Replace Ranger Pet/Summon ...how?

[RakZak]

Hello,

 

im so annoyed about beeing a grey warden that has to run around with a blight wolf....a sodding BLIGHT wolf!?

Lorewise im supposed to kill this thing.

 

Now i've looked everywhere for a mod or a away to replace this model with another, like the normal wolf or witherfang.

But there is simply no mod for this, neither do i have the modding skills to do this by myselfe (i tried trust me! D:)

 

So maybe someone here can help me and maybe give me a link, mod this for me or even writ me a little walkthrough how to mod this myselfe.

 

I mean, comon! , cant be that hard to change the Model/Texture from one wolf to another wolf :sad:

 

Thanks for reading!

IIRC, there is/was a mod that edited the Wolf summon model, but I can't seem to track it down. :confused:

 

If you want to play guinea pig (since I can't test it in-game myself... every time I update my graphics drivers DAO stops working), I've uploaded a model swap here, with the Master Ranger progression using the Alpha Wolf model.

Oh good lord you were send by the maker himself! This works! :D

 

Beside your mod im using "Ranger Summon Pet Sustained" and so far there seems to be no conflicts.

The pet is still around after traveling :smile:

 

Edit: Found something :P The skills of the blight wolf are now removed and changed with them from alpha wolf,

now missing "growl" and "charge" ability. They were anyway only accessible per tactic commands (normally only "shred" and "howl" for pet wolf per quickbar)

and are debatable as exploits. If its possible to retain the skillset of the blight wolf that would be a bonus, but im perfectly fine anyway as how it is now :)

 

Maybe this would be a nice addition to a major Fixpack out there?

As i said before, a blight wolf really isnt lore friendly by any means:

"Blight wolf is a wolf that is inflicted with the darkspawn taint and has turned into a ghoul....

The darkspawn use them for hunting, a task at which they excel.

A lone blight wolf is a slavering horror that will attack anything of living flesh that it can smell and their senses are keen."

 

Anyway, thanks for your help with this! :smile:

 

I dont wanna be greedy but maybe you have an idea for a solution for another problem with the ranger pets or know a mod for exactly this.

If the pet is summoned, the player can add tactics by clicking the popup in the left bottom corner. After this its not possible to acess the tactics by the standard menu.

And all tactics are lost if the pet is removed.

so basicly:

a) make pet's tactic menu acessible

b) make tactics auto-safeable

I knew it wouldn't work as intended. None of my 'mods' ever do. :sad:

 

Anywho. I have an idea how the Alpha-Wolf-with-Blight-Wolf-abilities might be possible, but it would be more involved than editing a single file, I'd need the toolset, and it's something I'd want to test myself.

 

Meanwhile, I'm going to pull the file, since it doesn't meet your needs. My apologies, and thank you for testing it out. (And hopefully someone more competent will see your request!)

Nonono! It's fine :D

Im using it right now and am totally happy :)

 

Everything is better then seeing this blight wolf again xD

You did well, thanks again! :)
