- Oregon 2: Last Hope
- Lostly Island
- Frontier – American Old West

Standard monuments
This item of the plugin settings is used for appearing NPCs in all standard monuments. All these settings are located in the Monument folder (oxide/data/BetterNpc/Monument). Each file in this folder corresponds to a standard monument
If there is no standard monument file in the folder, you can create it (you need to name the file the same way as the standard monuments on the map inside the game). You can copy the settings from any other standard monument
Configuration parameters:
- Enabled? [true/false] – It allows to enable/disable the appearance of NPC on the monument. If you need NPCs appearing on the map and don’t need it on another map, you can use this option simply
- The size of the monument – this parameter contains two values. It is the length and width of the monument. This parameter is necessary for random appearance of NPC on the monument and indication of limits of removal of standard NPCs on the monument (if it is necessary)
- Remove other NPCs? [true/false] – It deletes the standard NPCs inside the limits of this monument
- Presets – It is a list of all the NPC presets to appear on the monument (the description of the NPC preset settings is located below)
Custom monuments
This item of the plugin settings is responsible for the appearance of NPCs on custom monuments. All these settings are located in the Custom folder (oxide/data/BetterNpc/Custom). Each file in this folder corresponds to a custom monument
If you have bought a map with already configured NPC appearance files for custom monuments you will copy these files into the Custom folder. If you want to create and configure the appearance of NPC in your custom location on the map, you will use the command in the administrators’ chat /SpawnPointAdd {name} (see the description of this command below in the instruction)
Configuration parameters:
- Enabled? [true/false] – It allows to enable/disable the appearance of NPC on the monument. If you need NPCs appearing on the map and don’t need it on another map, you can use this option simply

Yes The NPCs do use rockets, however they will only use them when players are inside a base or behind built defenses for the NPC to raid.

Reload the plugin and check closely the loading messages. It is likely that a folder or some files are missing.
Otherwise this may be indication of other plugins that are interacting with the hooks that the plugin uses to work on Facepunch events Chinook locked crate drops and airdrops.

is there a way to modify bleed damage?
-
There is not an option to modify bleed damage but I’ve added a note to consider it for future updates. I’ve never payed attention to whether changing damage though so if you have not yet you could experiment with that. If you already have and did not notice a change though we will have it in our notes to consider as the plugin goes through update consideration.
-
thanks. i would really appreciate that. our server will be using relatively primitive weapons, at least initially, and that bleed damage just takes people out very quickly. i’d love the option to modify and/or turn it off completely for some npcs.
thanks for considering it. :)
-
Absolutely, thank you for the feedback and idea. To be completely transparent I just provide support, KpucTaJl will have the final say and is the developer. But that being said I am sure he will consider it as well. Just don’t want to mislead anyone into thinking it’s my plugin I just do a lot behind the scenes and am on the team so to speak. English is my 1st language which it is not for K so I am the first line of support and answers.
Thank you again for sharing! Stay tuned!
-
I use Damage Control from Umod to adjust all the damage types
-
Has not been updated in a long time but if it works it works! Thank you for the tip slash suggestion.

-
I have NPCs stuck in mid air has anyone experienced this? They are usually next to monuments
-
Most frequent reason this is seen is because you have custom files that are enabled on a different map than they were created for. Make sure to disable custom files if you are changing maps.
-
-
My NPCs stopped respawning, tried to reload the plugin, and they just wont spawn back, thoughts ?
-
Check the console messages closely when you are reloading the plugin for errors or for the profiles to stop loading in. Did you make any changes recently? It may be easier if you’d like to join the Mad Mapper Discord and create a ticket there. You can tag me and the developer there. It will be easier to share the console response and to investigate the issue further. If you made any changes recently that is where I would start first. Otherwise looking closely at the loading messages should give a hint.
-
-
Do we need to reload these files to our oxide folders when you do an update?
-
The update notes will generally give you a note if you need to do anything like this. If you simply need to update you should only need to replace the CS file (plugin file) which will automatically reload the plugin as well when you put it onto the server. And you should be good to go!
-
Thank you!
-
You are welcome, have fun with it!

