[ModAPI] Open up the classes related to the Animation Controller and Bone manipulation.
Under Consideration
Hey guys,
A bunch of them are already opened up, can you open up the rest so we can spawn npc's and manipulate their bones and tie them to animation controllers etc.
It would give modders some fun tools to make NPC's that could be controlled by the player or use as opponents to players during boarding operations etc. or just to make them do meme dances - because why not?
Cheers
I like this feedback
Imagine a npc ship mod that would spawn npc crew inside and when doing damage to the ship the crew would start repairing it. Would make much more alive npc ships in singleplayer :D

Thats actually what I orginally intended with the NPC crew mod, however I ran into issues when trying to access the above classes, I could make skinned entities, I could read their bones and I could spawn them into the game but I couldn't animate them since all that stuff is blocked off :(

That would be amazing! Boarding an enemy ship with your rifle and fighting NPC's that walk around inside would be so much fun.

I've been waiting for something like this since the game started. I'm not a modder, just a simple builder, only a couple of ships in the workshop, but what is the point to build a super cool battleship, that requires a massive crew, but not have the crew to run it?

PLEASE, when i started playing keen teased npcs. YEARS ago, still nothing.
It's what this game needed, they could have capped our build potential and worked on npcs and had a much more successful game.

Hey Keen, I don't tend to post on these issues EVER but I would absolutely love it of modders could create other entities to include in my game, from crew to creatures, Sektan has done some wonderful stuff by modifying your spiders and wolves, imagine what modders could do with greater access to these features, multiplayer could be enhanced by allowing players to have bots on their ships, single player would not feel so empty, we could create teeming stations with stores and missions etc etc, so please Keen, open the API for these guys, hell, they might come up with something you can include in vanilla if all goes well? I know you got your hands pretty full right now but please consider it <3

I'm not a modder, but I am an avid player who loves to build huge capital ships and fleets, and anything that gets me NPC's that can crew them has my vote.

Adding crews to the even as vanilla or supporting the modders would be a huge positive change in my opinion and will make the game much more lively as singleplayer or MP

Crew would be so cool. For once I wouldn't have to complain about not having friends. NPCs have been my friends for ages.

Would be nice to hear your thoughts about this idea! I’m of the mind that this would bring a wave of excitement for old and new players alike. Interesting that this has been sitting here for well over a year without any acknowledgement whatsoever.

Please consider this request. Modders are doing incredible things that Keen just can't compete with (this is a question of manpower at some point.) Take for example : https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1633058917&searchtext=npc+android+crew . This is great. What would be greater is having a skeleton crew walking around and having more possibilities on the animation classes might allow modders to do even more extraordinary things.

OH Yes some nice NPCs would be nice addition to have :)

Apparently this is still an issue these days. If I understand Digi correctly, the limitations to animation prevent them from making a fully animated version of tool use on Digi's special ladders.
