How to Create or Alter survivors (Version 1)
Any information related to survivors (Aside from how they're placed in game) is located in datafile.big, in the items.txt file. There are many parameters used to determine how exactly a survivor acts.
Survivor entries come after the command cSurvivorItem Xxx. Replace xxx with whatever you would like this survivor to be called in the coding. It does not matter what it is as long as it is not in use my anything else. For the sake of this tutorial, I'm going to use srv_pat.
Now you should enter the various commands that create the survivor. Remember, anything besides "sSurvivorItem Xxx" needs to be sealed in {}. Otherwise, anything past that entry the game will not read.
Survivor property commands
Here, you'll find a list of commands to give your character. I'll go tough them one at a time. Remember to place X with any value you need.
Age = "X"
Determines what the displayed age is in the notebook.
Numbers Only. Leaving blank, not including, or using text in this field will result in the displayed age being "0"

CanDefect = "true/false"
CanFollow = "true/false"
As the name suggests, CanDefect determines whether or not a character can turn against you if you hurt them too much. CanFollow seems to have no effect, as the character can join you when called to do so anyways. If you find out what this does, feel free to leave a message.
Nature = "X"
Nature is one of the values that determine the idle animations for a character. The animations are different depending on whether or not the character is male or female.
Note that Nature = "0", will cause the survivor to always emit crying voices, regardless if Emitsurvivorhelp or emitsurvivorcall is enables or not.
