Fixed issue where companions that mounted on player back were unable to do so.
Sardine Bounty Board reimplemented.
=> If Sardine is living on your world and has a house, he will mention about the bounty board once you speak to him.
=> => On 1.3 version of the mod, Sardine occasionally mentions that, and you only had access to the feature by picking the dialogue option talking about the Bounty Board.
=> For those who doesn't know about the system, Sardine will ask you to place a Sign on his house, and will update it with new bounties eventually.
=> => Those bounties will ask you to kill monsters in the biome the Bounty appears, to make the Bounty target itself appear.
=> => Upon defeating the Bounty target, you can claim a reward from Sardine.
=> => A bounty can only be done once per character, but the same character can still try new bounties the board displays.
=> => All the informations about the bounty, like target, where it appears and rewards can be checked on the sign at Sardine's house.
=> Except for the lack of bounty modifiers and Ether items, the bounty system is reimplemented as it was on 1.3 version.
Added a Debug menu to companions dialogues.
=> Obviously, the DEBUG option will only appear if you have debug mode on.
=> That will have options that:
=> => Will let you remove a companion from being marked as Met in the world (so you can try recruitment again).
=> => And a option that not only removes the companion from your character companions list, but will also do the above, removing them from the Met in the world list.
=> Those commands are more related to testing if recruitment methods works.
Fixed a bug where companions would no longer have different behavior when they were in a dialogue with your character.

=> They are still subject to level downscale too, if you're using level capper setting.

Fixed an issue where companions could get stuck trying to drop from a solid block, when pathfinding somewhere.

Companions will no longer mention who you haven't met yet.
Companion Management Interface will no longer appear when in a shop, or when managing a chest.
Added a option on the mod Server Settings to allow disabling companions brought by the mod.
=> When this option is flipped on, it will prevent companions from the mod to be starter companions, prevent their town npcs from spawning, aswell as spawners from spawning them.
=> This will not remove companions you already met from your companions list, and neither remove companions on your companion list.
=> You can only change this option on the main menu.
=> Do let me know if you bump into issues.
Brutus will now try letting you know when he appeared, and where.
=> Basically, instead of just saying to look for him near a npc, he will also say which direction from the npc he's at, so you can look for him.
=> Search for Cardinal Directions to figure out directions.
Domino rearrives.
=> His store is not reimplemented yet, beside it might make more sense once Malisha rearrives.

=> => Terrarian companions can't be picked as Buddy this way.
=> => Buddy companion will be shown with a Yellow name on the group interface.
=> => Buddy companions will not question whatever you ask of them. Even if you want to mount on their shoulder or bond-merge with them.
=> => One of the changes this version of the mod brings, is that you can appoint a companion as your Buddy, if you speak to them on other topics about it, and they have high enough friendship level.
=> => => The game will ask if you are sure before you pick a buddy, so last chance of thinking otherwise.
=> => Just like on TerraGuardians 1.3, creating a new character while having another that have met other companions will give you a Portrait of a Friend item.
=> => => The Portrait of a Friend will allow you to pick any of the known companions as your Buddy character, including Terrarian companions.
=> => => Met by other player characters companions that can be picked, must have enough friendship level to be follower on those characters to be picked as a Buddy.
The mod will no longer save companion global informations when playing on debug mode.
=> That means, for example, life and mana crystal progress will no longer be saved while debug mode is on.
=> Disabling debug mode afterwards will make companion datas be saved normally again, so disable debug mode only after restarting the game.
