Frequently Asked Questions

This page contains frequently asked questions regarding the Citizens project. You should always check here before submitting an issue, asking on IRC, or posting on the forums. You're queries could very well have already been answered here.

How do I upgrade from old versions to Citizens 2.0?

See the Installation page.

How do I get <enter NPC type here>?

NPC types are now called "characters". These are no longer built-in JARs that you place in the /plugins/Citizens/types directory. You must download each individual character and place it in the /plugins folder. You can find out more about characters on the Characters page, or learn how to make your own on the API page.

Can I change what skin an NPC has?

The short answer is no. Human NPCs will use the default skin, or the skin of that named registered user. For a detailed explanation, see the Skins page.

Why isn't Citizens working!?!?!

Citizens requires a certain version of CraftBukkit in order to work. If you are getting NoClassDefFound errors or ClassNotFoundException, ensure that you have the correct version of CraftBukkit for your Citizens version first. Otherwise, submit a ticket here.

Why cant my users hear my NPCs?

Make sure you give them the proper permissions. Users will need citizens.npc.talk to hear NPCs by clicking or talk-close. See Permissions.

I can't right-click to select an NPC

By default you must be holding a stick to right-click-select a NPC. The object can be changed in the Configuration.
