Mbases.ini "character_density = 7" limit

So long as enough places are defined in the bar_hardpoint .thn I dont see why not. Give it a try

Huh, here’s something interesting. Use RPC instead of NPC and you’ll get Trent in a different place. With dual multiplayer, when the second character entered the bar, the first character changed position. Since only one window updates at a time, I couldn’t tell if it was dynamic, but I guess it would be. So if you could set that up on a server, if you suddenly move position you know someone else entered the bar…

Yeah, sorry, it’s in the thorn - things like Zg/RPC/mFloor2/01/A/Stand (unfortunately, Trent won’t sit). And as Thaddeus says, the limit is also defined in the thorn - you’ll actually need to create the new markers in order to place the new characters (in addition to increasing the density).

Sorting and separating the markers, removing the player and bartender, here’s what we have - 7 characters comprising 46 markers:

By separated, I meant I just added a blank line between each group.

My test simply involved replacing all NPC/mFloor with RPC/mFloor (in Manhattan). With dual multiplayer, when the second player entered the room and I switched back to the first window, Trent was in a different position. I think the important section might be the P, as when I tried with mTable, Trent only showed up in two positions.

Couldn’t really say how to add the markers - try the Bar Maker.

It appears only the A positions are used - copying the A cameras as B still didn’t show the NPC. So I renamed all the B/C/D entities with different numbers, set the density to 28 and got the result attached, since only 13 NPCs are defined at Newark.

If you want more, you’re going to have to create more NPCs (in mbases.ini). To do it properly, you’d also have to create all the cameras in the thorn (at 10 or 11 cameras per NPC, even just copying the existing cameras is a big job, let alone creating proper ones).

So you do a big job to copy many exist cameras to make those NPC show up?

You don’t need the cameras for them to show up, only if you want to see them when you talk to them.
