took a massive break on mods after the last Winnebago update and played some S.T.A.L.K.E.R, Metro Last Light, alot of Skyrim, and a little GTA5... which i stopped abruptly, because out of ALL my mods crockett seriously needed an update more than i needed to escape reality! there's a general difficulty in revisiting old scripts and re-editing them, following declared variables down their respective rabbit holes. but the toughest part was trying to dial in crockett's unique voice. for me it's more noticeable in headphones but i guess it kinda gives him more range now. like some dialogue sounds more excited and some sounds more serious. but regardless if you liked crockett before, you'll prolly like crockett even more! it's science... crockett's law. look it up... if it's not there edit wikipedia and make it so.
new in update v1.1:
+ ALL assets of the mod are now contained in the .BSA (thanks to BSAopt which knows how to pack and flag .ogg files correctly) so DELETE the original voice folder if you're updating from the older crockett!
+ a general elaboration on everything really; crockett can be more engaging. there's more shenanigans! more idle chatter, which can be toggled by follow distance.
+ lip-synching! now his voicebox lights up when he speaks.
+ boost functionality! this was an after thought which ended up being like my favorite thing. with this feature you can get to areas normally out of reach, run around on rooftops, snipe ghouls from a billboard, etc...
+ finally the option of disabling & enabling explosives weapons!!! really, this should've been here from the start...
+ repair system! IF crockett dies you can fix him...
+ more unlockables! instead of messaging you cvars to type into your console, i've implemented an honor system to see if you've endorsed or not. this was an aspect of the mod i thought nobody had done before.
if you're still using original crockett 1.0 hit tilde "~" key to access the console click on crockett so it says "crockett" top and center then type: "say k1cendorse" hit enter and exit console.
Not sure, if you're still modding but this is legit my favorite companion mod. f*#@ the rest of these companion mods that just give me some sort of wasteland girlfriend. Crockett is the only girlfriend I need.
The only thing I can think of to improve this mod is maybe a little more backstory for Crocket. Like what is he?(Besides a securitron). I'm guessing he's some sort of a prototype emergency/model model for people lost in the wilderness or maybe the park ranger equivalent to regular securitrons, albiet modified. It'd explain why he's seemed so equipped with survivalist stuff and utility(the rocket launchers are for bears). It'd be cool to find a terminal about him or maybe a broken anologue in Zion or something(I don't know I'm spitballing)
Anyway, regardless. this one is still one of my favorite companions that'll i'll be sure to include in all my playthroughs.
I agree with everyone else, very underrated companion. He's the best Securitron follower I've found, having a unique look, voice, & personality. This should be a mod all other robot companions are judged by. Love his homespun wisdom & the fact he plays the Davey Crockett theme.
On behalf of AlChestbreach and I (being myself) have a simple question, do Crockett's sentences not begin with capitals as a stylist choice was that forgotten? Because I notice that the player has capitals.
Love this guy, his random chatter is awsome. WANT MORE!!!!
would love to hear him say things from classic robot movies such as Danger Danger Will Robinson, or maybe Dead or Alive punk your coming with me!(rrobocop) either way more chatter would be cool.
also what would be cool, would be to add stuff to him like a Mohawk or spikes like johnny 5, or maybe you can find parts to upgrade him from mark 2 to 2.5 then 2.9, never quite reaching mark 3
maybe scripted chatter like when you reach certain areas he says some thing unique like if you reach Sloan says something like "i heard this was death-claw country, best keep your eyes peeled" or like when you reach ivanpah lake he says something like "get ready set go!!!, or the sound of the lights changing from a race track. " maybe hit on some back story, like when i reach bolder city i always imagine that he wants to place a bet with a bookie there.
found a bug. seems he wont take my irradiated water but still gives me a purified water. the irradiated water isn't removed from my inventory.
