Stendhal NPCs

• Existing NPCs
• New NPC Ideas
• Coding NPCs

We want to collect ideas for NPCs on this page. The NPCs do not necessarily have to be part of a quest or having a shop. Some NPCs might just be useful to make the world more lively. The NPCs on this page should be ordered by the place where they are living.

The page is split into sections for each region in Stendhal. Please add new NPCs into the right section.

Each NPC should be structured as followed:

• name
• description - for when you 'Look' at them
• place - where in the given region should the NPC be
• path - describe a rough path this NPC could follow in his zone
• dialogue - describe the replies of the NPC when interacting with players
  • greeting
  • offer
  • help
  • job
  • quest
  • add other keywords if you want to add more replies on special topics
  • bye

Ados

One more point to the path and behave of the NPCs. We should add more houses that are locked, but the NPC can enter them (by teleporting) and walk out later to go another way or the way back. Ados need more houses anyway. -Laguz-

Ados Market is going to be quite crowded, so there should be many new NPCs who just walk around, look at things from the market stands and maybe bring home their purchased things to the city. They should be quite talkative so they can fill the place with life. The same should be done with NPCs in whole Ados City. -Storyteller

Carrier

A strong man who works as a carrier.

Name

Newton

Description

Newton looks like he is really strong and can carry heavy items.

Place

0_ados_city_n2 at around the boxes and the market stand at (19,13)

Path

(19,13) (19,10) (18,10) (19,10) (19,8) (20,8) (19,8) (19,11) (18,11) (19,11) (19,9) (20,9) (19,9) (19,12) (18,12) (20,12) (18,12) (20,12) (18,12) (20,12) (18,12) (18,13) (11,13) (11,12) (11,13) (19,13)

Dialogue

• greeting: Hey!
• offer: I don't know if I'll be able to #help you carrying your items or do some cargo loading for you within the next time, because I still have another #job to do.
• help: Oh, I can't help you at the moment, sorry. Soon more #merchants and traders will #arrive and the #market #stands have to be ready then.
• job: I'm setting up these #market #stands and also carry boxes with different goods to their places.
• quest: I don't have a quest for you, I'm just doing my #job here.
• merchants: There are already a few merchants here at Ados market. Just have a look around, they offer a lot of different things.
• arrive: It's said that more #merchants will arrive soon, but I don't know exactly when.
• market stands: Setting up these stands is a lot of work. Some of them are quite big and these boxes are heavy.
• bye Bye!

Idea: This NPC is setting up the market stands in Ados market. He should get a new path every new release to show the progress of his work. When at some point all stands are set up (and there are merchants at every market stand), this NPC could do another cargo carrying job (maybe at the docks or at some construction site etc.) Therefore he simply gets new conversation texts and a new place. He could also do a cargo carrying job for players (where the player has a quest to carry some heavy load to some place, but is too weak for that, so he has to find someone who is strong enough to carry it. For a fee, this NPC will agree to carry the cargo to it's destination then, that should be a repeatable quest.)

The existing NPC Barbarus should have a dialogue topic where he is remembering and talking about this NPC when his name is mentioned, which makes it more realistic then if both know of each other.

Beer Buyer/Seller

Name

(none yet - The beer buyer/seller)

Place

0_ados_city_n2 at (32,20)

Path

none (maybe there can be a path but it doesn't need to be one)

Dialogue

• greeting: Hello! Nice to see you.
• bye: I hope you come back soon.
• offer: (note: This depends on the buyer/seller mode.)

Buyer mode: I buy and sell beer. At the moment I haven't got so much beer so I need some more.
Do you have some beer?

yes: Oh, great! I will give you 15 money for it, is that okay? (value can be different)

yes: Thank you! Here is your money.

Seller mode: I buy and sell beer. At the moment I don't buy beer because I have enough so come
back later if you want to sell some. But do you like some cool beer now?

yes: One beer is 20 money. Do you want to buy it? (value can be different)

yes: Here is your beer! Enjoy it!

• help: I can help you if you want to buy or sell some beer. And well, it's always a good idea to have a look around at the market and to speak to the people because often they have some interesting news.
• job: I am a merchant. I buy and sell beer.
• task/quest: If I am low of beer, you can bring me some.

Note

This NPC needs a special code. He only sells beer in one half hour and buys beer in the other half hour.

