About this mod

Cute little Doxies are waiting for you. :)

Permissions and credits
File name: Doxie Companions
Version: 1.0
Author: BastetGoauld

UPDATE: Added russian version.
UPDATE 2: Added one more Doxie - the cream one. You can choose one of four Doxies' versions: common, common with collars, ultra-longhair and ultra-longhair with collars. Read the Readme file for instructions.
UPDATE 3: Fixed 'micro-dog' bug - Doxies won't become smaller at level 5 anymore.

Two little Doxies are waiting for you near Chorrol stables. Pick up their bowls to get summon spells.
These dogs can fight for you, but they aren't strong and tough fighters. They're essential though and will slowly regenerate their health
if get hit in battle.
They'll gain levels with your character and increase their Strength, Agility, Endurance and size every five levels, but they won't grow up
really big - they're just little Doxies after all. :) They'll stop growing bigger at level 30.
Important note: You should sleep to make your dog grow up. Dogs' growing script won't work if your character levels up without sleeping.

You can give your Doxies the following commands:
'Wait here' - dog will be waiting for you at the same spot as long as needed and won't fight even if someone attacks her
'Let's go' - dog will follow you, but won't fight even if someone attacks her or you
'Defend' - dog will follow you and attack your enemies
'Relax' - dog will wander and defend herself if needed
'Food reward' - you can feed your dog if you have one of the following ingredients in your inventory: rat meat, crab meat, beef,
boar meat, ham, mutton, venison (for roleplaying only, doesn't have any practical use)
'Stroke' - another roleplaying feature to interact with your pet
'Your home is here' - dog will remember this place as her home
'Go home' - dog will run to her 'home' spot
"Wait here" or "Let's go" command can be used to make your dog stop fighting if you're already in battle.

INSTALLATION:
Unpack content of the archive and drop Meshes folder, Textures folder and Doxie_Companions.esp to your Oblivion's Data folder.
Merge the folders if needed.
Open any mod manager (OBMM, WryeBash or vanilla launcher) and check the box for Doxie_Companions.esp.
If you already have version 1.0 installed, delete old files before you install the new 1.1 version.
If you already have this mod installed, download one of "esp only" archives and overwrite your Doxie_Companions.esp file to fix 'micro-dog' bug.


KNOWN ISSUES:
Doxies aren't fast runners, so they won't be able to follow you properly if you're riding and your horse is fast. Use their summon spells
if they get lost.
Sometimes they can't go trough city gates. You can use summon spells to help them.
Using stairs is very hard for them. Again - use summon spells if they get stuck.
If you use two or more commands one by one for the same dog, stroking and feeding messages sometimes don't show up. This bug doesn't break
any command functions. I couldn't find the way to fix it, so just ignore it.
