Bosses keep hunt and persist. Setting type: Boolean Default value: true NeverDespawnBosses = true

Event creatures keep hunting after the raid timer ends. Setting type: Boolean Default value: true EventMonstersSurviveRaidEnd = true

[MultipleRaids]

Stash the current random event when a new one starts instead of OnStop. Do not run Expand World Events Multiple events with this. Setting type: Boolean Default value: true AllowMultipleRaids = true

Changelog

1.0.6

• ALL raid/event creatures are forced to fight: block flee, block hunt-clear, re-assert hunt+alert every AI tick. Applies to every raid (Greyling, Boar, Neck, Greydwarf, etc.), not only on spawn.

1.0.5

• Raid timers: ContinueSpawningWithoutPlayers now defaults off, so each Custom Raids Duration and PauseIfNoPlayerInArea apply as written. PersistentRaids no longer forces the event clock by default.
• New optional OverrideRaidDurations + OverrideDurationSeconds (both unused unless you turn the override on). Leave off to keep per-raid durations.
• Raid creature AI: event mobs force hunt + alerted, and clear shy flee flags (fleeIfNotAlerted, unreachable flee, low-health flee). Fixes Greylings milling around instead of fighting.

1.0.4

• Persistence is now raid-only. Never-despawn and ZDO.Persistent apply only to raid/event creatures (and bosses via NeverDespawnBosses).
• Open-world wildlife (boars, necks, greylings, etc.) culls like vanilla again, so it no longer accumulates around bases. Fixes base-area FPS drops caused by permanent wildlife.
• Raid mobs get persistence when the event flag is set (SetEventCreature), not blindly on Awake.

1.0.3

• Fix: 1.0.1 treated every event-area check as “a player is here” and could expose a stashed raid as the current event. Custom Raids refuses to start a new raid while GetCurrentRandomEvent() is set, so raids stopped appearing.
• AllowMultipleRaids defaults to false. Custom Raids owns raid start; this mod persists raid creatures.
• persistraid stop clears a stuck current/stashed random event.

1.0.2

• Long-range sight, forced hunt, and never-lose-aggro apply only to RandomEvent / raid creatures (SetEventCreature).
• Open-world mobs (boars, greydwarves, and other non-raid spawns) keep vanilla view range and aggro.
• Night despawn skip is raid-only.
• World bosses no longer inherit raid hunt from NeverDespawnBosses (far-despawn persist is unchanged).

1.0.1

• Initial release: raid chase, far-despawn block, extra events, spawn-without-players, monster cap 220.
