Update to version 0.15.0 beta
Custom weapons
From version 0.15.0 you can define custom weapon for each combat level. This change deprecates weapon definition part in Data/CompanionDispositions. If you defined custom weapon for your custom companion in dispositions content asset, then create new asset file in your content pack, define custom weapon for combat level 0 and move weapon name or id here. In content.json in your pack folder define patch for Data/Weapons/<YourCompanionName>. Don't forget remove weapon deifinition from dispositions content asset. More details you can read in Weapons docs.

Update to version 0.13.0 beta
Translations moved to locale folder
Localizations was moved from assets folder to locale and removed the locale code suffix. Now localization files are in the locale/<localeCode> subdirectory. If you create unofficial (community) translations, you must to migrate your translations to the new place and use the new localization files name convention. See the mod folders assets and locale for an example.
New content pack format 1.3
It's highly recommended to upgrade your content packs to latest format version 1.3. This format has been simplified and not need specify Action field. Actions Load and Edit are deprecated and there are automatically rewritten to new Replace and Patch. Replacers trigger warning, so your rewritten load patches trig this warning too. To avoid this warnings upgrade your pack to the latest format version. It's easy, just remove the Action field from your patches and change Format field to 1.3. If you add new file which not exists in the mod, it will be automatically processed and added without Load or Replace action. Use Replace action only if you want to replace whole existing content file in the mod. This action affects all content added or edited by other content packs which edits the same target. For more information about new format see Content Packs.
But no worry. Your content packs in older formats still works with NPC Adventures 0.13.0, only triggers some warnings while game launched.
