Pet Interaction

This is a re-implementation of Consillium's Pet Enhancement Mod which was sadly abandoned by the author. I added some features such as:

What it does:

• [] Your pet can follow you (nearly) everywhere outside. It waits for you in front of the door if you enter a building. Right-click your pet to make it follow you.

  [] Your pet really likes birds and tries to chase them but luckily they will get away.

  [] If you have a stick in your hand, you can throw it (left-click). Your pet will bring it back to you and has a chance to gain friendship points. (original idea)

  [] Getting hit by a tool or wet by your watering can will decrease the friendship. But you can say sorry by petting it again.

  Installation:

  • []Install the latest version of SMAPI.

    []Download this mod and unzip it into Stardew Valley/Mods.

    []Run the game using SMAPI.

  Uninstall

  :

  • []Remove the folder of this mod.

    Please note: Your pet is a bit wider than it seems. It cannot go vertically through spaces that are a single tile wide.

    There is also a known issue that causes your pet to greet people in the town. This is a vanilla feature making npcs greet each other randomly while walking by. I decided that this is not worth fixing since it would require changes that might lead to incompatibilities and bugs and it is also funny.

    Configuration:

    After you loaded the mod once, the configuration file config.json is created in the folder of the mod. Restart the game for your changes to take effect.

    []"pet_friendship_decrease_onhit": default 20, friendship points that get subtracted if you hit your pet with a tool

    []"pet_fetch_friendship_chance": default 40,  chance in % that playing fetch increases the friendship with your pet

    []"pet_fetch_friendship_increase": default 10, friendship points that get added if you play fetch long enough

    []"pet_petting_friendship_increase": default 12, friendship points that get added if you pet your pet

    []"stick_range": default 12. 0, throwing range of the stick in tiles

    []"show_message_on_warp": default true, show a message after changing map and pet cannot follow (e.g. inside a house)

    []"unconditional_love": default false, show "<pet> loves you" message every time you pet it

    []"love_everytime_at_max_friendship": default false, show "<pet> loves you" message every time the friendship is at maximum and you pet it

    [*]"pet_speed": default 6, value used internally (pixels per frame) to move the pet, this was the value that worked best for the animation