Hi, need to know , i use betternpc, i want to setup same npc for T1 monuments, another npc group for T2 and third group for T3, can i copy one i do and paste in monuments folder i want to do same ?
-
You absolutely can. What I recommend is just to be VERY careful how you are doing that. Each monument will have different positions and sizes. So you’ll want to only copy and paste the section that has the NPC settings like what they are wearing using for weapons and their loot, those sections are fine. Just be careful not to paste spawn locations from file to file, and use something that is validating the file as you do it.
Otherwise just be sure when you reload the plugin to ensure all of the files load successfully. If you get an error somewhere you should pretty easily be able to see when and where the error occurred so you can get into that file and fix it. If you get stuck just grab the default file from the download, replace it, and make your changes again.

Hello , i setup npc in biome , they are here , but when i fight them, i take no damage, only bleeding. Why ?
-
Check the plugin or plugins you might be using to control damage such as TruePVE. Also review the data file configuration. Have you customized those biome files? Perhaps you lowered their damage. What weapon are they using?
I would create a ticket in the Mad Mapper Discord or in Lone Discord otherwise. Either place you can tag myself and KpucTaJl to look into this more and you can share files and everyone will be notified faster of messages when we are tagged.
If this is different than with other NPCs in other places especially also from BetterNpc then look at that particular file. It is also worth double checking when the plugin is loading that it does not encounter any errors and shows that it loads all of the different files.
-
-
Any way to make these guys drop their weapons when they die?
-
You can add it to their loot table.
-
Thanks!
-
You’re welcome, have fun with it!
-

-
-
Amazing plugin! a few questions though, can you set different weapons for the NPCs of the same spawn file? also is there anyway to make certain NPCs of a different spawn file only attack when attacked? Im using this plugin in a roleplay capacity and would love it if i could make certain areas have NPCs that only attack if attacked by the player first (: thank you
-
It is easiest and most consistent to make separate presets to create different kits for NPCs in one profile.
And for the other part of the question the NPCs sense range is largely effects their ability to identify and attack players so lowering this is the best way to have them act more friendly until provoked.
-
oh okay, thank you so much! So if i set the sense range to like 0 would that make them not attack until provoked?
-
Correct it would work like that. I generally like to still give them a little bit of sense range but that is essentially how it works. Have fun with it!

Hi i am not getting it right where you have to add number starting @ 1 and where the npc must apear. When i add /SpawnPointAddPos {number} {name}
It only takes number 1 and not 2, I neet to add few snipers and then few soldiers. Not getting this right i only have to create more than 1 file for each npc.-
The number is for the preset. So 1 is for 1st preset, 2 is for 2nd preset. It’s not positions. You keep using the same number over and over. If you use the number 1 five times and use the same command, it will add those five positions to the 1st preset. Hope that makes sense. If there is no 3rd preset, then if you try to use the number 3 it won’t work. Try again with this in mind and let me know if you have any other issues.

