  93. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  94. I. > > > > Feature List:
  95. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  96.  
  97. - Increased max followers to 5
  98.  
  99. I could have made it more, but there are too many small interiors and
  100. doorways that start to feel really cramped if you play with too many
  101. followers. I personally prefer no more than 3, but I bumped it up to 5
  102. due to popular demand.
  103.  
  104. - AI Improvements:
  105.  
  106. Followers avoid/ignore traps, interact with environments, auto-toggle
  107. helmets, recharge their weapons, forgive friendly fire. And all of this
  108. is optional of coarse.
  109.  
  110. - Control Follower Outfits
  111.  
  112. Create and assign up to three outfits. One for standard use and one for
  113. in-city use and one for the player home. Feel free to create your outfit
  114. out of your favorite custom mod items.
  115.  
  116. - Teach Followers new spells:
  117.  
  118. Aft supports two spell types: Regular Spells and Tweak Spells. You can
  119. teach a follower either type by equipping known spells and selecting the
  120. appropriate option from the magic menu.
  121.  
  122. Regular spells are handled by the games standard combat AI. However you
  123. may also create up to 4 "Tweak" Spells that can be customized to cast
  124. under certain conditions on certain players. This is especially handy
  125. for creating cleric type characters.
  126.  
  127. - Dismiss Followers, but tell them to hang out where you are
  128.  
  129. Handy for keeping all your followers in one location (like your house).
  130.  
  131. - Turn followers into werewolves!
  132.  
  133. If you are a werewolf, just tell them to drink your blood. You can then
  134. configure the conditions in which they will change from their combat
  135. style menu
  136.  
  137. - Turn followers into vampires
  138.  
  139. If you are a vampire, feel free to "embrace" your follower. They will
  140. become a vampire and gain the expected resistances and spells.
  141.  
  142. - Turn followers into vampire lords
  143.  
  144. If you happen to have Dawnguard, you will be able to upgrade your
  145. followers to pure-blood vampire lords. This means they aren't disfigured
  146. in the face and can transform into Vampire Lord form.
  147.  
  148. - Control Follower Combat Style
  149.  
  150. Are you a fan of character concepts? Use AFT to strictly enforce
  151. follower combat style or simply use the General style if you prefer
  152. skyrims system.
  153.  
  154. Styles like "Spell Sword" and "Mage Staff" include micro-managed combat
  155. AI that ensures followers use a combination of their weapon and spells.
  156.  
  157. - Manage Level Up
  158.  
  159. AFT supports both Auto and Manual Level Up modes so you can do nothing
  160. or specify where every last stat and skill point goes. It is your call.
  161. When managed, your follower will continue to receive stat and skill bonuses
  162. even beyond their level cap.
  163.  
  164. - Remotely command followers in combat
  165.  
  166. The Tweak Command Power lets you direct followers during combat. Tell
  167. followers to attack or hold back, summon them to you or even tell
  168. followers to transform into their Beast forms.
  169.  
  170. - Pose Followers
  171.  
  172. Have followers strike a pose or dance and then have them stay that way.
  173. A fun way to add ambience to your camp or house.
  174.  
  175. - Possess the body of your followers (Vampires only)
  176.  
  177. Charge into combat possessing the body of a follower (who has maybe
  178. transformed into a werewolf?). When your follower falls, you will
  179. transfer back to the players body, safely stashed away around the corner.
  180.  
  181. - Stealth Mode
  182.  
  183. A power that makes all followers invisible and muffled until YOU get
  184. caught or attack someone. Great for assassination missions.
  185.  
  186. - Tell Followers to Make camp
  187.  
  188. Very basic tent, sleeping bags, and fire. Enable the enhanced AI and tell
  189. followers to Relax at camp if you wish to see them make use of the camp
  190. elements.
  191.  
  192. - Option: Followers cant die
  193.  
  194. For people that don't like reloading.
  195.  
  196. - Option: Followers Catch up on weapon draw
  197.  
  198. Following the player across skyrim's treacherous terrain can be difficult.
  199. Luckily, followers will catch up to you anytime you draw your weapon. Handy
  200. when you find yourself surrounded by enemies.
  201.  
  202. - Option: Skill Synergy
  203.  
  204. You get credit for a percentage of your followers prowess in combat.
  205.  
  206. - Option: Ask Followers to sleep anywhere
  207.  
  208. A boon for vampires who can use followers as a travelling happy meal.
  209.  
  210. - Option: Beast form followers ignored just like summoned creatures.
  211.  
  212. You can walk around with 2 Daedric Lords, so why do people care if you
  213. have a werewolf or two? This option prevents people from attacking you
  214. on sight if you have werewolf or Vampire Lord followers.
  215.  
  216. - Option: Followers Ride Horses
  217.  
  218. It is amazing how much immersion it adds to see your followers mount up.
  219. See readme for restrictions.
  220.  
  221. - Option : 1000 carrying capacity for Followers
  222.  
  223. Get through 2 whole quests before needing to visit a merchant.
  224.  
  225. - Item De-duplication
  226.  
  227. Followers can automatically remove duplicate items from your inventory.
  228. (some items like arrows, soul gems, nirnroots and lock picks are ignored)
  229.  
  230. - Followers can auto Fence items
  231.  
  232. Save time when you have 5 followers sporting 5000 lbs of inventory. Nice
  233. when combined with Item de-duplication.
  234.  
  235. - Option : Control Follower Aggression
  236.  
  237. Prevent them from attacking people when you are trying to sneak around.
  238.  
  239. - Option : Control Follower Courage
  240.  
  241. Prevent them from running from combat.
  242.  
  243. - Option : Control Follower Morality
  244.  
  245. Ever get tired of a follower refusing to do something you tell them to?
  246. Well, this mod makes sure that doesn't happen.
  247.  
  248. - Additional Marriage Options
  249.  
  250. Illia, Aranea, Eola, Ugor, and Lydia by popular request. Also Erik the
  251. Slayer, Golldir, Ahtar.
  252.  
  253. - Ability to remove Follower Bows
  254.  
  255. What can I say. The bow on the back is irritating.
  256.  
  257. - Bonus Outfit Support** (See readme for details)
  258.  
  259. A custom outfit you can have any follower put on. Outfit packs coming soon.
  260.  
  261. - Minor bug fixes:
  262.  
  263. Lydia no longer sits in your Breeze home room all day like a stalker.
  264.  
  265.  
  266. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  267. II. > > > > Installation
  268. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  269.  
  270. A. Requirements
  271.  
  272. This mod requires Skyrim patch 1.9.29.08 or newer. To find out what
  273. version you have, hit ESC within the game and look in the bottom left
  274. corner of the System:Save/Load screen.
  275.  
  276. This Mod does NOT require Dawnguard. However it is Dawnguard
  277. compatible and new features will appear if you have Dawnguard installed.
  278.  
  279. This Mod does NOT require DragonBorn. However it is DragonBorn
  280. compatible and new features will appear if you have DragonBorn installed.
  281.  
  282.  
  283. B. Steam Workshop Installation
  284.  
  285. Installation from Steam workshop is relatively easy. You search for the
  286. mod in workshop "Amazing" in the [Follower] category normally finds it.
  287. Then hit "Subscribe" to install it and begin receiving updates.
  288.  
  289. The main thing is that you keep AFT at or towards the bottom of your
  290. load order. Many users install other mods at the same time they install
  291. AFT. If AFT is not at the bottom of the load order when all is said and
  292. done, there is a decent probability of a mod conflict.
  293.  
  294. I also recommend that users UNSUBSCRIBE to Amazing Follower Tweaks
  295. following the initial download. This will prevent future updates from
  296. potentially breaking your save games.
  297.  
  298. C. Manual Installation (Downloaded from SkyrimNexus)
  299.  
  300. This is probably the safest method as it ensures full control over when
  301. you upgrade (or don't upgrade) to the latest version of the mod.
  302.  
  303. 1) If you do not already have it, get 7-zip : www.7-zip.org
  304.  
  305. ** Do not use WinRar to open/extract .7z files. It will corrupt them.
  306.  
  307. 2) Once 7-zip is installed, open the .7z file downloaded from SkyrimNexus
  308. with it. Typically you need only double click the file:
  309.  
  310. AmazingFollowerTweaks_v1_66.7z
  311.  
  312. 3) Within the 7-zip window, select the menu options:
  313.  
  314. "Help" -> "About 7-zip"
  315.  
  316. Ensure you have version 9.20 or greater/newer. If you do not, return
  317. to step 1 and get the latest version.
  318.  
  319. 4) The 7-zip window will show 2 files:
  320.  
  321. /Data
  322. readme_aft.txt
  323.  
  324. A common mistake made by people reading this readme is that they
  325. double click the readme_aft.txt file and then hit extract. However,
  326. if you are reading this readme from the .7z file, chances are the
  327. readme_aft.txt file is the only thing hi-lighted. You will want to
  328. ensure both the Data directory and the readme_aft.txt are hi-lighted
  329. before hitting the extract button.
  330.  
  331. To hi-light both entries quickly, hit CTRL + A
  332.  
  333. 5) Hit Extract and then [...] to browse to the location of your skyrim
  334. installation.
  335.  
  336. Most people will find it in one of these two locations:
  337.  
  338. Computer -> C:\Program Files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\skyrim
  339.  
  340. or
  341.  
  342. Computer -> C:\Program Files\steam\steamapps\common\skyrim
  343.  
  344. After you click on and hi-light skyrim, click [OK] and then [OK]
  345. once more
  346.  
  347. 6) If this is your first time installing AFT, go to step 7.
  348. If you previously had AFT installed, you will be prompted to
  349. confirm file overwrite for the three files:
  350.  
  351. AmazingFollowerTweaks.bsa
  352. AmazingFollowerTweaks.bsl
  353. AmazingFollowerTweaks.esp
  354.  
  355. Click [Yes] to each file as it comes up
  356.  
  357. 7) When you start up Skyrim, go to Data Files and make sure the
  358. AmazingFollowerTweaks.esp mod is checked. I also recommend
  359. boosting its priority. This is done in the Default mod
  360. manager by moving the mod to the BOTTOM of the load order.
  361.  
  362.  
  363. D. Upgrading
  364.  
  365. If you have version 1.5x or newer, the best way to upgrade is to
  366. simply clobber your old AFT files with the new AFT files. This
  367. means following the same installation instructions that you
  368. followed the first time you installed AFT. For most users, this
  369. is all you will need to do.
  370.  
  371. NOTE:
  372.  
  373. Starting with version 1.6, if you enable inventory management, any
  374. unworn inventory items are stored in a backpack. Inventory management
  375. is enabled by default for any previous followers you were managing with
  376. AFT.
  377.  
  378. After an upgrade, you should walk around and talk to all of your
  379. active followers. This helps eliminate AI state issues that can
  380. happen during upgrade. While you are at it, you should probably
  381. add and remove their weapon to make sure the weapon AI is properly
  382. synched as well.
  383.  
  384. E. Notes
  385.  
  386. 1) Be aware should you ever disable AFT and start skyrim (say to try out a different
  387. follower mod), any old save games made with AFT may become dirty. Before doing
  388. this, you should load any AFT save games you wish to salvage and save cleaned
  389. versions of them. To clean the save game, us the Reset AFT function that comes
  390. with the mod. (Search for "Reset AFT")
  391.  
  392. 2) If you have other mods installed the mess with the timescale, this can lead to
  393. crashing. However this is generally only an issue if the timescale value is
  394. increased (default is 20).
  395.  
  396. 3) If your follower uses bows or two handed weapons, you may have to
  397. remove their weapon and give it back to them for their AI to register
  398. the proper weapon animation. From time to time this issue may appear
  399. again, but generally it should not unless you use stealth mode or
  400. transform into beast mode a lot.
  401.  
  402. 4) During an upgrade, some follower items may get transfered to the backpack.
  403. Make sure to check the backpack if you think items are disappearing.
  404.  
  405. 5) When inventory management is enabled on a follower, and you use the root
  406. level dialogue option "Let me take a look at your items", you are actually
  407. viewing the followers current outfit. The outfits have lots of scripts
  408. monitoring them and if they grow too large, may lead to game instability.
  409. So make sure to use the "Open your backpack" dialogue option if you are
  410. simply storing items on the follower.
  411.  
  412. F. Known Issues
  413.  
  414. - Dont assign rings or necklaces with the Default Female Bonus Outfit or
  415. the arms get cut off.
  416.  
  417. - If you use Vampiric Possession, use it at least twice. Using it only once
  418. causes a funky game state where the game may CTD on fast travel.
  419.  
  420. - City and Home Outfits:
  421.  
  422. - Use of home and city outfits can cause followers who are using two handed
  423. weapons and bows to use the wrong fighting stance which can actually prevent
  424. them from attacking. To fix, open the followers standard inventory and
  425. remove/add the weapon. If they still refuse to use the weapon, make
  426. sure you can use it yourself. If you can't, then drop the weapon
  427. on the ground again and pick it back up. That normally fixes the
  428. problem.
  429.  
  430. - Use of home and city outfits can cause enchanted weapons to lose
  431. their charge when transitioning between area types. This mostly
  432. happens with followers such as rangers who have 2 different weapon
  433. types in their inventory such as a bow and a sword.
  434.  
  435. To avoid the bug, dont enable City/Home outfits or dont give rangers
  436. enchanted weapons that require charges. IE: You can still safely enable
  437. the standard outfit on a ranger with enchanted weapons.
  438.  
  439. - DragonBorn includes Nordic Arrows which appear to cause game freezing
  440. when placed in the inventory of followers. Avoid using these arrows with
  441. AFT.
  442.  
  443. - If you convince Serana to cure her disease, she should re-appear in
  444. either Fort Dawnguard or Castle Volkair after 3 to 5 days. Sometimes
  445. she doesnt. It is not clear if this is actually an AFT bug or not, however
  446. If she does not reappear within 4 days, you can use:
  447.  
  448. Tweak COmmand Power => Tools => Summon Everyone
  449.  
  450. to find her.
  451.  
  452. - When using AFT with custom NPCs: Sometimes you need to use:
  453.  
  454. Tweak Options -> Actions -> Dismiss [normal]
  455.  
  456. To dismiss them. If that doesn't work, then try to use their normal
  457. dismissal dialogue in addition to AFTs dismiss. If that still doesn't
  458. work, use Tweak Options -> Actions -> Dismiss but hang out here
  459.  
  460. The final solution should almost always work
  461.  
  462. - Finally, AFT can only detect when weapons are LOW on charges. It can not
  463. detect enchanted weapons once they are fully depleted. THerefore,
  464. if you see a fully depleted weapon in your followers inventory, you will
  465. need to charge it yourself.
  466.  
  467.  
  468. G. Trouble Shooting:
  469.  
  470. These are questions I tend to ask all users when problems are reported:
  471.  
  472. 1) Does your version of AFT match the version of Skyrim?:
  473.  
  474. You can get the the version of skyrim from the bottom left corner
  475. of the Save/Load screen (You have to load a save game first)
  476.  
  477. AFT Version 1.63 - 1.66 : Patch 1.9.29 (minimum) required
  478. AFT Version 1.54 - 1.62 : Patch 1.8 (minimum) required
  479. AFT Version 1.34 - 1.42 : Patch 1.7 (minimum) required
  480. AFT Version 1.00 - 1.21 : Patch 1.5 (minimum) required
  481.  
  482. 2) Is AFT at the bottom of your load order?
  483.  
  484. Some users use Boss and boss sometimes decides to put AFT somewhere
  485. other than the bottom of the load order. Unless I tell you otherwise,
  486. always place aft at the bottom of your load order. Or at least
  487. try playing the game with AFT at the bottom of the load order before
  488. reporting any issues to me.
  489.  
  490. This may require that you set up a custom rule in Boss.
  491.  
  492. 3) Were you using another multi-follower mod before AFT?
  493.  
  494. If you had a multi-follower mod such as EFF or UFO before
  495. you installed AFT, you should either start a new game or
  496. you should make sure your old save game is properly cleaned.
  497.  
  498. Mods are baked into your save games when you save. Disabling and
  499. removing mods from your machine does not "clean" your old save
  500. games. You must follow the other mods uninstall directions while
  501. it is installed on your computer or it will continue to consume
  502. resources within the old saves, preventing AFT from working properly.
  503.  
  504. 4) Did you clean your Cache?
  505.  
  506. Steam -> Library -> (All Games) Elder Scrolls V-> Properties
  507. -> Local Files -> Verify Integrity of Game Cache
  508.  
  509. ** This is more important for users who are upgrading from
  510. an older version of AFT.
  511.  
  512. 5) Tweak Options not appearing
  513.  
  514. If you are started a new game and you did not see the Tweak
  515. Options menu when you gained your first (vanilla) follower, then
  516. you should consider a Clean Reset. This is a last resort, but
  517. appears to be the only way to get Skyrim to clear cached information
  518. about AFT.
  519.  
  520. 1) Re-install previous version of AFT (if you can)

