Background

Following up on #20 (Ecotale integration), the Ecotale developer has indicated they don't have short-term plans for NPC capability. They suggested exploring these community NPC mods instead:

Target Mods

NPC Dialog + NPC Quests Maker

NPC Dialog

Potential Integration Ideas

Faction NPCs

  • Faction recruiter NPCs that can invite players
  • Diplomat NPCs for proposing alliances/truces
  • Faction shop/vendor NPCs in claimed territory
  • Guard NPCs that enforce territory protection

Quest Integration

  • Faction reputation quests
  • Territory capture/defense missions
  • Resource gathering for faction bank
  • Rank promotion challenges

Context-Aware Dialogs

  • Dialog options based on faction membership
  • Different responses for allies vs enemies vs neutrals
  • Territory-aware greetings

Research Needed

  1. Analyze both mods' APIs and extension points
  2. Determine if they provide plugin hooks or events
  3. Check compatibility with HyperPerms for permission-gated dialogs
  4. Evaluate performance impact of NPC spawning in claimed chunks

Related Issues

This is a research/exploration issue. Implementation scope TBD based on findings.

                      2. Determine if they provide plugin hooks or events
                      3. Check compatibility with HyperPerms for permission-gated dialogs
                      4. Evaluate performance impact of NPC spawning in claimed chunks
                      Related Issues
                      This is a research/exploration issue. Implementation scope TBD based on findings.