There are a few things that may lead to this error. The most common is that the Custom folder does not get moved into the server because it is empty. The folder needs to be able to be read even if it is empty. Check this first.
If the folder is present then check all of the other folders and files to ensure none are missing. The loading messages when you reload the plugin can also help point things out that may be missing or have an error. All folders and files must be present, and can be enabled or disabled if any are not desired.
-
-
Hello, is it possible that this plugin needs an update, it does not appear to be working atm since wipe?
-
Reload the plugin and check the loading messages for any errors, or any during the server running that could indicate an issue. Let us know what you find and if nothing else feel free to jump into the Mad Mapper discord and create a ticket so we can help look into it.
-
-
I downloaded the latest version of NPC Spawn as I just purchased Better NPC and the cs is empty? I used the link on the store
-
This message seemed to just pop up recently. Are you still having any issue with this? Be sure to join the Mad Mapper Discord if you have not yet and create a ticket there where you can tag us. I’ve seen this happen before where a message appears with an earlier date, maybe you only submitted recently, I hope so at least.
If you are still having any issue try fresh installs of both BetterNpc and NpcSpawn. Make sure when you install BetterNpc that you bring over all of the folders and files. If any empty folder is not created manually create it. The error should tell you what it’s looking for if anything is missing.
-
-
Great plugin.
Is it possible to set a schedule of the npcs that spawn?. For instance the first day of the wipe there is 20 in total on the map, the second day there is 40 , third day is 100 and so throughout a weekly schedule
-
There is not currently a configuration option for anything like this, though you can change numbers any time so theoretically you could just change amounts on certain configuration files to do this yourself as the wipe progresses. I will add to our notes the idea though for future update ideas and requests.
-
-
What is the best platform to raise an issue with this plugin.
I have been having issues with some of the ai spawning at monuments that are set to false as well as some being invincible(i have tried contacting via the discord ticket system but have not received a response)
-
The Mad Mapper Discord is usually the best. Granted replies are not able to be immediate in some instances. Today was a global wipe day for example so it was what normally will be a busy day for Rust developers, mappers, and staff. Try to use one method, no matter what you use we will get back to you I assure you.

IOException: Permission denied Help plz
-
Can you go into more detail about where that error is coming up?
Permission denied could mean you might want to set up an FTP connection and make sure you have permissions set for folders needed.
But depending on what this is and what you find out, feel free to drop into the Mad Mapper Discord and create a ticket to look into it further.

We recently purchased XDQuests and we have just 1 issue the better npcs in Tunnel and Cargo dont count as ‘scientists’ I wondered if I can change that somehow? I was going to disable those particular ‘betternpcs’ but strangely each data file begins with ‘enabled : false” am I reading it wrong? Cheers and thanks in advance
-
How do I change the scientist type? As every NPC is reading as a heavy?
-
The NPCs will use one main base type, by default as you noticed it’s heavy scientists.
You can change this in the NpcSpawn configuration if you want to use a different NPC as base.

BetterNPC and NPC Spawn are my only NPC plugins. and i think they’re the only plugins that would generate the offending entities.
i’m not sure how long this has been an issue, as i was wiping quite regularly earlier on. but now that we’re doing 2 week wipes, towards the end of the 2 weeks my server constantly crashes. the problem is that there are thousands of weapons on the server by that time.
we have 3-6 occasional players – meaning they play a couple times a week. and given the play style, the number of entities on the server has been drastically reduced. we’re one week in and i have 125k entities. last wipe, i had 300k entities before the two week period and had to wipe.
as of today, 1 week in – here are my top entities:
#1 – bow_hunting.entity x 7893#2 – pitchfork.entity x 4680
#3 – spear_wooden.entity x 4284
#4 – paddle.entity x 3766
#5 – machete.weapon x 3274
#6 – knife.combat.entity x 3255
#7 – skinningknife.entity x 3199

#31 – compound_bow.entity x 916
#32 – crossbow.entity x 909
#33 – semi_auto_rifle.entity x 888
#34 – scientistnpc_heavy x 887
i need to fix this issue. if it’s not one of these plugins, would you have any idea what may be causing the problem? is anyone else that’s using these plugins having the same issue?
thanks! :)
-
The thing that makes me think this is not NpcSpawn or BetterNpc is I feel like we would be hearing several reports.
The first thing I recommend is going through any and all plugins you have to check their versions.
If everything is up to date then I would look at plugins that reward the items you are seeing above. I want to say it could somehow be coming from something like RaidableBases perhaps, but I feel again that they would be getting a lot of reports if that were the case it’s a very popular plugin. But essentially I think it’s more likely that it’s a shop plugin or rewards from an event plugin that are not being cleared properly when the plugin reloads or cycles.
I recommend Mad Mapper support tickets if you’d like to dig more into this.
-
-
Add functionality to the config – if the NPC has explosives, they can use them if a player runs into a house: true/false.
-
This is already an option, they use rocket launchers for example when a player is behind defenses like a base. Is there something you’ve tried to use that is not working?

