Miria Can Wait patch for the Fallout 2 Restoration Project Updated mod

When this patch is applied, Miria can be told to wait at her current location, just like other party NPCs (Sulik, Cassidy, etc.). The player can then return and ask her to rejoin the party. This prevents Miria to be killed in hard battles. This patch does not extend any other functionality of Miria, only the above described one.

Prerequisites:

• Windows 10 or 11
• Fallout 2 with RPU installed. This patch is tested with the latest RPU for the moment: v2.4.34, so please install first this version of the RPU, following all the installation instructions:
  • https://github.com/BGforgeNet/Fallout2_Restoration_Project?tab=readme-ov-file#installation
  • https://github.com/BGforgeNet/Fallout2_Restoration_Project/releases/tag/v2.4.34
  • This patch is not guaranteed to work with other versions of RPU until tested, but it might.
  • Applying this patch does not require to start a new Fallout 2 game. The current save, made with Fallout 2 RPU, will work.
• PowerShell 7 installed (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/install/install-powershell-on-windows)
