Allow me to introduce you to your sister/girlfriend/significant other. Her name is Charlotte, and you may not know it yet, but she is one of the most loyal companions you could ever have. Why "Charlotte"? - because the default character texture is char.png, and "char" + "lotte" is a girl's name. And there you have it. But of course, there's one big question: What does she do?
Charlotte is a human companion that spawns almost immediately upon entering a world. She can be in a new world, or an existing world. You can only find one of her at once, and she will spawn right next to you. After that, you become her companion, and she will follow you around wherever you go. If you get too far ahead, she'll call out for you to "wait up", possibly requiring you to get her out of a jam, or even just because she got distracted. No matter where you're going, however, Charlotte will be a big help along the way.
Charlotte can pick up items like the player, and can even hold full stacks of items. If you give her a sword, her attack gets stronger, and if you give her an item of food, she'll eat it if she's low enough on HP. If you want to take back something you've given her or something that she picked up by herself, just right-click her. You can get her to collect extra blocks for you if your inventory is full, but it's better to let her hold a sword just because she is so well adapted to fighting. [hint]
Unlike the rest of the game's mobs, Charlotte's attack range is just about as large as the player, meaning she can hit enemies up to 3.5 blocks away, with a bit of a random margin. She isn't flawless however, and still gets hit every so often. She also steps back a tiny bit after each strike, mimicing the dodging skills of an advanced player. You'll often find her finishing your fights for you without much effort, and she is glad to help. She even yells out a warning if she detects a hostile mob in the area, so you can always be prepared for a fight.
After the fighting's done though, Charlotte might need a bit of medical attention. That's where the magic hands come into play. To heal Charlotte, just left-click her with any item you have. She will heal 1 half-heart at a time up to the maximum 20, and flash green to show that she is healing. And guess what? Charlotte heals you too. She will automatically run over to you if you are hurt and start to heal your hearts as well, all the way up to the max. As long as you two can hold out in fights, the only thing you need to survive is each other.
However, as you can gather, Charlotte still needs your help to survive in a world full of monsters. If she dies, you'll know it. And once she does, she never comes back. It's as simple as that. You only get one Charlotte, so if you start to take a liking to her, you had better be careful. Even more upsetting is that when you die, she won't recognise you if you respawn. She'll just wander around and cry, not realizing that the zombie in front of her was once her trusted companion. You can fight her if you want, but be careful because her fighting skills are top-notch no matter what mood she is in.
Oh, and I forgot to mention that she can also ride in a vehicle alongside you. She will get into the vehicle if you sit in another vehicle of the exact same type. She has a bit of trouble steering boats, but not too much. To make her exit a vehicle, just right-click her. She will mount anything that the player is riding, as long as it is the exact same, Though this will cause problems with mounts that are only designed for players (Mo' Creatures Horses).
Version 2 Changes:
Piggyback Riding! One of the biggest problems of the past was charlotte's crashing while she rides horses and walking wherever she wanted when in atack mode. Now, you can keep better control over her by carrying her on your shoulders. Simply right-click her when she has nothing in her inventory and she will happily sit on your shoulders flailing around her arms in excitement. Using this method, she can ride on your shoulders while you ride another vehicle, you just have to right-click her after you mount it. The downside is that you won't be able to hit anything besides charlotte while she's on your shoulders, since her legs get in the way (though you might be able to hit an enemy or two if you try a lot).
Also, while Charlotte can be told to avoid getting targets if she is holding an item of food, she can now be told to stand completely still if she holds a flower. She will stand still unless something targets her, in which case she will defend herself. Since you can't give her both a flower and food at the same time, Charlotte can't simply be turned into a brain-dead statue, not like you would ever want her to be like that... I hope.
And as for _303's changes, the spawning code was completely reworked. you can also MAKE HER RECOGNIZE YOU AFTER SHE DIES by right-clicking her with a stack of 15 flowers! Yay! And lastly, wolves will not maul Charlotte if you click her with the healing hands.

