Name: Where Are You Now - Companion Tracking
Version: 1.4
Date: 2016-04-26
Author: drdanzel

DESCRIPTION
============
This mod adds toggleable miscellaneous quests with map and compass markers for the companions you want.

At the moment this mod uses the console to add the quests to your quest log. This only has to be done once, after that the quest can be toggled freely. This is a temporary solution and soon as the GECK is released I will modify this so that the quest is added automatically.

THE CONSOLE MENU OR BAT FILE ONLY HAS TO BE USED ONCE, AFTER THAT THE QUEST STAYS UNTIL YOUR MOVE IT.

HOW TO USE THE MOD
===================
1. Make sure the mod is installed, the .esp is enabled and that the correct batch files are in your Data folder.

2. Launch the game, open up the console and use to console menu to start the quest you want. This only has to be done once.
You can also write the bat command for the companions you want.

These are the commands you can use:
bat trackAll - Adds/removes tracking quests for all companions.
bat trackCait - Adds/removes tracking quest for Cait.
bat trackCodsworth - Adds/removes tracking quest for Codsworth.
bat trackCurie - Adds/removes tracking quest for Curie.
bat trackDanse - Adds/removes tracking quest for Danse.
bat trackDeacon - Adds/removes tracking quest for Deacon.
bat trackDogmeat - Adds/removes tracking quest for Dogmeat.
bat trackHancock - Adds/removes tracking quest for Hancock.
bat trackMacCready - Adds/removes tracking quest for MacCready.
bat trackPiper - Adds/removes tracking quest for Piper.
bat trackPreston - Adds/removes tracking quest for Preston.
bat trackStrong - Adds/removes tracking quest for Strong.
bat trackValentine - Adds/removes tracking quest for Valentine.
bat trackX688 - Adds/removes tracking quest for X6-88.
bat trackBuddy - Adds/removes tracking quest for Buddy.
bat trackAda - Adds/removes tracking quest for Ada.

If you ever want to remove the quests, just add "un" in front of the command batch file name, i.e. "untrackAll".
If you'd prefer not to use batch files, you can see the console commands used in the "Commands" section of this description.

4. Close the console and look in the miscellaneous tab in your quest log. The quests you wanted are now there and can be toggled on and off.

INSTALLATION
=============
First of all, make sure you have made all the necessary configurations to enable mods in Fallout 4.
If you haven't, check out this guide to learn how: FALLOUT 4 - Enabling Modding for PC by Gopher (http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/Videos/88/).

I seriously recommend installing through the Nexus Mod Manager. The installation wizard guides you through the steps, and it minimizes the potential for future errors. Other mod managers, such as the Fallout 4 Mod Manager, are not recommended and will probably give you a "wrong structure"-error.

With Nexus Mod Manager (NMM):
1. Download the mod by clicking "Download with manager".
2. Activate the mod in Nexus Mod Manager and follow the installation guide.

Manual installation:
1. Manually download the .zip file containing the mod.
2. Open the .zip using a file archiver.
3. Choose the batch files (text files) you want. These are separated by their categories in the folders 1 - Batch Files.
4. Extract your chosen batch files along with the main esp into the Data folder (not in any subfolder) of your Fallout 4 installation.
5. For the console menu, copy the interface folder and it's contents from 02 Console Menu\DEF_CM\ to your Data folder.
6. Open plugins.txt (located in C:\Users\-username-\AppData\Fallout4) and add the name of the .esps you chose to the list.

UNINSTALLATION
===============
With Nexus Mod Manager (NMM):
1. Deactivate the mod by double-clicking it.
2. Mark the deactived mod and uninstall or delete it.

Manual uninstallation:
1. Remove all files associated with the mod from your Data folder.
2. Remove the name of the .esp from plugins.txt.
