Description:

Beware! Backup your save before using this mod, both my mod and npc framework are still in development and could lead your character to unfair death.
For single player only (I mean, not tested on multiplayer, neither the mod and possibly the framework) .

This mod spawn random hostile npc near the player using the PZNS Framework mod. Configurations using [Mod Options] mod. Although this mod use the PZNS framework which is a framework for NPC’s this mod should not be treated as a NPC mod, they are enemies, not full-fledged NPCs, so the AI don’t have some behaviors.

Types of Enemies:
(1) Prisoner – Pistols or Shotguns (2) Thugs – Baseball bats or crowbars (3) Hunter – Varmint Rifle .223 (4) Militia – M14 (5) Weeping Angel – Nothing

By lua-modding limitation (or possibly an open issue in current framework) the hostile npcs will only spawn on "zombie free" regions to prevent game crash. There is option to set a "zombie tolerance", but I don’t recommend to change it.

Notes for the Artificial Behavior:
1. If you go far enough the Enemy will stop the pursue. But could be necessary to run or sprint.
2. If the npc spawns or go inside a building they will stay there walking randomly until find something to shoot (you). That not applies for thugs though.
3. The "Wanderful Building Enemy" can be detected by "…" treedots red message above the npc. Why? Trust me, is better that way … That not applies for thugs.
4. The "Open Field Enemy" will start pursue the player if close enough until they can shoot, flee if take too much damage.
5. If there are zombies near, you are safe. If there are no zombies on your current cell them they can spawn and display a message.

Notes for Walkie-Talkie Spawn:
1. Must be attached to belt hotbar and turned on to work.
2. Right click on the Walkie-Talkie in the hotbar select "Call For Survivors".

This is a hostile npc mod, don’t take any prisoners …
