DMNPC

Very hard to define.

  • NPCs with dynamic movement No, because UM is an unarticulated DMNPC in higuy

dmnpcs have Namegen names and use unique models. In fortress the A-posing heavies have unique bundled, named models despite just being heavy models. They do not have "dmnpc" in the name.

DMNPCs are manipulated with the DM Editor as shown in Helmetcreek

Many things are dnmpcs:

Named DMNPCs:

cstrike ent_dmnpc_tleet_cge7-193 Leet with gun
fortress ent_dmnpc_scouthkdui8sp Peeking scout

officehead ent_dmnpc_o7tde5
gravelgrave ent_dmnpc_anomi4e Noise after split
ord_end ent_dmnpc_female01Tghys contaienr error

In Portal Event we see a healthy DMNPC from third person without any model corruption:

Semi-natural, human-like full-body movement

Presumably the POV of Type 5 demos

Examples

Ambulate without leg kinematics in skycrash 43:28

Flailing

Examples

Noise

Model appears to be positioned at random relative to a point. Movement is arbitrary noclip.

Examples

#theory Could these be Type 1s?

Broken

Physics

Violent physics resolution attempts.
