Companion Spirits 1.16.1

WORKS IN DLC - 1.16.1

Ever wanted to have a companion in Elden Ring? Rather than having spirit summons that fade away after a fight, or being locked out if they die, you can now summon a companion spirit which will stick with you throughout the game. All spirit ashes are affected, including ones in the DLC.

The normal coloration of spirit ashes are removed, and they now have a small passive health regen.

I've released an alternate download with the original spirit effects and colorations.

CSV Files are a separate download for all your merging needs.

Install with Mod Engine 2 and follow along with this guide if you're new to using mods:

Go to the Mod Engine 2 page through the link provided above (right click the orange text, click "Open link in new tab")
Click Assets, then download the top .zip file
Extract the contents of the .zip into a folder
Download my mod, place the contents into Mod Engine 2's mod folder
Double click the launchmod_eldenring.bat file in Mod Engine 2 to launch Elden Ring with the mod
When you want to play Elden Ring normally or online, quit the game and launch through steam

Guide for merging using the CSV files provided in the download page:

Get the regulation.bin of the mod you'd like to merge mine with
Open it with Smithbox
At the top of the screen, go to the Param Editor tab
Search for the Parameters in my CSV file provided under optional files in the download page
Click on the first one, then click data at the top of the screen, then import CSV
Import CSV -> From File -> All Fields
Import the CSV corresponding to the parameter in Smithbox (for instance, to import my SpEffectParam CSV, search for SpEffectParam, make SURE you click on the parameter, and then import the SpEffectParam CSV, you'll have to do this for each CSV I provided)
File -> Save All Modified Rows
Make sure you put the script folder inside of your Mod Engine 2 "mod" folder along with the newly merged regulation.bin file
To export another mod's CSVs, you follow the same process but then click Export CSV -> All Modified Rows -> Export To File -> Export All Fields

Updates:

- Added a 0.75% passive HP regen to all spirit ashes to allow them to persist across your journey.

- With the immense help of another modder, Blabla, I was able to get a script that eliminates spirit dead zones across the game, including the Realm of Shadow.

- Added the effects to new spirits from the DLC
