About this mod
This is a character mod for McGruff the Crime Dog, it also includes three events specific to this version of his character, compatible with version 1.0.
UPDATE NOTE: The way character specifc custom events work was changed in 0.9.92c they can't be optional anymore, see the notes section below for details.

Version 1.2 Update: I've added an alternate optional version of McGruff called Punished McGruff. Punished McGruff uses the same art assets apart from very minor changes, he has altered stats and different starting items, this is mostly to provide a version of McGruff that is usable on Harbringer Of Doom difficulty. Punished McGruff also has one extra personal event. To reduce unnecessary file duplication all of Punished McGruff's assets other than his .ito file are contained within the new version of the main mod's asset folders, so the optional download for Punished McGruff only contains his .ito file.
Character Description:
Despite his years successfully starring in campaigns to engage the public in crime prevention, McGruff had to flee the US after the discovery of his extensive
stash of illegal firearms. Looking to rebuild his reputation somewhere new McGruff has wound up in Shiokawa. Having only recently arrived his Japanese and
local knowledge are very poor.
McGruff starts with his favoured handgun (Police Revolver) and a local phrasebook (Curious Statuette). He begins with only 3 knowledge (2 base + 1 statuette) so be careful not to incur too many head injuries or McGruff willforget what little Japanese he knows and the world will immediately end.
Credits:
Thanks to redharleth for doing most of McGruff's character art.
Notes:
Version 0.9.92c does support modded character specific events but because of how they're implemented if the modded events aren't installed with the character then the character won't work properly. This doesn't matter much as you can leave the character specific events active all the time since they will no longer appear when playing as other characters. Character specific events are now installed slightly differently than before, instead of placing their .ito and art folders directly into the custom folder they now both need to be in a subfolder which is placed into the custom folder, this does mean the events no longer appear on the MODS tab that's in the WoH main menu, so its harder to check if they've been installed correctly.
Because of these changes I'm putting both the character files and the event file (which contains all three events) into a single zip file and including a .txt file with a summary of the installation instructions. I'm also leaving up the old files in case people still want to play as McGruff without his custom events or the custom events without using McGruff.
