Key features:
- Your dog will follow you and can be told to sit down and wait. If you enter an interior, it will wait for you outside.
- Whistle to call your dog back to you. Notice that there is a whistling range, and if your dog is too far, it won't respond to your calls.
- If it's lost, you can retrieve you dog by interacting with your main horse and activating the correct prompt.
- You dog will intervene in melee fights and attack your opponents.
- You can order your dog to attack other animals or npcs.
- Your dog will help you hunt in various ways: after you hunt an animal, your dog will run towards its location and start barking, helping you to find it (unless it was told to stay).
- When tracking an animal, your dog will use it's senses and help find it quickly.
- Your dog will get agitated by nearby predators and attack them if they're too close.
- The mod adds a dedicated new core for your dogs health. The lower his core is, the slower his health regenerates.
- In order to fully recover your dogs core and health, it needs to be fed with hunted prey.
- The mod provides full ingame tutorials and hints.
- You may give your dog a name and change it anytime ingame.
- You may dismiss your dog at anytime.
- Some of the features are toggleable via the settings file under RDR2/DogCompanion/DogCompanion.ini.
Known issues:
- Dogs original color is not saved, and a default color is used. This is because there is no way (that I know about) to retrieve a peds outfit index. If you know anything about it, let me know.
- The dogs core is misplaced when using Expanded radar mode. If you find it too annoying, you may toggle the cores of in the settings file.