Check your files as the thing I am noticing is that it is showing the monument to load twice. Perhaps you have an extra file with the same name?
If you customize the files as well it is worth checking that file and for files around it as well. Ensure there are no missing or extra files, and if you customize the files you may want to try a fresh install even if you make a backup first, to see if the issue goes away, confirming that one or more files have an issue.
-
Thank You! I will do exactly that.

Seems to do it with Default Data files aswell. I only have 1 Better NPC data folder with single files.

Okay so you just have something going on with your console then I suppose where it’s repeating things. I’ve seen it before but it’s been awhile so I don’t remember what causes it.
As it’s loading it seems like it’s running into a config that may have problems, as you get an NRE after Large Harbor loads. Do you customize the files? If so there may have been a mistake in one of them.
I would recommend potentially a fresh install of the data files. Also if you would you could jump into the Mad Mapper Discord and create a ticket there. Tag me and the developer and we can sort this out.
-

Any time, sounds like a plan!

Thank You, I have opened a ticket on Discord.

Can you have NPCs not appear with personal supply drops, but still appear with random supply drops?
-
is it normal they are 50 feet in the air at Airfield ? they are flying
-
This is actually how it works they do not appear with personal supply drops.
If you have another plugin that gives supply drops and they are appearing you’ll want to reach out to that developer as the drops from that plugin are being called similar to a normal supply drop.
-
Check to see if you have any custom NPC presets still enabled from another map. Or try replacing the Airfield file from a fresh download if that issue is persisting. That is not normal.
-
i put everything in Airfield to (false) still spawning, i completely remove the json file of airfield, reload plugin, theres still NPC 50 feet in the air flying over the airfield . anyone know how to turn them off on that loccation ?
-
i do have coples of files from different maps in the Custom folder. should i delete them ?
and you have a discord ? i can send you a screenshot.Thanks
-
found it thanks
-
Awesome, by the way make sure not to remove one of the main files, just disable it. So put the Airfield file back if you have not already.
Glad you were able to find the custom file! Got it removed and back to normal now?
Also we do have a Discord there is a link in the ReadMe file. It is the Mad Mapper Discord.

Apologies that the replies seem to just make a new message here at the moment. If anyone has issues I recommend the Mad Mapper or the Lone.design Discords for better support.

Does the BetterNPC Plugin support the Rust Carbon server?
I would like to know if it has full compatibility even on a Rust Carbon server, with normal non-custom map,
Thank you. -
To my knowledge Carbon should be compatible with everything. I have not heard otherwise in a very long time, I don’t have a Carbon server to test this on but if you would run into any issues just let us know. The Mad Mapper Discord may be best if you would like to join, so that you can create a ticket and get a faster response, without having to wait for your post to get approved.

Plugin FAQ – How do I use this .zip/.7z file I just purchased on my server?
• First, you want to unzip the file. You can do so by just double-clicking it to open, then drag the contents to the desired location (you may need to install an external unzipping software if you don’t already have one such as 7zip or winrar)
• Next you will find either a structure of folders or just the .cs file itself (it’s the actual plugin file itself).
• After that just install the .cs (plugin file) into your …/oxide/plugins/ folder where you will install plugins you ever need to.
Additionally, here’s a great video that easily covers adding a plugin to your server if you need! https://youtu.be/yWC_p97FhQA
• Installation is not included with any products on the site, however, if needed we may assist if you reach out to our support.
Currently all products on Lone.Design will be contained within a zipped file which is the .7z or .zip that you see. I believe windows 10 and up can unzip on its own without 3rd party tools, but in that case, if you’re unfamiliar with zipped files here are 2 programs I recommend to easily unzip zipped files.
Video On How to Zip and Unzip: https://youtu.be/Ep-L3PjBPCk (TechInsider Youtube Channel)
Zipping/Unzipping Tools
Winrar https://www.rarlab.com (I used to use for years, but works great!)

