Version v3.01a
Create a checking function to check if the npc AI package was changed after wait \ sleep before update it position.
Two major benefits bring by this function:
1. Will prevent unnecessary position update function calling on an npc that have not changed it AI destination.
For example, if a city guard will guard the gate for a whole day, let's assume that will be 12 hours he will stay at his postion . Then if you wait 3 hours in front of him, the position updating function will not running on him. In the previous version , the function will run on him.
2. Allow update npc's position when it wake up from sleeping.
In the previous veriosn, updating function won't run on a sleeping NPC, now it will work.
Version v2.12
Fix a CTD Issue that occurs sometime in exterior cell : CTD when calling "MoveTo PackageLocation" Function from VM after move npc to it editor location . Fix method : Use only "Move To Nearest Navmesh Position" when in exterior to reset actor AI.

Will not update a tempory actor ( with ID "ffxxxxx") after fast travel end.
Version v2.10
Add a "Move To Nearest Navmesh Position" function to allow reset AI of NPCs which has not an Editor Location Ref Marker.(For example, some Npcs in Raven Rock, Windhelm)
Add a INI setting option in mod's "AIProcessFix Settings.ini" file, named "EnableUpdateModAddNPCs". Which allow you to disable the plugin pos updating functions's running on NPCs added by mods.

Do some minor adjustment based on V2.04a, try to make the fix work better.
Version v2.04a
Remove a line of redunat codes which will cause the "menumode state" fix patch in V2.04 doesn't work during sleeping. (A Code writing mistake.)

Version v2.03
Fixed a minor issue : sometimes NPCs current AI Action won't work properly after updating (for example, actor's using furniture animation didn't play).
Add a checking function to check if the game is currently in Menu Mode( Is the game paused?) before start any sleeping/waiting function. Report back to me if that conflict with any other Menu Mode modification Mod.
Version v2.02
Add a safety check before calling a actor's editor location pointer, prevent the CTD issue occurred when the editor location pointer is null.
Version v2.01
Version 2.01 could be called as a "Remake" of this mod.
In V2.01 Update, I use a completely new set of functions to reset an npc's AI state, and remove all the old method functions that used "disable" and "enable" to reset a NPC's AI state.
This new set of functions will let the plugin performs in a much more stable and effective, as well as will compelety fix some issues that caused by the old method.
Known Issues that fixed by this update includes:
1. Npcs were disabled and disappered after waiting or sleeping.
2. Npcs with "Enable State Parent"(for instance, City Guards) can't get their positions updating correctly due to the limitation of disable and enable functions.

Try to fix the crash issue when autosave or manual save that caused by the misorder callback event functions triggered.
Make a warning message box that would pop up when abnormal issue caught.

Version 4.02a - Completely Fix the Issues after Waiting and Sleeping!
Version 4.02a completely fix the issue that NPC AI process position not update after waiting and sleeping! Read this article for detail : https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/articles/2656
Issue Descriptions:
Maybe you already find out an old issue in vanilla skyrim game which is always bothering you - Some NPCs daily life schedule positions could not be updated correctly once you make a waiting\ sleeping \ fast travel lasting longer than one hour.
That’s due to a skyrim’s game engine limitation which could only update a NPC’s AI process position for one hour at most if that NPC ‘s loaded in current loaded cells (a high AI Process one).
Therefore, you probably meet the issue that when you waiting or sleeping in an Inn all night, the NPCs won't go home, instead they still stay at the inn the next morning.
That may even cause the NPCs blocking the door when they leave the Inn if you have installed some AI Overhaul Mod. (“Immersive citizens”, for example) Because such mod will cause many NPCs visit the Inn at night.
Besides, the loaded NPCs in the fast travel destination will not update their daily life schedule positions due to the same reason.
Mod Features:
To this, I try to fix such game engine limitation in source code’s degree through a DLL plugin.
The plugin will detect every waiting\ sleeping \ fast travel in game, and calculate the lasting time of this waiting\ sleeping \ fast travel.
If the lasting time is longer than the Minimum Trigger Hours (2 hours by default, can modify in the INI File ), the updating position function will trigger and all the humandio character NPCs who matches the conditions will be updated the position by the mod's functions，sending them to the correct place in the correct time.
(1) Download and Install the mod files with mod manager.
(2) Disable all the auto save options triggerd when sleep, wait, fasttravle in game, include auto save options that added by mods. (Not necessary, but recommended)
INI Setting:
Go to Data\SKSE\Plugins\MaxsuAIProcessFixFiles, check the INI file for in game setting modifications.
Compatibility Issues:
Fully Compatible with:
Fully compatible with AI Overhaul SSE or any AI Overhaul Mod that doesn't include any AI Package added by "Quest Alias".
To create a patch for your AI Overhaul Mod, see this article: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/articles/2463
Incompatible with:
(1) Incompatible with Closing Time, my mod already did all the things instead of it.
(2) Incompatible with SOT CASM's "Save When Sleeping" and "Save When Fast Traveling" function. You should turn these two option off in SOT CASM's MCM. Also, Incompatible with any mod that trigger a game saving in the process of sleeping\waiting or fast travle.
Mod Limitations and Issues:
(1) NPCs may have a visibly “fade in” effect for a second when their positions got updating by the mod’s function. Some NPCs may teleport in front of you by coincidentally.
(2) Mod function only works and runs for humanoid character type NPCs, not works for animal or creatures NPCs.
(3) Not works for NPCs in scene (during dialogue, for example). Not works for NPC who has quest alias AI package (exclude AI Overhaul mod’s package). Not works for NPCs in combat.
(4) Sometime the updating positions of several NPCs may be fail, this may happen when you have too many NPCs stayed in a cell. It also relate to your CPU Performance, the higher the performance, the lower fail chance.
Q&A:
Question: Would that mod cause NPC's Quest Process be Broken?
Answer: The mod's function will not runs on any NPC who in a quest AI Process, therefore you should not worry about it.
Question: I have meet some issue in game need to report to you, what should I do?
Answer: Firstly, quit the game to the desktop and don't re-start it. Then, go to "C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition\SKSE" folder, find the log file "MaxsuAIProcessFix.log" and store it well. When you come here to report your issues, please send me the log file at the same time. Since I can't collect the detail information withoout the log files.
