[B42] Knox Event Expanded NPC mod [alpha v0.3.17-1]

The goal of this NPC mod is to add npcs through engine modifications.

The inspiration for this comes from various Thursdoids Indie Stone have published during the last ~10 years, which I am basically trying to recreate as good as possible. My goal is to enhance the endgame experience by bringing npcs into the mix by allowing them to exist from the very beginning of the outbreak, and later develop into various factions.

The B41 version of this mod can be found here.

This mod relies on modified class files that must be installed manually. Instructions for how to install can be found in the Installation guide
NOTE: Map mods will not work well with the npcs when they are in the metaverse as their movement is implemented right now. It relies on waypoints, which in turn requires manual work to map out the roads for the npcs to move in a good way. This will be addressed in the future.

1. Npcs are procedurally generated when starting the game the first time. This simulates their lives between 1953 and 1993.
   
2. Call out over radio that you are looking for survivors. Npcs within 200 squares will respond and their safehouses will be marked on your map. They will also give directions on 90MHz.
   
3. Npcs have a memory system that lets them remember what happened before and after the Knox Event began. Trust, aggression etc. is derived from these memories. (Some) memories fade over time, making it possible to run into a npc at one point and have them be aggressive towards you, and the next time, they're friendly.
   
4. Npcs will not take kindly to you trepassing in their home and will turn hostile if you don't leave.
   
5. Npcs have sense of morality - if they are immoral, they might try to rob you and/or attack you.
   
6. Even when you are not around them, npcs will continue to live their lives in the background.
   
7. Inventory system for giving npc items e.g. food and equipment, and changing what they wear and which weapon they use.
   
8. Npcs in your group can be sent out to scavenge or ordered to loot e.g. if they are out on a loot run together with you.
   
9. RW-style management of npc jobs while they're at your safehouse.
   
10. Faction creation - both for npcs and the player.
    
11. Npc stories - npcs are able to play out scripted events in front of you.
    
12. Military faction that defends the Louisville checkpoint
    
13. Morality system where npcs become more immoral (and eventually turn into bandits) over time.

1. More procedural generation modules for the npcs.
   
2. More faction features e.g. a "values" system for factions to give them goals and create conflict.
   
3. Survival behaviors - npcs will take care of their needs i.e. find food, water, shelter etc.
   
4. More combat improvements.
   
5. More "static" npc factions (examples: police, EMT, fire fighters).
   
6. Dynamic waypoint system to better support custom maps.
   
7. Driving npcs.

This is the current list of features and it is still subject to change. Just as with B42 in general, taking backups is recommended. Also, saves may break, since B42 is still in unstable.