  534. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  535.  
  536. After installing v1.6, you will find a book in your inventory called
  537. "AFT Readme". The item is an abbreviated version of this readme file
  538. which can be reviewed in game.
  539.  
  540. If you have any current followers when AFT is installed, you will need to
  541. dismiss them "I think it is time to part ways" and ask them to join you
  542. again before the Tweak Options menu will appear.
  543.  
  544. The Tweak Options Dialogue Menu contains many pre-battle AI configuration
  545. options so that when battle starts, you can focus on you and not worry
  546. about your followers.
  547.  
  548. For users who prefer more real-time control over followers, there is
  549. a Power Called "Tweak Command". This power activates a menu that can
  550. be used to remotely command your followers, during combat.
  551.  
  552. Finally, AFT adds a Tweak Make Follower Spell which can be used to
  553. import NPCs into the follower system. This is mainly for custom NPCs
  554. added by external mods, but can also be use on standard game NPCs at
  555. your own risk.

  581.  
  582. Possess Guardian only appears if you are or have been a vampire.

  584. melee attacks. Possession ends when you fall, get too far from the
  585. Player or sheathe your followers weapon/claws
  586.  
  587. ** This ability relies on unpatched Skyrim bugs. It is therefore one
  588. of the most unstable features of AFT. Use at your own risk.
  589.  
  590. - Make Camp
  591.  
  592. Creates a basic Camp. Only works outside. Camp automatically tears
  593. down after 24 hours if you forget to tear it down. If you make camp

  642.  
  643. ** NOTE: AFT checks if player is a VL when changing areas. So immediately
  644. after becoming a VL (or after Reseting AFT), this option will not appear
  645. until you walk through a door that causes a loading screen.

  650.  
  651. This Action can also be accessed from the Tweak Commands Power.
  652. It causes all followers to stop as though you asked each one

  656. - All: Stealth
  657.  
  658. This Action can also be accessed from the Tweak Commands Power.

  689. The Gear menu will change and you will see the following:
  690.  
  691. View Backpack
  692. View Standard Outfit
  693.  
  694. When outfits are enabled, you will also find two new options
  695. under the "More Options..." submenu:
  696.  
  697. [ ] Enable City Outfit
  698. [ ] Enable Home Outfit
  699.  
  700. If you enable both the City and Home outfits, you will see an
  701. additional "View City Outfit" and "View Home Outfit" under
  702. the View Standard Outfit when you return to the Gear menu.
  703.  
  704. An Outfit is simply a list of items that are transfered from the
  705. followers backpack into their actual inventory when you enter
  706. certain areas. This allows you to control their weapon. You can

  721. on when you transition areas or leave them and return.
  722.  
  723. - Fence all non-outfit gear
  724.  
  725. Follower will buy all of their inventory from you for 50% of what
  726. you could get from a vendor. The idea is that they bury it somewhere
  727. to come back and pick up later. Any worn items are not sold. If
  728. outfit management is enabled, any items in the outfit
  729. list will be ignored (worn or not).