Todo sus trabajo se superan cada vez mas, tengo 6 eventos en mi servidor de este autor y todos funcionas excelente.
Debo destacar que este para mis gusto y de mis jugadores este supero por mucho todo los anteriores, brinda muchas horas para seguir luchando contra los Npc de diferente categorias, lo mejor es la compatibilidad con los demas plugins de tercero, desde las cajas, helicopteros y tanqueta. algunos PVE dicen que son muy dificiles pero se pueden ajustar sin problema.
Cambia por completo la dinamica de los servidores, otrogando multiple escenarios sin importan los grupos o de forma individual.
la ayuda del creador es fenomenal y por eso recomiendo un producto de tan buena calidad.
===============================================================
All his work is getting better and better, I have 6 events on my server from this author and all of them work excellent.
I must emphasize that this one for my taste and that of my players far surpasses all the previous ones, it provides many hours to continue fighting against the NPCs of different categories, the best thing is the compatibility with the other third-party plugins, from the boxes, helicopters and tank. some PVE say that they are very difficult but can be adjusted without problem.
It completely changes the dynamics of the servers, providing multiple scenarios regardless of groups or individually.
the help of the creator is phenomenal and that is why I recommend such a good quality product.

Paul Fieldhouse (verified owner) –
Love this plugin but unfortunately the NPC’s are just way to powerful in the default configuration. I run a server targeted at newbies and they are getting slaughtered lol. Even I and other very experienced players are having problems trying to clear monuments. I know that the NPC’s can be toned down but that is a mammoth task considering the number of config files. I will keep working on the settings but would suggest as default you turn them down again.
KpucTaJl –
Hi, the plugin’s data files have a huge number of settings, you can adjust the complexity of the NPC as you see fit. I created a standard configuration to show you what it might look like so that you have an example to configure. All players have different levels of play, I made it so that it was an average level. You said that they are complex, someone writes on the contrary that they are easy, it is necessary to make them more difficult. I made an approximate setup of the average player level for all buyers and gave a lot of opportunities to configure NPCs. Further, if you think that this level is difficult for you and your players, you can simply lower the difficulty level by changing the parameters in the configuration and configuring the NPC for your server

By far the best plugin for NPC’s. Setup is quick and easy. Make sure to edit number of spawns at each monument/road as well as their health and damage scale. By default these are all really high in a lot of areas. Config is easy to read and well laid out. Creator is quick to reply on discord and even updated a different plugin (death notes) to work in conjunction with this. Would 100% recommend!

KpucTaJl –
Hi, these NPCs can attack with melee weapons without problems. And also the NPCs have a large margin for the complexity of the battle, the complexity of the NPCs depends on how strong you make them in the datafile. Pay attention to the description that is attached to the plugin in the archive, each NPC configuration parameter is described in detail there. You can set up NPCs for both beginners and very experienced players who will not be able to kill even one NPC as a team. Pay attention to all the distances in the configuration, as well as the damage multipliers and HP of the NPCs

Make your PvE servers come to life. Without BetterNPC, and other plugins like Raidable Bases by Nivex, and some event plugins, PvE in Rust really just doesn’t work imo.
My only hopes are that the plugins are made to be even more configurable at some point (NPCs do not attack until they see you, no ability to place markers for NPCs in-game, etc…), and that there is support for animals and NPCs to fight eachother. Presently, bears and NPCs co-exist quite happily. Even so, this is not enough reason to give anything less than 5 stars for a review.

Very cool plugin, highly customizable!
Our players love having customized NPCs for every monument. Works great with the maps mentioned in the description!
Starting off the NPC are straight up blood thirsty killers, but with a bit of adjusting and customizing, we got it at the perfect balance.
Thanks, and great support as always!!

This plugin is pure AWESOME! very configurable, very adaptive. Add NPC’s anywhere you like, change their weapons, attire, roaming area, sensing range, weapon, names, almost anything you like to adjust, you can. I did have a few issue configuring them, BUT, when I asked for help in their discord, it was almost instant. What I couldn’t figure out myself, somewhere was there to help. There was more info available on their discord as far as setup and configs. Well worth the price.

