Better Pup AI (not currently being updated)

NOTICE: This mod will likely not be updated anytime in the foreseeable future. I would like to make it better, but stuff in real life have basically resulted in me having no motivation to try and work on it. Sorry to anyone who was looking forward to an update.






Makes pups smarter!

NEW: I'm currently working on a new pathfinder for Slugpups! This is still a work in progress, but you can still use it. It's enabled by default, but you can turn it off in the config menu to go back to how this mod was before.


Currently prevents Slugpups from attempting to use creature shortcuts, allows Pups to jump from the top of a pole in order to grab a higher up pole, and allows Pups to jump down to lower platforms.

Also includes a config menu, where you can turn each of these AI changes off. (Note: Turning the setting to prevent Slugpups from using creature shortcuts off will also allow them to actually use them)


Since it's been asked so much, I'll just answer here: As far as BeastMasterPupsExtra goes, they should be compatible, but the exact behavior may vary with load order. And I have no clue how the custom pups will work.



Still a work in progress, as it's currently more of a band-aid fix. So some issues are to be expected, but it still improves a Slugpup's navigational abilities.

Possible Future Plans:
- allow Pups to long jump
- make the solution more robust, instead of just a band-aid fix

Known Bugs:
- Slugpups sometimes get stuck climbing up/down a pole, and may need to be grabbed to fix
- Slugpups sometimes turn upside-down while standing on a horizontal pole, but usually it otherwise doesn't affect their behavior

If you find any more odd behavior with this mod, let me know where and what so I can look into it.
