About this mod

Increases companion riding speed, reduces stamina drain, improves camera rotation range, reduces steering weight, and reduces the teleport-to-player distance to help prevent pet from despawning. Now updated for Endurance (3.98)!

Permissions and credits
Changelogs
This was originally just some small changes I made to make companions a little more useful as an alternative means of transportation, but after seeing a number of people over on the reddit expressing their desire for companion riding to not be so slow, I decided to make this its own mod and share it!

Note 6/18/23: I haven't forgotten about maintaining this mod, i've just had a lot of stuff going on in my personal life right now, I'll get this updated when I get a good chance to!


What's it do?

-Added in 1.3:
  • reduced cooldown on Teleport-to-player behavior to 0 (from 10), to hopefully help pets to teleport to you more reliably

-Added in 1.2:
  • reduced the steering weight by half - this makes turning easier while riding
  • reduces companion's teleport-to-player distance a tiny bit more to help prevent them from despawning a little better (changed from 110 to 90)
  • converts the old stamina drain changes over to different companion-only values.  This makes the companion's stamina changes no longer affect your Traveller and the main mod no longer uses GCPLAYERGLOBALS.GLOBAL.MBIN.  An alternate Infinite Stamina version of the mod is also available. 
  • to compensate for anyone who liked having infinite stamina on both Traveller and Companions on the older versions, a separate .lua script and .pak have been provided in the Optional section. This applies the change using GCPLAYERGLOBALS.GLOBAL.MBIN.  You'll still need to use either the main or optional version of the mod for all the other changes.

-Added in 1.1:
  • improved the camera rotation while mounted, so now you can look around more freely while riding -especially while looking through scanner

-Added in  1.0 :
  • increases the riding speed for companions by roughly 2.5x
  • reduces stamina drain rate significantly to allow your mount to sprint for much longer.  An alternate Infinite Stamina version is also available.
  • summoned companion's teleport-to-player distance was reduced (Changed from 150 to 110) to help prevent them from despawning so frequently by forcing them to teleport to you sooner.


Compatibility
This mod will conflict with anything that modifies the files listed below.  A lua script has been provided so it can be merged with other mods by using AMUMSS.
  • METADATA\SIMULATION\ECOSYSTEM\CREATUREPETBEHAVIOURTABLE.MBIN
  • GCCREATUREGLOBALS.MBIN
  • GCCAMERAGLOBALS.GLOBAL.MBIN
  • GCPLAYERGLOBALS.GLOBAL.MBIN (only if using Infinite Stamina for both Traveller and Companions)


Known Issues:
  • flying companions don't seem to be effected by the riding speed or steering weight changes.  If I can figure out how to fix this, I will do so.
  • Pets don't seem like they are able to teleport to you while you are in the air, in which case they will despawn instead of teleporting if you go too far away.

 
Notes
I don't have much experience when it comes to modding NMS, and my experience with lua script is even less so.  I knew enough from looking at the luas of other mods to make the simple changes for this mod and that's about it.  If anyone has a better understanding of lua script than I do, feel free to either contact me or make the changes yourself. 

This mod is also originally balanced to feel right for my own companions which are on the larger size (though not outrageously huge), so I'm not sure how it feels for smaller creatures, or massively large ones. Feel free to leave any suggestions + ideas for future additions in the comments!
