Change Log 0.2.1

Added

• Better Combat Compatibility — Added a per-NPC melee option that uses Better Combat's registered attack and weapon-pose animations when Better Combat and Mob Player Animator are available.
• Weapon-based Better Combat timing — Compatible melee attacks now use the held weapon's effective attack speed and scale the damage timing to the played attack motion.
• Authoritative main-hand synchronization — Added server-to-client main-hand state updates so managed NPC rendering and animations use the weapon that is actually equipped on the server.
• Scrollable armor pool — Armor pools now support a fixed five-row viewport with mouse-wheel scrolling and a draggable scrollbar, keeping every supported armor set reachable.
• Optional Mob Player Animator integration — Registered Mob Player Animator as an optional client dependency for Better Combat animation playback.

Changed

• Weapon, skin, and armor pool chances can now be edited directly on each row instead of through separate chance-setting flyouts.
• Editing one pool entry now changes only that entry. An explicit Equalize action distributes the total evenly when desired, while a single-entry pool remains fixed at 100%.
• The Armor editor now keeps its controls, pool rows, and NPC preview inside the scrollable content at narrow resolutions and larger GUI scales.
• Better Combat compatibility now resolves the held weapon's registered attack set, combo order, attack conditions, idle or moving pose, two-handed state, and item transform instead of selecting a generic fallback motion.
• When Better Combat compatibility is active, the custom melee attack-speed control is locked and the Overview reports Weapon Spec (locked).
• If Better Combat animation playback is unavailable, the NPC safely falls back to a vanilla main-hand swing without creating a replacement animation.
• Melee weapon identity checks now preserve configured NBT while allowing runtime durability changes, preventing normal weapon wear from being treated as a different configured weapon.
• Weapon switching now verifies the main-hand result, retries failed equipment changes, and postpones melee damage until the expected weapon is confirmed.
• Temporary combat diagnostics were removed, and detailed weapon-switch or main-hand traces now appear only when the NPC's debug option is enabled.
• Updated all five included language files for the Better Combat controls and the revised inline pool editor.

Fixed

• Fixed managed NPCs visually keeping an old gun or melee weapon after CustomNPCs or another AI integration changed the real main-hand item.
• Fixed Better Combat selecting an attack from stale client-side equipment during ranged-to-melee and melee-to-ranged transitions.
• Fixed Better Combat arm bending and held-item transforms not carrying over to mapped CustomNPCs player-model render proxies.
• Fixed melee attacks being allowed to continue after an equipment write failed or the main-hand readback did not match the configured weapon.
• Fixed damaged melee weapons being repeatedly re-equipped because their changing Damage NBT was mistaken for a different runtime weapon.
• Fixed weapon-spec melee damage, knockback, and attack-speed modifiers failing to resolve reliably in the obfuscated Forge runtime.
• Fixed editing one weapon, skin, or armor chance silently redistributing sibling entries before the user chose to equalize them.
• Fixed large armor pools extending outside the editor, clipping later entries, or pushing the NPC preview beyond the reachable scroll area.
