Schedule I 0.4.7 open beta: three startup patch failures and the removed members behind them

[madjagstudios]

Heads up before the beta hits main: I put S1API 3.2.0 on the 0.4.7 open beta (Steam build 25404402, game 0.4.7f5) and diffed the game assemblies against 0.4.6f13 (build 24705572). Three patches fail at startup, and a good chunk of the wrapped surface moved underneath. Details below, all from a first-launch log plus a symbol diff of the two builds. Happy to share the full 148-row member cross-reference if it helps.

Environment

• MelonLoader 0.7.3, S1APILoader 2.5.0, S1API 3.2.0 (stable @ 7dc810c), S1MAPI 2.0.0 (no errors)
• Main menu only, no save loaded. Il2CppAssemblyGenerator: 885 methods and 3 fields not restored, 1,226 unstrip failures
• Diff: 52,297 to 55,139 symbols; 5,870 added, 3,028 removed, 468 with relationship changes

What fails at startup

1. NPCPatches.NPCHealth_Awake_Prefix throws on every NPC awake (S1API/Internal/Patches/NPCPatches.cs around line 2479)

System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'Void Il2CppScheduleOne.NPCs.NPCHealth.set_npc(Il2CppScheduleOne.NPCs.NPC)'.
   at S1API.Internal.Patches.NPCPatches.NPCHealth_Awake_Prefix(NPCHealth __instance)

NPCHealth.npc (public field) is gone; it is now a private _npc. The health model also changed: Start(), AfflictedWithLethalEffect, REVIVE_DAYS, and set_Health(float) are removed; SetHealthData(NPCs.Framework.Health), ResetToDefault(), an onTakeDamage event, set_MaxHealth, and a SyncVar-backed _currentHealth are added. This is the loud one since it fires per spawn.

2. AvatarAccessoryPatches+AvatarApplyAccessorySettingsPatch.TargetMethod() returns null (AvatarAccessoryPatches.cs lines 34-37)

Avatar.ApplyAccessorySettings(AvatarSettings) no longer exists, and neither does the rest of the AvatarSettings-driven surface on Avatar: every Apply*Settings, LoadAvatarSettings, LoadNakedSettings, CurrentSettings, appliedAccessories, onSettingsLoaded, GetMugshot. AvatarFramework.MugshotGenerator and the whole AvatarFramework.Customization namespace are removed. Replacement is the new ScheduleOne.Avatar namespace: Avatar.Appearance (AvatarAppearance), AvatarObjectLibrary, Avatar.Tools.MugshotGenerator.GenerateMugshot(NakedAppearance, Outfit, Action<Texture2D>), NakedAppearanceLoader, OutfitLoader, BasicAvatarSettingsConverter. AvatarSettings survives as a shim with EquivalentNakedAppearance and EquivalentOutfit; Accessory gained AvatarObjectEquivalent. There is no single method to retarget this patch to.

3. CustomProductManifestPlayerPatches.RequestPlayerDataPrefix has no target (CustomProductManifestPatches.cs line 55, the nameof(Player.RequestPlayerData))

Player.RequestPlayerData(string), ReceivePlayerData(...), and both Load(PlayerData...) overloads are removed. Added: RequestPlayerData_Server(string, bool), SetPlayerData_Client(NetworkConnection, FullPlayerData), SetPlayerNameAndId_Client/_Server, SetPlayerLoaded_Server, OnLocalPlayerLoaded(), CurrentAppearance (PlayerAppearance), and a new PlayerScripts.FullPlayerData type replacing the PlayerData plus loose strings shape.

Other removals under wrapped surfaces (not hit in a main-menu session)

