Getting started

Install

1. Turn EAC off in the game launcher (the mod runs code).
2. Copy the DSD_NPCUtilities folder into the game's Mods folder: ...\steamapps\common\7 Days To Die\Mods\DSD_NPCUtilities
3. Multiplayer: the server and every player need the same version installed.

To check it loaded, open the console (F1) and type dsdnpc list. You should get an answer instead of "unknown command".

Meet an NPC

NPCs come from the mods that use this framework, or from the console. To try one right away:

dsdnpc spawn dsdNpcTestSurvivor
