This mod optimizes pets for manual combat. It changes the behavior of pets in idle mode, improves their responsiveness to manual commands, adds some quality of life changes, and adds a function for a new adaptable hotkey whose effect changes depending on the pet summoned.
Features for all Pets:
Displays a message when pet hunger is depleted
Removes the inherent 0.5~1.0 second delay associated with the "come!" command/hotkey
Removes the timeout associated with manually activated defense and counter - pet will hold such skills until expended or commanded otherwise
Disables random wandering/sitting while in idle mode
Quickens healing, either requested manually or via the default healing mode AI - pet will use heal charges as fast as the player could by spam clicking
Ensures pet will use all charges of healing (same conditions as above), useful for players with high latency whose pets seem to not expend all of their heal charges
When logged in as a pet, idle AI will no longer cancel your skills by taking over control and making you wander after a few seconds of inactivity
Pet-specific Features:
Disables mimic's annoying shaking when idle
Disables spider's idle generation of web
Gives small birds the ability to sit without a perching glove (they can still perch on master's glove by using the "come!" command/hotkey)
Adaptable Hotkey:
If you go to the hotkey settings ingame, you will find a command called "Pet's Adorable Act" near the bottom. This function goes pretty much unused by most pets by default, but with this mod it becomes a hotkey capable of performing a skill or function unique to the pet you currently have summoned, without actually taking a slot in your F1~12 hotkeys. The function of the hotkey depends on the summoned pet.
Adaptable Hotkey Functions:
Dragon: Lightning Breath
Crab: Bubble on master
Elephant: Splash master
Griffin: Roar
Mimic: Swallow
Mini ghost: Master teleport
Mini skeleton: Play dead
Monkey: Stone throw
Black Ostrich, Grunty: Dash
Herb Pig, Sheeps, Snakes: Enable collection by other players
Timberman: Evasion
Thunder Dapple, Hornwort: 5-charge Thunder
Every other pet: If they are capable of firebolt, 5-charge firebolt (although with an unfortunate long delay between each charge)