Type	Removed	Added
GameTime.TimeManager	onSleepStart, onSleepEnd, IsSleepInProgress, HostSleepDone, WakeTime, StartSleep(), CheckSleepStart(), SetTimeAndSync, SkipForwardToTime	new GameTime.SleepController with OnSleepStart/OnSleepEnd events and EPhase; ISleepEvent; SetTime_Server, SkipToTimeAndSync, Normalized24HourTime. CurrentTime, ElapsedDays, GetMinutesFrom24HourTime unchanged. UI.SleepCanvas removed.
NPCs.NPCMovement	public Agent, agentCurrentPath, agentCurrentSpeed, WalkSpeed, RunSpeed, MoveSpeedMultiplier, UpdateSpeed(), WarpToNavMesh(), walkResultCallback; nested NPCSpeedController.SpeedControl	private _agent, _currentPath, SpeedController property, DefaultWalkSpeed, SetAgentSpeed, SetAgentAvoidancePriority, AgentDesiredVelocity, NavMeshAreaMask; new NPCs.SpeedControl, NPCSpeedPresets
NPCs.NPC	SendTextMessage(string), CreateMessageConversation()	AssignConversationMessage(MSGConversation), CreateAndAssignDefaultMessageConversation(), CreateMessageConversationWhenLocalPlayerExists(), UnassignConversationMessage(), Gender
Messaging.MSGConversation	Sendables field	private _sendables, SendPlayerMessage(SendableMessage, int, bool), GetSenderIcon(). currentResponses unchanged. IMessageEntity and ResponseCallback types removed; MessageContactInfo added
Dialogue	DialogueContainer type	Dialogue.Conversation
Clothing	ClothingUtility (+ ClothingSlotData, ColorData), EClothingApplicationType	ClothingConfiguration, ClothingSettings
UI.CharacterCreator.*	whole namespace	new top-level CharacterCreator namespace
Persistence.LoadManager	138 symbols removed, 140 added	needs its own read
Quests	Quest_TheDeepEnd	none

Removed types S1API still references by name: CharacterCreator, MugshotGenerator, ClothingUtility and its nested data types, EClothingApplicationType, DialogueContainer, NPCSpeedController.SpeedControl.

Verified unchanged: NPCManager.NPCRegistry, NPC.Avatar, NPC.SetVisible, Player.IsRagdolled, PlayerMovement.Teleport, CallManager.QueueCall, Phone.IsOpen, Business.OwnedBusinesses, Property.LoadingDocks, Property.EmployeeCapacity, Employee.IsAnyWorkInProgress, CurfewManager.OnUncappedMinPass, the Player arrest RPC, and all the employee work behaviour types.

New surfaces that might be worth wrapping

• SpecialCustomers.* (26 types): SpecialCustomerManager, SpecialCustomerLeader, SpecialCustomerCamp, SpecialCustomerGroupPOI, group save data, activities, and the queuecustomergroup console command
• Map.NPCEnterableBuilding: OnNPCEnteredBuilding, OnNPCExitedBuilding, GetOccupants()
• GameTime.SleepController phases and events
• Avatar.AvatarObjectLibrary and the Avatar.Creation editors (the patch notes say user-created cosmetics build on these later)
• New behaviours: ComputerBehaviour, ConversationBehaviour, DancingBehaviour, GuitarBehaviour, MoveToAndActBehaviour, PhoneBehaviour, SittingBehaviour, RevingBehaviour, ProtestingBehaviour

Repro

Switch to the beta branch in Steam, launch with MelonLoader and S1API 3.2.0, reach the main menu, read MelonLoader/Latest.log. The two HarmonyInit failures show during S1API init; the set_npc exception appears as soon as NPC prefabs awake.

Diffs were produced offline with S1Atlas (https://github.com/madjagstudios/S1Atlas) against a local install; no game content redistributed. The beta branch of this repo (3.1.0-beta.9, July) predates all of this, so nothing there covers it yet.

[ifBars]

Resolved on the beta line by #306 and published for testing as S1API 3.2.1-beta.1. Mono and IL2CPP builds, test suites, hosted checks, and clean startup smokes passed against Schedule I 0.4.7f5. Per prerelease policy, this release is GitHub-only.

[ifBars]

Reopening: beta.1 restored startup compatibility but knowingly disabled custom NPC mugshots, accessory icon generation, NPC Workbench preview, and parts of the legacy character-creator surface. That is not an acceptable prerelease completion state. The replacement 0.4.7 avatar renderer will be implemented and behaviorally validated on Mono and IL2CPP before a new prerelease is published.

[ifBars]

Published 3.2.1-beta.2 through #307. This restores generated NPC mugshots, accessory icons, NPC appearance workbench rendering/import, and current appearance getters. Mono and IL2CPP live captures were inspected for framing, standing/sitting/crouching/reset poses, requested accessories, and scene reload. Both contract suites and the hosted documentation/API compatibility gates passed. The downloaded release archive was verified and contains both runtimes plus the loader. Appearance and workbench docs are updated. This remains a GitHub-only game-beta prerelease. Keeping this broader compatibility issue open: this rendering follow-up does not restore character-creator preset selection or initial-settings application, and should not be read as complete validation of every changed native surface listed above.
