Description from the author on SpigotMC

Have you ever wanted to change the skin of your Citizen's NPCs without using a player name? Now you can! Simply download the plugin and put it in your plugin folder, then restart the server and you are ready to set your skins!

TESTED VERSION: 1.11 -> 1.12.2

PLUGIN REQUIRED: Citizens 2

Spoiler

To set your skin you simply have to edit the config.yml in the plugin folder (plugins/NpcSkin/config.yml) and add, in the "Names" section, the name of the npc as the key and the name of the disguise as the value.

In the example "Guardia" is the name of the npc (the key) and "guardia" is the name of the disguise (the value).

To setup a disguise edit your /plugins/LibsDisguise/disguises.yml and follow the
instructions.

The delay value is the time in milliseconds between the player join/npc spawn and the application of the skin.
Unless you are not sure what you are doing, do not change the value.

The UUID section is compiled by the plugin, never edit it!
