@SleepyNotDead If i were to ever make him 3D, then it would be a custom model with an animation system. For example, something such as the Babadook. I can buy a model to use within Garry's Mod, and then rig it up or what not. However, I have no experience with any of that. So, adding that workload to the already complex (for me) systems creates burn out.

I could see the potential with a really creepy 3D model. I just want it to be a special model and not just something from gmod itself. I want my addon to be a whole package experience. A mod that offers something no other mod does. As of right now I have something amazing (imo).

I mean, I could look into it. I'm not really sure how feasible it is though. Maybe I can find someone who knows a lot about rigging/animations. Then include them as a contributor to the project. I could provide them the paid model. Then they could handle that part of development.

That's a shame..
I do hope you decide to do it at some point, i dont really agree with your reasons.
(aside from the difficulty of adding it, that is valid and i understand not doing it because of that alone)

A 2D sprite of sliding towards you is already kind of goofy, im not sure how a 3D model sliding towards you would look any worse, especially if its given a floaty animation.
(didn't mean actually make it noclip, just using those animations for a floating ghost kinda look)

Still an impressive nextbot though.
Fantastic work still.

@SleepyNotDead There are no plans to make him 3D. I'm not saying it’ll never happen, but we have other things to focus on right now. Keeping him 2D simplifies the already complex code. Making him 3D would just add extra work I don't feel like dealing with at the moment.

I get why some people want him to be 3D, but it would honestly just look goofy. It would be a model running or walking at you. Taking a model and making it “black” is a cool idea in theory, but it comes with its own problems.

If I just set it to "noclip," I imagine it would cause issues with the navmesh. And at that point, it's just a model in a pose sliding toward you, which would look goofy and kill the creepy vibe. The reason it’s unsettling is because it’s 2D. If it were 3D, I don’t think it would work the same. This Nextbot was built from the ground up to function as a PNG. I can’t just slide in a 3D model at this point in development.

Spawning like, a large horde of them is very fun lmfao
becomes chaotic
SleepyNotDead 10 Aug @ 7:31pm 
An idea if you ever do decide on giving it a 3D model.
A standard citizen playermodel, darkened and made to look like a shadow man, and give it the animations of an idle unarmed player using noclip, so it still creepily floats towards you without having to worry about walking anims.
SleepyNotDead 10 Aug @ 7:24pm 
This looks very impressive.
Really hoping its given a basic 3D model at some point though, only thing i dont like about it.

@Ghost Shadow Guy is in your pc. He is gmod, you can't kill him unless you want your session to be destroyed.
Ghost 23 Jul @ 1:43am 
Can it be killed by military addons? lol
bob 12 Jul @ 2:50pm

The EMF meter is from "Ghost Hunting Utils [SWEPs & SENTs]"

Hey, just so people know, if the mod doesn't seem to be activating and you can't find the nextbot and utility menu, it's likely because you have the original nextbot installed and enabled. Disable the original addon and it should work.
EnderTheMan7 18 Jun @ 11:05am 
no
Pie 17 Jun @ 11:02pm

EnderTheMan7 17 May @ 5:18pm

steven.smith5 26 Apr @ 8:13am 
like a tracker saying if it's close or not via beeping and glitching, aswell as making it only aggressive if looked into it's eyes
steven.smith5 26 Apr @ 8:06am 
but have some unique differences or events
steven.smith5 26 Apr @ 8:05am 
by that i mean
is just re-skinning it or giving another version which just uses the interloper model but has the same functions, (maybe can use sounds and stuff aswell as speaking in console)
steven.smith5 26 Apr @ 7:38am 
Can you make a interloper/umbrella men npc?
charlieauroe 21 Apr @ 7:30am 
can you make an addon based on the vashda narada from docter who?
mastlight 19 Apr @ 9:32am 
nvm just search
mastlight 18 Apr @ 10:32am 
does this replace the original or is it its own npc because i cant find it
VCDISABLED (Don't Talk To) 14 Apr @ 8:43am 
pair this up with a liminal map and lambda players, and woah you get a great experience.

Amazing addon man, and thank you for actually compressing the mod, a lot of the creators on here having mods that end up being 500 mega bytes just for a single npc pack because they dont compress.

@tonnkjh Been waiting for people to upload YouTube videos on it so I can see what maps people use.
Tonnkjh (She/They) 10 Apr @ 5:06pm 
I feel like this works for any map, a home, a dreamcore map, a ps1 style map
Reverie Flows  [author] 9 Apr @ 5:53pm 
@Knightly The settings are there.
Femboy Senver 9 Apr @ 4:48am 
so me and my friends installed this and i (host) tried to look at the settings but cant find them (and yes i looked in utility) but looking at the comments i seem to be the only one having this issue so was wondering if its a too many mods problem? idk tbh
