Changelogs
Version 3.2.4
-- Script edit to fix a value being misreported when checking Paxon's stats.
Version 3.2.3
-- Script edits to fix additional "OpenMW" issues.
Version 3.2.2
-- Script edit to fix an issue users of "OpenMW" were having with "In-Combat" warping behaviors.
-- Probably some other stuff, I don't know.
Version 3.2.1
-- Text and bug fixes.
-- Script optimizations. The mod should run better overall.
-- Attack damage increased. Was previously 2-6/1-2/4-12, is now 4-12/1-10/5-15.
-- Various stat value reductions for balance reasons.
-- Companion maximum Strength reduced from 125 to 100.
-- Companion maximum health reduced to 200.
-- Companion maximum AR reduced from 175 to 115.
Version 3.1.8
-- Minor text and bug fix update.
-- Text for NPC class "Champion" under "- My Pack Rat -" was doubled.
-- Menu options for changing "Stay Outside" values were not set correctly.
-- Removed references to defunct global value in various dialogue responses.
Version 3.1.7
-- Minor bugfix release.
-- Fixes for some grammatical errors.
-- Cleaned up references to old Globals related to a reworked feature.
-- Fixes to a couple math errors in the level reporting script.
-- 'Mabrigash' class NPCs assigned their correct '- My Pack Rat -' topic response.
-- Added 'One-Time Move' feature back to the mod by request.
-- Tweaks to 'Level-Up' script to reduce script size and improve some calculations.
Version 3.1.6
-- Across the board stat reduction. As a general rule of thumb, Paxon will have half your stats (up to 50 for most stats), and 2 times your health (up to a max of 275).
-- Added 'Check Paxon's Stats' option in the 'Health' dialogue menu.
-- Attack damage changed. Was previously 4-12/4-12/4-12, is now 2-6/1-2/4-12.
-- Paxon has had maximum strength reduced from 255 to 125. (No, I don't get it either.)
-- Added "Durable Mode" toggle. Gives Paxon 9999 health and 255 strength, but removes any sort of offensive capability. Use this toggle if you just want him to act as a porter. This option may be found in the 'Health' menu, but only when Paxon is at Full Health.
-- Replaced 'Auto-Move' and 'One-Time Move' with 'Swap Places' code. Can be utilized by jumping and activating Paxon, or from dialogue under the 'Move' option.
-- Added code to allow the player to easily put Paxon into 'Wait' or 'Follow' mode by first sneaking, and then activating Paxon while doing so.
-- Improved underwater following code.
-- Improved "AIFix" Script.
-- Paxon water-walks by default unless you are sufficiently underwater. This is to prevent the 'Levitation' spellcast animation used in the underwater code from firing all the time.
-- Code tweaks to try and prevent the 'Swishy Pack Rat' bug that people were experiencing.
-- Added dialogue responses (the "My Pack Rat" topic) based on NPC class.
-- Removed "Packless Pack Rat" .esp from archive. Was confusing to new mod users.
-- Other minor dialogue fixes.
-- I forget stuff, so there's probably other things I added that I am missing.
-- Oh! Right, I added code so that Paxon sneaks with you in a better fashion. I told you I forget stuff.
Version 2.3.2
-- Code tweaks to ensure smooth transitions from walking to running animations.
-- Checks added to ensure Paxon is not dragged along with you if he somehow dies.
-- Dialogue changes to reduce the volume and frequency of squeaking when selecting options.
-- Paxon will now have a minimum of 155 health, before any other adjustments or increases.
-- Paxon can now warp with you into certain end game expansion areas.
-- Added code to prevent Paxon from following you if you have not spoken to him.
-- Added code to enable Paxon to follow you when using the 'Vampire' amulet warp items.
-- Leveling code tweaks. Paxon is tougher at lower levels now, with slightly less offense.
