# Changelog for AI Allies

## Version 1.4.24
- Made all Archetypes care more about their concentration spells.
- Made the Focus/Ignore orders free and removed the buffs/maluses your allies or enemies get. The previous behavior is now separated into an optional file. Main version now only affects AI priorities.

## Version 1.4.23
- Melee Fighter archetype: Increased how much this archetype wants to have enemies nearby.
- Testing some changes to wildshape, you may or may not see any changes with this. (I'm attempting to encourage the AI to use certain wildshape spells based on tiers by making some of them give a very strong and long buff but then removing this buff as soon as it's applied, this is actually similar to how the berserker archetype is encouraged to use 'Throw', just a bit more elaborate)
- Increased all archetypes' minimum movement required to consider ignoring AOO.

## Version 1.4.22
- Fixed an issue where you could get a free roll bonus from your allies in dialog for attack rolls.

## Version 1.4.21
- New order: 'Disable throwing' - Will make the target unable to throw items from their inventory. Can be useful if you want to ration resources and make them keep the potions they have to themselves and not share.

## Version 1.4.20
- Changes in version 1.4.1 accidentally removed the limitation I placed on characters to not wildshape as NPCs. it is now restored. (Reasoning was hotbar disappearing)

## Version 1.4.19
- Changed the method of giving the player spells to a more reliable one.
- Changed all allies' alignment to Chaotic Evil so that they don't betray you for the crimes you've committed. (A half joke, but if you have the NPC passive enabled then during combat they become their own person with their own faction, so they might have opinions about crimes committed against factions whom they have good (enough) relations with. This is an attempt to make them ignore your crimes and not betray you.)

## Version 1.4.18
- Healer archetype: Slightly increased how much low HP boosts a healer's priority to heal that target over doing something else.
- Fixed not being able to use the 'Block Casting' spell on characters that have turned into an NPC during combat.

## Version 1.4.17
- Buffed the Focus/Ignore target orders. Attacking priority targets will give AI controlled allies a roll bonus to attack of 1d4-1. Ignored targets will now also get a debuff, since everyone is actively staying away, they get a -1d4+1 penalty to attack rolls when they target your AI controlled characters. These are only meant to affect your AI controlled allies, you will not get an attack bonus nor will enemies get a penalty against you if you are not under AI control.

## Version 1.4.16
- Fixed non-NPC characters not getting alternative abilities that they can use when combat starts (Action Surge, Dash, etc..)

## Version 1.4.15
- Healer Archetype: Reduced the base inclination to heal by around 60%. Instead, will now dynamically increase the inclination to heal self or allies depending on how much health they are missing.

## Version 1.4.14
- Increased poison usage inclination for 'Trickster' archetype. (After some testing, I believe there is a limitation to what poisons the AI can use even when when enabling the NPC passive, Oil usage might also be limited)
- Fixed: Casting an archetype again on the same character will now also disable active AI in combat for characters with the NPC passive enabled. (They were untargetable before)

## Version 1.4.13
- Better compatibility with mods that add characters that join the player's party such as those from 'Recruit any NPC' mod.
- Changes to 'Trickster' archetype: Will attempt to flank more, deal damage slightly more, use control spells less.

## Version 1.4.12
- Modified the 'Block Casting' order. Instead of blocking all casting, it will now only block certain spell slots so that cantrips that don't cost spellslots can still be used. With this modification the following will currently be blocked: Spellslots 1-6. Warlock Spellslots 1-6. Lay On Hands Charges. Channel Divinity. Channel Oath.
- Fixed 'General Archetype' getting disabled on the character's turn if they have the NPC passive enabled.

## Version 1.4.11
- Changed the way actions are blacklisted, so now when I add certain spells or actions to a blacklist, it will only stop your allies from using them and not the enemies as well. Current actions that are blacklisted are: 'Gaseous Form', 'Guidance', 'Blessing Of The Trickster', 'Longstrider', 'Warding Bond', 'Sanctuary', 'FeatherFall', 'Disengage'. Also SPOILERS:(All of the end game abilities you get for the final fight are also blacklisted)
- Some minor tweaks to how things work behind the scenes.

## Version 1.4.10
- Made "Disable All AI" clear current allies list as well. It should already get cleared when the statuses get removed but this is just for some edge cases where it somehow didn't.
- Cleaned some of the code.

## Version 1.4.9
- Added a new Order: Block casting - When used will block the target from using spells completely. Can still attack with weapons and use weapon skills. Main usage would be to conserve spellslots on weak fights.

## Version 1.4.8
- Slightly increased Healer archetype's preference to deal damage.
- Reverted changes from 1.4.4 to archetypes.

