+NPCv2
+=====
+New class format and code designed to allow a replacement EntityAliveSDX for A22.
+
+The goal of this project is to improve performance for the custom entities, as well as clean up the code significantly.
+
+EntityAliveV2 (prototype name only)
+=============
+- Inherits off EntityNPC 
+- Smaller code foot print
+	- Base class only has the basic code to:
+		- Add items to their inventory
+		- Allow Dialog
+		- Checks to see if immune to damage
+		- etc.
+
+- Support Classes have been configured to handle additional tasks that may be optional for the NPC.
+	- Found under Features\NPCv2\Scripts\Entity\SupportClasses
+	- Examples:
+	    - LeaderUtils handles all logic and checks if the NPC has a leader.
+	    - MissionUtils handles all logic and checks if the NPC is away on a mission.
+	    - NPCQuest Utils handles all logic and checks if the NPC can give quests.
+	    - PushOutOfBounds handles all logic and checks if the Entity is out of bounds.
+	    - NPCUtils handles misc logic for generic NPCs
+	
+	- Some of these utils are added via EntityAliveV2's Init call. 
+	- These are considered be useful for all NPCs, regardless of what the NPCs are meant for.
+	    public override void Init(int _entityClass) {
+			base.Init(_entityClass);
+			_pushOutOfBlocksUtils = new PushOutOfBlocksUtils(this);
+			_npcUtils = new NPCUtils(this);
+		}
+	- For more advanced NPCs, there is now an exposed XML format for the entityclass to configure:
+		<property class="NPCConfiguration" >
+            <property name="Hireable" value="true" />
+          	<property name="Missions" value="true"/>
+        </property>
+	- The XML configurations are handled in the CopyPropertiesFromEntityClass, via a switch statement:
+	    case "Hireable":
+            if (StringParsers.ParseBool(keyValuePair.Value.ToString()))
+				_leaderUtils = new LeaderUtils(this);
+            
+	- This will create a new reference to the LeaderUtils class.
+	- Elsewhere in code, the following hooks have been added. If _leaderUtils != null, then it'll execute the LeaderUpdate() call.
+		- If it does not exist, it does nothing.
+		
+	    public override void OnUpdateLive() {
+			_leaderUtils?.LeaderUpdate();
+			_pushOutOfBlocksUtils.CheckStuck(position, width, depth);
+			_npcUtils?.CheckCollision();
+			_npcUtils?.CheckFallAndGround();
+
