I hope you meant the accessibility of skills because I made them be unlocked the same way they are unlocked by your main character. If your character has unlocked spider mines, your brother-in-arms companion will have access to that skill too. You can reallocate their skill points as much as you want, there's no limit. I can't make it more convenient than that...you should set your mind in thinking that you have a second character in the game and not think of them as your usual pet, this will help you appreciate the intricacies I have done to this mod. I'm sorry you felt that the knocked-out penalty is a bit too much, like I said earlier, your BIA companion is your second character, you need to take care of them properly. And about the "bug", can you send me a screenshot?

很好的雇佣兵mod精英模式太脆弱容易死亡 击倒等待30S太久了 技能提前解锁限制有些破坏平衡希望能更改一下

Thanks for using my mods. Sorry I couldn't be of help.

I tried messing up with load order but didn't really seem to help, also installed warbonds and same issue. But no worries, i just ended up maxing out skills i use to not feel as cheaty :p
Anyway i love the mod and thank you for your hard work ^_^

@Azelix IIRC, I don't think your can directly affect your BIA's summons, it has its own stats and buffs to affect its own summons.

@Skillo Unfortunately I cannot troubleshoot this for you but I'm sure the issue has nothing to do with the embermage's skill because it is the same codes/scripts with your character's skill....maybe it has something to do with your mod load order?

My pet's skills (embermage in this case) seem to be maxed out by putting a single point into them, it also includes all three tiers from level 5 10 and 15. I'm sure of it since pillars are being casted as if it has the bonus amount and buffs offer the extra effects aswell. Any idea of why this is happening?

Hi! I have a fashion question: can a "brother-in-Arms" be a full-fledged summoner? for example: to receive a bonus to pet damage from things put on it? if he can't, then will his pets get the above bonus to damage from the things I'm wearing? P.S: The mod is amazing! It's a pity that I missed it when I was looking for a good pet-enhancing mod.

@Wood Of course you have my permission! Feel free to publish it, just credit my mod for the inspiration. Thanks

i have combine ur BIA & BIA:WB and TL1CP class as a modpack and add tl1cp three class as startpet BIA to replace musha , just for my personal play, can i have ur permission to upload it in steam ?

Thank you so much! This enhanced the experience a lot

It cannot be done with your main pet alone. Due to game's hardcoded character indexing, entry 0 is always your player then entry 1 is always your main pet. Succeeding indexes are alotted for your summons and enemies/monsters (whoever gets read first by the game). To make more pet, the only way is by summonning permanent pet/s but you have to make the game target or recognize their specific character index. So that its pet hud and inventory menu will be allowed to coexist with your main pet's hud and inventory. My BiA Warbounds mod, is the example of this. Working around with character indexing but I chose not to add third and fourth party member due to integrating UI in the game gets buggy and affects the game cache that is not meant to cater additional customizable and equippable pet.

Well, I meant like so you could have your own full party.

What do you mean and how would that be implemented?

If you meant online party/multiplay, then I cannot really tell ypu for sure, I think it is plausible but I may not be a smooth experience. You need to try this yourself and if it is workable please let me know.

Is there a way to enable multiple pets with this for a whole party?

i'll try later

No it is not incompatible because my mod is a pet mod while additional classes is a class mod.

But, sometimes my mod can cause a crash if a class mod have modified certain stat data. It will be tricky because Additional Classes have not been updated to the latest Synergies' classes.

OPTION 1: Mod load order should be like this :
UI+ESOBC << Top
Brother-in-Arms
Brother-in-Arms: Warbounds
Addon TO Additional Classes
SynergiesMOD
Additional Classes << Bottom

OPTION 2: If the game crashes, try this load order:
UI+ESOBC << Top
Addon TO Additional Classes
Brother-in-Arms
Brother-in-Arms: Warbounds
SynergiesMOD
Additional Classes << Bottom

OPTION 3: If no Synergies mod:
UI+ESOBC << Top
Addon TO Additional Classes
Additional Classes
Brother-in-Arms
Brother-in-Arms: Warbounds
TL2 Essentials << Bottom

Note: Level Map, Dungeon, and Item mods can be put anywhere

is your mod incompatible with additional classes?

Yes it is possible but I didn't design this mod for Synergies' difficulty. It is all up to what equipment you assign with your human companion, to be able to survive in there.

So it works with Synergies?

Thanks! Have you tried using this mod with "BiA: Warbounds" mod?

With my two Brother-in-Arms mod, you will get up to 4 human companion. Although only 2 companion can be customized.

Damn I love this mod... I only wish I could have more pet's so I could have a complete 4 player crew!

You can transmute potions.

Katana/Enhance Katana don't have skills but have great stats.

Mushato types Katana/Nodachi have skills and gem slots.

Sorry for giving your hopes up with Musha companion, I won't be able to finish these companions to their full skill tree. Making skills are the most difficult part in TL2 modding based on my experience.

So crafting katana’s. Is this more for endgame cause the grand potion dosent show up for a long time. Then, which skill goes with katana? They are just numbered not named.

Is anyone using the mushu stuff? Sounds confusing. But cool.