  791. Notes: Duplicate item removal always excludes arrows, lock-picks,
  792. soul gems and nirnroots.
  793.  
  794. If you have set your followers combat style, Duplicate item
  795. removal will also ignore items that do not fit their style.
  796. For example, dualists will ignore shields and greatswords
  797. while pure mages will ignore any and all weapons.
  798.  
  799. 3. Combat

  807.  
  808. - [ ] General
  809.  
  810. Places no restrictions on what the follower can use or cast and

  813. games leveling cap.
  814.  
  815. - [ ] Magic Only
  816.  
  817. Follower can only cast spells. If they run out of magicka, they

  847. use any shield available.
  848.  
  849. Note that Melee damage is general and not specific to a weapon
  850. type. So you must make sure to keep two handed weapons outside

  941. meet them, those spells can not be removed.
  942.  
  943. - [ ] Enable Magic Use
  944.  
  945. When disabled, this option sets the Followers Magicka to 0, preventing
  946. them from casting spells no matter how many spells they know. Useful

  954.  
  955. Notes: AFT supports custom spells, but if you teach a custom spell and
  956. then uninstall or re-order the mod that provided the spell, it
  957. may corrupt the save game.
  958.  
  959. Followers typically require more magicka to cast spells than
  960. the Player because most NPCs lack perks. This is why the cost
  961. of Tweak spells may seem very high. AFT compensates by giving
  962. NPCs large magicka boosts at level 30 and 60.
  963.

  966.

  973. for people that don't want to deal with micromanaging the stats.
  974.  
  975. - [ ] Manual Level up
  976.  
  977. When this option is checked, the user is allowed to allocate all the stat
  978. and skill points for followers. This is true regardless of the combat style.
  979.  
  980. Some users use this to handicap thier followers because they intentionally
  981. want weaker followers. Other users simply like having fine grained control
  982. over the stats and skills.
  983.

  1000. requirements, the perk will not show as it would not be active. Keep this
  1001. in mind if you choose manual level up. Perks may appear to be lost, but in
  1002. fact, the new stats may not meet the previous perk requirements.
  1003.

  1015.  
  1016. Notes: When AFT is managing stats, it will give all followers a minor boost to
  1017. Health/Stamina/Magicka. This is to compensate for AFTs inability to
  1018. award/assign perks. These boosts can be disabled from the Settings
  1019. menu.
  1020.  
  1021. When boosts are enabled, followers start off with 200 additional points
  1022. distributed across their stats and gain 13 points per level up instead
  1023. of 10. If your follower is set to a mage combat style, their magicka will
  1024. get additional boosts to at levels 31, 51 and 61.

  1084. able to kill the follower.
  1085.  
  1086. - [X] NPC allow idle chatter
  1087.  
  1088. When enabled, the follower can randomly comment on the weather or past
  1089. experiences or make other non-interactive comments.
  1090.  
  1091. - [X] NPC recharges weapons
  1092.  
  1093. When enabled, the follower will attempt to recharge depleted weapons with
  1094. filled soul gems from their inventory when the weapon gets low on charges.
  1095. Default threshold is 125. You can change the threshold from console if you
  1096. desire:
  1097.  
  1098. "set TweakRechargeThreshold to 125"
  1099.  
  1100. Note that followers will NOT search the backpack for soul gems if their
  1101. inventory is managed. You must add the soul gems to the followers outfit.
  1102.  
  1103. - [X] NPC combat regen boost
  1104.  
  1105. When checked, NPC will regenerate an additional 2 Points a second
  1106. to magicka, health and stamina during combat. When unchecked, followers
  1107. may or may not regenerate during combat depending on the version
  1108. of skyrim you had when you started your current game. Recommended
  1109. if you allow followers to die.
  1110.  
  1111. - [X] NPC force post combat auto-heal
  1112.  
  1113. When checked, followers will auto-heal when combat ends, even if only briefly

  1115. depending on the version of skyrim you had when you started your current game.
  1116. Recommended if you allow followers to die.
  1117.  
  1118. - [ ] NPC Keeps Distance
  1119.  
  1120. When enabled, the follower will hang back. By enabling this on some followers
  1121. and disabling it on other followers, you can control who is generally farthest
  1122. away from you and who is closest to you as you travel skyrim. If you enable
  1123. this on all but 1 follower, you can guarantee that follower will be the closest
  1124. to you and easiest to talk to or hear commentary from.
  1125.  
  1126. - [ ] NPC doesn't auto-relax
  1127.  
  1128. You can check this on specific NPCs to prevent auto-relax for that specific
  1129. NPC even when AFT's global auto-relax setting is enabled and active. Thus if
  1130. you wish, you can make it so that only 1 person in your party auto-relaxes.
  1131.  
  1132.  
  1133. - Reset NPC
  1134.  
  1135. Resets the specific NPC you are talking to. Reset means they are removed from
  1136. AFTs control and their slot is freed. Reset NPCs will automatically be
  1137. dismissed and lose any of AFTs benefits such as controlled outfit or taught
  1138. spells or AI enhancements.
  1139.  
  1140. Reset NPC does NOT cure Lycanthropy or Sanguinare Vampiris. Only Reset AFT
  1141. will do this.

  1218. - Configure Auto Relax
  1219.  
  1220. This command brings up the Auto Relax Configuration menu where you can set

  1235.  
  1236. 5) [25|50|75|100]%% chance of a follower Relaxing.
  1237.  
  1238. - After the Minimum amount of time passes, this is the percent
  1239. chance that each follower rolls to determine if they start
  1240. relaxing. It re-rolls every 3 seconds. This prevents everyone
  1241. from relaxing at the exact same moment (unles you choose 100%).

  1251.  
  1252. When enabled, followers do 2X damage with weapons matching their combat
  1253. style. When disabled, followers do normal (1X) damage. If a combat
  1254. style is not set, this setting is ignored.
  1255.  
  1256. - [ ] Followers no combat recovery
  1257.  
  1258. An experimental option that prevents followers from recovering when
  1259. they fall in combat. They will revive when combat is over. If they
  1260. do not revive, you should be able to revive them by activating them
  1261. (like you are trying to talk to them).
  1262.  
  1263. - [ ] Followers never initiate combat
  1264.  
  1265. When this setting is checked, follower aggression is set to 0, which
  1266. can prevent them from attacking non-hostile enemies that are in sight.
  1267. Handy during stealth missions.
  1268.  
  1269. - [ ] Followers never run from combat
  1270.  
  1271. Makes all followers fight to the death. If you want followers to flee when
  1272. their health gets low, disable this. (More important when your followers
  1273. are mortal)
  1274.  
  1275. - Reset Hints
  1276.  
  1277. AFT forgets what hints it has shown you, causing all first time hints

  1281.  
  1282. Undoes all changes AFT has made to your game. Typically used before
  1283. uninstalling AFT or cleaning a save game.
  1284.

  1300.  
  1301. |---------------------------------------------------------------------|
  1302. | Available Tweak Actions |
  1303. |---------------------------------------------------------------------|
  1304. | [ Summon ] [ Stealth ] [ Stop ] [ Relax ] [Back] |
  1305. |---------------------------------------------------------------------|
  1306.  
  1307. - Summon : Summon All followers to you. This command also resets the
  1308. followers AI. If they are stopped, relaxing or fighting
  1309. each other, it will stop their current action and they
  1310. will return to following you again.
  1311.  
  1312. - Stealth : Activates Stealth Mode. In stealth mode, all followers
  1313. become invisible and muffled. I Highly recommend pairing
  1314. this mode with the Followers Never Initiate Combat Setting.
  1315.  
  1316. A few notes about stealth mode:
  1317.  
  1318. - If you draw your weapon while standing, stealth mode will
  1319. end. However if you draw your weapon while squating,
  1320. stealth mode will not end.
  1321.  
  1322. - While in stealth mode, followers will ignore combat
  1323. completely. However, they WILL join combat if the
  1324. PLAYER is HIT by an enemy. So you can use stealth
  1325. take down and they will not leave stealth mode or
  1326. attack nearby NPCs.
  1327.  
  1328. - You can not tell followers to Relax in stealth mode,
  1329. however Relax is replaced with the command
  1330. "Stealth Attack" which causes followers to attack
  1331. any visible non-allies (They will attack even if the
  1332. enemy has not spotted you and hasn't gone hostile yet).
  1333.  
  1334. - Stop : All followers stop. Stopped followers ignore combat. If
  1335. followers are in stealth mode, they will continue to ignore
  1336. combat even if the player is hit by an enemy.
  1337.  
  1338. After being activated, Stop will change to "Follow", which
  1339. ends the stop state and causes followers to follow you again.
  1340.  
  1341. - Relax : All Followers immediatly relax. Similar to wait, but
  1342. followers are less robotic and behave as you might
  1343. expect: Using nearby items and defending themselves and
  1344. the player if attacked.
  1345.  
  1346. When in Stealth Mode, Relax is replaced by Stealth Attack.
  1347.  
  1348.  
  1349. 2. Transform

  1362. have made.
  1363.  
  1364. - Vampire Lord : Any MANAGED Vampire Lords you have will immediatly
  1365. transform. If you do not manage Serana, she will
  1366. not transform. This will override any AI settings
  1367. you have made.
  1368.  
  1369. - Human : Any Beast followers will immediately transform
  1370. back to human. This will override any AI settings
  1371. you have made.
  1372.  
  1373.  
  1374.  
  1375. ** When transforming to a Beast Race, followers will transfer any
  1376. torches they have to the player to ensure their beast race
  1377. model does try to use the torch (and create game instability).

