Cujo, the horror film inspired personal attack dog bot was first written in 1996 by Jonathan E. Wright (Nelno). AD+Cujo mod brings the original Cujo to Sock's epic, Arcane Dimensions, with a few enhancements.
--------------- Basic features: --------------- * An autonomous allied dog who will follow the player and attack their enemies. * Cujo will navigate terrain, jump gaps, swim, water jump. * When lost Cujo will teleport back to his owner. * When injured Cujo will find and eat gibs to restore his health.
--------------- AD+Cujo Enhancements: --------------- * Full jump tracing - Cujo will trace the entire arc of his jump for obstacles.
* Gauge gaps - Cujo will gauge jumpable gaps in the terrain to find a landing spot on the far side.
* Dodge projectiles - Cujo will dodge player and enemy projectiles, moving geo and jumping monsters.
* Follow last sight - If Cujo is following and cannot see his owner, he will follow to the last place he saw his owner. This improves follow navigation.
* Avoid owners crosshair - During a melee attack (bite), and when his owners crosshair is over Cujo, he will attempt to manouver behind an enemy to clear his owners line of sight for a shot.
* Plat wait - When a plat/door/train is activated by a player, if their Cujo is following and in view, the platform will wait until Cujo is beside his owner before it moves.
* Walk the dog - Cujo will walk in front of his owner while his owner is holding the walk button.
* Many minor AI enhancements including: - Cujo will gauge the height of a ledge while jumping out of water. - Cujo will jump of walls if he can still see his enemy and his jump touched geo. - Cujo will stop chasing an enemy after a short time if he can't see it. - Cujo will only find an enemy that his owner can see. - Cujo will not attack a flying enemy that is flying above liquids or dangers. - Cujo will stop attacking flying enemies if they have flown too high. - Cujo will stop attacking Spawns when the player is close enough to be hurt by the explosion. - Cujo will not attack undead enemies.
* With respect to the intention of the original author, much of the Cujo AI code has been polished or rewritten, with (most of) the additions noted.
