UFO - Ultimate Follower Overhaul by fLokii

I merged the Dawnguard and Hearthfire addons to the main mod so you choose one file and install.

Description:

UFO - Ultimate Follower Overhaul(v1.5 Skyrim or higher required)

UFO is a set of tools and enhancements to the followers system that will allow for better control and usability of followers.

GOALS:

Make it simple, so it works even for people that don't read description instruction.

Give new and expand existing follower options.

Fix broken stuff from vanilla.

Make it easy to use.

Ensure compatibility with most type of mods.

FEATURES:

1)Dialogue:

a)You know... (a dialogue branch containing various options depending on NPC you are interacting with)

--You are important./Everyone dies... (Set follower essential so that it takes damage, but only goes down on one knee or mortal. Mortal = can be killed and does not regenerate hp)

--You could dress better. (Converts unmovable, invisible outfit follower has to regular gear that can be removed so followers will wear whatever player places in their inventory)

--Relax for a while./Time to go. (Follower stay on the location doing various things. If set to mortal, relaxing regenerates health as of 1.1b)

--In combat mistakes happen. Forgive and forget./Anyone hurts you, make them pay.(Set follower to react/ignore friendly hits by player)

--You are naked... (Makes a naked follower dress)

--Speaking of magic... (a branch containing dialogue concerning magic)

----Study that book, you will find it useful. (Make follower use a spell tome from inventory to learn a spell[vanilla])

----Forget you ever knew magic. It is a vile art. (Make follower forget learned spells)

--I need your help./You are dismissed. (Recruit/dismiss guards from party. Requires you be a Thane and have a houscarl with you)

--Nothing, sorry. (End conversation.)

b)So what are you good at? (Will display follower statistics with current equipment bonuses)

c)Train some, you are weak... (Will level up follower statistics to match current level)

2)Follower Limit -- Amount of followers you can have accompany you has been raised to 15 (not including dogs or quest NPCs). This limit is shared with the number of followers you can have relaxing at place of your choosing.

3)Riding for followers -- 8 follower horses can be found at major cities and stables around Skyrim for followers to ride.

Gear for horses can be bought at Whiterun Stable.

From Skulvar at Whiterun stable you can buy:

-- [Horse Tack] Basic Gear -- When placed in UFO horse inventory: UFO Horse will follow you while you are mounted, fast travel after you while you are mounted. Followers will port ahead and horses will come after you wait for 1h. Price: 1000 gold

-- [Horse Tack] Martingale -- When placed in UFO horse Inventory: UFO Horse will wait in place when dismounted. Price: 200 gold

-- [Horse] Interact -- Also you can get training in horse handling. This will add "[Horse] Interact" item to your inventory. Equip it in hand and use on UFO horse. This will open UFO horse Inventory. Price: 500 gold [As of 1.2g works on players horse too.]

UFO horses with no Horse Tackle will go back to location you found them once dismounted.

-- While mounted--

Follower and horse will fast travel with player [with 1.6 followers will fast travel ahead of horses, waiting 1h will port horses to your location. being worked on atm to restore old functionality.]

Follower horses will follow the lead horse when ridden by player (allows you to relocate horses)

Followers will not engage in combat unless player is attacked

Using Relax Voice Command 2x(twice) will command followers to dismount (should you not wish to wait for them to dismount on their own)

--Not mounted--

Follower horses will not fast travel

Follower Horses will stay on location where they were dismounted by follower

5)Group commands:

Book "Field Command" found in Breezehome will teach you voice commands. They are used as any voice power pressing Z(voice cast button by default).

- Can be bought from Skulvar at Whiterun Stable. Requirements: 50 Speechcraft, 5000 gold (1.2f)

--Command Relax (All followers within range will enter sandbox behavior waiting on the location and doing different things. Group relax does regenerate mortal followers. Use again for followers to stop relaxing)

--Command Stop (All followers withing range will receive wait order. Use again for followers to start following you.)

--Command Flee (If battle is going poorly command your followers to flee. They will disengage and run after player. Use again to stop fleeing behavior. While fleeing followers will not use horses.)

--Command Stop Fighting (Should followers start fighting among themselves this will shout them to a stop.)

TIP: Commands can be hotkeyed to number buttons for faster use (in my case i bound them to 5,6,7, 8 buttons and i cast them by Q)

5)Misc.:

a)Houscarls --All houscarls will move to their towns player house when you purchase it

b)Level caps --Level limits have been removed on vanilla followers (some possibly require new game for level limit to be gone depending on type of npc introduction to the world)

c)Dual wield -- All followers can dual wield if given appropriate weaponry

d)Gender animations -- All follower animations are gender appropriate (example of Lydia by default using male animations)

e)Weapon drawing -- Followers draw weapons in combat and no longer each time a player does.

f)Sneaking -- Followers will not engage while sneaking, unless spotted or combat starts.

g)Marriage -- All followers have been marked with flag to be available for marriage.

h)Bow/arrows -- Endlessly spawning bow and arrows have been removed

-- UFO - Ultimate Follower Overhaul --

Update 1.2i

FIxed: Follower Sneak/Mount mix

Update 1.2h

Added a fix for 1.7 Skyrim patch dialogue bug. Should no longer be needed to save/load to get custom dialogues to work.

Update 1.2g

Added Proper Relax and Flee for animal follower. Done

Dialogue choices for animal follower tweaked. Done

[Horse]Interact - Opens players horse inventory too.[it's practical and changes nothing on player horse. So 100% compatible with any horse mod. Hence added.]

Misc. tweaks and fixes. Done

-- UFO - Dawnguard AddOn--

v1.0 - Armored Trolls walk away if player is sneaking or riding - Fixed

This is an add-on for the DLC that I will initially use to fix any issue that might show. After Bethesda releases source files from the DLC I will probably just make a whole new main esp for Dawnguard, but for now this is preferred as the issue are minor.