  1387. |---------------------------------------------------------------------|
  1388.  
  1389. - View Readme : Spawns a new Aft Readme if need be and causes the
  1390. player to immediately start reading it.
  1391.  
  1392. - [X] Tweak Options : Enables or disabled the Tweak Options dialogue
  1393. menu. Mostly used by users after they configure
  1394. their followers and no longer need access to the
  1395. menu.
  1396.  
  1397. - [X] Auto Relax : Allows followers to relax on their own. This
  1398. means they will sit down, use items and wander
  1399. about without you telling them to.
  1400.  
  1401. This option allows you to quickly toggle the
  1402. Auto Relax on and off without needing to
  1403. talk to a follower. When you toggle the setting,
  1404. it may take up to 15 seconds for the change to
  1405. take effect.
  1406.  
  1407. - [X] Tweak Diagnostics : Enables/Disables Tweak Diagnostic dialogue
  1408. menu as well as the diagnostics area under

  1414. This section is added for people looking to uninstall, or

  1416. followers.
  1417.  
  1418. |---------------------------------------------------------------------|
  1419. | Available Tool Options |
  1420. |---------------------------------------------------------------------|
  1421. | [ Summon Everyone ] [ Reset AFT ] [ Set Home ] [ Back ] |
  1422. |---------------------------------------------------------------------|
  1423.  
  1424. - Summon Everyone : Originally called Follower Nuke, it drops
  1425. every living follower you have ever had around the player. This
  1426. should help you locate missing followers and also helps to
  1427. centralize all of your followers if you are changing
  1428. homes or getting ready to use Reset AFT.
  1429.  
  1430. As your dismissed followers are still loyal to you, it could
  1431. also be used to summon a small army during epic battles. As
  1432. this was not the intent of the command, usage limits have
  1433. been put in place (3 times per week max).
  1434.  
  1435. - Reset AFT : Identical to the Dialogue Menu command, this option
  1436. resets the mod, removing any changes it has made to your NPCs.
  1437. If you wish to continue using AFT after a RESET, you will
  1438. have to save and reload your current game.
  1439.  
  1440. - Set Home : This button supports the Home Outfit by allowing you to
  1441. mark your current location as a player home. This convenience method
  1442. was added to help support custom player homes and has no effect on
  1443. where followers go when dismissed.
  1444.  
  1445. C. Tweak Make Follower Power
  1446.  
  1447.  
  1448. "With Great Power comes Great Responsibility"...
  1449.  
  1450. Starting with version 1.5, AFT includes an easy to use Spell that
  1451. you can cast on friendly npcs and creatures to import them into
  1452. the follower system.
  1453.  
  1454. AFT may warn you if the NPC is not safe for import. This generally
  1455. means the NPC is already a potential follower or they are part of
  1456. an important quest. However AFT will not prevent you from importing
  1457. them, it will only warn you.
  1458.  
  1459.  
  1460. D. How do outfits work?
  1461.  
  1462. For starters, you must enable outfit management. Talk to your follower, goto
  1463.  
  1464. Tweak Options -> Gear
  1465.  
  1466. and check:
  1467.  
  1468. [ ] Enable Outfit Management
  1469.  
  1470. This will create 2 inventories on the NPC. The NPCs will have their normal
  1471. inventory, but AFT will add a backpack.
  1472.  
  1473. The first time you enable outfit management on an NPC, AFT will have the
  1474. follower transfer everything they have to the backpack. AFT will attempt to
  1475. detect worn items during this transfer and move them BACK to the followers
  1476. normal inventory when the transfer is complete. I call this moment the
  1477. "snapshot". It only happens once, when you enable outfit management on a
  1478. follower.
  1479.  
  1480. Occasionally the snapshot fails to detect the worn items. The result is
  1481. all the gear ends up in the followers backpack and the follower becomes
  1482. nude. This confuses some users. Especially users who normally use the
  1483. root level dialogue "I need to take a look at your items", because they
  1484. see an empty inventory and dont realize that the dialogue now takes them
  1485. to the followers current outfit.
  1486.  
  1487. If this happens, dont be alarmed. It simply means you need to update thier
  1488. standard outfit manually. YOu should be able to access their old items by
  1489. using the root level dialogue "Open your backpack". Or you can use the
  1490. Tweak Options -> Gear -> View Standard Outfit option.
  1491.  
  1492. Store any gear you want them to wear and use in their normal inventory.
  1493. Put everything else in the backpack and they will ignore the items.
  1494.  
  1495. ** Inventory management is optional with AFT 1.6. HOwever, When upgrading
  1496. AFT from older versions, any previously managed AFT followers will
  1497. automatically have inventory management turned on. If the snapshot
  1498. fails on any currently managed NPCs during the upgrade, they could
  1499. become nude. Some users panic because they see lots of nude followers
  1500. with no items in their inventory (unaware of the new Backpack feature).
  1501. If this happens to you, don't panic. Just look for the backpack.
  1502.  
  1503. The simplest system is to simply enable the 1 outfit and leave the city
  1504. and home outfits disabled. I personally prefer this as there is a clear
  1505. distinction between what what is part of the outfit and what is not.
  1506.  
  1507. If it is in the backpack... it is not part of any outfit.
  1508.  
  1509. However, AFT will also manage 2 additional outfit "lists" that are
  1510. associated with City Areas and Home areas. Once outfit management is
  1511. enabled, you will find the options:
  1512.  
  1513. [ ] Enable City Outfit
  1514. [ ] Enable Home Outfit
  1515.  
  1516. Under Tweak Options -> Gear -> More Options ...
  1517.  
  1518. If you enable one or both of these options, you can configure the outfits
  1519. two different ways.
  1520.  
  1521. The first way is to simply use the Tweak Options menu:
  1522.  
  1523. Tweak Options -> Gear -> View City Outfit
  1524.  
  1525. or
  1526.  
  1527. Tweak Options -> Gear -> View Home Outfit
  1528.  
  1529.  
  1530. The second way is to use the root dialogue "I would like to take
  1531. a look at your items" while standing in an area associated with
  1532. an outfit. That is to say, the root level dialogue will always
  1533. edit their currently worn outfit.
  1534.  
  1535. So you COULD edit the home outfit by going home and then using the
  1536. root level dialogue "I would like to take a look at your items"
  1537.  
  1538. You will find followers automatically change into the proper outfit as
  1539. you walk into cities or your house.
  1540.  
  1541. When city and/or home outfits are enabled, then some of the items you
  1542. see in the backpack may belong to an outfit.
  1543.  
  1544. For this reason, AFT provides the command
  1545.  
  1546. Tweak Options -> Gear -> Give me all non-outfit items.
  1547.  
  1548.  
  1549. Nudity Flashing:
  1550.  
  1551. Outfits are simply lists of items. AFT simply moves everything to
  1552. the followers backpack and then moves their outfit items back
  1553. when you transition areas.
  1554.  
  1555. It is something you COULD do manually if you wanted to take the
  1556. time. AFT will do this pretty fast, but there will be a noticable
  1557. nudity flash when transitioning into cities or your house.
  1558.  
  1559. If you do not wish to see this flash, then you should only enable
  1560. the standard outfit or disable nventory management.
  1561.  
  1562. Combat:
  1563.  
  1564. If you have city outfits enabled and you are in city when combat
  1565. begins, followers will NOT switch to the standard outfit. So if
  1566. you enable the city-outfit, you will want to give your followers
  1567. at least a basic weapon so that they can fight. Alternatively,
  1568. you could only enable home outfits so that followers remain armed
  1569. in city areas.
  1570.  
  1571. E. Managed Follower Limits
  1572.  
  1573. As of version 1.5x, AFT will manage a maximum of 32 NPCs and only
  1574. 5 of them can follow you. As you recruit NPCs, you will see a
  1575. counter appear notifying you how many managed NPC slots you have
  1576. left.
  1577.  
  1578. The vanilla game has a total of 40 potential human followers
  1579. throughout all of skyrim. So 32 should be enough for most users.
  1580. You should keep this limit in mind however if you decide to make
  1581. use of the Tweak Make Follower power that comes with the mod. You
  1582. are more likely to run out of slots if you use the power too often.
  1583.  
  1584. When you reach 32, you may still recuit followers, however they
  1585. will not be managed by AFT and you will not see the Tweak Options
  1586. appear on them.
  1587.  
  1588. At any time, you can use the RESET AFT function to clean your
  1589. game of AFT so that you can begin recruiting a fresh batch of
  1590. followers.
  1591.  
  1592. Starting with version 1.6, you can also individually Reset NPCs,
  1593. freeing slots without the need to do a full Reset.
  1594.  
  1595. F. Recognized Perks
  1596.  
  1597. AFT searches for these specific perks and will display them if the
  1598. follower has them and qualifies for them. Perks that are not in this
  1599. list will not show up (but may still be active on the follower).

  1638. G. Skill Synergy Details
  1639.  
  1640. The purpose of Skill synergy is not to be exact, but to simply provide
  1641. some means for the player to continue leveling up when team members do
  1642. most the fighting and make most the kills. To this end, Skill synergy
  1643. awards are based on the followers combat style. They are not related to
  1644. the actual spells, weapons or armor your follower uses.
  1645.  
  1646. For example, The Sword and Shield combat style will randomly award a
  1647. skill point in block, one handed, light armor or heavy armor. A mage
  1648. will randomly choose one of the magic schools. Therefore, you may get
  1649. a point in Alteration even if you only teach destruction spells to your
  1650. mage.
  1651.  
  1652. Timeing wise, Synergy points are awarded when a follower completes a
  1653. certain number of battles with you. The number of battles required for
  1654. the next skill synergy point is based on the players level. As you level
  1655. up, more and more battles are required. So early on you will get many
  1656. skill synergy points, but that will level off.

