Walter - The AI Companion

Description
Ever wanted to play Don't Starve Together alone without feeling abandoned?
Team up with Walter, Wilson's twin brother, and never starve alone again.

This mod adds a new brain to let Walter play alone.
Configure how many Walters you want to be playing with or, if you just want to see it working, just press the brain and let your character roam the world alone!

To run this mod you will need a companion console application that will tell Walter what to do. Download the latest release and run it before you run the game:
https://github.com/hineios/FAtiMA-DST/releases

If you feel like you wanna try and give your Walter a personal touch, you'll find instructions on how to do so in the GitHub repository:
https://github.com/hineios/FAtiMA-DST

Give it a try and be sure to let me know what you achieve!

***** Limitations & Considerations *****
The main goal of this mod is to provide a platform for the development of agents, not the developing the agents themselves.
I recommend using a different console application for each save game.
This console application only runs on Windows.
Also, the console application needs to be running on the same computer as the Don't Starve Server. (If one of your friends has created the game, HE must be running the companion app for this mod to run).
Unfortunately, for the time being, you can only activate the brain on your character if your game instance is also the server!
Have fun and don't starve!

How do you get the AI to speak? I tried speaking to them before. They don't seem to say at hing.

Can you make it so we could use character reskins?

As explained in the mod description, you need to run the companion server console application for it to execute properly.

This is a proof of concept on using FAtiMA Toolkit on developing autonomous characters for video games.
I'm sorry if you expected more than that.

In the next days I'll remove the companions part of the mod (which seems to have issues) and keep only the part that allows you to click in the brain to enable the behavior in the current character.
The problems with this mod have nothing to do with the new Walter character.

It doesn't work since there's now already a Walter in the game.

How is this even a workshop mod if it doesn't work if you only download the mod through steam