So with the mushu companions, its about the weapons. This sounds interesting. The crafting for these weapons are included with this mod? So i can do this right off the bat?

Great mod, just needs to have item comparison for both pet and player instead of just pet

Let's clear it up, your issue is for warbounds' human companion and not for main human companion/brother-in-arms, is this correct?

I already given you suggestions on how to deal with your problem with my mod, please check this link http://steamoss.com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/836884927/142261027571707322/?ctp=3#c1699415798766289537

a screen capture might help and please provide the type of brotherin-arms/human companion you are using

No good, regardless of load-order, while the mod works fine, Armor and the like NEVER shows up, regardless of what slots are used. Bummer!

I'm gonna give this load order a shot, but it's likely I'll still encounter the 'unable to see armor' bug on my companions for Warbound. I'll let you know, and I'll flash you a mod list if you think you can help.

And thanks for using my mod(s). I have a feeling that your problems can be easily fixed if you arrange the order of your mods properly. Specially placing my this mod and BiA Warbounds in a higher position.

Quick tip:
~Top of list~
UI and Map mods
Class Mods (e.g Variant Classes, FEP+, TL1CP, etc...)
Pet Mods (e.g. BiA, Xev's Pets, Phan's Big Pets, etc...)
BiA: Warbounds
Full Conversion mods (e.g. T2 Essentials, Synergies, etc...)
~Bottom of list~

I'm sorry to hear that but this mod have been fully tested and every issue were already been discussed and pointed out.

If there's an issue occurring, please check back to these 3:

NUMBER 1: This mod will bind your saved game, unless you use Mod Unbinder with my mod or before you remove my mod.

NUMBER 2: Equipment Comparison will not function properly anymore, best to disable it.

NUMBER 3: Some of the major mods out there are incompatible with mine because of the modification done with the Pet Inventory but you can always try putting my mod above theirs in the game launcher's mod order.

Aside from those three, you may have been using one of these http://steamoss.com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/150937197/133257324794144574/

and as they are captured from the NPC models, they do not have the visual/cosmetic appearance that you usually get from armors.

yeah items are gone from my "brother" and armors are buged dont see the value of them after placing an items just dmg works

Hmm, this and Warbound seem to be broken in terms of 'cosmetics' and items appearing on them. Any idea why? Doesn't seem to matter what load order I use.

I think adding slots and enhancements are safe to do with these shields.

I'm not aware that the unbreakable state gets removed if it got upgraded...

Kinda newbish about Torchlight, is there a way to upgrade/roll the item while keeping it's unbreakable state?

I can't do anything about it. Your human allies are now considered as monster types and like your enemies, their equipped shield has a break point on which with enough force absorbed will deplete its durability/health points. If you really like to focus your ally into a shield wielder, I suggest you only let them use the (unbreakable) shield provided at Sia's store.

So... my Allies shield keeps shattering pretty quickly in combat. Is there a way to disable that for my 'brothers'?

Yeah, this type of cases are a nuisance but the only way to make your warbound be in the playstyle you want is by trial and error, mix and match those skill-tags until you're contented. And if your combination got tiring, then you try to mix and match again...

There will not be a detailed guide regarding this coming from me because I have not fully played these mods in the extent of testing every skill available of every class, especially to know which combination of skills are better than the rest.

The reason why your berserker warbound is spamming the healing dash skill is because he does not have any other way of attacking. And btw, on higher levels, your warbound's mana consumption won't be noticeable by then.

Btw is there a guide or something about the warbound ally and normal character pet ? I see my pet berserker kept spaming his dash healing skill every time he had mana and that the warhound ally has cooldown on the skills.

With those combination, you may experience some UI bugs where the tooltip may appear below user interfaces.The issue about warbound and pet inventory was explained here http://steamoss.com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/836884927/142261027571707322/#c142261352647800339

Ah my bad about Brink. I was expecting the characters other then the 4 vanilla ones to always show same weapon ragardless of the weapons that are equiped.

One last question btw. Using both of your bia mods togheter with essentials and arcana should work without problems right ? I'm having them in this order 1.Bia 2.Bia WB 3.Essentials 4.Arcana

Hey there's a bug with some of the warbound characters like Brink for example. It shows nothing in both his hand, also the the pet/warbound image gets messed up and they look like they are stuck togheter the first time you open their panel. That solves after you close and reopen them using the keyboard buttons.

That was a mod conflict issue. I hope you have figured out what causing that. IIRC, using both of my BiA mods alone does not create that bug.

Hi, I have BiA as the first/top mod, 2nd is BiA:Warbounds then followed by a modpack "Torchlight II All in one vanilla extender" and the rest are just cosmetics mods such as Block Indicator & some custom NPC seller mods.

Can you tell me your mod load order? This had been reported before, and if I remember correctly, it was solved by reordering the mod load order, making my BiA mods on high priority.

The engineer's healing bot skills isn't level up properly. Once the skill is activated, it will cast Tier 3 healing bot; means: that the bot would have all the properties & advantage from Tier 3 even though it was just got activated.

thanks for your quick response, I found the problem, your mod is conflicting with Darkthan classes 1
