Here's a small update for the Pets and Guards Mod.
1. Removed an exploit that allowed multiple Pets or Guards to spawn when placed at a vertical angle. This update only allows placement on a horizontal plain.
2. Removed template guard from spawning list.
The first 2 provided a guard in one and some farming stock in another.
The second 2 provided some animals and some medical equipment.
They appear to work as intended. This was tested on Navezgane with no other mods.

I manually spawned 4 supply crates in batches of 2 and 2.

Before making any changes, you did try to change to load order by renaming the Pets and Guards mod to something like:
Z_Oaks_Pet_Animals_and_Guards_A20_2023April18, right? Just so it loads after in case War of the Walkers totally removes everything that comes before it.
War of the Walkers has some really nice questing features for sure.
I remember this issue. For me I would leave that tile alone and eventually they would pop. They were also triggered if something came near them as well. But every once in awhile I didn't feel like waiting so I wasted the tile and placed another one in it's place.
My question: is there a way to edit out EVERYTHING except the Guards? I wish there was an option where you could select what you want - like a CONFIG menu.

Commenting out recipes.xml items for farming/pet features can remove that side of things. The example for the "vehicleFarmJeepPlaceable" shows how to comment out an entry. The same can apply for the traders.xml and loot.xml to remove hook ups for anything referencing pets.

Here's an alternative version of Oaks Pet Animals and Guards made for the Wild West Mod.
It provides just the NPC humans and 'rabbit' guards. They can be found in Air Balloon drops and the Traders.

Will this be updated for A21? Going to test it with it later, but just in case it goes wrong, I wanted to check. Lol. We can't play without this now, we've been hooked a long time. Lol. Thanks!

The Guards are made using the Unity Multipurpose Avatar system (UMA). It allowed them to be added with customised features but still remain server side only. It appears that this UMA system is no longer functional for A21using the A20 mod values. It cannot be updated due to that. I can not be 100% sure it has been fully removed or simply relocated and it will take some investigation.

Thanks so much for the response. We are thinking of starting a "Retro" Server anyway & using A19 on that one so we will still be able to enjoy the pets on there.arramus said:

After more investigation, the NPC Zombie class for the Guards is not functioning and it seems that Retro is the best way to go for now. We will not forget this mod though and will consider using default zombies to take the place of archetype ones. It won't look pretty but it could be functional.
An alternative is not server side:
- NPCMod since their guards can be asked to stay in one place or follow the player on quests and for looting.
- Oakraven Collection Bee Hives and Chicken Coops for the resources they bring.

Thank you so very much! Working on setting up our Retro or Throwback server right now!

Removing certain animals and guards on an obsolete system, will allow the working ones to remain. There may be the loss of one or two things here and there but it won't be too bad. It will take a bit of time to iron things out and then we'll release a test release version for A21.MandyCMoore said:

Testing is going well. All guards and animals could be recovered. Even the piggy which we expected to be removed by now.

Awesome! This has become one of our must have mods on our server! Still going to start a Throwback server & as soon as this & a few other mods are updated we will start a server for A21 as well. Thanks so much for all you're doing!Testing is going well. All guards and animals could be recovered. Even the piggy which we expected to be removed by now.

Oak's Pet Animals and Guards have been updated to A21...
https://github.com/arramus/ServerSideOnly-Oaks-Pets-and-Guards
However, and this could be a game changer for some servers.
Human Guard Mesh Collision
The Human Guards do not have a surrounding mesh collision. This means they are impervious to attack and are pretty much immortal.
A21 removed a number of features related to how the guards are made and this is one of them.
If this is a problem for your server or play through, the Human Guards can be removed from the loot.xml to allow only the Animal Guards to be accessible.
Unfortunate, but this is a TFP asset and one that keeps it Server Side Only.

This works client side for Single Player mode very well.
All of the assets are already in 7D2D which is why it can work for Server Side Only on a dedicated server, but SP is also very acceptable.
