Nurse Dinah Rhea is now moonlighting at the 'Covid Casino' Booth @ Ineptitude Aisle. She is there to warn people that PAYMENT is required when service is rendered. The Wanda Circuit handles aftercare... OWCH!

Profile pictures really take it to another level. It gives each NPC actual presence instead of just being background. Clean idea with the 2-line setup too. Looking forward to seeing how you expand this into multi-NPC control. Good work.

osNpcSetProfileImage(npc, "inventoryPIC"); osNpcSetProfileAbout(npc, "120 char about");
I am running a personal re-wright of ActiveNPC which runs on a hud. I developed an instant solution which tags all NPCs with a picture and about. I will refactor the code to parse new data from the npc_names notecard. (name -picINprim- 120char about) Pretty straightforward... (keep about text short or it will get clipped.)

That’s a solid approach. Pushing the data into the npc_names NC keeps it scalable and easy to manage, especially once you start handling multiple NPCs. Using the prim inventory for the image reference is clean too. The 120-char limit is a good callout, keeps everything consistent. Curious to see how you structure the parsing when you refactor it.

The only thing that puts a block on things is that I am still on Xengine and I do not want to switch to a current build because I understand support for X has been dropped. That means re-writing most of the scripts I depend on. That is one pill I am not eager to swallow, so any code I share to the same will be on X.

WOW... adding 'profile pictures' and 'about info' really makes a difference. Each Actor (NPC) has a profile and a reason for being there. All of them play a role and I am JUST GETTING STARTED. It is a simple 2 line solution you add to your NPC rezzer. I will work out a way to achieve this same effect with a multiple NPC controller.

Today all of the NPCs get a proper profile picture and text to describe the character; I am also building that into my new NPC framework
