Supporting Creatures From Other Mods:
Mod-added creatures or npc's can be made compatible with the framework from this mod by simply adding them to the Faction IncPetFaction and giving them the IncPetNoCombatPerk and Lightfoot Perks. After that you will be able to adopt or abandon them as you see fit.
Known Imperfections:
- Pets still rely on navmesh for pathfinding so no matter how fast they are they may lag behind occasionally, or be forced to follow at greater distances than their mcm-configurable package preset encourages
- Vampire Lords, Werebears, and Werewolves will often play their transformation animations and sound effects when loading in. These can be quite loud. I am exploring a non-intrusive pet-specific behaviours (.hkx) solution for this, but for now you'll have to quiet/mute it indiscriminately or live with it (see Optional downloads section)
- Similarly Giants shake the screen when moving. This can be fixed with behaviour edits (a mod does this for all Giants already), but I would like to support a pet-only solution as well
- If you have expertise with custom behaviours (.hkx) please contact me!
Physically bumping into animals (or possibly any Actor) causes a hardcoded detection event making nearby hostiles more alert to your presence. I have provided two ways to alleviate this issue: (1) Pets AI Packages all prompt them to move away from the player when within 90 units distance - providing you leave that MCM option enabled. (2) Activating any Pet will forcibly offset them in the direction you are facing (useful if they're about to run into you or otherwise won't get out of your way in a timely manner) for the next 5 seconds- The above is fixed for anyone with Papyrus Extender and either Disable Follower Collision or I'm Walkin' Here installed :D