Fish Seller

Name

(none yet - The fish seller NPC)

Place

0_ados_city_n2 at (52,27)

Path

none

Dialogue

• greeting: Fresh Fish! Fresh Fish!
• bye: Have a sunny nice day!
• offer: I can offer you some very fresh fish! It has just been caught!
• help: Maybe you should look for the fisherman Fritz, he is down there at his hut. Normally he delivers fish to me but sometimes he is busy with repairing his net. And well... if you find him sleeping, tell him he better should get at work before I run out of fish here!
• job: My job is selling fish. Fresh fish of course! You only get fresh fish here.
• task/quest: I have no task for you but if you want to do something helpful, you could look for the fisherman Fritz down there at his hut. If he is fishing, everything is alright. If he is sleeping... well, get him at work!

Note for buying

Before you can buy something, this NPC needs to get a delivery from fisherman Fritz. You have to tell fisherman Fritz that he should catch some fish and if he caught some, he delivers them to this NPC. There is a special number of fish, for example if fisherman Fritz has caught 5 fish, this NPC also only can sell 5 fish.

Dialogue if this NPC can sell fish:
buy fish: I have got (number of availiable fish) fish for sale. How many do you want to buy?
buy 1 fish: 1 fish costs (for example) 20 money. Do you want to buy it?
yes: Thank you! Here is your fresh fish!

Dialogue if this NPC cannot sell fish:
buy fish: Oh sorry, I am out of fish... I need to get a delivery from fisherman Fritz before I
can sell fish again. Maybe you should look for him, if he already caught some.

Note

This NPC needs a special code, because he can only sell what he really got as a delivery before.

Old Fisherman

Name

Fritz (the fisherman NPC) (NPC already added)

Place

In 0_ados_city_n2 somewhere around (67,79)

Path

path in CVS added

CVS-File

oldfishermannpc

Dialogue

• greeting: Ahoi!
• bye: See you, matey! And be careful there on this slippy ground!
• help: Well, I only catch the fish and deliver them to the market in the north. There you can buy it.
• job: I am a fisherman. For many, many years I went fishing every day. There have been dangerous storms I had to get over and some reeeeeally big fish which almost drown my ship, but of course I always was able to catch them! Hehe! I also deliver the fish to the market.
• task/quest:
• offer: I can try to catch some fish for you, if you want.
• catch: Before I can go fishing, I need some items... For every 5 minutes I try to catch some fish, I need 150 money (value can be different) and something to drink after work... Let's say 2 bottles of beer (can be different). How long shall try to catch some fish?
• catch 5: Okay, that'll be 150 money and 2 bottles of beer. Do you have it?
• -> yes: Thanks! I will try to catch some fish now. Please come back in 5 minutes.

Note

This NPC needs a special code. He also really walks to the fish seller NPC at the market and delivers the fish after he has caught it. If he has nothing to do he does different things, like sleeping, repairing the net etc. It is according to the time and to randomness how many fish he will catch. Maybe he can maximum catch the double number of fish that time he is fishing, for example if he fishes 5 Minutes he can catch 10 fish on maximum. So the possibility is from 0 to 10 fish. If he is fishing a longer time there should be a minimum number of fish, because otherwise it would be possible to let him catch fishes for let's say 30 minutes and he really has no luck and gets 0 fish. I don't know if that is good, but let's see...

Kalavan City

Personal Trainer (Guard)

This NPC should allow you to switch from a "normal" mode to a "train" mode. Normal mode: (the way stendhal now works with characters) Train mode: when you kill an enemy the xp points you would earn will not added to your level-xp points but to the skill with lower value (so if def < atk the xp would be added to def. If they are equals they would be added to attack). Quest reward should be not effected by train mode, so xp would be added to level xp points (but however also quest could be effected by train mode if someone thinks it is better to do so). Specials: the switch could cost money - for example 3000 money

Don't know if it is possible to implement such a thing, but could be a nice options for those ones who have low skills and don't want to train

Name

Place

(none yet - A place outside Kalavan City I think, but could be elsewhere perhaps Ados - better if not a too hard place to reach for a lev < 80)

Dialogue

• greeting: Hello! May I help you?

yes: (same as "help")

• bye: Come back again if you need it
• offer: none

• help: You are currently in (normal/train) mode. I can change your current mode to (train/normal) mode. See (stendhal site page) for more details. Do you wanna to change your current mode? (It will cost only 3000).
• job: I am an old soldiers who train heroes to become even stronger
