0.36.2834 - Rare monsters logic

One big upgrade to the recent monsters generation logic - now some monsters can be marked as “rare”. Currently those are: Thief Slime, Overthief and Alarmist.

First of all, such monsters cannot be the only monster kind on the level, they are support monsters that either help other monsters to find the player character or can snatch a piece for themselves while heroine is busy fighting, not something directly effective in combat. Also this feature guarantees that these monsters are less numerous than regularly, they don’t make much sense in crowds.

Second, now these monsters can randomly spawn in patrols. There can be some difficulty problems with this decision, e.g. thief slime will steal items without waking up the girl and then try to find it somewhere around the, now repopulated dungeons, especially if the weapon is gone. Of course one can try sleeping in temporary items, that are not essential if go missing, but it might not be the most fun game mechanics. Up to heavy testing :)

One more hopefully good for balance feature: monsters now can soft guard. If guards always return to their guard point after trying to fight the player character, soft guards will not return and will start moving around randomly. Also, unlike guards they will be more eager to respond to other monsters alert signals, but will return to the point of origin unless actually see an intruder directly. This reduces the amount of “initially” active monsters by half, still keeping total 50% of the monsters number potentially active around.

And finally, in addition to other small fixes/changes/improvements several important features have been added to Debug UI. We finally have to track down and fix that stupid bug with roll action :)
