She's not a super strong fighter, but in cat-from she can still fight
After 8 months (more like 8 hours actually, as i've been quite busy) i still can't find a way to get her to stay in cat form while fighting: looking at the "in battle, i know my Smores..." menu it seems there should be a "can't trasform" option below "will never back down", "wouldn't hurt a fly" and "can trasform", but there isn't(?)
[Edit]
And of course 5 minutes after typing the above i finally managed to achieve the feat... except i still don't know how i did it, so an explanation would be much appreciated anyway.
Won't back down = sets aggression high so she will fight. Wouldn't hurt a fly = no aggression so she shouldn't fight. Can transform = toggle between allowing the transformation or not.
I knew that already: the problem is the last one doesn't seem to work for me and will default to allowing her trasformation regardless of how many times it gets toggled (including 0)
After further testing, the trick seems to be to tell her not to fight, then engage some enemy and tell her to fight while the battle is still ongoing: from then on she fights without trasforming.
(She indeed does very little damage in cat form, but still tanks like a champ which is perfect for me)
Incidentally, you wouldn't be interested in doing more cats/other pets? Transformation aside, the "teleport-to-player" is a massive QoL that all other pets (and the vast majority of companions as well) are sorely missing...
Sorry, but I'm done with modding this game. And sorry for any troubles with what I have made. I'm honestly not even a programmer. I took up working on this purely as a hobby and logic puzzle.
The script in this mod is completely open to use. It's also all vanilla, don't need OBSE or anything. It truly isn't that hard to lift the code, change the names of the scripts and stuff, and attach it to a different npc. I encourage others to give it a shot. I read the "Morrowind Modding Guide for Dummies" and you can see what I've made from that.
Sorry I won't be coming back to modding. I did have a lot of fun learning and applying my crazy ideas into workable mods. So long, and thanks for all the downloads.
cat-form Smores is small enough to have some problems climbing stairs.
That's the same issue Zilla's Battlecats (and many other pets) have: can't you make Smores automatically teleport to the player when too far (while following) like many companion mods do?
Tested her and she's great, but i can't find the option to keep her from trasforming during combat: only the option to allow her to is present in the combat menu, which she already does by default anyway...