  1661.  
  1662. A. Bonus Outfits
  1663.  
  1664. To gain access to someone's bonus outfit, go to the Gear menu, the
  1665. "More..." submenu and select
  1666.  
  1667. "Equip Bonus Outfit".
  1668.  
  1669. This will add the outfit to their inventory and have them put it on.
  1670. Should you remove the outfit from their inventory and select the option
  1671. again, it will add yet another copy of the outfit. If you like an outfit
  1672. you can distribute it to all of your followers.
  1673.  
  1674. The Core Mod includes nocturnal dresses for all females and Thieves Guild
  1675. leathers for all males. This was done to keep the mod size small and
  1676. family friendly. Additional outfit options will eventually be made
  1677. available at the skyrim nexus. Simply search for "AFT"
  1678.  
  1679. Outfit packs will not be distributed using Steam Workshop.
  1680.  
  1681. B. Horses
  1682.  
  1683. There are 5 horse venders throughout Skyrim: Whiterun, Windhelm, Riften,
  1684. Markarth and Solitude. Followers will normally only ride horses that are
  1685. purchased at one of these stalls.
  1686.  
  1687. However, AFT does allow ONE additional horse. Should you mount any
  1688. un-owned horse, the last un-owned horse that you mount becomes the
  1689. "ONE" additional horse. A popular example is Shadowmere.
  1690.  
  1691. C. Marriage
  1692.  
  1693. Additional marriage options include Illia, Aranea, Eola, Ugor, and Lydia
  1694. by popular request.
  1695.  
  1696. Also Erik the Slayer, Golldir, Ahtar.
  1697.  
  1698. D. Tips and Tricks
  1699.  
  1700. How to make someone a deformed Vampire Lord:
  1701.  
  1702. By default, Vampire lords are not deformed. Some users however want deformed
  1703. vampire lord followers. Here is how you can make it happen:
  1704.  
  1705. - Turn the follower into a normal vampire
  1706. - Use Tweak Options -> Settings -> Reset NPC
  1707. - As the (vampire) follower to follow you again.
  1708. - Upgrade to Vampire Lord
  1709.  
  1710. How to make someone a Werebear:
  1711.  
  1712. The game does not allow the player to become a werebear, which is why there
  1713. is no way to do it from AFT. However, you can make someone a werebear by
  1714. using console and AFT will support them:
  1715.  
  1716. In cosole type:
  1717.  
  1718. help Tweak
  1719.  
  1720. Note the first 2 characters of all the Tweak resources. Then, while console
  1721. is open, click on the NPC using the mouse. Then type:
  1722.  
  1723. addFac ##0537e9 1
  1724.  
  1725. where ## is the first 2 digits of all the tweak resources noted earlier.
  1726. (there is a space between the 9 and the 1)
  1727.  
  1728. Then close console, go to combat options and select Use werebear and select
  1729. "Stay in werebear form". This will start the Gift Scene. When it is done,
  1730. to return to the Combat Options and deactivate Werebear Form. Now they are
  1731. setup as a Wearbear. You can configure them however you want.
  1732.  
  1733. E. Recommendations
  1734.  
  1735. AFT relies on the dialogue system as the main interface. The author
  1736. therefore recommends a dialogue menu enhancement mod to keep AFT menu
  1737. items clearly visible after the first use. One such example is
  1738. "Ez2c" dialogue menu found on the skyrim nexus.

