Are there any mods that have companions act as fodder for you?

Technically, every companion mod acts as fodder. Some are immortal, some are semi-immortal (mainly the NeerWinter adjacent companion mods [Such as the Lo Wang, Duke Nukem, Caleb, and even the Doomguy mods] wherein the companion themselves actually enter a knock-out state after taking heavy damage), and those that are actually mortal and can die. Q Q

You really dont have to look too much into it.

There is a simple error in the file. The screenshot you posted actually tells you what's wrong.

Remember, PK3 files are just zip files. So, you can just open it with the zip program of your choice (you may need to rename it from pk3 to zip to do this with some programs).

Open up the PK3.
Go into the ZScript folder inside the PK3.
Find Guncaster_Friend.zsc.
Open it in a text editor.
Scroll down to line 541.

Line 541 says:

Code: Select all

Species "GerdenbergMinion"

Change it to:

Code: Select all

Species "GerdenbergMinion";

(Note the additional ; at the end)

Save the zscript file and make sure the zip updates with your edited version.

That should be enough to get the file running.

There are still a few other minor warnings with the file if you switch on developer mode in the console:

Code: Select all

Invalid data encountered for texture Guncaster Reptile Companions.pk3:sprites/gerdenberg/weredragon
Invalid data encountered for texture Guncaster Reptile Companions.pk3:sprites/gerdenberg/werelizard
...
Script warning, "Guncaster Reptile Companions.pk3:decorate.other" line 670:
Unknown class name 'FriendWereLizardFlameBreath' of type 'Actor'
Script warning, "Guncaster Reptile Companions.pk3:decorate.other" line 779:
Unknown class name 'RocketExplosion' of type 'Actor'
Script warning, "Guncaster Reptile Companions.pk3:decorate.other" line 780:
Unknown class name 'FireProjectileExplodeLarge' of type 'Actor'

but they don't stop it running.
