Update: Apr 19, 2024 @ 8:02pm

Version 1.6.0

Sharpshooter
Little Braven now fires much faster with firearms, making them more reliable at using them.

Sandbox Options
Added a sandbox option that allows Players to toggle whether Little Braven is able to close doors or not.

Framework 1.8.0 Update
With the latest release of my NPC Framework, Little Braven is empowered with the following changes:
  • Fixed Little Braven being outside KI5 Vehicles when entering them.
  • Fixed Little Braven's inventory being reset when the Player sleeps.

Essential NPC Tweak and Explanation
If Braven dies in any regular way, such as bleeding out, they will be knocked out for about 30 seconds, and then return.
However, in previous versions, if they were brought down by a group of zombies, they would die and only respawn if you reloaded the game.
This has been improved! Now, if Little Braven is brought down, they will respawn without any items in about 30 seconds.

Version 1.5.0

Essentials
Little Braven is now an Essential NPC, meaning they won't die, ever! Instead, when at very low HP, little Braven will downed for some time, and then gradually recover, instead of outright dying.

Additionally, little Braven no longer suffers from fatigue, thirst, hunger, etc.
This should make it much better to play with them, as they are too silly to perform those tasks alone at the moment.

Changes
  • Little Braven now fires ranged weapons significantly faster.

Bug Fixes
  • Fixed errors when little Braven tried to sit down with the Player.

Version 1.4.0

Framework!
Little Braven is now entirely integrated, and requires, my NPC framework mod. This means it'll share it's behavior!
Good riddance bugs and issues. What isn't already fixed will be ironed out very soon.

Changes
  • Braven is no longer immortal, so watch out! If they die, simply reload the save and they'll respawn.

Bug Fixes
Fixed all known bugs and issues.

Version 1.3.0

Greatly Improved Combat!
The combat has been greatly enhanced! Braven's attack speed and damage are now based on the weapon they have equipped.
I have also (Mostly) fixed the awkward combat animations and sounds (Game limitationssss)
Additionally, there is now proper ranged combat! Remember to give Braven enough ammo though.
When out of ammo, Braven will indicate as much and proceed to reload (Or switch to melee).

Teleportation!
Braven will now automatically detect whenever the Player is teleported, either using Vanilla commands, or through mods.
If the Player is done teleporting, Braven will appear with them, meaning RVs, Basements, etc. all work now!

Improvements
  • Braven will attempt to catch up with you even while in combat.
  • You may now take and give all items instead of having to select each item.
  • There is also the option to take or give all of a specific item.

Changes
  • Moved the "All" options in the context menu to the top.

Bug Fixes
  • Fixed Braven sometimes teleporting inside buildings.

  • Fixed Braven detecting zombies through walls.
  • Fixed the Player bugging a bit when bulk trading due to repeated timed action calls.
  • Fixed Braven not reacting to hostiles sometimes.

Version 1.1.0

Custom Clothing
You can now tell Braven to wear something other than their default outfit. (Why? 😭)
For existing Players, I'm afraid your Braven might become naked... Sorry about that.
I did tell you this mod was in development though! New games won't have this issue.

Status Menu
When opening the context menu on Braven, you will now have the option to check their Status.
For now, the only option is to check their Inventory. More information below!

New Weight Mechanic
You can no longer give Braven items that would make them overburdened.
Attempting to take an item that would make you overburdened is also no longer possible.
You can check how much weight Braven is carrying by hovering over the "Inventory" option in the Status Menu.

Changes
  • The order of the context menu options are now: Status > Order > Trade.
  • You can no longer accidentally give equipped items to Braven. Unequip first.
  • Braven will now make a thumbs up when ordered through the context menu.
  • You can now tell Braven to unequip their weapon and clothing.

Bug Fixes
Fixed Braven teleporting towards you if you just climbed stairs (Detected distance as unreachable).

New Mod Cover!

Update: Nov 7, 2023 @ 11:39pm

Version 1.0.2

New "Combat Stance" Order
You can now order Braven to change their combat stance!
By default, the stance is "Defensive". This means Braven will only react to zombies attacking them, or you.
You can change the stance to "Offensive", where Braven will actively look for and attack any nearby zombies.
Additionally, Braven's spatial awareness has been significantly improved.

Improved Vehicle Mechanics
Greatly enhanced Braven's vehicle entry and exit mechanics.
Braven will now actually enter / exit the vehicle with the Player, and the appropriate door sounds will play when Braven interacts with one.

Changes to Emotes Wheel
Braven will no longer answer to emote orders if they are too far away from you.

Bug Fixes
Braven will no longer allow a zombie to hit them before reacting. At least not purposefully.

Update: Nov 7, 2023 @ 7:47pm

Version 1.0.1

Changes
  • Braven will now enter vehicles with the Player.
  • Changed the default sound type when Braven hits a zombie.