-- UFO - Heartfire AddOn--

v1.0a - Added two follow/wait scripts i missed in v1.0

v1.0 - New Houscarls added to UFO system

UFO - THINGS TO KNOW

****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

0. Read and do what is on description page for your own benefit.

1. UFO requires 1.5 or higher version of Skyrim

2. Always prefer the use of ORIGINAL GAME LAUNCHER to any 3rd party program for install and load order management.

3. What i write is what i mean. If you follow instructions as written, you will win.

4. If you have problems with functionality and did not follow instructions, follow instructions.

5. Fail Safe Install Procedure for Beginners is made for you and to help you with removing mods properly. If you did not have old mods, all you would need to do is enable UFO and play.

6. Having bad saves from old mods is not an UFO issue, it is yours and of mod authors whose mods, being uninstalled, messed it up.

FAIL-SAFE INSTALL PROCEDURE FOR BEGINNERS

0) Update Skyrim to 1.5 or higher version.

1) For everything below use ORIGINAL GAME LAUNCHER

2) Start Skyrim, load game, dismiss all followers,type show playerfollowercount and if it shows 0, save game, Quit.

3) Disable all mods affecting follower limit or mechanic (ILF, Mullti followers, TCG and any other) then uninstall them.

4) Delete any loose pex files in DATA/SCRIPTS folder that are on the list i have linked(LIST OF BAD PEX FILES )

UNINSTALL:

1)(Only If You Do Not Want To Play UFO Anymore) First dismiss all your followers.

2) Talk to Tina the Firefly on river island by Riverwood. Clicking her three times will restore default follower outfits. Save. Disable UFO. Load the save you made. Now you can go on playing without UFO from that save on.

UPDATING UFO

Unless stated otherwise download updated files, extract them to data folder and when prompted replace the old ones in there.

Check in ORIGINAL GAME LAUNCHER that UFO is still lowest in load order(or where you had it before updating).

Start Game.

Extra:

Updating Directly from versions 1.0(a - f) to version 1.0g and higher using Full UNINSTALL (otherwise the above extract,replace,play should be used) :

1) Dismiss followers, talk to TIna till you get msg to remove UFO. Save

2)Disable UFO, load then save.

3)Extract new files to data folder replacing old UFO files, enable UFO in Original Game launcher, place it last in load order(or in place it was before being disabled). Load save. Done

TROUBLESHOOT

a) Bad Save Game

Do Fail Safe Install Procedure on a different save.

Start new game.

Contact mod authors whose mods you uninstalled and got problem from

You have a mod conflict.

1)Disable ALL mods you have and leave only UFO enabled

2)Rename DATA/SCRIPTS folder to DATA/0SCRIPTS

Thanks, works fine

In UFO I can recruit more than 1 follower if i have a "exotic follower", i still can't equip the items that i want (is a general problem the mods itself does not support this) but i managed to do a old trick that for some reason did not cross my mind in that time lol, i give them a better armor them dismissed (for followers) pickpocket their default armor, them give the item i want and finally grab my armor back

Problem solved

Maybe I'm being dense, haven't used patchkits  before.

Extracted UFO -

Ultimate Follower Overhaul-14037-1-2i,

UFO - Dawnguard AddOn-14037-1-0b,

UFO Heartfire AddOn-14037-1-0a,

ApplyPatch_v1.3_by_selyb and

UFO_v1.2i_(Patchkit-1) to the same folder

 

ran the batch file "UFO v1.2i DG HF.bat"

 

Output says

"Install to your Xbox360 at Content/0000000000000000/425307E6/00000002/UFO v1.2i"

But I see no sign of "UFO v1.2i" in the folder...

 

Putting the contents of ApplyPatch in the system path and removing them from the work folder gives the same results...

[selyb 117]

Look in your system32 folder and see if it's there. If not, then use the search box on the start menu and search your entire system. I thought I fixed all bugs like this though :-/

[LuciferStarr 0]

Nothing.

Tried putting the folder at root as well.

"UFO v1.2i" should be an outputed file, yes?

It's not a subfolder of 00000002 contaning the esp and bsa, is it?

[selyb 117]

You are correct. I'll try to reproduce this problem today.

[selyb 117]

I downloaded and ran this on a virtual machine and everything worked so I'm not sure what is going wrong. What language is your version of windows?

[LuciferStarr 0]

UK English

Sorry for the delay in reply.

Edited January 27, 2013 by LuciferStarr

[selyb 117]

I switched all my settings to UK eng and it still worked with no problem. I have no idea why it wouldn't work for you.

[LuciferStarr 0]

I'll try it on a different PC tomorrow. Might be I'm just not having multiple followers.

EFF doesn't work well for me, whenever I sneak, one follower will decide to wander off home, I'm like - , where are you off to?

[selyb 117]

Strange, I have never noticed this behavior but I haven't done much testing with it either. I think I have had 2-4 followers and we could all sneak just fine...

I haven't tried UFO in a while. I converted it once 8-10 months ago and that version was very incompatible for the 360. I switched to EFF then and never went back.

[LuciferStarr 0]

I first noticed in on the way to Bleakfalls barrow with the Wood Elf from Riverwood - Y'know wotsisname, all doe-eyed over the shopkeep's sister. Anyway here I was heading up the path, spot the old lookout tower, go into sneak to use my bow. And he about faces and starts walking down the path - in full view of the bandits!

copied the folder to an SD card. Tried it on second PC. Low and behold, it worked. I love the peculiarities of my PC, so I do. Sorry for dragging you back to this mod for no good reason.

No problem. Better to know twice over that it does work than to wonder.
