The Guar Whisperer

This mod allows you to tame guars as your personal companions. Keep them happy and well feed and they will begin to trust you over time, unlocking new commands and abilities. Breed guars with a chance of getting a rare white baby guar.

To begin, activate a guar (must be a non-scripted creature using the vanilla guar mesh) while you have some guar food in your inventory. The command menu will then become available, by activating at short distance, or pressing Q to issue remote commands. Guar food includes things like saltrice, kresh weed, marshmerrow, corkbulk and wickwheat. Feed the guar a few more times until it trusts you enough to follow you. From then on, spend time with your guar and keep it happy and its trust will increase over time and more commands will unlock.

Taming Mechanics:

• []Make your guar happy by playing games, petting it, and keeping it healthy and well fed.

  []Guar can eat food from your inventory, or you can command them to eat directly from plants in the world

  []The happier your guar, the more quickly it will trust you. Keep your guar happy to unlock new commands sooner.

  []At higher levels of trust, your guar can equip packs and even breed with other guar.

  []Additionally, happiness determines your guar's flee value, making it run from battle more frequently if it isn't happy.

  Intelligent Command Menu:

  • []Press Q while looking at your guar to activate the context command menu.

    []Use the scroll wheel to cycle through options, or press Q again to cancel.

    []While the context menu is active, the available options are based on what you are looking at: for example, look at an enemy to bring up the attack command, or at an item to bring up the fetch command, etc.

    []Press the activate key to trigger the selected command.

    []Some commands are available by activating the guar directly.

    []As your guar's trust increases, new commands become available. At first it will only have move/attack commands.

    []At a high enough trust rating, you can equip a backpack to your guar. This command will show up in the menu when you have a backpack in your inventory and the guar trusts you enough.

    []Once equipped, hold shift+activate to access companion share.

    []A lantern transferred to your guar's inventory will show up on the pack itself. Shift+activate it to toggle the lantern on and off.

    [*]Camping gear from Ashfall will also display on the pack. Shift+a
