Well I like the mod and it does everything as advertised. I am excited and would really like to see this continued. So you asked for ideas here are some big ones.
I like the idea that you develop your pet over time (currently where time is the accumulation of gold). At higher levels the cost is pretty low and this results in higher level character buying a pet and insta-growing them. Is there some way to make a pet grow over a difference in time based on the game date of purchase and the current game date. Perhaps growing once per year?
Next idea, commands like follow, wait, etc... are necessary to control a pet why not also make them skills and abilities instead of your pet can already do these things. Currently horse commands revamped does much the same thing with horses. In that you have to learn the commands before you can use them.
Third idea, is there a way to have mini quests that teach the skills and abilities as an alternative to just buying a skill or an ability? Such as a quest to find a potion, pick, etc... where the pet sniffs at the items in question at some location until the pet finds the correct item. To keep mod development time to a minimum placing the "quest item" into an existing dungeon, fort , cave etc... with a quest that directs you to the location to find the item. Once the pet sniffs (finds) the correct item the ability is gained. OR
Herbalism is a mod that introduces a new skill to players that goes up over time with usage of finding flora. Something similiar could be used to increase pet skills over time tooas they finf potions, flora, picks, etc....
Well as I said I really like the mod so I hope the immersion ideas help you one way or another.

*Insert question from that pets thread here.*

Nifty. Is a new version planned soon?

That would be very welcome, every time I stop briefly when walking or running my pet will stop and not follow when it gets to where I paused.

Just an idea, but possibly when petting is released you could add a feature to it that forces third-person view and then it would play the guard's body checking animation. This would look enough like petting an animal!

Also, add cats, dogs, wolves etc. I don't mind the others but it's a bit... odd.

Have to say I love this mod, I sort of lost track of it, but I reinstalled it and man, great mod!!!
Hopefully not dead, because some upgrades would be nice: those new pets, new abilities...
So if this is still being worked on, at what stage would it be at the moment?

I am sorry it took so long for v1 to go into actual development, been pre-occupied with other projects.

I'm that sure that you say the same in your other threads :shifty:

I know AFK Weye extensively edits the Weye area, does this work poorly with AFK Weye or is there a "Movement" patch out there like what was released for RTT?

2) License Menu: The pet menu is attached to the pet license and opens whenever you "equip" the item from the inventory. Far easier to issue commands but is not very immersive.

Actually, it can be! Binding the license to a hotkey and using it without 'touching' the pet simulates giving the pet voice commands.