  1784.  
  1785.  
  1786. A) Some Background:
  1787.  
  1788. 1) Load Order:
  1789.  
  1790. When 2 mods require the same game resources, Skyrim gives the game
  1791. resource to the mod with the Lowest Load Order/Highest Priority.
  1792.  
  1793. Some mods can still function partially even when they don't get the
  1794. resources that they want. Other mods wont work at all. AFT will
  1795. work as much as it can when it doesn't get all the resources, but
  1796. you may see unexpected behavior or even error messages when it
  1797. doesn't. For example, followers not putting their managed clothes
  1798. on when changing areas. You can rule out load order issues by
  1799. simply placing AFT at the bottom of your load order. However if
  1800. AFT is not at the bottom for some reason, you may have to rule
  1801. out the possibility of Mod Conflicts.
  1802.  
  1803. The most common way to do this is with the Tool Tes5Edit, which
  1804. can be used to analize mulitple mods and highlight conflicts
  1805. between them in orange.
  1806.  
  1807. 2) Resource IDs
  1808.  
  1809. If you load up a game with AFT installed and open console and type:
  1810.  
  1811. help Tweak
  1812.  
  1813. You will see a bunch of resources scroll by, each one will have a
  1814. unique ID beside it. All of AFT's resources will begin with the same
  1815. 2 hexidecimal letters. IE: 02. The first 2 digits are the mods resouce
  1816. id.
  1817.  
  1818. When a mod is loaded into skyrim, skyrim assigns a resource id to it.
  1819. Normally resource IDs are assigned in the order that the mods were
  1820. activated. Many mods such as aft, create and and store off lots
  1821. information in the save game. Within the save game however, all of
  1822. AFTs local resources start with those 2 unique digits.
  1823.  
  1824. As long as you leave a mod enabled, Skyrim will generally ensure that
  1825. the unique ID assigned to the mod remains the same, even if you move
  1826. it around.
  1827.  
  1828. However, you can get into trouble if you disable a mod AND move it
  1829. around. When you re-enable the mod, Skyrim will likely assign it a
  1830. new unique ID... Your old save games will become corrupt as they
  1831. will still have the old IDs in the save.
  1832.  
  1833. When authors say your save is "dirty" this is what they are talking
  1834. about. Dirty Saves happen when you disable a mod and start up skyrim
  1835. while it is disabled.
  1836.  
  1837. B) The Test Run
  1838.  
  1839. If you had the patience to read the background section above, then you
  1840. know there is a possibility that any problems you have are the result
  1841. of a dirty save. An easy way to rule out a dirty save is to start a new
  1842. game, even if only temporarily, to see if you are still having problems.
  1843.  
  1844. Move AFT to the bottom of your load order and start a new game. Play
  1845. the game until you are safely inside Helgen Keep.
  1846.  
  1847. I normally side with the imperials as it means you dont have to worry
  1848. about more fighting once you are inside the keep.
  1849.  
  1850. Once you are safely inside the keep, save and then use console to spawn
  1851. several followers and see if they are working correctly.
  1852.  
  1853. Hit the tilde key (~\`) to bring up console and use the commands below
  1854. to spawn some common followers.
  1855.  
  1856. >player.placeatme 000a2c8f
  1857. >player.placeatme 000a2c8e
  1858. >player.placeatme 000a2c8c
  1859.  
  1860. ** These instructions can also be viewed in game using the AFT Readme
  1861. Manual added to the players inventory.
  1862.  
  1863. C) Symptoms and solutions:
  1864.  
  1865.  
  1866. 1) You see the message "AFT Warning: TweakXXXScript parameter
  1867. not injected. Using Default" flash in the top left corner
  1868. of the screen when using Tweak Option commands.
  1869.  
  1870. You have a mod conflict with one of your currently installed
  1871. mods or you are using an unclean save game where a previous
  1872. mod had already reserved the follower system.
  1873.  
  1874. Make sure AFT is at the bottom of your load order and if
  1875. you are playing an older save, consider trying the test
  1876. run instructions above and see if you have any issues with
  1877. a new game.
  1878.  
  1879. 2) Most of Aft is working, but after installing some new mods,
  1880. something stopped working. For example, followers
  1881. stopped catching up on weapon draw, etc...
  1882.  
  1883. You have a mod conflict with one of your currently installed
  1884. mods. Make sure AFT is still at the bottom of your load order.
  1885.  
  1886. 3) When you load a save game were you previous had AFT, all your
  1887. followers start walking away and ignoring your commands.
  1888.  
  1889. You either installed a mod that created a mod conflict or
  1890. you save game has become dirty. A mod conflict can be fixed
  1891. my simply moving AFT to the bottom of your load order.
  1892.  
  1893. See Section D "Dealing with Dirty Saves" below for help with
  1894. dirty save games.
  1895.  
  1896. 4) You see the message "Did you ask your followers to rejoin you
  1897. since installing AFT X.XX" when attempting to use Tweak Option
  1898. commands.
  1899.  
  1900. This occures when an upgrade has failed. Revert to the older
  1901. version of AFT and use Reset AFT and save a cleaned game
  1902. before upgrading.
  1903.  
  1904. Depending on how you upgraded, this can also be a sign of a
  1905. dirty save. (if you started skyrim between uninstalling the
  1906. old version of AFT and installing the new version of AFT).
  1907.  
  1908. If Reverting and Reset AFT do not fix your issue, then see
  1909. Section D "Dealing with Dirty Saves" below for help with
  1910. dirty save games.
  1911.  
  1912. 5) Game crashes when you start skyrim after uninstalling AFT
  1913.  
  1914. There are two main reasons why this happens. The first reason
  1915. is that some skyproc mods cache information about installed
  1916. mods. If you disable and uninstall AFT at the same time without
  1917. starting up skyrim between the disabling and the removal, the
  1918. cache can get out of synch and cause crashing. This is easy
  1919. enough to remedy. Just re-install AFT and startup skyrim with
  1920. it disabled before removing it.
  1921.  
  1922. The second reason is that another mod that you still have
  1923. installed has a dependency on AFT. In this case, if you remove
  1924. AFT, the mod with the dependency may crash your game.
  1925.  
  1926. Static dependencies declared by mods can be viewed using some
  1927. Mod Managers such as Wrye Bash. You should check if you current
  1928. mod manager lets you view dependencies and if not, consider
  1929. downloading Wrye Bash (I recommend version 302) and see if you
  1930. can identify any mods with a dependency on the
  1931. AmazingFollowerTweaks.esp file. If you find one and AFT is not
  1932. installed, you should disable it.
  1933.  
  1934. 6) Game crashes when you try to load a save game.
  1935.  
  1936. This is much more rare with AFT 1.6x. However it is still
  1937. possible if you taught your follower a custom spell, the
  1938. follower cast the spell (affect was active on follower)
  1939. and then you uninstalled the mod that provided the spell.
  1940.  
  1941. In this case, you will have to find an old save game where
  1942. the follower had not cast the spell. You will also want to
  1943. do a Reset AFT once you find one to ensure they do not
  1944. attempt to cast the spell again.
  1945.  
  1946. ** If this occures after uninstalling AFT
  1947.  
  1948. Some mods dynamically check for and load AFT dependencies at
  1949. runtime when AFT is detected. If not properly coded, these
  1950. mods can cause the game to crash when the dependency they
  1951. rely on is uninstalled. However, the crash will not happen
  1952. until you try to load a save game.
  1953.  
  1954. Mods with dynamic dependencies on AFT are hard to identify. The
  1955. only way to fix the issue is to figure out the mod and disable
  1956. it, or load a save game from before installing AFT.
  1957.  
  1958. Most candidate mods will likely mention AFT support explicitly
  1959. on their front page.
  1960.  
  1961. 7) Game crashes during combat
  1962.  
  1963. Two reasons this can happen. First, this can happen when hitting
  1964. followers with a spell effect during combat if the followers AI is
  1965. in a funky state. This state most often occures after an upgrade.
  1966. To fix, go around and talk/start dialogue with all of your active
  1967. followers. This will reset their AI and make your game stable once
  1968. again. I always try this first.
  1969.  
  1970. The second reason this can happen is if you taught one of your
  1971. active followers a custom spell, and then you uninstalled the mod
  1972. that provided the spell, the game can crash if followers try to
  1973. cast uninstalled spells. To remedy, use Reset AFT to clean your
  1974. game and then re-hire all your followers.
  1975.  
  1976. 8) Game crashes when you fast travel or transition between areas.
  1977.  
  1978. Some custom items such as Avatar of Grenth Armor add spell
  1979. effects to the armor that cause instability and crashing
  1980. when used with AFT's outfit management. Reset AFT to
  1981. ensure no custom outfits are assigned and see if problem
  1982. goes away.
  1983.  
  1984. Vampiric Possession is also known to leave Skyrim in an odd
  1985. state when only used one time. If you used vampiric possession
  1986. (most people remember since it is pretty cool), then use it
  1987. again on the same (or all) followers. This should fix the
  1988. state and once again allow fast travel without crashing.
  1989.  
  1990. 9) Game crashes when you try to do a Reset AFT
  1991.  
  1992. The only reason I am aware of that can cause this is if you used
  1993. AFT to manage a custom NPC and then uninstalled the custom NPC
  1994. without Reseting them first. This problem is almost impossible
  1995. to fix. Even if you know who the custom follower was, their
  1996. resource ID wont be the same if you re-install them. So I
  1997. generally recommend a clean reset (without using Reset AFT)
  1998. or you could consider starting a new game.
  1999.  
  2000. 10) Custom follower becomes invisible when transforming into a
  2001. werewolf or vampire lord.
  2002.  
  2003. Some custom follower models and races are not properly setup
  2004. to be compatible with the werewolf race and will cause this
  2005. issue. It is not something AFT can fix and must be fixed by
  2006. the original mods author or by YOU in the CK.
  2007.  
  2008. - In CK go to actors and find your follower.
  2009. - Click on the trait tab.
  2010. - Make sure Skin is set to none.
  2011.  
  2012. If the skin is something other than none (say a body armor), it will
  2013. cause the invisible werewolf issue.
  2014.  
  2015. 11) Random crashing and instability:
  2016.  
  2017. Mods are suppose to package all resources, both new and original
  2018. alterations in a .BSA file that gets distributed with the mod. This
  2019. is important because when you disable a mod or uninstall a mod,
  2020. skyrim knows what to not load since all the mods "stuff" is in the
  2021. BSA.
  2022.  
  2023. However, some mods do not distributed using proper BSA file archives.
  2024. Instead they extract their resources directly to your Skyrim/Data
  2025. directory. The issue with this is that when you disable the mod, its
  2026. resources are still sitting there. Even if you remove the esp, any
  2027. altered vanilla scripts and resources will remain altered.
  2028.  
  2029. You can figure out if you have such mods by checking your Data/Scripts
  2030. directory. Unless you have created mods on your own machine using the
  2031. Creation Kit, there should not be a single .pex file in that directory.
  2032.  
  2033. If you see .pex files in that directory, then some mod has extracted
  2034. its resources directly into your skyrim installation. This is bad.
  2035.  
  2036. It is especially dangerous if any of the .pex files match the names of
  2037. .psc files within the Data/Source/Scripts directory, as that means one
  2038. of the games original files is being overridden. This is dangerous
  2039. because when Skyrim patches, sometimes it updates those files. But if
  2040. .pex files from older versions of the game are sitting in your
  2041. data/scripts directory, then you have mismatched file versions. This
  2042. will cause all sorts of havok, game freezing and crashing at random
  2043. times.
  2044.  
  2045. Unfortunately this is a hard problem to fix other than uninstalling
  2046. and then re-installing Skyrim and re-downloading all your mods. If you
  2047. decide to do this, make sure to delete the skyrim directory after you
  2048. install in case any mod artifacts are left behind. And make sure when
  2049. you re-install your mods that you avoid ones that do not use bsa
  2050. archives.
  2051.  
  2052. D) Dealing with Dirty Saves
  2053.  
  2054. 1) Restore the ID (If possible)
  2055.  
  2056. Restoring the mod ID/order is only practical for users with 7 or
  2057. fewer mods. This is the best thing to do if you are able.
  2058.  
  2059. Basically, estore the mods to the same order and state they were
  2060. in before you changed things and made the saves dirty.
  2061.  
  2062. If AFT was previously the 3rd enabled mod, you want it to once again
  2063. be the 3rd enabled mod with the other two mods being the same mods you
  2064. had enabled before.
  2065.  
  2066. This will allow you to load your old save games and everything will be
  2067. working again. You can then re-order things while keeping AFT enabled.
  2068.  
  2069. So for example, I would disable all mods... start skyrim. Now enable
  2070. the first mod I installed (maybe it was a DLC), start skyrim and exit.
  2071. Now enable the second mod I installed, start skyrim and exit. etc...
  2072.  
  2073. 2) Reinstall AFT/Clean Reset
  2074.  
  2075. It is a shot in the dark, but sometimes it works. Follow the uninstall
  2076. directions for AFT above. Even if the reset aft command isn't doing
  2077. anything, you should still attempt to use it as it shuts down several
  2078. script loops. Before saving, go to console and type:
  2079.  
  2080. >StopQuest TweakMonitorPlayer
  2081. >StopQuest TweakFollower
  2082.  
  2083. Then Save. Then exit the game. Disable AFT and then reload the save. Fast
  2084. travel somewhere. Hit T and wait 24 hours. Then save again.
  2085.  
  2086. Exit the game, re-enable AFT and see when you load your cleaned game
  2087. if you can recruit once again.
  2088.  
  2089. It may not work, but it is your best bet and giving it a try normally
  2090. beats suggestion #3 below.
  2091.  
  2092. 3) Start a new game
  2093.  
  2094. Drastic, but better the # 4 below...
  2095.  
  2096. 4) Full Reboot
  2097.  
  2098. This is very drastic and not recommended, but is a last resort
  2099. and generally always works. Basically it involves re-installing
  2100. skyrim and starting a new game with AFT being your only installed
  2101. and enabled mod.
  2102.  
  2103. Keep in mind that when you uninstall skyrim, it does NOT remove
  2104. mod files. You must remove these manually by finding your Skyrim
  2105. installation folder/directory and delete it after uninstalling
  2106. skyrim, but before re-installing it.
  2107.  
  2108. This will delete all your mods. It will also delete any
  2109. custom mods you may be working on in the Creation Kit. So if you
  2110. are making your own mod, this really isn't an option.
  2111.  
  2112. Finally, some skyrim settings are kept under Documents/My Games/Skyrim.
  2113. Specifically, there are 2 ini files and render info stored there.
  2114. So when you uninstall Skyrim, make sure to delete those as well.
  2115.  
  2116. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  2117. VI. > > > > Uninstall
  2118. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  2119.  
  2120. Before you uninstall the mod, you will want to load any games you wish to
  2121. salvage and use the RESET AFT command available in the settings menu. Or
  2122. via the Tweak Commands power. You will see a message instructing you to
  2123. save after the Reset is complete.
  2124.  
  2125. Once you have reset/saved any games you wish to salvage, there are two
  2126. options for uninstalling AFT:
  2127.  
  2128. 1) Testing has shown that the easiest thing is to simply disable the mod
  2129. within the Data Files area of the startup splash.
  2130.  
  2131. 2) If you wish to physically remove the mod, then you should disable
  2132. AFT first and startup skyrim at least 1 time while AFT is disabled.
  2133. This helps to avoid stability issues and crashing that can happen
  2134. when other mods you have installed have dependencies on AFT.
  2135.  
  2136. Once you have started skyrim while aft was installed but disabled,
  2137. then locate the game installation directory. Most computers will find
  2138. it in one of these two locations:
  2139.  
  2140. C:\Program Files\steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\
  2141.  
  2142. or
  2143.  
  2144. C:\Program Files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\
  2145.  
  2146.  
  2147. Delete the following files from within the skyrim directory:
  2148.  
  2149.  
  2150. (Skyrim Install)\Data\AmazingFollowerTweaks.esp
  2151. (Skyrim Install)\Data\AmazingFollowerTweaks.bsa
  2152. (Skyrim Install)\Data\AmazingFollowerTweaks.bsl
  2153.  
  2154.  
  2155. 3) Optional Additional Steps:
  2156.  
  2157. If you have difficulty uninstalling the mod, you can try using the
  2158. commands below from console (While AFT is still installed) to manually
  2159. stop all quests and scripts associated with AFT. The Reset AFT command
  2160. stops all the quests listed below EXCEPT the TweakMonitorPlayer
  2161. Quest.
  2162.  
  2163. >StopQuest TweakCheck4Dialogue
  2164. >StopQuest TweakDawnGuard
  2165. >StopQuest TweakFixLydia
  2166. >StopQuest TweakFollower
  2167. >StopQuest TweakImportFollower
  2168. >StopQuest TweakLevelMonitor
  2169. >StopQuest TweakPotentialFollower
  2170. >StopQuest TweakTraps
  2171. >StopQuest TweakVampireKeyword
  2172. >StopQuest TweakMonitorPlayer

