Hey guys, I've been working on a mod to re-enable Dean Domino as a companion, by basically making a brand new NPC with the same voice, dialogue and so on, and frankly, my method is turning out to be more trouble than it's worth.

So, I was wondering, where exactly in Dead Money's scripts, does Dean Domino cease to become a companion, and what can I do to simply re-enable him again after Dead Money is finished without going through all the hassle of duplicating every voice file and line of dialogue?

You cant bring a DLC companion into the vanilla game without first editing tons of scripts including casino weapon removal scripts, Companion AI scripts and so many other things. Its best to just not try.

What? Why not? You would not edit any existing scripts you just add what you want to enable/create for your companion in new scripts.

@Jara - I haven't played Dead Money and don't own it, so can't go through the scripts to help you out on this, but have you done a search for his ref and then gone through all the scripts you get back in your search? Also, you should look through any hits that you get in his dialogue infos as well as that could take place in one or more dialogue results script.
