📋 About This Mod

================================================== DEVELOPER MESSAGE UPDATE 11/06 ==================================================
A quick list of notes on XSquad: -------------------------------- The squad comms should work with any npc teammate, like those from the original game once they\'ve joined you as companions. To force any non-teammate npc\'s availability for squad entry, you can use \"SetPlayerTeammate 1\" on them in the console. Removing the Tutorial Mode guys from a squad doesn\'t fire them as companions; you can do this by bringing up the console, clicking them and typing \"setplayerteammate 0\". The amount of controlled companions is virtually limitless. You need the latest NVSE version installed to run XSquad. More coming. First XSquad video review Watch it in the videos section. Released v0. 9 I\'m happy to finally release this mod, which has been shelved in a practically finished first release state since februari. I guess I was overtaken by ideas for what is now known as XRE, which has been claiming my modding time since then. As I\'m awaiting the new Vertibird model before taking XRE to the next stage, I should have some time to spend on XSquad babybugs. When reporting a bug, please use the XSquad\'s own diagnostic feature and include it in your bug report (XSquad Main Menu -> System Settings -> Debug Data Report). Have fun! Ermeso