  2647.  
  2648.  
  2649. A. Dawnguard
  2650.  
  2651. - Starting with version 1.5, AFT is compatible with Dawnguard.
  2652.  
  2653. - Serana will have a new option at the top of her Dialogue:
  2654.  
  2655. "Manage with AFT"
  2656.  
  2657. Select the option to import Serana into the Managed Follower system.
  2658. Note that when you do this, she will begin consuming one of your
  2659. 5 follower slots. So you will no longer be able to use her as a
  2660. sixth companion. Some people may prefer to not select the Manage
  2661. with AFT option so that they can enjoy the sixth follower.
  2662.  
  2663. As a managed follower, you will have full access to Serana, like
  2664. any managed follower. You can also have her use her Vampire Lord
  2665. form if you so choose.
  2666.  
  2667. Unlike most followers, at times in the game, AFT will auto-dismiss
  2668. or summon Serana to avoid bugs in the DLC quest line.
  2669.  
  2670. After you return Serana home, Any manage or tweak options will
  2671. disappear from her dialogue until the DLC intro quest is finished.
  2672. If you are playing the Vampire Line, the "Intro quest" involves
  2673. filling the Blood Chalice. If you are playing the DawnGuard line,
  2674. the intro quest involves recruiting 2 more dawnguard members. For
  2675. those quests, Serana has been removed as a follower option
  2676. intentionally to prevent breaking the DLC. Once you rejoin Serana
  2677. you may have to change areas before the manage/tweak options become
  2678. available again.
  2679.  
  2680. - AFT supports two types of vampires. Normal vampires and Vampire
  2681. Lords. Normal vampires are often disfigured as part of their
  2682. disease, but Vampire Lords have blood pure enough to avoid the
  2683. disfiguration. So if you upgrade your standard vampire followers
  2684. to vampire lords, they will return to their old, non-disfigured
  2685. appearance, only with enhanced eyes.
  2686.  
  2687. - Like Werewolves, vampire lords gain powers and strength as you
  2688. increase in level.
  2689.  
  2690. - AFT will add a conversation to Serana so that you can return
  2691. to the Soul Cairn and rescue someone of importance if you side
  2692. with the Dawnguard.
  2693.  
  2694. Known Dawnguard Bugs:
  2695.  
  2696. - Armored Trolls are not yet manageable. Working on it.
  2697. - Some issues have been reported with Vampire Blood Hounds, though
  2698. the Dawnguard Huskys seem to work fine.
  2699.  
  2700. B. Hearthfire
  2701.  
  2702. - If you are trying to use AFT with Hearthfire, you should know that
  2703. there are known conflicts. (See the "E. Compatibility with other mods"
  2704. below for details).
  2705.  
  2706. In order to use AFT with Hearthfire, you must give AFT priority
  2707. over hearthfire. As of this writing, the Nexus Mod Manager does not
  2708. allow users to give a MOD priority over DLC. So to do this, you
  2709. must use the standard Mod manager that comes with the game.
  2710.  
  2711. Start up skyrim using the normal executable, go to the Data Files
  2712. section and place aft at the BOTTOM of the load order. (Below
  2713. Heathfire). Be warned that this should allow AFT to work, but it
  2714. may break some if not all of the Heathfires new follower commands
  2715. like "Patrol House".
  2716.  
  2717. There are currently no plans to fix compatibility with Hearthfire
  2718. as the Author of AFT is not interested in spending money on an
  2719. adoption/home building DLC.
  2720.  
  2721. For best compatibility, disable Heathfire and start a new game =)
  2722.  
  2723.  
  2724. C. DragonBorn
  2725.  
  2726. - AFT has some VERY minor compatibility issues with DragonBorn, but
  2727. nothing serious. For example, an extra "Follow Me" dialogue when
  2728. managing some of the DragonBorn Followers.
  2729.  
  2730. - AFT has support for Frea and makes her a werebear capable of
  2731. acting as a tank to deflect attention while you attack.
  2732.  
  2733. At times Frea will leave you and you will not be able to ask her
  2734. to follow you. This is intentional and part of the DLC. Once the
  2735. DLC is complete, you can ask Frea to accompany you once again.
  2736.  
  2737. - Avoiding placing Nordic Arrows in your followers inventories as
  2738. it has been known to cause game freezing.
  2739.  
  2740.  
  2741. D. Compatibility with other mods
  2742.  
  2743. This mod edits several quests in the game to accommodate the new follower
  2744. cap. Many quests which automatically remove your followers have been
  2745. updated. Mods which edit these existing quests might not be compatible:
  2746.  
  2747. DialogueAnimalTrainers - People that sell dogs
  2748. DialogueFavorGeneric - Handles Vanilla Follower "Join me" dialogue
  2749. DialogueFollower - Standard Follower System
  2750. HirelingQuest - Handles Hired Follower "Join me" dialogue
  2751. stables - People that sell horses
  2752. FreeformSkyhavvenTempleA - Blades Recruitment
  2753. FreeformSkyhavvenTempleB - Blades Recruitment
  2754. RelationshipMarriageWedding - The wedding ceremony scene
  2755. DarkBrotherhood - Cicero AI edits
  2756.  
  2757. Using TES5Edit, available at Skyrim Nexus, you can load several mods
  2758. and it will reveal what quests they edit. Using that tool and the
  2759. list of quests above, you can quickly discover what mods may have
  2760. conflicts with AFT.
  2761.  
  2762. 1) Some Mods will always be compatible.
  2763.  
  2764. Examples of Mods that should always be compatible:
  2765.  
  2766. - Mods which add New Areas
  2767. - Mods that add new Followers
  2768. - Mods that add new Weapons/Armor
  2769. - Mods that add new Quests
  2770. - Mods that change the look of horses in the game.
  2771. - Mods that enhance the Vampire or Werewolf races
  2772. - Mods that improve or update the GUI
  2773. - Mods which target Specific NPCs including:
  2774. - Mods that improve the look of NPCs**
  2775. - Mods that add inventory to specific NPCs
  2776. - Mods that alter marriage options
  2777. - Mods that add new conversations with specific NPCs (note the word "new")
  2778.  
  2779. ** : If you embrace an NPC and change them into a vampire, custom
  2780. tattoos, face paint and other features may be lost when the skin
  2781. tone changes.
  2782.  
  2783.  
  2784. 2) Some Mods are partially compatible:
  2785.  
  2786.  
  2787. Not all of the quests listed above are necessary for AFT to work.
  2788. AFT can generally operate to some degree as long as it gets the
  2789. "DialogueFollower" quest. Mods that alter the other quests may
  2790. still be partially compatible, but some functions within AFT may not
  2791. work. For example a mod that edits the Darkbrotherhood quest may break
  2792. AFT's control of Cicero, but all other followers would work just fine.
  2793.  
  2794. Finally, there is the notion of priority. WHen 2 mods both edit the same
  2795. quest, the mod lowest in your load order takes priority and gets the
  2796. quest while the other mod does not. If you combine AFT with another mod
  2797. that edits "DialogueFollower", but give AFT priority, AFT will still
  2798. function, but that aspect of the other mod will not.
  2799.  
  2800. So for example, Hearthfire which adds several features to the game, is
  2801. partially compatible with AFT because the new Follower commands are
  2802. only part of what it adds. (It also adds adoption and home building).
  2803.  
  2804. 3) Some Mods will never be compatible
  2805.  
  2806. Mods that focus exclusively on Follower updates generally rely on
  2807. "DialogueFollower" as much as AFT does. So trying to combine
  2808. AFT with other general-follower management mods almost never works.
  2809.  
  2810. Examples of mods that would NOT be compatible:
  2811.  
  2812. - Any mod that increases the number of NPC followers is not compatible
  2813.  
  2814. E. Standard Follower Locations and Codes
  2815.  
  2816. Most of this can be found on Wiki Pages, but below is a list.

  2973.  
  2974. The Default (female) Bonus Outfit points at these models for the body,
  2975. hands and feet:

  2977. Bonus Suit Models:

  2987. Example:
  2988. ========
  2989.  
  2990. Nif files internally point to the textures that they need. So when
  2991. installing a mod that introduces a NEW model into the game, you will need
  2992. to install the mod normally and then copy the .nif files into the Tweak
  2993. directory. (clobbering the names of associated body parts). So for
  2994. example:
  2995.  
  2996. 1) Download skin: (ex)
  2997.  
  2998. http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=6055 (optional vers)
  2999.  
  3000. 3) Follow the normal directions for installing the model.
  3001.  
  3002. (Normally extract to game folder)
  3003.  
  3004. 2) Extract the files to a temporary folder (Desktop\temp)
  3005.  
  3006. 4) Copy the .nif files to the AFT meshes directory:
  3007.

  3030. Scars, Tattoos and Skin enhancements:
  3031. =====================================
  3032.  
  3033. Most armors have an underlying skin mesh for flesh tones and textures.
  3034. The AFT bonus outfit overrides the default flesh tones with the following
  3035. texture files:
  3036.  
  3037. Bonus Outfit Flesh Textures:
  3038.  
  3039. (INSTALL DIR)\Data\textures\clothes\Tweaks\Default\FemaleBody_1.dds
  3040. (INSTALL DIR)\Data\textures\clothes\Tweaks\Default\FemaleBody_1_msn.dds
  3041. (INSTALL DIR)\Data\textures\clothes\Tweaks\Default\FemaleBody_1_s.dds
  3042. (INSTALL DIR)\Data\textures\clothes\Tweaks\Default\FemaleBody_1_sk.dds
  3043. (INSTALL DIR)\Data\textures\clothes\Tweaks\Default\FemaleHands_1.dds
  3044. (INSTALL DIR)\Data\textures\clothes\Tweaks\Default\FemaleHands_1_msn.dds
  3045. (INSTALL DIR)\Data\textures\clothes\Tweaks\Default\FemaleHands_1_s.dds
  3046. (INSTALL DIR)\Data\textures\clothes\Tweaks\Default\FemaleHands_1_sk.dds
  3047.  
  3048. If you wish to install a mod that adds tattoos or scars to the underlying
  3049. skin tone, then install the mod as normal and then locate the associated
  3050. dds files for the body, hands and feet. Same process as above, only with
  3051. texture files instead of models.
  3052.  
  3053. G. Technical (For Developers)
  3054.  
  3055. 1) How AFT works in a nutshell.
  3056.  
  3057. AFT sets the Global PlayerFollowerCount and AnimalFollowerCount to
  3058. 0 and makes them constant so that scripts never succeed in updating
  3059. their values. As far as the game is concerned, the player is running
  3060. around by themselves, so no one ever declines the opportunity to
  3061. join.
  3062.  
  3063. Starting with version 1.5, AFT exposes the actual number of
  3064. followers using a Global variable. This can be retrieved like so:
  3065.  
  3066. GlobalVariable g = Game.GetFormFromFile(0x0002C0E8, "AmazingFollowerTweaks.esp") As GlobalVariable
  3067.  
  3068. However, you dont want to retrieve the value all the time, because if a
  3069. user does not have AFT, the call above will result in an error message
  3070. getting logged to the log file. (Thus lots of calls could equal lots of
  3071. log spam).
  3072.  
  3073. 2) Proxys and You...
  3074.  
  3075. So the best practice in accessing external mod resources (without
  3076. compiling against them) is to create a proxy quest that checks for
  3077. loads resources one time when the user loads a save game.
  3078.  
  3079. Example (untested)
  3080.  
  3081. --------------------------------------------------------------------------
  3082. Quest : AFTProxy
  3083. Script : AFTProxyScript
  3084. --------------------------------------------------------------------------
  3085. Scriptname AFTProxyScript extends Quest Conditional
  3086.  
  3087. Bool Property init Auto
  3088. Bool Property Installed Auto Conditional
  3089.  
  3090. GlobalVariable Property TweakFollowerCount Auto
  3091.  
  3092. Event OnUpdate()
  3093. if (init)
  3094. init = false
  3095. OnGameLoaded()
  3096. return
  3097. endif
  3098. EndEvent
  3099.  
  3100. Function OnGameLoaded()
  3101. Quest AFT = Game.GetFormFromFile(0x020012CE,"AmazingFollowerTweaks.esp") As Quest
  3102. if (AFT)
  3103. Bool issue = false
  3104.  
  3105. ; Load Resources
  3106. TweakFollowerCount = Game.GetFormFromFile(0x0002C0E8,"AmazingFollowerTweaks.esp") As GlobalVariable
  3107.  
  3108. if (!TweakFollowerCount)
  3109. issue = True
  3110. endif
  3111.  
  3112. if (!issue)
  3113. Installed = true
  3114. else
  3115. Installed = false
  3116. endif
  3117.  
  3118. else
  3119. Installed = false
  3120. endif
  3121. EndFunction
  3122. --------------------------------------------------------------------------
  3123.  
  3124. So what invokes the Update or the OnGameLoaded function? This is invoked
  3125. by adding an Alias called PlayerRef to the Quest Aliases that is assigned
  3126. to the Specific Reference "PlayerRef" in cell "any"
  3127.  
  3128. You then attach a script to The PlayerRef alias (We will call it
  3129. Playermonitor) that can recived player events. One of these includes the
  3130. OnGameLoaded Event:
  3131.  
  3132. Example: (untested)
  3133.  
  3134. --------------------------------------------------------------------------
  3135. Quest : AFTProxy
  3136. Alias : PlayerRef
  3137. Script : PlayerMonitor
  3138. --------------------------------------------------------------------------
  3139. Scriptname PlayerMonitor extends ReferenceAlias
  3140.  
  3141. AFTProxyScript Property pAFTProxyScript Auto
  3142.  
  3143. Event OnInit()
  3144. pAFTProxyScript.init = True
  3145. GetOwningQuest().RegisterForSingleUpdate(4);
  3146. EndEvent
  3147.  
  3148. Event OnPlayerLoadGame()
  3149. pAFTProxyScript.init = True
  3150. GetOwningQuest().RegisterForSingleUpdate(4);
  3151. EndEvent
  3152. --------------------------------------------------------------------------
  3153.  
  3154. Make sure you hit the Properties button on the script after you save it,
  3155. select the pAFTProxyScript Property and fill it with AFTProxyScript.
  3156.  
  3157. Now your player monitor will fire the OnGameLoaded event, which
  3158. will load AFT resources.
  3159.  
  3160. 3) Resources
  3161.  
  3162. Example Resources you can add/access/control in the proxy above:
  3163. --------------------------------------------------------------------------
  3164.  
  3165. GlobalVariable TweakFollowerCount (0x0002C0E8) -< Real number of followers

