Description This mod adds Triggers and NPC characters to certain areas to allow talking NPC's. It will give more life to your server. This mod is based on SpawnerBubaku trigger idea. Installation You need to add -mod=@TalkingNPC to your server startup parameters. When you first run this mod, it will create a new folder called TalkingNPC in your server profile folder. The default config which is for the AoD map so make sure you make the edits for your map of choice. This mod works with any map. How It works In the config you can define trigger areas. When a player enters this area, your selected sound will play. The config is very descriptive so don't worry. Russian sounds begins with index 1, Czech sounds begins with index 501, English sounds begins with index 1001, Chinese begins with 1501, ambient sounds begins index 2001. Mod is compatible with old Trader and also with new TraderPlus. Next Days trader not supported. These npc have TNPC_ prefix in their classname. When you spawn this npc (using trader mod for example) at same postion like trigger, that npc is automatically assigned to trigger and is animated when talking. Numbers of sounds: - Russian: 57 - Czech: 90 - English: 209 - Chinese: 20 - Polish: 37 - Spanish: 60 - ambient sounds: 196 More sounds are coming soon. You can of course play own sounds, only limitation is your soundset must be named Talking_SoundSet<number>. Future plans - custom emotes Known Issues - ogg files from stalker are somehow broken and engine then does not recognize that playing is finished - this leads to not stop talking animation Further Info Mod was originally created for the server Renegade RP but is universal and can be used on every maps.

Where the load comes from

Event hooks carry 99.8% of this mod's structural load. 0.000 ms/s in all.

Counts how often each hook is dispatched and how many timers stay alive, not what the code inside does. Some rates are order-of-magnitude estimates; the methodology lists which.

Where this mod runs often

Hooks on per-frame and high-rate surfaces, with what their bodies call. Body work, not the hook itself, is what costs frame time.

Other findings

What this report can tell you

Which vanilla methods the mod hooks, which of them drop the chain, how often each hook fires, and which risky calls sit inside hot hooks.

What it cannot

How long hook bodies take, network cost, or engine-side load. Measured across live fleets, most server lag comes from the engine and world state, not mod script chains — a light footprint does not clear a mod of lag, and a heavy one does not convict it. Methodology.

Everything else

All 1 overrides

Surface is the dispatch tier the rubric can price (— = unpriced); server is whether the override exists on a dedicated server; super() shows whether the vanilla chain is preserved on a server.
