The name was a bit confusing 'cause I thought it was a Plushie but
when can we get an exclusive Plushie from our beloved developer Braven? :steamhappy: :steamhappy:
that has an effect like this mod,

this isn't a suggestion to this mod but just a suggestion for a mod, since i notice that you're capable of adding functioning npcs to the game maybe just maybe you could add an actual NPC mod with like survivors and hostiles etc, kinda like superb survivors except.. it actually works lmao, i dont mean anything too complicated with packed features just a simple and working NPC survivor mod also you're a great mod maker they just keep getting better and better!

"Braven" next to us must die. He was just surrounded by 30 zombies, and while I was watching from the sidelines, he killed them all without taking a single damage. Instead, I think there should be a character who cannot come back when he dies. :HIVEskull:

Hi Braven - may I make a few suggestions?
- instead of transferring items one at a time, it would be good to either have a trading room/window between Braven and your character (like in MP) so that you could drag and drop multiple items between the two characters, or have a command to turn Braven into a container so you could drag and drop stuff into / out of her inventory.
- it would be good if you can make Braven equip multiple clothing items in one command instead of one garment at a time.
- please make a command for Braven to wash herself and her clothes when she's near a water source. She gets very dirty/bloody after a few fights and I can't wash her at all. (washing her clothes is an even messier chore - for 5 garments, that would be 10 commands to take the clothes off her and to transfer them to you, and then another 10 commands to transfer the washed clothes to her and have her wear them again. Very time-consuming and inefficient.)
- can Braven NOT push me away from the spot where I'm standing? She could potentially push me off the roof if she's so headstrong at getting to her destination while I'm standing in her way!
- I wonder if letting Braven equip a backpack and put things into it could help her lessen her encumbrance and potentially carry more stuff? Not that it would really matter as she's basically a walking container, but it would be nice to see her wear a military backpack or big hiking bag or something like that, just like most other survivors out there.
- allow Braven to climb sheet ropes with the character. Many people like to knock out the stairs and live above ground, so unless Braven teleports to the upper floor after a while, it would be difficult to have Braven travel with you together without her potentially running into the very hordes you're trying to outmaneuver/outsmart.

Please allow the amount of damage from the weapon to be reflected in Braven's attack.
Currently, no matter what weapon is equipped, the damage is a flat 30.
Sonov Belial Nov 11, 2023 @ 10:59am 
You should make this mod but with one or two chained NPC zeds that follows the player ( Like Michone in TWD ) and that act as portable containers/Zed's deceivers.

Idk a good user Nov 11, 2023 @ 11:18am 
please let us tell braven to sit down when we tell them to wait if its possible they deserve a rest
Adrian Shephard Nov 11, 2023 @ 8:50pm 
would be nice for some dialogue so she doesnt seem like a dull gun for hire
-Crack_Head2k Nov 13, 2023 @ 5:29am 
some idle speech would be a great addition! Also for the people who want a not so powerful undying mechanic how about if braven takes too much dmg she vanishes for 24 in game hours or w.e but respawns after like she licked her wounds and caught back up with you?

A few suggestions:
-An option like "Go get some wood logs and drop here".
-Compatibility with the mod "Fashionoid 2" (When you give her any transmog item, the original appearance shows up not the transmog one.)
-Make her clothes not tear and the blood on the body and clothes disappear over time.
-A way to trade faster with her.
-Damage scale with weapon or so.

*** Here some of my detail/minor suggestion for Braven:

1) Make Braven invisible
- Zombie will ignore Braven so she wont get pin down by thousand of zombie in Louisville and have to teleport out to follow you, which may product some bug (Braven can still bum into zombie and stagger, not just phase through the horde like some ghost so some immersive)
- Not to mention even Braven is immortal, the clothes still get damage, it take lot of time to fix and equip all of that again if she got full slot clothes/armor, so not get hit by zombie help solve this problem (or you can just make these clothes also unbreakable)

2) Make Braven run to you (buff speed so she can catch up to you more ez), follow your path and no tele, when you enter building though window braven follow the same path and not go for the lock door, which block her most of the time and that lead to my next suggestion if this one fail

3) Make Braven can unlock any door/ window, many time i see her struggle to get in the building cause she not follow right next to me

4) Add Braven distant option, or just make her distant 2-3 block away for ez code/bug fix, reason is i just want her close to me so we can watch each other back and more to trade stuff faster

5) Add call Braven with Radio function, incase you tell her to stop then go looting too long and forgot where she is (this or suggestion below for the sake of "simple")

6) Add Braven mark on map, so you know where she is and can come to get her if you dont have radio yet (or the radio suggestion fail)

7) Add more Braven , i know NPC follow you can bum into each other and get stagger (happen inf superb before), but if you some how can fix that issue, it would be great to have "all my fellas" on a road trip together, and not "just the two of us"

8) ** Give Braven hair change option, this must have as one of core feature like clothes changing, this because she spawn with random hair every time, sometime with a very ugly hair and I just want her to look good with the outfit i give her. Also i run some mod that remove hidden hair when equip helmet or hood, so it clip through them if it not some short or neatly hair





*** And here some bigger suggestion in general for the mod, like how it should be evolve/update in future:

1) Keep the mod as simple as possible (to reduce minimal error)

- Just need the NPC do 5 thing: Attack, Follow, Carry, Customize, Talk. Some what like an Skyrim NPC tbh, that would be the perfect form. Simple as it is, but is so far none can do it perfectly without bug or break stuff, all 5 task i said already in game, but it still some what need to tweak and refine in detail like what i said in the minor suggestion
- Keep less sub command so we dont have like 10 task, each task with 10 option, and each option have 10 more sub-option to pick, that just too detail

So far i think you doing great in keeping it this simple, but as more update coming, this may become more important with all the new feature

2) Make this mod into main core mod, make a second one as sub-mod to subscribe to if you need more feature

-In future when ppl want more feature but some like me want to keep it simple for "bug free" and "smooth run", then you should do this. If you want your Braven do farming/crafting/building, then go sub to the second mod
-If new feature add in get bug or something, the core wont be affected and ppl can just turn sub mod off and still able to use Braven, no need to stop the game whole game waiting for new update to fix it

3) Tell us your future plan, a road map would be great too

- If you tell us what you planing to add, we could provide you some detail suggestion from start so you can have a clear idea what to make and wont have to tweak it too much later when fixing/updating later
- It also great for us to know what is coming and more easy to help suggest/improve stuff that more likely to be add into the game. Some suggestion we make can be too hard to make or just strait up impossible/insane, so stick to the plan and improving it would be the best option



This is the biggest NPC mod came out since superb by a renown modder, so im really hope it can meet my/our expectation of what an NPC would be like, so we will do anything we can to help and provide good constructive idea for the mod

I love this one! Here are A few suggestions:
1. Give her ability to climb the window.
2. Compability with true action, so she can randomly use the item around, which would make her a lot more interesting to company with.
3. Teleport with player when entering an RV.
4. An option to reset/respawn her since sometimes she become buggy (especially when I gave her an ugly cloth and can't take it back later)

After the update, Braven clothes no longer break is a huge POG, but now new problem ... lot of blood on Braven, need to give Braven auto clean function

Also pls add a turn on/off auto close door or just turn it off completely, it kinna anoying when you doing quick loot but Braven shut the door on you, not to mention most ppl let door open to indicate looted building
Kenpa Nov 18, 2023 @ 7:35am 
All I would like to see is some idle animations or interactions to bring a little life into the NPC outside of combat. Anything that would add immersion when hanging out or even left at the safehouse. Either way, you do great work and it's appreciated.
