Spawns a servo friend that follows you around.

Load Order

  • Darktide Local Server ( Only needed for AI Generated Voice Plugin )
  • Audio Plugin ( Only needed for AI Generated Voice Plugin )
  • [...]
  • Servo Friend

Features

Flashlight

The servo friend is equipped with a flashlight.

Tagged Enemies / Items / World Markers

The servo friend can focus tagged enemies, items and markers on the floor.

Locked Aiming

The servo friend stays close to you when you need it the most.

Blocking and Venting

When you're feeling vulnerable you surely want someone to shine a light on you, ... right?

Voice

The servo friend can talk. What does he have to say? Nothing useful probably!





New in 2.0:

Roaming Area

When activated the roaming area is a spherical space around your character where the servo friend is allowed to move.

Roaming Mode

The servo friend is not hovering above you anymore, but moves around a bit more freely. Still entirely driven by player input though.

Flashlight Color

You can change the color / intensity of the flashlight.

Flashlight Type

You can choose between a large angle flashlight with lower range or a smaller angle flashlight with bigger range.






New in 2.1:

Custom AI Generated Voice

I created a collection of ai generated voice line fragments that are combined ( for variety ) for when the friend talks.
Separated into categories tagged enemy, tagged item, marker and when an operation has ended.
Needs DarktideLocalServer and Audio Plugin Mod.








New in 2.2:

Avoid Daemonhost Mechanic

Servo friend will avoid shining light on daemonhosts and comments on it.



Avoid Walls Mechanic

Servo friend will avoid going into walls / trough enemies.








New in 2.3:

Inspect Feature

The servo friend will also inspect you weapon when you do.
