Purpose and functionality

• .npcConfig500.1s – stores global variables that provide information for .[npcExist] and .[npcAction] scripts.
• .botProfile500.1s – contains the profile bio and photo if applicable for your NPC. Regardless of whether you want to go to the trouble of providing this info, the card is still required.
• .botOutfits – stores the names of 11 outfits (avatar appearance sets), as you want the names to appear in the blue drop down menu.
• 11 outfit cards – these store details of each outfit in .xml format.

Outfit notecards

The contents of outfit cards are created by the NPC Engine, however you need to create the blank cards first for the system to use.

Simply drop 11 blank notecards into the NPC Engine and name them .outfit1 through to .outfit11. Once your engine is up and running, the .xml file will automatically save over each blank card when you use the “Save Outfit” function.

Here is an example of how the contents of your NPC Engine will look once everything has been added to it.

Other components

Several scripts, notecards and other contents are necessary for the NPC Engine to function. Visit the main IruMoto NPC Engine page for full information.

Extra Notes

When you edit a notecard, you will need to reset the script for the changes to take. This is best done by using the Reboot button on the blue menu. This will ensure that any NPC that the script has rezzed will be killed BEFORE the script is reset, thus ensuring that your NPC isn’t duplicated by mistake.
