+NPC Framework [npcf]
+====================
+This mod adds some, hopefully useful, non-player characters to the minetest game.
+The mod also provides a framework for others to create and manage their own custom NPCs.
+
+Additional Text Colors [textcolors]
+===================================
+This mod adds colored text for NPC nametags. Can be safely removed to save space,
+NPC nametags will only use the default white text supplied by npcf itself.

+NPC Framework for Minetest 0.4.8
+--------------------------------
+This mod adds some, hopefully useful, non-player characters to the minetest game.
+The mod also provides a framework for others to create and manage their own custom NPCs.
+
+Features currently include overhead name tags, formspec handling, ownership and management,
+file based backups and automatic duplicate entity removal. (experimental)
+
+These NPC's are not craftable although by default will be available in the creative menu.
+Servers would be encouraged to override this default and allocate the NPCs on /give basis.
+
+### Info NPC
+
+The Info NPC is a simple information serving character. You could think of them as a
+human book providing information about a particular server location, or whatever else you like.
+Supports multiple pages of text. 12 lines per page, ~50 chars per line.
+
+### Deco NPC
+
+A purely decorative NPC, can be set to roam freely and/or follow random players it encounters.
+
+### Guard NPC
+
+Protect yourself and your property against other players and mobs. Features 3d weapon and armor.
+Can be left to guard a certain area or set to follow their owner.
+
+### Trader NPC
+
+Provides a quantity based exchange system. The owner can set a given number of exchanges.
+This would likely be best used in conjunction with one of physical currency mods.
+
+	Buy [default:mese] Qty [1] - Sell [default:gold_ingot] Qty [10]
+	Buy [default:gold_ingot] Qty [20] - Sell [default:mese] Qty [1]
+
+Note that the NPC's owner cannot trade with their own NPC, that would be rather pointless anyway.
+
+### Builder NPC
+
+Not really much point to this atm other than it's really fun to watch. By default, it be can only
+build a basic hut, however this is compatible (or so it seems) with all the schematics provided by
+Dan Duncombe's instabuild mod. These should be automatically available for selection if you have
+the instabuild mod installed.
+
+Server Commands
+---------------
+
+Server commands are issued as follows.
+
+	/npcf <command> [npc_name] [args]
+
+### list
+
+List all registered NPCs and display online status.
+
+### clearobjects
+
+Clear all loaded NPCs. (requires server priv)
+
+### loadobjects
+
+Reload all currently unloaded NPCs. (requires server priv)
+
+### getpos <npc_name>
+
+Display the integer position of the named NPC.
+
+### reload <npc_name>
+
+Reload an unloaded NPC. (requires ownership or server priv)
+
+## clear <npc_name>
+
+Clear (unload) named NPC. (requires ownership or server priv)
+
+## delete <npc_name>
+
+Permanently unload and delete named NPC.  (requires server priv)
+
+### setskin <npc_name> <skin_filename|random>
+
+Set the skin texture of the named NPC.
+
+	/npcf setskin npc_name character.png
+
+If you have Zeg9's skins mod installed you can select a random texture from said mod.
+
+	/npcf setskin npc_name random
+
+### setpos <npc_name> <pos>
+
+Set named NPC location. (x, y, z)
+
+	/npcf setpos npc_name 0, 5, 0
+
+
+API Reference
+-------------
+Use the global npcf api to create your own NPC.
+
+	npcf:register_npc("my_mod:my_cool_npc" ,{
+		description = "My Cool NPC",
+	})
+
+This is a minimal example, see the NPCs included for more complex usage examples.
+
+### npcf
+
+The global NPC framework namespace. Other global variables include.
+
+	NPCF_ANIM_STAND = 1
+	NPCF_ANIM_SIT = 2
+	NPCF_ANIM_LAY = 3
+	NPCF_ANIM_WALK = 4
+	NPCF_ANIM_WALK_MINE = 5

+	NPCF_BUILDER_REQ_MATERIALS = false
+	NPCF_DECO_FREE_ROAMING = true
+	NPCF_GUARD_ATTACK_PLAYERS = true
+	NPCF_DUPLICATE_REMOVAL_TIME = 10
+
+All of the above can be overridden by including a npcf.conf file in the npcf directory.
+See: npcf.conf.example
+
+### npcf:register_npc(name, def)
+
+Register a non-player character. Used as a replacement for minetest.register_entity, it includes
+all the callbacks and properties (at the time of writing) available there. The only exceptions
+are the get_staticdata callback (used internally) and you are currently not able to create arbitrary
+property variables, instead the framework provides 'metadata' and 'var' tables for those purposes.
+The metadata table is persistent following a reload and automatically stores submitted form data.
+The var table should be used for non-persistent data storage only. Note that self.timer is
+automatically incremented by the framework but should be externally reset.
+
+Additional properties included by the framework. (defaults)
+
+	on_registration(luaentity, pos, sender),
+	on_construct = function(self),
+	on_receive_fields = function(self, fields, sender),
+	animation = {
+		stand_START = 0,

+		sit_START = 81,
+		sit_END = 160,
+		lay_START = 162,
+		lay_END = 166,
+		walk_START = 168,
+		walk_END = 187,
+		mine_START = 189,
+		mine_END = 198,
+		walk_mine_START = 200,
+		walk_mine_END = 219,
+	},
+	animation_speed = 30,
+	armor_groups = {immortal=1},
+	inventory_image = "npcf_info_inv.png",
+	show_nametag = true,
+	nametag_color = "white",
+	metadata = {},
+	var = {},
+	timer = 0,
+
+### npcf:set_animation(luaentity, state)
+
+Sets the entity animation state.
+
+	on_activate = function(self, staticdata, dtime_s)
+		npcf:set_animation(self, NPCF_ANIM_STAND)
+	end,
+
+### npcf:get_index()
+
+Returns a table of all registered NPCs. (loaded or unloaded)
+
+	{[npc_name] = owner_name, ... }
+
+### npcf:get_luaentity(npc_name)
+
+Returns a minetest ObjectRef of the npc entity.
+
+### npcf:get_face_direction(v1, v2)
+
+Helper routine used internally and by some of the example NPCs.
+Returns a yaw value in radians for position v1 facing position v2.
+
+### npcf:get_walk_velocity(speed, y, yaw)
+
+Returns a velocity vector for the given speed, y velocity and yaw.
+
+### npcf:show_formspec(player_name, npc_name, formspec)
+
+Shows a formspec, similar to minetest.show_formspec() but with the npc_name included.
+Submitted data can then be captured in the NPC's own 'on_receive_fields' callback.
+
+Note that Form text fields, dropdown, list and checkbox selections are automatically 
+stored in the NPC's metadata table. Image/Button clicks, however, are not.
