Hi guys, I have been a player for OMM for about a year now, but I just jumped into the realm of DMing very recently. I have ran into quite a few interesting things that I wanted to see if they are able to be improved upon for ease of access on the DM side of creation.

  1. When it comes to making NPCs, there is from my understanding no way to delete them once they are created. I have tried to right click but the only thing I get is to input an asset, which isn't what I'm looking for. I made many a test NPC to see how things would work and now I have blank characters sitting in my NPC list without a way to get rid of them. If there are also concerns about accidentally deleting an NPC with such a feature I feel like implementing a popup that essentially says "Are you sure" should suffice in making sure NPCs aren't deleted without deliberate action.

  2. On the topic of NPCs, having some sort of way of editing NPCs after creation, so that I can edit it and it saves the changes so if I forget a detail during actual character creation I don't have to edit it everytime I pull an NPC out of the menu and can just have those changes saved. I've had to make extra copies of NPCs because of this, and because of the problem in #1 I cannot delete those unnecessary copies with minor changes.

  3. Having the names of assets actually stick when in the portal creation menu. I have a very complicated map I'm working on and it has a lot of interlocking portals, and I've been getting a little frustrated trying to get each portal to sync up with each other. I can make one connection just fine, but because I'm using the same asset for all of my portals right now, when I go to link it back I have to choose from three identically named portal assets that no matter if I changed the name or not it will always default to what the asset is titled and not what I've edited the description to be. I believe its a similar issue with the NPCs having a basic slate they revert to when in the menu, but it's causing some issues nonetheless.

I am happy to elaborate if any of my points seem confusing, but I really hope that either I can get clarification on ways to improve the way I'm using the system or ways that these things can be modified or fixed on the OMM dev side of things. Love the game and love the product and I will continue to support as long as I play/run my own campaigns. z_mh

# pearl bane Hi guys, I have been a player for OMM for about a year now, but I just jumped in...

Howdy! As a preface I would say you can always ask about things you dont know or would like more info on in #🙋┃help-desk !

  1. You can! If you want to delete a specific spawn of an NPC, you just right click and select 'despawn'. If you want to delete the NPC asset you go to OMM > Manage Assets and find the asset there, delete is under the more options 3 dot menu when you select it.

  2. You can! Take control of the NPC and go to the drawer in the top right. Select the smiley face (character studio) > clothes > open character generator. This works the same for both NPC and PC modifications. You can also do this from the aforementioned Manage Assets and select an NPC, then select the 'Edit' button under 'Edit Appearance' if you are doing several at once without spawning them.

  3. This is a known bug! Sorry!
