📋 About This Mod
Why? Hey guys, today I lost Paladin Danse on Spectacle Island. It was pretty frustrating since he was supposed to bring back a good haul (I needed him to leave for the lone wanderer perk to kick in). Anyways, I searched for him for a good while, even scoping in VATS around the island hoping I'd find him with no luck. He also did not come when I sounded the siren. Surely I'm not the only one who runs into this issue, so I whipped up a solution: Companion Tracker.
How do I use it?
In the chemistry station, under utilities, craft the Companion Tracker holotape.
Once crafted, go to the Misc section of your inventory, it should be located by the bottom. Play the holotape.
You can now choose to select a custom group or simply track all companions.
Select the Companion Tracker quest so the markers become visible on your map.
How does "Other Companions" work?
Companions that come from mods need to be added to the "HasBeenCompanionFaction" after their initial recruitment by the player in order to be compatible with this feature.
I will not add support for other people's mods. If they were copying how Bethesda handles companions then they should already be doing this. Kindly ask them to do so if they have not. :)
Please note the following:
-
[]
The holotape will only track vanilla companions.
[]The holotape will only display available companions and will show more as you unlock new companions.
[]The holotape can be dropped, you can always create another holotape at the chemistry station workbench as needed.
[]If you create another automatron or recruit another custom companion, you will need to stop tracking them and then re-track them for the new members to appear as tracked.
