[Mod Request] War Dogs?

[nhylandl]

Hey all,

 

So it's pretty self-explanatory. However, digging through the game's files, I found that there is some amount of code for dogs already. it's in:

 

 

...\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord\Modules\Native\ModuleData\animations_animals.xml

 

 

So I've been looking around to see if there's any way I can jerry-rig them into working as troops but quickly found myself in over my head. I also can't tell if they even have models in the game yet. It would be pretty sweet to effectively zerg-rush, but with dogs.

 

LMK if any of you make any progress, I'll keep seeing what I'm capable of.

 

Also, I'll paste the dog-relevant animations here:
