Added NPC Parameter

Just a thought...

Many times, npcs are used as "training programs", though when spawned they're always the standard appearance. Perhaps it'd be possible to add an additional parameter/value/field (beats me what the tech term is) to give the hologram effect like /rphologram normal.

Is it possible/easy?

Perhaps not such a strong effect, seeing as a hologram cannot be physically interacted with.

True, I just meant the appearance side of it.

Hmm it is possible... the easiest way would need the clients to have the NPC file with that additional key/value, the hard way would only need the server to have it and it would tell the clients to render the NPC with the hologram effect. I'm not sure which one I'll do, but I'll probably do it for version 0.4.0.