  3181.  
  3182. Quest TweakBackPack (0x02047B10) <- Quest that manages backpacks
  3183.  
  3184. ** You can access a followers backpack by using:
  3185.  
  3186. int index = (follower.GetAV("favorActive") As Int) - 1
  3187. ReferenceAlias pBackPack = TweakBackPack.GetAlias(index)
  3188. if pBackPack && pBackPack.GetRef()
  3189. ObjectReference oBackPack = pBackPack.GetRef()
  3190. ...
  3191. endif
  3192.  
  3193. ** if you do this, you should also check if the npc belongs to the
  3194. TweakManagedInv faction and bail if they do not.
  3195.  
  3196.  
  3197. Spell TweakCommandSpell (0x02025A4B) <- Cast to bring up Tweak Commands

  3226. Faction TweakUseWereBear (0x02053D4D) <- NPC uses Werebear Form
  3227.  
  3228. Faction TweakAlwaysWereBear (0x02053D4E) <- NPC stays in Werebear Form

  3233.  
  3234. Faction TweakHDWereBear (0x02053D51) <- NPC changes when health is down (50%)
  3235.  
  3236.  
  3237.  
  3238. Faction TweakUseWereWolf (0x0200EB21) <- NPC uses werewolf ability
  3239.  
  3240. Faction TweakAlwaysWereWolf (0x02026511) <- NPC stays in Werewolf Form

  3255.  
  3256. Faction TweakEssential (0x0204BC01) <- Follower Marked essential
  3257.  
  3258. Faction TweakFarFaction (0x0204B127) <- Follower keeps distance from PC
  3259.  
  3260. Faction TweakHangout (0x0202142C) <- Follower is dismissed, but faction keeps them where they are.
  3261.  
  3262. Faction TweakHelmet (0x0202348F) <- NPC equips Helmet in combat only
  3263.

  3265.  
  3266. Faction TweakInStealth (0x02049B91) <- Is Follower in Stealth? (Additional check despite global)

  3271.  
  3272. Faction TweakNoAI (0x02042F83) <- Allow AFT scripts on NPC, but disable all AFT AI packages on NPC
  3273.  
  3274. ** This one was added to prevent bugs with Serana when in the soul cairn. Allows things like
  3275. catch up on weapon draw, managed level up, outfits, stealth mode, auto-heal and beast form
  3276. transformation, but does not apply any AI packages to her. (except ride horses when player
  3277. mounts a horse).
  3278.  
  3279. Could also be used by external mod that wants full AI control of follower (possibly to aid with
  3280. quests added by mod), but doesn't mind AFT's scripted enhancements. However such a mod would
  3281. still need to provide a quest with its own alias and follow package. (But the quest wouldn't
  3282. necessarily need a super high prioriy).
  3283.  
  3284. Faction TweakPosed (0x0200B4E4) <- Is follower posed?
  3285.  
  3286. ==================================================================================
  3287.  
  3288. 4) And there is more...
  3289.  
  3290. AFT uses Script Extensions to override the methods on the
  3291. DialogueFollower Quest that handles the default follower system.
  3292. Additionally, there is a monitor that informs AFT when the PC
  3293. enters conversation. So most the time, any follower that is managed
  3294. by the default follower system automatically gets picked up by AFT.
  3295.  
  3296. However mods with custom followers that have their own AI may want
  3297. to control how AFT handles (or doesn't handle) them.
  3298.  
  3299. For authors who do not feel like building a proxy quest, you can simply add
  3300. your follower to the vanilla Faction "JobJarlFaction". Starting with AFT
  3301. 1.63, this faction is ignored by AFT. Note that AFT replaces the standard
  3302. follower system, so your follower will need their own quest, alias and
  3303. attached follow package. (See DialogueFollower for an example).
  3304.  
  3305. Scripted Enhancements are provided by the TweakFollower Quest. There is very
  3306. little AI on the TweakFollower quest. Rather, there are 32 aliases pointing
  3307. to all managed NPCs (both active and dismissed). Each Alias has about 12
  3308. scripts capturing and reacting to events. THese events do things like
  3309. put clothing on the follower when their model loads.
  3310.  
  3311. Most of the AI is handled by the DialogueFollower Quest. There are about
  3312. a dozen or so AI packages providing all of AFT's non-combat options and
  3313. then there is a formlist called TweakCombatOverrides which
  3314. takes over the AI when combat begins. These combat override packages
  3315. are were the combat style is defined and how AFT enforces combat styles.
  3316.  
  3317. The list is evalutated from Top to bottom, so while you could append
  3318. another package to the list, the only way your package would be
  3319. reached is if the follower Combat Style was set to None or you added
  3320. the a follower to the TweakNoAI faction.
  3321.  
  3322.  
  3323. 5) Compatibility
  3324.  
  3325. The following quests are edited by AFT
  3326.  
  3327. DialogueAnimalTrainers
  3328. DialogueFavorGeneric
  3329. DialogueFollower
  3330. HirelingQuest
  3331. stables
  3332. FreeformSkyhavvenTempleA
  3333. FreeformSkyhavvenTempleB
  3334. RelationshipMarriageWedding
  3335. DarkBrotherhood
  3336. VoicePowers
  3337.  
  3338. The following Triggers were edited:
  3339.  
  3340. DA02ShrineApproachTrigger
  3341.  
  3342. The following Furniture was edited:
  3343.  
  3344. DA02Pillar
  3345.  
  3346. The following Weapon Was edited:
  3347.  
  3348. FollowerBow (turned into an invisible set of brass knuckles)
  3349.  
  3350. The following Armor was edited:
  3351.  
  3352. ThievesGuildArmorVariants were made playable to
  3353. accommodate default male bonus outfits.
  3354.  
  3355. The original quests/scripts were not edited directly. Rather, I used
  3356. script extension to extend the functionality of original quest/alias
  3357. scripts, preserving the original. I took this approach so that when
  3358. users disable AFT from the Data-Files menu, the mod is actually
  3359. disabled. Not as big of an issue if you distribute using BSA, but also
  3360. makes you more mod friendly with other mods.
  3361.  
  3362. A majority of the extensions were to the individual Dialogue scripts
  3363. used by the various voicesets. This was how AFT imported followers
  3364. before version 1.5. Version 1.5 includes a backup implementation that
  3365. should pick up new followers even when those topics/scripts are
  3366. clobbered by another mod (such as a dialogue enhancement mod).
  3367.  
  3368. AFT uses and relies on the following (Global) Actor Values:
  3369.  
  3370. FavorActive : Used to assign small incremental ID to actors for fast
  3371. lookup. Probably the most important AV value. If another
  3372. mod messes with this value, AFT probably wont work at
  3373. all.
  3374.  
  3375. Infamy : Used to enforce Sleep AI. If another mod edits this value,
  3376. sleep might break, but that is about it. (Could be re-
  3377. implemented using factions)
  3378.  
  3379. Fame : Used For bonus outfits (communicate events to other mods)
  3380. If another mod edits this value, it might break
  3381. (non-default) bonus outfits. As of 1.64, there are none.
  3382.  
  3383. FavorsPerDay : No Trap support. If another mod edits this value,
  3384. followers might set off traps. Implementation
  3385. requires actor value.
  3386.  
  3387. FavorsPerDayTimer : Controls Combat Style. If another mod messed with
  3388. this AV, followers will likely kick back to default
  3389. combat styles. (Could be re-implemented using
  3390. factions)
  3391.  
  3392. 6) Outfit Packs
  3393.  
  3394. While GetFormFromFile makes it easy to detect if AFT is installed, how
