I've come up with this moving function.
When an NPC is all made and worked out, you will be presented an NPC movement "wand".
To use the wand you right click the NPC you want to move, and then hit the blocks you want it to move around on.
Once this is done you will be given another menu screen designed for movement options.(Again the same format as the rest
of Minecraft.) these options are:
1. Path - Allows NPC to walk freely among the blocks chosen.
2. Patrol - Allows NPC to move from end to end of the blocks chosen.
3. Radius - Gives the NPC a block radius around the block it spawned on in which it can move.(from 10-250 blocks.)
4. Free - Gives the NPC the ability to move around freely, like any other mob.
5. follow - Makes the NPC follow you.(To make an NPC follow another NPC click the NPC you want to follow then click the other NPC.)
6. Stationary - NPC stands still.
All NPC's will attack mobs that come to close.
NPC CLASSES
1.Civilian-Helps start a colonie.
2.Trader-Will sell what is in his inventory to you.(With some sort of currency maybe?)
3.Guard/fighter-Will protect it's colonie or anyone he is set to follow.
4.Farmer-Farms crops like water melon and wheat.
5.Farmers wife-Will gather what the farmer grows and give it to the local trader.
6.Woodcutter-Will cut trees and give half of the wood to the trader(The other half goes to his chest)
7.Miner-Will stay in his mine for days then come out with materials.(Makes a 2x2x3 step mine.)
8.Cook-Will cook all the food gathered.
9.Rancher-Will go and kill all animals near his colonie.
10.Blacksmith-Will make items out of the wood and ores found by the woodcutter and miner.
Here is all of the skins made by Cronic and Karinth.
i am very new to coding but i might be of assistance i can also test versions of the mod send me a pm if you are intersted i will probobly forget about this post and just so you know i am 13
So, you cannot code or do anything? Just an idea? Also, I cannot code, but would be happy to test any early versions!
No, not an idea. And I'm going to learn textures. I'll make a list of people who want to help.
As soon as we get enough modders, I'll give more information.
The only modder we have is Flalfla2. He made the "Simple NPC's" mod. Might wanna check that out also. Also he won't begin coding until he's done with his current mod. Therefore we will only do very few simple things first.
i am very new to coding but i might be of assistance i can also test versions of the mod send me a pm if you are interested i will probably forget about this post and just so you know i am 13.
I am also 13, and we need all the help we can get. I'll PM you more info as soon as I have it from The head mod (Flalfla2)

I could POSSIBLY help with textures if that's alright..
*EDIT* You misspelled functional on you're title..
I'm 12 and I don't misspell things THAT badly. Also, I fix problems once they have been pointed out.
Same here, only I'm 13. I like the idea, but a lot of grammar and spelling mistakes. I can be your text editor, if you wish. I can edit any spelling mistakes in your posts if you PM me before you post it, and I will edit it and correct any mistakes. Then, after I respond with the edit, you post it. This should only apply to large and important posts, if you agree.
Edit: This is directed at Boing, not you, pookaguy.

As far as I can see that's my only mistake..and maybe a few errors with commas. (Because I'm new to typing.) And also that problem can't be fixed. Once you've made the title, it stays the title.

I'm sorry, but I could do without one, Thank you though :smile.gif:!
I would like to help I'm 14 and I'm an OK skin creator i also got the basics of modding down.
Okay! That would be great, we still need ALL the help we can get. Just PM with any details you want to add about you're past experience with skinning and modding. Also, if you want a job you could begin making the skins for a few of the classes. If you don't feel up to it, then just PM me about doing any before hand modding and I'll find something.
I still like this idea, it gives you more control then Millenare while still providing some automation.
You're NPC mod idea has all of my main functions (Besides a few.) in it. The fact that you can't colonize makes it a lot less than what I'm looking forward to. You also can't select movement options. Nevertheless, you still have a good idea. And thank you for the support. It's greatly appreciated.
I feel this mod is quite useless to be made considering notch has hired a prof. AI coder for the NPCs (and hope to god he works on all other mobs)
Haha, I guess it might be for you. But what about the people who want their own Adventure map? Or, maybe a RPGish server.
Even a hostile type attitude helps a mod become better, so Thank You!
Thank you everyone for you're support and ideas, and help!
Alright, I have begged my parents to allow me to download a modeling program to this computer. My begging worked. I do not know if you are still recruiting people to work, but I can model and possibly skin for you. Just PM me with a responce if this app is accepted (It is below this message), and give me a brief description of what you want me to model and skin:
IGN: Crontic
Name: Michael
Age: 17
Modeling Experience: 3 months of modeling experience.
Skinning Experience: 7 years of basic skinning for multiplayer, three months of texture packing, and 1 month of model skinning.
Why I would be a good canidate: Because I am willing to work for hours straight, and I do not give up on tasks.

AHA! Finally a professional response..lol.
I sent you a PM not to long before you posted this. It has basically what I want done right now. And, of course, you're accepted I'll add you're name to the designers list. And good luck! If you need anything respond to my PM and I'll help.

Hi
Same here, only I'm 13. I like the idea, but a lot of grammar and spelling mistakes. I can be your text editor, if you wish.

It would be great if you did a Youtube series on this! (When it's done, of course.)
