This version of mod not tested enough, so bugs expected.
VERY IMPORTANT:
If you use new lua install method your lua could be broken.
Check it by console command "reloadlua".
If you have red errors in console, your lua is broken.
Try reinstall game and install lua by classic install method.
!!!!!
Always keep your campaign files backed up!
New character save format not working without this mod!
To run this mod, as every other LuaCs mod, you must select LuaForBarotrauma server executable in 'Host Server' menu.
Campaign most probably cannot be converted back, without manual editing (xml file), or in-game shenanigans
Every bot, new hire and player is saved into _CharacterData.xml
!!!!!
Please, report bugs.

Features
For the mod to work, the server must use the Lua executable file
All game clients, without exception, must be patched with client-side Lua files
The mod accepts commands from the chat (not from the F3 console). Mod commands start with the word 'mcm'
Mod works ONLY in multiplayer campaign
In order for players to appear in the game in the middle of a round, the administrator must enable autospawn of players: mcm client autospawn true, or spawn them manually: mcm spawn <id>. To get the player's id, type: mcm list
If secure mode is enabled, only administrators can freely switch between characters
Crew reserve feature allow you to load/unload characters at any time during the campaign. Check the details on the update notes.
To keep in mind
NOT CONFIRNED: Be careful with new respawning mechanic, when doing a level transition. Dead bots don't respawn. Character killed count as bots if you play another character whilst your main is dead! To avoid that, look for other mods.
Respawn interval and maxtransporttime refers to timeout on first person dead and time to arrive to main sub on respawn shuttle.