Summary of Abilities:
Follows the player everywhere
Will attack enemies that target her or the player
Can pick up and use items or stacks of items
Heals the player at close range
Can be healed by the player
Warns about incoming enemies
Enhanced fighting skills and range
Can ride in vehicles alongside the player
Lots of different vocal event cues
Charlotte can now ride on the player's shoulders
Also will dismount the player if damage is taken from a null source (ceilings, etc)
Charlotte will stand still if she holds a flower
Bugs involving tight passages and doorways have probably been fixed
Charlotte follows the player much more closely now
Pathfinding has been greatly improved
Riding bugged mounts is possible if Charlotte rides on your shoulders
Duping glitches have probably been fixed
Duped Charlottes do not attack each other anymore (but are less likely to happen anyway)
A post-player-death Charlotte can be reclaimed by right-clicking her with a stack of 15 flowers
Issues/Missing Features:
Charlotte has a tendency to sometimes attack creatures or other companions that interact with the player in harmless ways. Most of these problems have been solved to date, however.
Instructions:
* You must first install Risugami's Mod Loader and Audio Mod, before this mod will work.
* If you are using a Mac computer, search for a special Mac installation tutorial if you have problems installing the mod.
* The instuctions for installing the mod are within the download zip.
* If Charlotte dies, or you die, and you really, really want her back, go into your world save folder and delete the "charlotte" file. This will allow an additional Charlotte to spawn.
Finally, Single Player Survival doesn't have to be so "single-player-ish" anymore.
Wow...very nice concept! :happy.gif: I particularly like the idea of her not being able to recognise you if you die and respawn...it's quite touching and sad.
I'll definitely be giving this a try later.
Edit: Question - what happens to her inventory if she dies? Will all of the items just spill out on the ground?
This was made out of pure epicness.
Here's an idea:
She should be able to craft buildings by giving her blueprints of them. You throw her a piece of paper, and the center of the building (not exact center, still on the ground) will be where she is standing. When done, you must throw her another piece of paper to let her build the same building (unless you made a new blueprint).
As for making a blueprint, I've seen people making a text file that you can edit to your own will, the pet mod for example.
Any way to disable the healing hands? I like the look of the mod, but the unrealisticness of the healing hands kinda throws me off and honestly make it feel like the game's a lot easier just having a little medic beside you.
It seems to work well... I have various other npc mods on and she doesn't mess any of them up. It is on peaceful right now though so I am unsure if she will attack other humans or if they will attack her.

Have you tried playing this with the mo creatures and spider families? Maybe that will change your perspective on things, I haven't tried this mod outyet but surely she can't make this game that easy when you have other mods installed
Well I noticed 2 small annoyances while using the mod. First she pushes you a bit when trying to mine or chop trees. Second... she keeps falling down holes and dying. Neither of these are really to bad but I would prefer my companion to not be pushy and suicidal.
Got this after i mounted on my pegasus, and then she tried to mount in the black pegasus

Edit: It looks that she can't follow you when you open a door
Another Edit:
Got the same problem after she was trying to get inside the hoverboat
This is a really fun mod. Thanks for making it. I had a couple issues i should report. She has a problem with doors sometimes. I had a hard time getting her to follow me through doors on my base. Also when i gave her stuff, i couldn't right click it to get it back. However if i dropped items and she picked it up, i had no problem right clicking her to get the item back. She is pretty cool though. Thanks.

Another Edit:
Got the same problem after she was trying to get inside the hoverboat
but i dont like the idea that when she dies she disspaears, or it doesnt recognize you
what about if she dies 5 times she does not recognizes you? it would be better
Beautiful Beautiful Mod
ai seems extremely well done
her calling you when she gets stuck or too distant is just brilliant
love how she scouts perimeter a little
doesnt seem to pick up dropped weapons- just block
equipping her might be a touch tricky for some- you have to drop it right on her
so you cant access her inventory?
it seems it just pulls every thing she is carrying- an actually inventory screen for her would be a plus- so she can be your pack mule too!
::grin::
havent tried her on ladders yet- hills you have to do a shallow slope for easy navigation
you are an evil evil man sir!
making her ignore you after death
and never respawn is just sheer utter cruelty and torture
I am picturing all the 12 y.o. girls and boys getting heartbroken and spamming your thread
LOve it!
::puts up anti sh*t umbrella::
definitly need a ken version for the little ladies
and you DO know you are going to have to do a companion animal now, don't you???
just no way to avoid it now
awesome mod!
edit- I request a way to un-tether her if needed- a way to pin her to the home
maybe tie her to the stove(furnace)?
grin
teasing- though would be good idea- especially if you could have her load furnace and maybe place in chest too?
let her do all the tedious cooking while you are at home
lol- then you could rename it the sexist mod!
