Without Honor: NPCs, Update 1.0.1

A Halloween update with nothing Halloween-y in it. Well, why not. The big things: a new dialogue window, interface styles and TaCZ for NPCs on Forge 1.20.1.

Dialogue window

I rebuilt the dialogue window in the manner of modern RPGs. Planned from the very start - and finally done.

• Three styles to pick from in "Config" → "Dialogue window": "Scene" (default: the character stands on the left at full height, the line sits on a plate, answers in a column), "Card" (old look, new format) and "Chronicle" (the whole conversation as a feed on the right). A style can be set for the whole server, and even for a single dialogue node.
• QoL: A long line is split into pages instead of scrolling. Space, Enter, a click or the mouse wheel turn pages forward, wheel up goes back. Keyboard. ↑↓ pick an answer, Enter confirms, 1–9 pick right away.
• Next to "2C" there's a new "OC" (original character) button: on this node the NPC can be shown with its own picture or model instead of the profile portrait. A new node inherits the looks, the second character and the window of the open one.
• Conversation log: the quill icon in the status bar shows everything that's been said.
• Window size: "Normal / Larger / Largest" in "Config" (not sure anyone will actually use it, but I was asked to add it :D).
• While a dialogue is open, the game HUD (hotbar, health, chat, Iron's Spells mana, minimaps) isn't drawn. A checkbox in "Config" turns that off.
• Small things: "Say goodbye" instead of the house button (this is for companions that follow you), a locked answer with hatching and a lock, crisp text at any GUI scale, and in "Open in game" you can see the window the way a player with a different monitor sees it.

Interface styles

• Theme and frames became one choice, the interface style, and it changes every window of the mod. There are six: Original, Coffee, Space Black, Space Coffee, Vanilla (light, like Java Edition windows) and Bedrock (speaks for itself).
• The "Config" button next to the mod in the mod list opens the client settings (on Fabric through Mod Menu).

Flags

• Flag groups in the "Player Flags" window, like for dialogues: folders with a color and an icon, multi-select, a right-click menu, drag and drop.
• "All flags" is the first row in the player list: every flag in the world and how many players have each. Sort them into groups right there and "Forget" the ones nobody has anymore.
• "Remove from player…" for all selected flags at once.

Companions

• "Attacks your target". A checkbox in the "Following" window: hit someone a couple of times in a row, and your companion joins the fight. How many hits it takes (ex. 1–3) is set next to it, so a stray hit doesn't drag it into a fight. Off by default.

[TaCZ] Timeless and Classics Zero Guns

• An NPC with the "Archer / Thrower" combat style shoots a TaCZ gun held in its right hand. It picks the distance by the gun: closes in with a shotgun, keeps far away with a sniper rifle. It fires in bursts, reloads, racks the bolt and hits with the stock up close.
• It all looks and sounds like a player: muzzle flash, shell casings, reload sounds, gunpack animations (needs player-animation-lib). Out of combat the gun hangs on its back and the pistol on its hip.
• Tactical AI (on by default). The NPC shoots crouched, hides behind a wall to reload and comes out of cover for a burst, goes prone with a sniper rifle or a machine gun, lays down suppressing fire with an automatic weapon. Combat manners: "Assault", "Defense", "Cover" or "Auto". All of it is in the "Tactics" block, where you can also switch back to the simple AI.
• A second gun in the left hand comes out when the main one runs dry and an enemy is close.

Other

• "Repair items" on the "Items" tab restores the durability of weapons, armor and shield.
• "Done" in the reaction editor saves right away, even if you then close the NPC editor without "Save".

Also fixed

• Dialogue exported to PC lost its pictures: attachments, OC and second-character portraits. Now they travel with it, like with an NPC preset.
• Skin changed through /whc skin or by re-uploading to the skin library updates for every player right away, not after a restart.
• JPEG portrait with a .png extension wasn't accepted; now it's recoded to PNG on its own.
• Large portrait caused a frame hitch on first load. Importing a preset with pictures and saving a big dialogue no longer stall the server.
• Long flag (over 96 characters) broke a player's flag list; when a dialogue is renamed, the flag descriptions of its buttons move along with them.
