Alert Tracker mod for Thief 1 and 2

This is a mod that can be installed to track NPC alert count.

It is based on the Radar mod from https://github.com/saracoth/newdark-mods

Similar to that mod, it adds a new Compass item into the inventory.

That item displays the count of alerts events that were reported internally by the game:

• First level alerts
• Second level alerts
• Hunts started

Item has two modes of operation:

• By default, it only acts as a counter
• If toggled, a message will be shown on screen for every alert or settling remark

Limitations

• It's not possible right now to find if alert was because of the player or for some unrelated reason
  • This is ok for most missions, but in some of them, you will get many 'false' alerts because opposing factions on the map alert to each other
• 'Silent' alerts that happen during patrolling NPCs standing on 'Wait' action are still reported
  • This is often ok because you might hear a settling remark later
  • This might not be ok when NPC settles silently on the same 'Wait' point
  • Alerts during conversations are still counted
• The item might not appear in FMs that set 'apply_dbmods 0' in their fm.cfg. This line has to be removed. (example: Black Parade)
• The item is only added at the start of the mission, so you can't load an old save and get it