We wanted to make a PVE focused server with some PVP and I have to say this plugin is pretty amazing. We have multiple NPC’s now at every single monument setup to even make a simple trip to the Supermarket a challenge. Thank you for this Amazing plugin!

The plugin is amazing but what happened today with the ia update was an insult to the costumers. Every plugin developer that uses npc had the professionalims to update their products before the update so server owners could do their job like its supposed to. But this developer decided to leave us waiting for 6 hours now unable to have our server running (yes, some of us need this plugin to put our servers online because we have custom monuments.) I wanted to buy the whole collection of these developers but the lack of respect, professionalism and communication that they showed to us makes me regret buying it. This is a business for them and for us too. This is wrong. If you are going to buy this plugin or any other that uses BetterNpc, know that someday when facepunch makes a change that breaks it, your servers will be in hands of people that dont care about your job. They are going to treat you like if the plugin was free. A terrible deception.

Top notch plugin. If you’re on the fence about purchasing, rest assured you will not be disappointed.
This plugin runs circles around other NPC plugins we’ve utilized on our server.
The amount of customizing and configuring that can be achieved while tailoring your server is ridiculous!
If you are running anything PvE and are looking for an NPC solution, look no further, this is the shit right here!

The best bot plugin I’ve ever seen. Very flexible settings, you can change everything from clothes and weapons to the characteristics of bots. You can set the spawn locations and loot of bots. Just an indispensable thing for a PVE server.

This plugin completely changes the idea of PVE in Rust! You can make the game quite challenging and interesting not only on the monuments, but even on the way to them! It will also be useful for PVP servers.

A pretty cool plugin with quite a bit of configuration options had a few issues getting the bots to spawn after server restarts but we seemed to have figured it out all in all not a bad plugin

Awesome plugin that players love. very customizable to fit any need. I’m using this plugin to make monument bosses as an all in one plugin. Dev and team is very responsive with problems and issues. recommend for any server owner that wants to spice up their server in a very customizable way!! 10/10

Super cool mod, great for tailoring bots just how you want them. the default bots are a bit crazy but still fun. They defiantly seem to “think” more like a player than a bot.

Trust me – you need this plugin for your server!

Honestly… I don’t know if I could ever go back to how my servers were before this mod… It is truly amazing.

I recently bought quite a few plugins here at LD and BetterNpc was one of them. I had a few issues getting everything set exactly how I wanted at first but after carefully reviewing the documentation the rest of the install and initial operation went very well. I did have an issue with getting economics to work and contacted KpucTaJl in discord and he helped me fix the issue extremely quickly. I’ve never had a developer get back in touch with me so fast. Excellent addition to the server.

This is definitely a MUST HAVE for either PvE or PvP. The functionality is amazing and adds more to the game! Extremely customizable. Dev team is very helpful and quick to assist with questions on their product. Highly recommend this plugin!

One of the first plugins I bought and still one of the best!
Let’s face it, the normal scientists are reloading most of the time and if you rust them – easy kills! Not so with this plugin which has so much control from what they wear to where you place them and what weapons and loot they have.
The developer is always keeping it up to date, and is the same author of NPCSpawn so forget the rest, BetterNPC is the BEST!
I recently started making my own maps and ran in to some issues with placement and was soon sorted via Discord communication.
Great work! If you love this then you will love BossMonster! Add bosses to monuments, abilities, etc.

If you’re not using BetterNPC, you are missing out. I love this plugin. Snipers make it more interesting, and the way these NPCs behave make the game enjoyable again. The vanilla NPCs are just blah. However with this plugin it brings them to life and adds something extra to the base game.
Even if this was your only plugin you added, this brings so much to the table. Very configurable as well!

Best plugin Ive added in a long time, our players were asking for more action (as we are PvE) this plugin most certianly did that. Controlling how many and where is easy so thank you KpucTaJl for an amazing job.
