Awesome, looking forward to the next release - especially the grapple gun, I've got a few map ideas which would benefit from that no end.

Keep up the good work!

Whats a NPC_Merchant?

Yeah, what's npc_merchant? Will you be able to buy guns from him/her?

"Welcome, stranger!"
"Got some rare things on sale, stranger!"
"What are you buying?"

A mapper can place a merchant npc which can sell weapons and items to players. The list of sellable weapons and items will be in a script made by the mapper. The mapper then sets the script name in hammer and the merchant will sell those items. Prices are also defined in the script file.
When you press e on the merchant it will bring up the Merchants Buy Menu.
Since several players will be using the merchant at once, it might not be wise to have him speak.

Here are a few things i would do if i ever had the skill of being a coder or if its even possible,

make it so that npc's can pick up guns off the floor

make it so that npc's can use the physcannon and throw stuff at the enamy's

make a new animation for the gargantua so that it can throw stuff like DOG

make it so that if you are with friendly npc's you can give them commands to go places

hmm

Citizen npcs can pick up weapons. They will pickup weapons better than their own.
Physgun stuff is possible, but its a scary thought.
Garg has an animation to do something like this, not used tho.
Citizen npcs can be given commands like in SP.

Will you be able to have two (or more) merchants in one map with different stocks of items? If it isn't now, then make it possible! Otherwise you won't be able to have hidden merchants and such in your maps!

Also, will you as a mapper be able to set a limited number of each item that the merchant can sell?

Yes but they don't do those things in OC yet.

Hmm... The adding of the human assassin could pave the way for people to make the infamous combine assassin at some point. Considering they were going to be approximately the same, it shouldn't be too hard to code in into a later release, provided someone makes a better model.

I once saw a citizen picking up a pistol , while he had a ar2.

I almost cried.


Oh , and , kudos on zombine fixes

Need 2 more map ideas. I got 2 sketches i can post if so.

make a custom model for the merchant, like the RE4 merchant(AWESOME). also If you need a combine assasin, ask around a few other mods, they all have different ones they have made, some are ugly, some are good, just add them.

Valve released the Zombine's code in their latest update, so it should behave exactly like it does in ep1 now.
