Added:

• AI: Added a new file "AIPatrolSettings.json" (inside your mpmissions/your mission/expansion/settings) which replaces "init_eAI.c". If you want to keep using the old file, you will have to download the updated init_eAI.c we have shared on our Discord (we won't support it officialy, it will be up to the community to maintain it).
  
• AI: [AIPatrolSettings] Added Crash Patrols. They can spawn at heli and police wrecks as well as contaminated zones.
  
• AI: [AIPatrolSettings] Added "Chance" setting. It can go from 0.0 to 1.0 (0% to 100%).
  
• AI: [AIPatrolSettings] Added "CanBeLooted" setting. 0 for false (can't) and 1 for true (can).
  
• AI: [AIPatrolSettings] Added "UnderThreatSpeed" setting. Similar to "Speed" but this will apply only during fights.
  
• AI: [AIPatrolSettings] Added "WaypointsSpreadRadius" setting. Allows waypoints to be placed randomly around spawn point. Any value below 0 will generate random waypoints. Any value above 0 will use this radius for each waypoint. Set to 0 to disable this system.
  
• AI: Added support for swapping to firearm from inventory.
  
• AI: Will pick up weapons from ground in vicinity if no item in hand and no weapon in inventory.
  
• AI: Will bandage themselves when left alone and bandage/rag in inventory.
  
• AI: Added Guards faction (will not attack other guards and will only attack everyone else if they raise their weapon).
  
• AI: Added option for unlimited reload (still needs a spare mag or ammo in inventory, but it will automatically refill).
  
• Spawn Selection: Added loadout system.
  
• Spawn Selection: Cooldowns will now persist over server restarts.

Changed:

• AI: [AIPatrolSettings] "Behaviour" setting can now accept "HOLD OR PATROL", "PATROL" (equivalent to LOOP) and "HOLD" (equivalent to HALT).
  
• AI: [AIPatrolSettings] "Speed" setting can now accept "RANDOM".
  
• AI: [AIPatrolSettings] "Faction" setting can now accept "RAIDERS" (equivalent to INSURGENT).
  
• AI: Drop item in hands when falling unconscious, pick it back up after waking.
  
• AI: Disabled vaulting over building edges and re-enabled climbing on low buildings (sheds etc) and wrecks.
  
• AI: Disabled pistol melee (they will use their fists instead) to prevent messed up hand animation state.
  
• AI: Projectile damage calculation is now done more accurately.
  
• Core: Generate default Loadouts on startup and move to ExpansionMod/Loadouts.
  
• Core: Safezones: Implemented a different way to prevent damage (no longer uses godmode, so status effects can kill you if you're careless).
  
• Core w/ AI: Safezones: Factions are no longer temporarily reassigned in safezones.

Fixed:

• AI: Fixed despawning AI group after being killed by the player while the player is still near one of the dead AI.
  
• AI: Fixed patrols not despawning correctly and still spawning a new group.
  
• AI: Fixed AI being teleported away from Contaminated Areas and prompting the message to players.
  
• AI: Fixed weapon manager sometimes getting stuck in reloading and unjamming states by adding a timeout (AI will stagger momentarily, then continue on).
  
• AI: Fixed swapping to melee from inventory causing hand desync.
  
• AI: Fixed melee breaking after a few attacks with certain weapons (e.g. baseballbat).
  
• AI: Fixed initial formation transform not being set.
  
• AI: Fixed weapon sometimes not lowering when entering idle.
  
• AI: Fixed projectile damage not transferring to attachments.
  
• Spawn Selection: Fixed missing mouse pointer if toggling fullscreen in spawn selection menu.
  
• Vehicles: Fixed engine state client desync when running out of fuel.

Notes:

• Server Hosters: You don't need to update your server settings manually! The server should convert old settings files automatically.
  
• If you encounter problems with the marker system make sure you wipe the marker.bin file in your servers ExpansionMod profile directory!
  
• If you encounter any problems with the market system please make sure to wipe your local DayZ "ExpansionMod" profile directory!
