Pet Manager Convert
Add your pets to a party and manage them more easily with this mod. No more do you have to worry about every pet belonging to your tribe crowding around you if you accidentally hit the All Follow button. Keep track of your pets health and debuffs during combat. Finally locate your lost pets more easily and rescue them if they are trapped under ground.

FEATURES:

Replaces the "Whistle Selection" radial menu with a new Pet Manager. (Default key is Apostrophe)
HUD displays pets in your party with
Health Bar
Weight indicator
Food Indicator
Torpor Indicator
Buff/debuff icons
Issue orders to all of party or individual pet
Change the name of pet
Ride pet in range without having to target them (Great for Pterandons)
Locate direction of a pet
Pull pets to safety when stuck under the ground
Configure the mod directly from the Pet Manager UI
Call up the Pet Manager UI by pressing the whistle menu key
Create multiple parties of pets for different situations with a unique name for each party.
Completely new actions available to bind to unique keys via the "Key Bindings..." button in the Pet Manager dialog.
Bind these new actions for the Dino Party:
Follow Me
Stay Put
Attack My Target
Neutral
Passive
Attack This Target
Set Follow Distance (Choose distance by pressing 1 - 5 after pressing bound key)
The following actions will display the target shortcut menu and send the command to the target type chosen:
Follow Me
Stay Put
Attack My Target
Neutral
Passive
Bind a key to display the distance select menu for a single target.
Press button or key to collect eggs or poop close to the player.

# Note: Pet Manager no longer overrides any built in actions other than the "Whistle Selection" radial menu which is use to display the UI. When binding one of the new actions to a key it will NOT clear a duplicate key bound to the standard actions. To clear a built in action the easiest way is to set it to a key you use for something else and then set that action back to its original key.

Configure the maximum range that you can send orders to dinos
Configure weight icon to show always, when above 50%, overweight (75%), encumbered (85%) or never
Configure food icon to show always, when below 50%, below 25% or never
Configure hud to be visible or not
Configure agression icon, torpor or buff to be hidden
Torpor icons only shows when torpor is above zero
Option to have party commands go to all dinos nearby if party is empty

# Note: Currently dinos can be added to more than one persons party at a time. This is by design as there are challenges to allowing the mod to remember your party from one session to another without blocking tribe members from using pets when you log out.


# KNOWN ISSUE: Settings including pet parties are not saved between sessions when the game is not played on a dedicated server.
