BETA Configurable plugin to change number of vanilla followers based on Charisma. Incompatible with "Unlimited Follower" mods! This is doing the same thing, differently.

The default values will give you 1 companion per point of Charisma.


If you character has Charisma less than or equal to [PartyMin], only 1 follower is allowed. If Charisma is greater than [PartyMin], character can have 1 follower per [PartyMult] Charisma points, up to [PartyMax] maximum.

There are 3 variables you can set from the console in-game to adjust this:

• PartyMin [default 0] Minimum CHA score; CHA less than this you get 1 follower.
  
• PartyMult [default 1] Number of CHA need per companion. Can be fractions. Example, if set to [.5], 2 companions per CHA.
  
• PartyMax [default 10] This is the ultimate max override. If your CHA and Mult get you more slots than this, you will still max at this number of slots.

The calculation is ((Charisma / PartyMult)-PartyMin), up to PartyMax.


EXAMPLE:
You want one companion, plus 1 for every CHA over 5.

• Set PartyMin to 5
  
• Set PartyMult to 1
  
• Set PartyMax to desired max.

EXAMPLE:
You want one every 2 CHA, but a minimum of 2 companions.

• Set PartyMin to -1
  
• Set PartyMult to 2
  
• Set PartyMax to desired max.

I can't help but think that the FO2 method of 1 follower per 2 cha was the best, but, with the followers from FO3 and NV being so powerful, maybe 1 per 3 might be the most balanced.

finally! thanks pintocat :goodjob:

Just a little headsup. I was using another followers mod that allowed you to get 2 followers/point of CHR (called CFollowers). I talked to Arcade Gannon while still using this old mod and he refused to join because I already had Cass, Boone and ED-E and only 6 CHR. Then I saw your mod opted to use yours since it seemed more flexible. So I removed the old one activated yours and talked to Arcade but he still refused. I had to fire Boone, hire Arcade then run after Boone and rehire him. I'll experiment a bit more to see if I can repeat this issue.

There's a script that runs once on activation that will go through each vanilla companion's Hired status and reset the count if necessary. Should take care of that. Give it about 5-10 seconds in gamemode then a few seconds in menumode (dialog). I tested pretty extensively with transitioning from Unlimited Companions, but I didn't try that one.

I would recommend a clean save though; deactivate any other companion limit mod, save, exit, then activate this.

If nothing else, firing everyone and re-hiring should reset it all.

perfect. now i dont have to feel like im cheating.