## Version 1.4.7
- Fixed characters not getting AI statuses when entering combat after it has already started.
- NPC variants will temporarily change factions when combat starts to stop them from becoming hostile when attacking characters that are for some reason allied to their original faction. (Could also have been caused by poor relations, who knows)
- Merged the Wildshape Priority tier changes from the experimental version. I've tested a few fights and the results were mixed so I am still not sure if it's working properly but there shouldn't be any issues with including these changes.

## Version 1.4.6
- Reupload and hotfix.

## Version 1.4.5
- Added a backup method to make sure NPC characters become players again in case the initial method failed.

## Version 1.4.4
- Attempt at making characters not save their action points if current action is not executable this turn. This is to hopefully get them to use extra actions more reliably when they get them from 'Action Surge' or 'Potion of Speed'. (Sounded like a setting from DOS:2, not sure what it means in BG3 since all actions regenerate at the start of your turn anyways)

## Version 1.4.3
- Made all archetypes slightly more likely to attack a target they've just attacked.
- Attempt at making archetypes slightly less likely to go through dangerous surfaces.
- Fixed conditions for applying certain statuses.
- Removed system for giving spells based on status. This means Action Surge and Cunning acting dash modifications are removed

## Version 1.4.2 (Please cast the 'Disable All AI' spell, then disable and re-enable the NPC passive if you had it enabled after updating to avoid issues)
- Fixed some issues with handling statuses when combat ends.
- Fixed issue with application of statuses.
- Fixed conditions for disabling AI.
- Lowered item use score by 66%.
- Increased Fighter Archetype's inclination to deal damage.
- Further increased Healer Archetype's score for resurrecting.

## Version 1.4.1
- Remade a lot of parts of the mod, no more seperate spells for NPCs and non-NPCs, your characaters will now get a toggle-able passive that when toggled on will turn themselves into an NPC during combat under any archetype you want.
- Fixed warp spell working incorrectly.
- Changed method of receiving spells, you now get them immediately as you load your save.
- Removed a lot of statuses that are no longer used due to these changes. You might need to disable your archetypes before updating.

## Version 1.3.52
- New DEFAULT Archetype/mode, this one will actually use the pre-assigned archetype the character already has instead of giving them one. So the only thing this'll do is give control to the AI during combat. Available as both non-NPC and NPC variants.
- Fixed an issue where the 'NPC General' Archetype doesn't get removed and is overwriting all other archetypes. (if you are affected then it will automatically fix it for you within 10 seconds of loading the save)

## Version 1.3.51
- Combat will now pause momentarily (2 seconds) when it begins to give the AI time to initialize properly. I've noticed improvements in performance with this change.

## Version 1.3.50
- All Archetypes will now dislike losing concentration of a spell a lot more, which would make them less likely to cast another concentration spell while they are currently concentrating on one.
- Increased the max distance ranged archetypes can stay away from enemies.
- Increased how much ranged archetypes dislike having enemies nearby.
- Made all archetypes except 'General' more mindful when using 'Control' type spells and actions that can knock down allies.

- NPC archetypes will no longer use 'Gaseous Form'.
- non-NPC archetypes can once again be used on Possessed characters.

## Version 1.3.48
- NPC archetypes can no longer be cast on summons and temporary companions. (Couldn't find target conditions for the temporary companions so it'll instead warn the player without enabling the AI)
- Fixed crash with possession that happened when the day ends, caused by the previous change to the spell. Possession will now last until cancelled.

## Version 1.3.47
- 'AI Allies: Orders' will now appear as a potential action you can use when you click your 'Bonus Action' to filter what actions you can take.
- Modified 'Disrupter Archetype' to prioritize higher health targets over lower ones.

## Version 1.3.46
- Hotfix.

## Version 1.3.44
- Made allies act a bit more careful with how they use spells such as 'Fireball'.

- Disallowed usage of 'Bend Luck' for the AI.

## Version 1.3.39
- If you die while having characters under 'Mind Control' then they will all get released, if they are possessed then the possession will also end.
- Increased resistance stupidity, this should theoretically make the AI more inclined to use spells even when the enemy has resistance towards them.
- Reduced 'Melee Fighter' archetype's inclination to break an enemy's concentration.

## Version 1.3.38

## Version 1.3.37
- Fixed accidentally hitting mind-controlled characters makes allies angry.
- Limited Mind Control to only targets with a mind (Undead and other contstructs cannot not be affected anymore)
- NPCs that have advantage against being charmed will now properly get their advantage against 'Mind Control'.
- 'Mind Control' now gives advantage to charisma dialog options.

## Version 1.3.36
- New feature: 'ORDERS', You can now mark targets as high or low priority and your allies will act accordingly.

