New Mod?? (Automatic Follower Loot System)

[rhyls]

Automatic Follower Loot System. It seems new to me on the file page it's dated today. I've installed it to see what happens. Worth a read if it's new!

DOVA: I have edited the title of this thread to make it a bit clearer what's this thread is about.

We are in the process of testing it. I wouldn't run it with her yet, no matter what they say about it being compatible. Since Vilja already loots, we need to be sure it doesn't interfere with her scripts.

[rhyls]

ok, I shall note that and await your stamp of approval. Or not!!

Tests by some team members show it doesn't exactly play well with Vilja, but as Collin said testing is ongoing.

[Seyheb]

Further testing of the latest version 1.1 suggests that in its present form it can cause some problems that affect Vilja.

P.S. Don't forget you can ask Vilja to look around for arrows, weapons and ingredients via her "Will you please do me a favour..." dialogue.

[CollinMacleod]

I suggest you don't use it on Vilja. The issues we found can be worked around, but I don't want to suggest a mod you need to babysit.
Edit: Lol, Seyheb the Ninja.

Interesting that they use Vilja for the pictures on the mod page.

[CollinMacleod]

It gets a mod noticed, that's for sure.

[Seyheb]

It was how it got noticed by us and why we decided to look at it.

[Seyheb]

[edit] ack, the board being silly ("bad gateway")

[edit 2 - P.S. I should point out that not every issue we found may have a work around. There was one that made a permanent change to Vilja that could only be recovered from by reloading an earlier saved game. However no-one on the mod's site has reported this particular issue to date, so it is just possible that it was due to a mod conflict.]

[edit] And again!

Thanks Dova. I've now moved this post, i.e. my reply, to below the post it was replying to so it now follows on.

So far I can't say I have any problems with this mod 'Automated Looting for Followers' or at least any I can lay at it's door.

I'm finding it quite funny actually, Yesterday Vilja was wearing BoneMould Boots and the clothing I gave her Crimson archer outfit complete.
Eryniel was in some Leather skimpy armour she had looted from a body, I know it's from there because I saw the naked body later after the fight.
Later we bumped into some Thalmors who very suddenly died. Vilja then wore a elven helmet still with the bone boots. She also had a large Nord Warhammer for two days until I took it off her.
Today we are trotting along the highway nice and quietly. All dressed as before.
She thought it would be nice to talk so I turned round and Lo! she's in full elven armor.
Later Eryniel changed into a similar outfit.Where from I have no idea she must have found a thalmor dead .

I like the changes! doesn't get boring with these two ever, they seem to co operate in combat well together.

I watched Vilja fighting with Eryniel stood way off, as soon as Vilja move aside....Wham a fireball from Eryniel. He's fried!
So they are definately looting properly.

I'm glad to hear it is working for you so far. Just remember that using it is entirely at your own risk! It's not a question of whether or not she loots properly, but how it might affect things like her AI.

Talking of funny things; while I was testing this mod, Vilja put on a horned helmet she had looted, then she turned to me and said something like "I told you I didn't like horned helmets, they make me look like a mad cow. Here, you have it!" then she took it off and gave it to me!

Vilja is already able to pick up armour and weapons while exploring dungeons and equip them. On one occasion when we were attacked by a dragon she suddenly equipped forsworn armour, headdress and a forsworn sword and for a second I thought a forsworn had come to help!

Your quote....Talking of funny things; while I was testing this mod, Vilja put on a horned helmet she had looted, then she turned to me and said something like "I told you I didn't like horned helmets, they make me look like a mad cow. Here, you have it!" then she took it off and gave it to me!


Vilja just did the same thing to me re the helmet.Since the auto lootin both she and Eryniel are wearing different clothing.armours. Vilja to date has used a Nord warhammer,a Crossbow, a Two handed sword and currently she's using a Ashblade thing?. It's all jagged up the blade and seems to set people on fire. Where that came from I have no idea,unless picked up in Solstheim somewhere.
