[B41] Knox Event Expanded MP NPC mod [alpha v0.2.1]

The goal of this MP NPC mod for dedicated servers is to add npcs through engine modifications (and a workaround in client for "vanilla" clients in MP).

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 SP version of this mod has been discontinued. Please note that this also applies to MP hosted via the in-game menu. This is a decision I have taken due to the scope becoming to big with B42. To play SP, please refer to the B42 version of the mod here.

This mod relies on modified class files that must be installed manually. Instructions for how to install and what server settings are recommended for a good experience 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. There is a plan for how to remove the need for this.

For feature requests, please post them in the Feature/ideas thread

The roadmap for the B41 MP version of this mod is currently limited. Some new features might be added if requested, but overall, my main focus is on B42. Some features made in B42 SP will be backported to B41 MP, but it will be kept on a case to case basis.