## Version 1.3.35
- Added 3 more Custom Archetypes each with a non-NPC and NPC variants. (Requires the Advanced addon)
- Custom Archetypes will now be contained in their own dedicated spell container instead of getting added to the 'Extra Spells' one.

## Version 1.3.34
- Slight changes to the Healer archetypes.
- Made the AI status temporarily change the target's faction so that if you have temporary followers they won't become hostile when applying a NPC archetype since the game doesn't actually change their relations towards you, so if turned into an NPC they might become hostile (Sazza the Goblin for example).
- Disallowed using archetypes on Mind-Controlled allies.

## Version 1.3.33
- Added a check for NPC characters to not enable AI again after disabling it due to dialog starting during combat if the character is no longer in combat when the dialog ends.

## Version 1.3.26
- Reverted the throwing condition change from last update.
- Reduced the bloodlust of all archetypes except 'Fighter Ranged' significantly. Melee characters should now focus less on running across the battle to finish off a wounded enemy in the back. Kept some bloodlust on some of the other ranged archetypes.

## Version 1.3.25
- Experimental change to allow the AI to throw mainhand and offhand weapons. *Potential side effect is they might consider their clothes as weaponry if they run out of options. Should mainly affect the Berserker Archetype since that archetype will always try to throw or brawl with someone.

## Version 1.3.24
- All archetypes except 'General Archetype' will now have a higher threshold they need to pass before they decide to heal; This should make them throw less healing potions at you if they have something else to do.

- Revised the system that provides non-NPC characters with usable versions of spells or skills that are originally inaccessible to them.
- Small change to all Melee Archetypes.

- Changed some mechanics for better performance.

## Version 1.3.16
- Fixed incorrect removal of characters from the current allies list if they were already in the list and you apply a new archetype.
- Allowed loading a custom archetype. If installing the addon then you will be able to find 2 new spells in your 'AI Allies: Extra Spells' spell container, these spells will apply your custom archetype on the target character, one spell is to turn them into an NPC and the other is for non-NPC.

## Version 1.3.15
- Fixed characters with an NPC Archetypes not reverting to player characters after combat ends.
- Moved 'Disable All AI' spell and the 'Warp Allies' spell to a new container since it started getting too crowded.

## Version 1.3.14

- Probably some other change I'm forgetting.
- New Spell: Warp Allies - Teleport anyone that has any of the AI Allies statuses to you. You can find it in the 'AI Allies: Archetypes' spell container. Next update I'll probably move it to its own 'Utility' container.

- Fixed calculating the number of party members improperly, it should now account for all of them.

## Version 1.3.12
- Fixed mindcontrol not loading any mindcontrolled characters after reloading the game. The list will now be updated every time you save the game.
- Fixed getting stuck by only being able to suggest a dialog choice in a dialog during combat if the enemy initiated dialog with an NPC Archetype character. Your companions will now allow you to choose all their life choices just like before.
- Disabled the dodge buff function since characters don't seem to skip turns anymore since the fix in 1.3.10.

## Version 1.3.11
- Renamed the 'Mage Archetype' to 'Disruptor Archetype'. Hopefully this will make its role more clear.

## Version 1.3.10
- Modified the method the non-NPC archetypes get applied to characters. This potentially fixes turn-skipping. After testing a specific battle many times and making tweaks throughout, I managed to completely eliminate the turn skipping issue in that battle. I tested a few more different fights and they also seemed to work well, so hopefully this issue is finally solved.
- Fixed 'Cancel AI' spell not removing the trickster archetype.
- You will now also get the spells upon starting a new game.

## Version 1.3.9
- Changed the way you get the spells, you will now need to visit your camp at least once to receive the spells, summons and other non-player characters will no longer receive these spells.
- Removed modifications to action surge and dash, relevant AI characters will now get custom versions of these spells if they need it, this would mean better compatibility with other base game spells that might extend any of these.
- Characters on the NPC Archetypes seem to bug out if wildshaping during combat, for now I've disallowed wildshaping on NPC Archetypes (You can still use wildshape on them yourself before combat and it reportedly works fine).

## Version 1.3.8
- Published all Experimental changes to the main version, the changes are as follows:
- New archetype: Trickster - No melee or ranged preferences. Likes to deal damage, likes to use the environment such as barrels, likes to use poison and items, Likes to disarm opponents and sometimes even steal their weapons (Needs a disarming spell or ability).
- New spell: Ally NPC - Turn a party member into an NPC which will allow for more spells and abilities to be used without my need to modify any spells, for example, they can drink healing potions using this method.

- Separated the 'NPC Ally' spell into its own container where future NPC archetypes will reside.
