Patch 0.2.1

This patch requires an update to the class files.

Rework the entire dialogue system to support more situational dialogues.
Npcs will now greet and say goodbye differently depending on your relationship with them.
Rework the meta event system so that it runs (mostly) in lua.

Redesign the npc preset API so that it is easier to use in lua.
Remake survivor npc presets so that they can actually be women.
Add chance to give npc guns (aside from certain professions that always get guns).

Add robbing of npcs - npcs can now be robbed. If they have friends nearby or are brave, they will not let you rob them. If they get robbed, they will wait for a moment before dropping their weapon and backpack, then run away. Npcs can also resist getting robbed. If you attack them, they will fight back.
Add spawnarmypatrol command for MP. This command will spawn an army patrol of 4 soldiers that will guard their spawn area.
Remove loner condition when recruiting npcs to make it easier to find npcs.
(MP) Some minor fixes for errors popping up in rare situations.

Patch 0.2.0

This patch requires an update to the class files. This patch will wipe the npcs in your group. This is necessary for all new features to work correctly.

Add first version of procedural generation of npcs - The simulation starts in 1953 with 200 couples who work and gain skills, and have children, who continue to do the same.
Add migration events - To replicate npcs that die over time, procedural generation will generate plenty of npcs and save the extra ones. Once the world drops below a certain threshold, new one will be spawned from the spare pool to populate the world.
Add npc memories - npcs will remember things that happened to them before the game starts (from procedural generation) as well as things that happen to them in the game. Some examples will follow.
Add migration memory (npcs will remember migrating into Knox Country and where from, randomly selected)
Add trespass memory (npcs will remember players trespassing)
Add death memory (npcs will remember players and npcs dying)
Add zombie bite memory (npcs will remember being bit by zombies)
Add bandit raid memory (npcs will remember bandit raids)
Add small zombie horde raids memory (npcs will remember small zombie hordes attacking their safehouse)
Add big zombie horde raids memory (npcs will remember big zombie hordes attacking their safehouse)
Revamp how npcs are saved - Use a format similar to players which saves everything, including appearance, items including their current state, relationships, memories etc.
Add event system which makes npcs react to things happening around them (noises, screams, players/npcs attacking players/npcs)
Fix Loot Building action via right-click context menu.
Make sure that chop trees area is saved properly.
Make npc selection cover a 1 square radius and give each npc a submenu.
Fix npcs becoming stuck turning when approaching an attack target
Add eating survival behavior (still a bit scuffed on occasion, feel free to report any issues)
Modify ranged friendly fire relation penalty outside of combat to -30 per shot
Lower relation penalty in combat
Recalculate job queue when changing a work area (e.g. if you change chop trees area, jobs will be repopulate immediately)
Make sure that curfew soldiers are actually a part of the military faction when spawned
Add more dialogue options for small talk
Add dialogue options for asking about recent events (memories!)
Move join group dialogue to the dialogue window, accessible via "Speak" in right-click context menu.
Make stop dialogue behavior more consistent (npc won't follow you even after saying goodbye)
(SP) Fix npcs not saving when exiting the game to desktop
(MP) Fix bug where newly recruited npcs will overwrite existing npcs in the list
(MP) Remove friendly fire penalty for pushing npcs (use this to trigger chopping trees in case they become stuck)

Patch 0.1.14

This patch requires an update to the class files.

Don't spawn bullets for npcs when they rack a weapon that is already chambered (to avoid creating huge number of bullets).
(MP) Use new and more reliable method for determining if a safehouse belongs to a player. This will hopefully fix npcs claiming player safehouses.
(MP) Reduce number of npcs spawned in store mob event to reduce server lag.
