NPC Schedule Enhanced (Better AI)

Hello, 

If you played games like Read Dead Redemption 2 then you will know how great NPCs are in those games. This project is trying to get HL a bit closer to those kind of games and add a proper schedule to the NPCs. For example, you can see every named student walking around, sandboxing in a certain area of hogwarts such as Sebastian, Ominis, Garreth Weasley, Leander etc. but when the day turns into the night they all disappear. With this mod, NPCs no longer disappear.  This mod changes almost every named NPC's schedules. It adds various things such as students going to their common rooms at night and visiting hogsmeade on weekends. Only named NPCs are affected for now. Full features are listed below.

NPC Behaviour
  • Vendors will leave at night and go to their homes in other towns (Hamlets). Only for Hogsmeade vendors. (Ollivander etc.)
  • NPCs physically walk to Hogsmeade, Great Hall, their common rooms, their default sandbox location. You can actually follow them even to Hogsmeade. (Warning: it's a long walk and they don't run. Takes a bit of time.)
  • Students and professors go to Hogsmeade on weekends. Currently students go to The Three Broomsticks and Zonko's, while professors go to various locations including Hog's Head. (For example Professor Sharp and Ronen go to Hog's Head on weekends.)
  • Students go to their common rooms at night. They don't sleep but they sandbox (Sit, read a book etc.)
  • Students go to their default sandboxing locations in the mornings.
  • Students go to breakfast in the Great Hall.
  • Students go to dinner in the Great Hall.
  • They might not do any of these when they have quests.
Schedule Times
  • On weekdays between 08.00  and 22.00 , they sandbox in their default locations. (Almost every part of the castle)
  • On weekdays between 22.00  and 08.00  they go back to their common rooms. 
  • On weekends between 08.00  and 22.00  they go to Hogsmeade.
  • On weekends between 22.00  and 08.00  they go back to their common rooms.
  • On weekdays between 09.30  and 12.00  they go to breakfast.
  • On weekdays between 19.00  and 20.30  they go to dinner.
Roadmap
  • Next version will have Vendor schedules. They will close their shops and go to their rooms at night.
  • Getting some of the professors to stay in their bedrooms.
  • There are many named students that don't appear outside of classes. They will be given a schedule.
  • Adding more locations to students and professors.
  • Adding enemy attacks on Hogwarts. 
  • Adding Aurors to Hogswart.
  • Making students sleep in their dorms.
  • Editing schedules of non named NPCs.
Updates
  • 1.0.1: Added filler nameless students in common rooms at nights. Edited the filler NPCs in Great Hall so that they will only be there during dinner and breakfast. (Syncs with the named NPCs breakfast and dinner hours.)
  • 1.1.0: Added vendors in Hogsmeade, now they will go to their homes in other towns (Hamlets) at night. 
Current Bugs
  • NPCs standing not doing anything especially in Great Hall and Hogsmeade. The reason of this is there aren't any chairs to sit or slots to do some sandbox. This will be fixed.
  • Sometimes students go to the main exit gate but then turn back and use the side exit to walk to Hogsmeade.
