📋 About This Mod

Summary: Follower Cheat Menu v6 Adds an MCM menu for viewing/modifying some of the game\'s companion-related script variables. Allows the player to hire unlimited companions and use the NCR Emergency Radio at will, among other things. Requires MCM, which requires NVSE. Notes: NEW IN V6 MCM v1. 5 (OR NEWER) IS NOW REQUIRED FOR THIS MOD TO BEHAVE PROPERLY I\'ve added some controls to the misc->general submenu to force all companions currently in the party to follow, wait, and/or move to the player. This allows you to use a single click to (un)park your entire party outside of Caesar\'s tent, for example. This mod started as my first try at using Mod Configuration Menu (MCM, http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=42507). I initially wrote it because people complained about glitches with some of the other companion mods out there, and it looked to me like it would be easy to hire multiple companions by just having in-game access to the relevant script variables. This allows you to access the following companion features: - humanoid in party flag - critter in party flag - total humanoids+critters in party count - force all companions in party to wait, follow or move to player - hired/fired/available/lucky38/dead/aggressive/weapon/follow/enabled/essential flags for Boone, Cass, Veronica, Lily, ED-E variants, Raul, Arcade and Rex - access inventories of the above-mentioned companions, even when they are not currently hired - teleport any of the above-mentioned companions to the player, or vice-versa - recruit all 3 versions of ED-E at the same time (no upgrade, weapons upgrade and armor upgrade versions) As a bonus, it also allows you to access the following NCR Emergency Radio related features: - bypass delay after calling for support - supply drop quest state - dismiss specific followers, including bugged ones picked up at Camp McCarran Its main use is to allow hiring of unlimited companions; this can be accomplished in different ways depending on the companion type: For humans, disable the \"humanoid in party\" flag just before attempting to hire an additional companion. This is all that needs to be done, as the game will automatically re-enable the flag upon hiring, as well as incrementing the variable containing the total number of followers. For critters (ED-E and Rex), disable the \"XXX hired\" flag for the critter that is already in your party. This will allow you to hire the second critter. Then, re-enable the \"XXX hired\" flag on the first critter so that it stays in your party too. Note that you apparently cannot disable the essential flag for companions who are in your party (in casual mode at least), although you can set it for ones who are currently not in your party. Note also that recruiting multiple versions of ED-E is obviously a bit buggy. For example, you won\'t see the companion wheel for the extra versions, and they may not all follow you and/or enga
