BuddyStone Param has been improved.
This allows you to summon spirit ashes just about anywhere. The summon range is now 9999 across all monuments. A script created by SnowfallHH was included to help resolve dead zones too. Many thanks to him for allowing me to use it for this mod. However his script causes Spirit Ashes to despawn upon entering a new dead zone. This could happen anywhere between 5ft to 50ft away from region to region or even in the same dungeon. If this becomes too annoying for you. You can easily delete the script folder and it will solve this issue. This mod also allows you to continuously summon Spirit Ashes even after they die. As long as you are not using Seamless Coop which has limitations and bugs with Spirits Ashes.
NPCThink Param has been improved.
Their AI has been improved to follow and warp to player. As well as allow them to climb ladders, navigate small rocks, and jump over small cliffs. They will obviously require the need to have said animation to do all these things though. So if a summoned Spirit Ash doesn't have a jump or climb animation they will usually default to warping to the player instead.
Agro Ranges: By default Fromsoft set all Spirit Ash agro range to 1ft. Except wandering Spirit Ashes which are set to WANDER and not FOLLOW but I have already changed them to allow them to FOLLOW the player. By increasing their agro range, I gave them the ability to make their own decisions when it comes to engagements. Instead of waiting for the player to engage fights first. Now they will choose to fight on their own when enemies are near them.
Melee Spirit Ashes have an agro range of 6ft.
Ranged Spirit Ashes have an agro range of 12ft.
All Legendary Spirit Ashes have an agro range of 12ft.
Exceptions:
Latenna and Lobo's AI are set to STAND STILL to allow her UNIQU
