MOD NAME:
Maigrets My Dog Rosie
AUTHOR:

Version

***This Readme is from the old original version so I've left the updates at the top. NOTE that the old files are not included in this mod. The meshes and textures in this version were made especially for me by Waalx.
If anyone had been using the old mod a clean save will be necessary before using this one.
Updated changes from the old file:
1. Removed the object that gives the summon spell. The spell will now be added when first activating Rosie.
2. Added sneak function to Rosie's main script. She will sneak with you, but obviously not crouch. She won't react to enemies until either you are detected in sneak mode or you come out of sneak mode normally. This relies entirely on YOUR sneak skill. I'm not adding chameleon. I think it's a bit pointless really.
3. Healing Ability has been heavily reduced for realism. She also now has Resist Poison 75% and Resist Magicka 50%. The reason for this is I've been finding certain poisons and some enchantments in some mods cause lasting damaging effects to companions, and since she is essential they can become permanent, so this should help.
DESCRIPTION:
This mod is based on my real life, very loved dog who died at the age of 15 years in January 2007. I asked on the Bethsoft Official Mod Forums back then if anyone could make a dog companion for me. This was waaaay before I even had the CS installed let alone know how to do it myself.
Very kindly, Cryonaut answered my request and made me a custom mesh and texture and put her in game for me. However, he was unable to give her AI and the create a companion from the files, so they sat on my hard drive for nearly 18 months.
When I started making my own creature companions I finally made Rosie and have been using her in my game for a very long time.
She is a little bigger than the default dog and her ears are turned over. In reality she was about the size of a labrador with ears that flopped over a bit.
I've decided to share her with anyone who might like her. There's no quest.
Rosie can be found near her kennel close to the IC Waterfront Shack.
She will wander around the area, so just walk around and find her. She may even have wandered to the lighthouse. When first activated she will give you her Summon Spell so she can be called if she gets stuck, which sometimes happens with any companion especially in small corridors in some ruins, or if you've left her somewhere.
She can be activated the same way as my other creature companions. Tell her to either come with you or stay and she will do the rest. When she is told to wait she has a fairly wide wander range, so just summon her if you can't find her for some reason.
She is essential and has her own healing ability for use in battle. She is player owned and will not attack you or friends unless you start the fight.
You can change her name if you want in the CS or open the console in game, click on her and type -
setactorfullname "New Name" - The name must be in quotes. Close the console and save. However, her name will remain the same in on screen messages and that can only be changed in her script.
REQUIREMENTS:
I have Shivering Isles installed but no assets from SI were used. Oblivion must be patched to 1.2 otherwise this mod will not work.
INSTALL:
Extract the esp, meshes and textures to a temporary folder and check the folder structure if necessary. Then move the files to your Oblivion Data Directory. Activate the esp and head for the IC Waterfront.
UNINSTALL:
Remove these files:
My Dog Rosie esp
textures\creatures\dog\dog_blackw.dds
meshes\creatures\dog\wac_dogblack_body.nif
meshes\creatures\dog\wac_dogblack_eyes.nif
meshes\creatures\dog\wac_dogblack_head.nif
Your saves won't be affected. Just answer yes to the message regarding missing content next time you load your game.
COMPATIBILITY:
There should be no incompatibility with any other mods as far as I am aware unless something changes the area next to the IC shack because that's where her kennel is located.
