Better Thralls – Q&A

by
Better ThrallsConan ExilesQ&A

Here I try to answer some of the frequently asked questions about my mod Better Thralls.

Bugreports must always go through the discord server. Only there it is possible to deal with bug reports in detail.

Testerles Conan Exiles Mods

Definitely not suitable for bugreports: the comment area at the end of the page!

There are 2 ways to open the mod configuration:

The green Better Thralls configuration button on the left side of the character inventory or the command line command in case you have disabled the configuration button:

DataCmd BetterThralls

Regardless of the role (admin or player), the configuration opens in “player” mode.

For the server settings you first have to make yourself admin (“Make Me Admin”-button in the server settings of the game), and then switch to admin mode in the Better Thralls configuration.

You will find the toggle button in the lower left corner when you are in admin mode.
 
configuration – mode toggle – admin mode

ModControlPanel is no longer supported due to its limited capabilities.

Check the mod settings (see How do I open the mod settings?). XP Sharing is off by default.

Admin rights are required to view or change the setting!

The way the Unreal engine manages its files makes it impossible to implement a feature in more than one mod without significant additional effort. Unfortunately I don’t have the time for this effort.

Most parts of the mod are configurable and can be activated/deactivated as admin and/or player. If you miss a setting, you are welcome to make a suggestion. The best place for this is my discord server: Testerles Conan Exiles Mods

      Always take one thrall as base game follower (white icon). Attack commands given to this thrall are usually executed by all additional thralls as well. All other commands (move, stop, return, …) are planned. No eta

        Just wondering if this has an ETA yet? I recommend this mod to everyone, and I love every single thing about this mod except controlling the additional thralls. Haha. If that gets updated/addressed, I’ll have literally no complaints to be said! Thanks!

        Hi, sorry I must be missing something obvious … can’t see how to set a thrall as ‘base game follower’ so have had to (temporarily) disable the mod as I can’t command my thrall. Pressing ‘E’ does nothing.

        • TesterleAuthor

          The base game follower is the one you bound with the white follow icon. The green follow icon is from the mod. You can only command the “white” follower with the base game. Currently, there is no way to command the “green” follower(s). That’s currently intended and will maybe change in the future.

          So if you leave the “white” follower slot empty, the whole command system will not work.

          Therefore, the following rules apply:
          1 follower => always use the base game slot (white icon)
          2+ followers => start with the base game slot (white icon) and afterwards fill the mod slots (green icon) with the rest of your gang

    Can clarification be given for where the XP sharing is located? Currently running on v1.9.14 and under the mod settings the only options are General, warcry, and force truncheon. The general only has hide keybind for an option, Warcry only has the option to remap the button, and force truncheon has the toggle for having the followers user a truncheon when the player does.

    Hi, could you add a function that we have a list of all the thrall, and able to select thrall from the list to follow? and also set their engagement tactic etc from the list? ty.

      Only the command system of the base game. No other options for additional followers from the mod. Therefore, always use the base slot, and only then put the additional thralls in the additional slots of the mod. So you can give your base follower an attack command and the additional followers will attack with it. For the other commands this does not work.

    When I give the thrall command to attack something, in the middle of the battle the game crashes and displays a fatal error message. This happens most of the time especially when there is a Hyena in the group. Could you help me please? This mod was everything I wanted most. Thanks!

    Hi, How do I set the mod so additional followers can gain exp? I’ve been on the admin panel and I don’t see an option to turn it on since you have it set to default which is off.

      The settings are in the mod settings and require admin rights to view or change. A description of how to open these settings can be found above. If you have problems with the description, I recommend to join my Discord server to get more support:

    hi, i’m not sure how to pick up a thrall? the description says you can, but it doesn’t come up in the radial menu regardless of whether they’re following me or standing guard

      In “How do I open the mod settings?” you will find instructions on how to open the mod settings. The configuration of the button is in the section “General”.

    Hello somehow i can’t make the “Force Truncheon (Following Thralls will always try to use the same weapon type (lethal/non-lethal) as the player.)” feature work.

    I tried giving them a one handed sword and truncheon in their inventory (me too) but they always use the Sword even tho i’m using the trunch.

    Bonjour
    Lorsque je souhaite mettre un animal ou esclave dans mon inventaire il me dis que son level va être remis a zéro. Est ce normal ? Merci d’avance
