I also have a duplicate Dusty still (have had one since the start), even with the new update. He also still judges me for digging in the trash, the miserable mutt. Lol. Not game-breaking, but I do still have both issues with the latest update.
I've noticed a little bug, where you end up with duplicate Dusty's. There will be one in his vanilla spot, laying in front of his doghouse, but then the other mobile one will be walking around town. Kinda strange bug!
As for event ideas, I thought of a cute one where he's digging in the beach and digs up a crab or something that dances around and spooks him. Then you have to either comfort him or chase the crab away. You could get the crab as an item afterwards, maybe?
I don't... see that? Downloading it from Nexus with both the Stardrop autodownload and the manual zip file download both give a 1.0.0 version of the file. I tried poking around and I can't seem to figure out what to download. Also, I haven't gotten there yet, but does Dusty retreat inside the house during the Green Rain? Seems like something they shouldn't leave doggo out for lol
Go to the Files tab here, Manual Download the 1.0.16 version. When downloaded, unzip the folder. Go to your Mods folder. Delete the old [Endwyr]DustyNPC folder. Upload the new [Endwyr]DustyNPC folder.
I'm afraid it doesn't fix the problem. I think the issue is that the file itself isn't uploaded to Nexus correctly, maybe? Manually downloading a fresh file gives a manifest doc that says it's the 1.0.0 version, despite everything before that saying it should be 1.0.16. So I don't really know where the problem is, sadly :/
Heyy, the manifest being a different number really doesn't matter, it's honestly just cosmetic. I had a friend bugtest it to verify it's working, and it is on my end and his. Can you provide any more information?
Just a note for accuracy sake. Bone fragments are a known health issue for dogs. It's why it's recommended to not keep the bones in cooked meat when you serve it to your dog. The softened bones splinter easily and get stuck in their throat. With this in mind, I suggest moving Prehistoric Bones to loved and move Bone Fragments to either disliked or hated.
I have a few event ideas, though I'm not sure how easy they'd be to code.
Dusty's ball/Frisbee gets stuck on Pam's roof (or any other structure - such as the fence). He is sitting there begging for it to fall, unable to tear himself away. Either the dog has done it himself, or Evelyn was playing with the pup and can't quite reach it. Player has the ability to help by: 1: Attempt to dislodge the toy. (Player succeeds: throws ball, dog chases after, fade to black.) 2: Try to console Dusty and redirect his attention to a different toy. (Potentially reuse previous scene.) 3) Walk away. (Alex later retrieves the ball.)
Dusty isn't acting like himself - he keeps raising his paw and won't put much pressure on it. Turns out - there's a splinter/cut. 1: Help bandage it yourself. 2: Fetch Harvey for help. 3: Fetch Alex for assistance.
