(A19) WalkerSim - Enhanced roaming zombies

So how it works is, there are virtual (simulated) zeds all over (and I mean a lot, all over), that react to sounds, and when they approach your area they spawn in for real and you end up getting yeeted.

It's glorious. 

 
it is glorious indeed!

but i'm getting a lot of performance warnings from WalkerSim, on a ryzen 5 3600, 16 GB of decent ram, nice ssd, windows 11 properly tweaked for performance, dedicated private server A20.1 b5 on localhost

many other mods are installed, but never noticed performance issues until using WalkerSim

i would also like to know how this affects mods which edit/set/append/remove the following files in particular:

archetypes.xml, entityclasses.xml, entitytgroups.xml, gamestages.xml, and spawning.xml

Thanks for your efforts!

zombies seem to behave correctly here. I can't make the Viewer work however, wanted to test some settings and adjust stuff for my new server 😁

ps. I also have no idea how performance is going since the A20 versions. My new host doesn't show CPU/Ram usage

Then I'll release version with a possible choice of several respawn systems: at the border, near some POIs, instantly or on a set day. I hope it will be done this week

In the meantime here's patch, that:
- Brings more configuration. Now you can set persistense save interval in config. I use 2 minutes with no problmes. What does it affect? Say, you've made zombie massacre, got to the trader or safe spot and about to finish your game session. If you set PersistenceSaveInterval too big, for example, 10 minutes, that's gonna mean, that if you quit game faster than in 10 minutes after massive shoot out, all zombies would be restored on the next launch.
- Persistense fix. Although I fixed simulation file save and turned off insta respawn, all zeds were restored on the next launch. Now finally fixed and tested.

I believe those errors only happen on first run when it can't find the Walkersim.bin file, which it will create at that time, thus resolving the problem on subsequent runs...

 
Update.

Seems like it doesn't like A21 :(
