Requirements: Python installed
PyQt6 installed (py -m pip install PyQt6)
Tutorial:
1. Turn on brain
2. Open a map
File → Open
Pick a map_jangjuk*.xns (bamboo map example)
3.Find the NPC you want to replace
Use the Search box (type NPC ID or part of name)
4.Click the NPC ID in the list that you would like to change
5.Click the "Copy NPC from another XNS file"
Select the map you wanna copy the NPC from ( in our case shaolin base or map_sorim.xns)
(You want to edit npc ID : 21050 from bamboo for example into ID 3115 from shaolin base and all its components so we will open shao map using the copy npc from another xns feature.)
On source unique ID = the npc you want to end up with (in my case, shaolin skill trainer ID 3115)
so after entering id 3115 and loading the correct map in copy npc (shao base) then i can replace succesfully the NPC.
Tick all options:
Copy basic fields = makes it the new NPC (ID + classes/trade/relations)
Copy name + role = copies text shown in game
Copy scripts = copies dialog/quest/shop/trainer behavior
Preserve target location = keeps the NPC spawn spot (recommended)
Hit OK
File → Save
Pack everything inside VR_ENVIRONMENT.XP and copy that in game launcher, NPC should be swapped succesfully whitout breaking of bytes
When you are done, dont forget to add the npc and skill list into the nfofile npc scripts
( If you want to improve the code and reupload, you are welcome to ! )
This will not change your npc skin, just give you the interface of the desired npc and its functions!
.xns .xzi etc templates got us very far but 010 editor is kinda weak, hope you enjoy it and many thanks to the original coders of the map templates ! <3
