RESpawnNPC

RESpawnNPC is a complete rework and expansion of the free SpawnNPC plugin, rebuilt with performance improvements, extended functionality, and full in-game UI management.

This version transforms the original concept into a modern NPC control framework with monument support, biome rules, event spawning, profile systems, advanced loot logic, and full custom map compatibility.

Built for PvE, PvP, Hardcore, Event, and Custom Map servers.

RESpawnNPC gives you full control over NPC spawning on your server using a powerful in-game UI.

Unlike the original SpawnNPC, this version supports better :

• Monument-based spawning

• Biome-based spawning

• Event-based NPC guards

• Custom spawn profiles

• Custom monument and custom map support

• Advanced loot systems

• Reward integrations

• Performance-optimized AI logic

All configuration can be handled directly in-game.

No manual file editing required unless you want to.

Core Features

• Monument-based NPC spawning

• Biome-based spawn control

• Event-based NPC spawning:

  • Supply Drops

  • Hackable Locked Crates

  • Bradley APC

  • Patrol Helicopter

  • Underwater Labs

  • Tunnel Entrances

• Custom Spawn Profiles

• Per-location spawn rules

• In-game Admin UI

• NPC radar debug tool

• ServerRewards

Rewards configurable per preset.

Getting a yellow console spam of this message since installing plugin on server. Didn't ever have it with the old SpawnNPC. I'm only using ZombieHorde to spawn random hordes. All monument spawns are set to false in zombiehorde. I'm letting RESpawnNPC handle the monuments. Any thoughts on what part of either of the plugins is causing the spam?

Is there a discord for support?

Just purchased and seems to be working however I note no NPCs at any lighthouses and see this in the console on reload:

Check the settings where it involves spawning zombies near/over water. If those are set to not allow it, you'll probably get the messages you are seeing.

Thanks. Documentation is terribly lacking for this plugin and seems the dev is not interested to monitor the forum for paying customers. No idea where this Discord server is suppose to be for support?

So cannot find any option for this and also have noted that many of the murderers around the map especially ones that should roam around the supermarket and gas station will wander towards a rock formation and basically just stick there unless someone gets very close to wake them. Also getting no spawns now at Harbor 2 either.

Not sure i'm confident to invest in further plugins from here given lack of documentation and interest to check the forums even just once a week. I mean, if you run a website and take money for products seems at least resonable to expect when questions are posted on forums or direct as a comment they would be answered at some stage. Disappointing.

Probably pointless to try post again for support but seems there is an issue after last Rust release. I note all free roaming murderer NPCs, zombies and surgeons are wandering towards hills and just stopping halfway up rocks and cliffs.There are none around the POIs as they are getting stuck and it's all of them not just a few.

Second to this, harbors seem to not be spawning NPCs at all, nor does Radtown.

I sent a message to Shiro in discord about your post.
