Big Thanks :)

So far I got to the second half of act 1. Just defeated Grell today with my destroyer :)

Well can't remember what pet transformation items cause the problems. But for example some default pets in character select screen have a special behaviour compared to others. When you transform them they still acting like that in adition to the behaviour of the new form. Also for example if you use a transformation that has heal for example, when it transform back to your default pet it still has the heal. Some of the permanent ones are not really permanent ( not idea what caused this) and the pet goes back to normal after some time.

I'll try to check my t2 essentials' files back home and see what causes the conflict. Could you tell me what kind of bug it does or is it just missing pets?

Only problem I encounter seems to be weird/wrong behaviour of some pets but that is Essentials's fault only since I tested it a few times with only essentials running. There appear to be some conflicts between them like another guy reported on essentials's steam page.

Ha ha good to know and thanks for testing this with those mods!

I tried adding enchants to a collar and it seems just fine. So I guess the sockets work just fine, I do need to farm some chillhoof.

Power Leveling Essentials Compatible, Adventure Pack 2 Level Scale, Bosses Reset On Exit, Enchantable Pet Accessories, The Endless Dungeon, Torchlight 2 Essentials, Potions And Spell Vendors, TL1CP.

Will try and let you know how it goes along with full mod list and order.

I think it is safe.

This mod modifies the item base of the pet tags and collars. Logically, all pet tags and collars added into the game would still inherit this mod's changes. Let me know how it goes. Also, something to take notice, I think, only newly acquired items are affected by this mod.

I wanna ask something. Does the mod works fine with essentials ? I can see essentials add some unique pet items that already have sockets and not sure how that affects the game. I hope no conflicts.

Here are some frequently requested merge of my mods

Works. :P

Doudley, I need a mergemod, We need a mergemod, which incorporates most of your mods in one mod. That would free up a significant number of my ten slots.

Aside the point: Jesus, it's 2017. Why are we still limited to ten mod slots?

I've removed both Synergies (God bless Salan, the genius m'fer) mods, and now using Path of Torchlight because New. I consider about 6 or 7 of yours to be essential, too, which I wish were condensed into one.

If only there were a tool, where the end-user could make mergemods easily.

Like, for dummies easily.

From google translate:
"Allow enchant pet labels and collars? So that the pet accessories have a gemstone slot, the number of slots depends on its rarity. You can also convert 2 pet labels or 2 collars."

Yes, thank you for the comment. Although it is not possible to add gemstone slots, the gem slots are already given.

允许附魔宠物标签和项圈？ 使宠物配件有宝石插槽，插槽的数量取决于它的稀有性。还可以转换2个宠物标签或2个项圈。

This is definitely wonderful! I hope you can post this at Torchmodders or contact Chthon for an update. I'll be installing TL2TagFixer with your updated dictionary, thanks!

My latest https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5CtSgdIw83lQldYemJBaWFPd1k

Apparently directly adding to TAGS.DAT is not possible. But I generated new tags to dictionary file of TL2TagFixer [clockworkcore.org] by Chthon. All you need to do is decompress mod in GUTS and copy text from statusbox (of decompression window) to new text file. This file will tell to TL2TagFixer what to fix, in selected Media folder. There is also option to “Parse all the things” where you select raw mod and it gather tags. You can also provide missing tag by just using all edits options of GUTS in one mod… tedious, I know – I found around 150 unused tags in “Unites”, “Level Rule Sets” and “Recipes”. About bugged tags like in “Path_Of_Torchlight_(Maps).mod” you still need to manually open bugged files, in text editor, and reinterpret tags by their positon and by manipulating them in GUTS… Compression process interferes with tag hashes and I don’t know why, neither how, but these bugs are repeatable somehow.

Fixing the TAGS.DATS would be wonderful, although just giving you a heads up, this missing tags issue not only happens to recipes. Most class mods have this issue too on their units' tags and I recently found out that affixes' effects can have missing tags too.

Thanks for original files, with them I have found what is wrong. So it seems that 1324415609 = MAKEMAGIC = setting "Force Magical" in RecipeEditor. In "Hash Calculator", included with "TL2 Tag Fixer", it seems like this calculated tag is correct. So then I had opened TAGS.DAT in Notepad++ and suprise-suprise, string for MAKEMAGIC is missing.. TAGS.DAT (at least one from STEAM) is outdated... I think that I'm gonna just manually update it and put it somewhere...

Thank you for notifying me with this issue.

From now on, anyone can download the unpacked mod files, so that this issue can be avoided.

Hi, I'm trying to add this mod to mini-modpack and I'm having troubles with some tags. Can you provide some help? There [drive.google.com] is log/status file of unpacking in GUTS.

You're welcome and thank you for the comment.

But yeah, I don't know why the game does not allow adding sockets to pet tags/collars either. Although if I let these items to be able to be, the game will not show the desired result. So to avoid confusion, I made the pet tags/collars' socket(s) maxed to their default/given number of sockets.

No clue why the game won't allow us to add sockets to pet tags/collars but Im totally in love with these all the same. Thanks a mil.

Published v.1

Added recipes for a random magical pet tag and a random magical collar

Thanks to Kheldarn for the idea

Hey Phanjam! Yes, a gamer named CycloneXL requested this mod to me, it is his idea and not mine that's why it is appropriate to give some type of credit. I also will fulfill Kheldarn's idea to let pet tags and collar be able to recycled into the same equipment type.

@Aherin love ur idea to make new socketables beneficial to pets!
are u planning to make those "pet only" gems?

you are really amazing doudley, thanks for this!
i notice u named it "cyclonexl's" - u guys are working on this together?
subscribed!

@Kheldarn
Yes it is possible. I'll see if I can add that idea to this mod. Thanks!

Wow. That's a nice idea!

Is it possible to make the Transmuter work on Pet Tags and Collars? You give him, say, a random Pet Tag or Collar, and a random Fish, and he gives you a random Tag or Collar in return? Like the 2 Set Pieces > 1 Set Piece recipe?

So I think I'll stick to making some unique collars instead. I can't seem to find a way to make the socketables pet only. Thanks for the idea tho man :)

Cheers doudley :)

@Aherin
Because of adding sockets is broken for these items, I decided to make all normal pet tags and collars to have 1 socket and maxed at 1, for magical: 1-2 sockets maxed at 1-2, for unique: 2-3 sockets and maxed at 2-3. Whereas, the one with the larger quantity is for the collar. So yes, they always roll with slot(s). And new socketables sound great!

@*Yuki*
Of the game. When I try to add sockets on pet tags or collar, nothing happens.

@steffire3
I was surprised to find out that this is not possible for the pet's gears that's why I'm eager to make this mod as soon as possible.

@ doudley (author): Thanks for creating mods that fulfill the needs of the Torchlight Community!

This is one feature I have always wanted early in my beginnings with this game.

always though, that it were in vanilla ._.

Is "adding sockets are not allowed" restriction of game, or your personal choice?

Great stuff man :) hey do they always roll with slots? I was thinking of making some socketables for LAO III that boost pet hp/damage so they're not so squishy vs high level monsters

You're welcome guys.

WOW! I like this mod! Thanks for creating it!

Lol it even has my name on that pic.I feel honored. Thanks again sir.
