Hi,
If there is any way to have blood decals with NPCs added using AddonPeds, please? (the question was in a wrong forum, moving it here now).
Thanks!

Hi,
I believe there may already be a mod out there giving real time bullet hit statistics player achieved in the started game session - can anybody suggest, please?
(I failed to find it on this website, but I could just use wrong keywords).
Thank you!

@Aurora11
In "popcycle.dat" - could the number under column "#Scenario" specify the number of peds expected to participate in scenario for that particular area? - purely guessing, I didn't test it.

@Aurora11, @wyruzzah

Hi,
Just wanted to share my experience so far (probably well known for more experienced modders).
Scenario file “del_perro_beach.ymt” turned to be difficult to understand. Hashes are 8-digits while available on Inet hashes of peds (e.g. https://wiki.rage.mp/index.php?title=Peds) are 10 digits. Worked around it following way:

1. Using CodeWalker (https://www.gta5-mods.com/tools/codewalker-gtav-interactive-3d-map) found that all female peds resting on (as example) Del-Perro beach belong to the “SUNLOUNGER” group (probably scenario could be edited right from CodeWalker, but this is beyond my expertise at the moment).
2. Added my ped to the “SUNLOUNGER” group in “ambientpedmodelsets.meta”
   AND – IN THE SAME TIME – added my peds to the file “popgroups.ymt” in “del_perro_beach” area.
   It looks like that if I have (again, talking as example) two peds (“my_ped_1” and “my_ped_2”) and I add them BOTH to the group “SUNLOUNGER”, but in “popgroups.ymt” I add “my_ped_1” only to the area “del_perro_beach”, while “my_ped_2” – only to the area “vespucci_beach”, then:
   • “my_ped_1” will sunbath only on Del Perro beach,
   • “my_ped_2” will do the same only on Vespucci beach.
     If the ped is only in “SUNLOUNGER” and not specified for the are in “popgroups.ymt” – I didn’t see it spawned in scenario points.
3. Another personal discovery: ped models specified in particular areas are mixed with some other peds. It looks like this is specified in “popcycle.dat”. E.g., for “del_perro_beach” area peds will be combined from the groups designated in “popgroups.ymt” for “del_perro_beach” itself and also “Del_Perro_StreetGeneral”.

Sorry for long post. Comments are welcome.

@Aurora11 Thank you very much! The meta file looks much more sofisticated than the other method below (though seems to be matching exactly the purpose), didn't grasp it and give it a go yet, will need some time to play...

@wyruzzah Many thanks, after quick trial seems to be working - my peds started to appear, though not many of them yet . I need to look into details details.

Hi,
After add-on NPCs added to "popgroups.ymt" they started to appear on map, but not 100% blended into the game:
NPCs spawned on a beach walk/stand around the beach, but never rest on towels or under umbrellas - anybody knows how to control that?
Thanks!

I am OK with Gangs of LS in general, I just want to clean Vespucci beach . I have vague impression that could be achieved modifying "popgroups.ymt" file, but there are few of them in installation and it is not obvious what to modify there. To start with I don't see any gang members assigned to Vespucci beach, just general public .
Thanks for replying anyway!

Hi,
How can I get rid off gangs hanging at Vespucci beach, please?
They appeared after World of Variety install.
I was OK with the default beach peds all right ! :^)
Thank you!

Hi,
I understand there is a way to blend add-on peds into the game as completely new and additional (instead of overwriting existing peds) using PEDS.META file - can anybody describe details how to do it or give a link to the explanation, please?
Thank you!
