- Created comprehensive documentation for two new NPC patrol features: Waypoint Patrol and Cross-Room Navigation. - Added `QUICK_START_NPC_FEATURES.md` detailing configuration, implementation phases, and testing guidelines. - Introduced `README_NPC_FEATURES.md` as an index for navigating the documentation package. - Implemented `update_tileset.py` script to update Tiled map with all objects from the assets directory, ensuring proper GIDs. - Updated test scenarios for NPC patrol behaviors, including waypoint patrol tests in `test-npc-waypoints.json`. - Adjusted positions in existing test scenarios for better alignment with new patrol features.

- NPCs follow predefined waypoint coordinates (3-8 range)
|
|
- Sequential or random waypoint selection
|
|
- Optional dwell time at each waypoint
|
|
- Validates waypoints are walkable
|
|
- Falls back gracefully to random patrol if invalid
|
|
|
|
FEATURE 2: Cross-Room Navigation (Multi-Room)
|
|
- NPCs patrol across multiple connected rooms
|
|
- Automatically transitions between rooms
|
|
- Pre-loads all route rooms
|
|
- Validates room connections
|
|

|
- New features are opt-in
|
|
- No breaking changes
|
|
- Random patrol still works
|
|
- Can mix old and new configurations
|
