Animal Friends
This mod is a customizable YYTK mod for Fields of Mistria that:
Can increase the amount of heart points your animals gain from various actions (such as petting, feeding, etc.).
Can prevent animals from losing heart points.
Can automatically pet your animals (daily).
Can automatically feed your animals (daily).
Can automatically ring the bell for animals to go outside or inside.
Each option can be set individually in the mod's configuration file. The mod will automatically create one with default values.
Version 1.2: Config File Moved & New Auto Bell Feature
The configuration file has been moved with version 1.2.0 of the mod due to the number of issues reported with the mod failing to read/write to the AppData directory.
New configuration options for automatically ringing the bell to let animals inside and outside has been added.
Important Notes
Since this mod uses YYTK to change some of the game's code, it will only work on the Windows version of the game.
The mod will output some information to the YYTK console window. It will let you know if custom values are loaded from the configuration file. It will also let you know if any errors occur when attempting to load or save the configuration file. Lastly, any "effects" made by the mod will be logged, such as when heart points are boosted or prevented from being lost, including auto pet and feed.
Customization
The mod is customizable and allows you to configure each of the options above independently. By default, the mod:
Applies a 5x multiplier to all heart points added. That means all heart points will be multiplied by 5, and as a result petting an animal would grant 25 heart points instead of the usual 5.
Prevents heart points from being reduced.
Does NOT auto pet.
Does NOT auto feed.
Does NOT auto bell.
NOTE: The configuration file will NOTexist until the game (and mod) have been started at least once. Therefore, if you wish to configure the mod, start the game until the title screen loads, then EXIT the game, and lastly edit the configuration file.
In order to customize the file, you must modify the properties in its configuration file. This file is located in the mod_data folder inside the Fields of Mistria folder where the game is. Below is a directory tree view of where the configuration file exists beginning with the folder that the game is in:
NOTE: The full "path" to the file will vary depending on where the game is installed. For example, with the game installed via Steam on the C drive the full path for the configuration file would be:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fields of Mistria\mod_data\AnimalFriends\AnimalFriends.json
The configuration file by default will look like the following:
The auto_bell, auto_feed,and auto_pet values can be set to true or false to enable or disable those options.
The animal_bed_time value adjusts when animals are sent indoors. The value is a time of day in SECONDS. It must be a whole number between 21600 (6:00 AM) and 86400 (midnight).
The friendship_multiplier value adjusts how many heart points you get for interacting with animals. It must be a whole number between 1 and 100 (inclusive).
The prevent_friendship_loss value can be set to true or false to enable or disable this option.
Below is a screenshot of the configuration file opened in Notepad with modified values for reference.
Note: Some newer configuration values may be missing from the screenshot below.
Back up your save game before trying this mod for the first time!
Create a folder named mods where the game (FieldsOfMistria.exe) is located. If you're using Steam, you can easily locate that by right-clicking the game in your Library and going to Installed Files > Browse in the modal window. The game's directory path will look similar to what's below: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fields of Mistria
Download the AnimalFriends.zip file and save it inside the mods folder you created.
Extract the zip file in this directory. There should now be a folder called AnimalFriends inside the mods folder.
Delete (or move) the original zip file. Leave the unzipped folder alone.
Run MOMI and install the mod!
