FOB - Companion Helper  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Version: 2.12.1
by: FlatBadger [More]
FOB is a companion mod to prevent accidental companion interaction.

Ever clicked to loot something only to find your companion conversation starting because they have leapt in front of you to grab all your attention? Annoying isn't it? (Well, I find it annoying).
  • Prevents any companion interactions from happening
  • Toggle the original functionality or toggle your companion using keybindings
  • Ignore flying insects when Mirri is out, or only allow ones that don't decrease rapport
  • Prevent criminal interactions when Bastian or Isobel is out
  • When you move the reticle over a companion, nothing will happen. Click the action button over a companion, nothing will happen. Bliss.
  • Stop losing Rapport with Bastian when you craft something with cheese in it. FOB will warn you and cancel the crafting of that item. Works with DailyProvisioning too.
  • Alternate summoning message frame
  • Prevent entry to Outlaw's Refuges when Isobel is out
  • Prevent fishing when Ember is out
  • Prevent mushroom gather or recipes with coffee for Azander
  • Block outfit stations and warn of low gear durability for Sharp as Night
Now, if I could only get them to shut up too...

Compatible with DailyProvisioning and RuEso (as of V2.3.0)

Slash Commands
/fob - open FOB's settings page

I'm afraid it may conflict with other mods that touch the codes for Blade of Woe, but would it be possible to add an option to block Blade of Woe and Vampire Feed when Mirri is out? Forgot she was out today and lost 25 rapport for using the Blade of Woe. If i remember correctly, vampire Feed upsets her as well.
Just a request. I may not even be able to use it with the other mods I use for Blade of Woe/Vampire Feed stuff.

We have a 'toggle' button for summon/unsummon companions, but can we also have a 'switch' button? One is a healer and the other is a tank. With the upcoming expansions, we get more companions. So, the 'switch' button should rotate around them. More like a 'next companion' button.

I'm guessing there will be one or more options missing for you.

Alternatively, I've just uploaded an up-to-date image of the settings in the addon homepage - yours should be identical to this (except the actual options may not be of course)
My settings screen has always looked like the one you posted. And today, so far, I've also been unable to reproduce the chat message. If it happens again, I'll try to do some troubleshooting myself to see what causes it. Sorry for the false alarm!

I still can't reproduce this, even with Mirri out.

Does this still happen if FOB is the ONLY addon enabled? What language client are you using?

I don't the game allows auto pressing the E key. Plus I think there's too much scope there to unsummon the companion when you really don't wan to.

There's already a keybind in FOB for toggling the companion, but I could certainly look at an option for auto re-summoning too - there is a 15s cooldown on summoning though.

But after the latest update of the companion helper the blocked scrying is back.

Meanwhile, I learned how primitive the programming model for the Addons is (way too many global variables), so I am starting to understand why it is a PITA to get it right.

I have been looking for some non addon-specifc forms of logging/monitoring addons, but there seems to be none built in. Who in their right mind implements such a pitiful system?!

Tell me about it

merTorchbug is a good tool for exploring globals and many other things in the game. I'd like to get to the bottom of this is possible. I'm still convinced it's another addon, perhaps altering the action text or something like that. FOB relies on monitoring the reticule and examining what interactions it's creating.

Strange thing is though, that last update effectively switches FOB off when you're scrying.

I know I can get a button like that by "Greymind Quick Slot Bar", but I rather have near the Companion Info.
I'll look into putting this into the next release.

It might be related Sheath Weapon. At least my first checks seem to indicate that. When Sheath Weapon is off and the helper is on it seems to work again.
Sheath Weapon will stay off as it also causes some other weirdness.
