Lethal Internship

Note from HR :
As you may or may not know, our great company suffers from this staggering inflation, costs are rising, and budget cuts are on the way.
But our dearest executives have found a solution to get the company back on track :

Interns !

Willing to work, cheap and plentiful, these workers will support you and make your work faster and more efficient.
Don't worry, they're not intended to replace you.
So don't hesitate to make use of them and together become

Great assets to the company

Cheap Interns and where to find them

These passionate workers are available in a new section of your shop.
Buy them in space or on the moon and they will be delivered to you like regular items with the dropship.

They do not return to the ship
In fact, they are not authorized to get too close to the ship and will drop the items near it,
you will then just need to pick up the objects and bring them back inside.

They always follow you
Or at least try to follow you, or another player.
The moons are not very welcoming and the interns may have (some) difficulties to navigate smoothly in those tricky areas.

They are fragile
But replaceable, less life points and can carry only one object at a time.
Be patient, they are learning, just like you not so long ago.

Things you can do

• To enter the menu, type 'LethalInternship program' or 'pro' or 'in', you should arrive to the info page.
• From there you can buy intern with 'buy' command or 'buy nameOfIntern' if you know the name of the one you want.
• Type 'Status' to see check all of the available intern status.
• You can revive intern by buying them specifically while in orbit.
• You can revive intern with other mods like 'Revive company', 'Bunkbed revives' and 'Zaprillator'
  
  While they are spawned:
• You can give them item with [G]
• Make them drop item with [G]
• Grab the intern with you [A], to go faster or useful on some map where the AI pathfind is not the best
• Change the suit of the intern by the one you're wearing with [X]
• All input are configurable.

Configuration files

Lots of configs are available for you, so go check them !
Mod is compatible with InputUtils so you can change your inputs !
There's also a config file for the identities of the interns (a name, a suit, a voice)
Identities can be found in a new config file at Your_profile_folder\BepInEx\config\LethalInternship\ConfigIdentitiesDefault.json
If you want to make your own file, name it 'ConfigIdentitiesUser.json' and the default one will be ignored. Details can be found in the default json.
To link the voice folder to the intern, simply change the "VoiceFolder" property in the identity you want.

Fully voices interns

A big thanks to Mathew Kelly and his incredible voice acting, there's more than 700 (!!) voice lines for those little guys.
Chilling with you, following, founding loot, panicking, you name it, there's a voice line for every state of mind !
You may know him as Dragon-V0942 from FurAffinity, and you can find some of his voice acting works on youtube (Voice acting example).

Some AI voices should be added next update (0.20.0)

Have fun with cosmetic mods !

This mod is compatible with ModelReplacementAPI and all of its users (tooManySuits, MoreSuits, ThiccCompany, etc...). It is also compatible with the emotes mod, emote in front of intern and they will copy your dance moves !

On a more serious note

This mod is very alpha and I still need to do a lot of polishing.
I'm just happy to share this project with you, in hope that you find it fun and enjoyable.

Things to add

• Orders, a system to control the interns in some way. Can take some time to implement that too.

Bug to fix

• Sand spider web trap not working for interns.
• Nutcracker ignoring interns.
• Compatibility with modded maps, for environmental hazards damages.
• Compat with Peepers mod, LethalMin mod.

2024-12-24 - Voices and road to Beta !

Now that I have a clear view of what is left to add to this mod,
I can say that we are 1 or updates away from beta !
I still need to add orders and configurable option with terminal, for now you can use lethal config for the client only configs.
In beta I won't be adding new stuff (unless some exceptions) and it will be only bug fixing and mod compatibility.

Hope you will like this new update, there's a lot changed under the hood but unfortunately not so much to show...
Expect for the voices of course !!

For now let's check what's changed !

0.19.0 [Alpha] - 2024-12-24

Added

• Voices
  More than 700 voice lines added for every state of the interns. Voices made by Mathew Kelly/Dragon-V0942
  The interns do not talk when a player is talking, and they tend to avoid talking while other interns talk (unless panicking, getting hurt, that kind of stuff).
  After launching the game once you can find the audio folder in Your_profile_folder\BepInEx\plugins\Szumi57-LethalInternship\Szumi57-LethalInternship\Audio\Voices.
  From here you can find the voice folder named "Mathew_kelly" and inside, the voice lines organized by state (chilling, entering cruiser, running from monster).
  If you want to add you own voices, you will need to respect this tree. Add a new folder next to "Mathew_kelly" with the same sub folders hierarchy.
  But be aware if there is an update of this mod, the audio folder gets deleted, so keep a copy of you work (of course).
  But how do you link that folder to an intern ? That bring us to the next point :
• Identities
  The interns have now a name, a suit, a voice, and all that makes his identity.
  Identities can be found in a new config file at Your_profile_folder\BepInEx\config\LethalInternship\ConfigIdentitiesDefault.json
  If you want to make your own file, name it 'ConfigIdentitiesUser.json' and the default one will be ignored. Details can be found in the default json.
  To link the voice folder to the intern, simply change the "VoiceFolder" property in the identity you want.
• New terminal page : Status
  With this new way of working, interns can be tracked on your terminal with the keywork 'status' (while being in the 'lethalIntership program' page).
  You can see the list of all the interns and their status : name, hp, to dropped on moon, dead.
  You can buy specific interns by typing 'buy Mathew kelly' for example or quicker : 'bu math'.
  If they are dead, they can will be resurrected (only in while the ship is in orbit tho).
  If all identities are dead, buying more will make a default intern on the fly.

More additions

• A spawn animation for interns, the dropship is pretty crammed so when the door opens... well I'll let you find out.
• New configs : volume multiplier, taklativeness, swear words
• New config : randomness of identities when buying them
• New config : maximum animated interns at once (see performance fixes below)
• Noise detection : they can hear you now and try to find you if they are lost while hearing you.
• New logo ! made by... Mathew Kelly/Dragon-V0942 (can this guy ever stop ?)
• Compatibility with reviving mods : 'Revive company', 'Bunkbed revives' and 'Zaprillator', so many ways to revive those little guys.

Changed

• The interns can follow you in the ship now, but not in orbit (next update maybe).
• Their whole movement got reworked (that took quite a while), they move like monsters now, following ai pathways, not falling in holes. No more ladder animation for the moment though sorry.
• Made the blob monster only doing 5 damage to interns, they are quite dumb when it comes to avoid him, so at least they don't die in 2 hits now.

Fixed

• Performances fixes, found that the sound of their footstep what quite taxing on the framerate so I fixed that.
  Limit the number of animated interns too (see config), thanks @BetaSigmaOmega on Github, issue #51.
• Fix death by shotgun or knife and grabbing interns corpses bug, thanks @Timofey1337png on GitHub, issue #56
• Fixed saving interns already bought but kept the money when reloading.
• Fixed compat with ImmortalSnail, they fear him now, thanks @AdamHarney on Github, issue #57.
• Fixed items dropped in ship not getting registred by the host.
