possibly disable "change name" popup after claiming/taming dinos?!
i want to just be able to claim a bunch of babies by pressing e. this wastes so much time. the animation takes an eternity. completely pointless. if i wanted to change the name, i'd just go into the hecking options! any one know a way to disable this? in-game? in my files? mod? ini? please and thank you

You can trap unclaimed babies, even automatically with newborn auto trapping, and on release it will auto claim for you and not give you that pop up. The newborn auto trap is also nice because you can raise dinos inside shields where they would otherwise be flung to the moon.

From there you can change their name directly in a soul terminal or release them and change their name via the normal multiuse wheel.

Now, this wouldn’t relieve you from the change name pop up that occurs from taming but it will save you from it when dealing with baby claims.

I can’t think of other mods that would do this for you, in all honesty. So while it’s a self promotion - I honestly can’t think of any other options.

No.

Maybe this is incentive to create a mod

or alternatively quickly just press cancel and name them after? takes but a second.

I was thinking something like a mod with utility gun like s+ has. A claiming gun. Not sure its possible, never look at the kit for this type of thing.


But I use dino storage v2 for all my breeding needs.

Yeah, I'm wondering if they are playing on a 15 year old computer if it "wastes so much time." It takes a split second to click.

no it's a custom built computer that runs fantastically. arks transition windows are just slow and laggy. have you ever tried hatching 500 eggs a day on a pve server? it takes an eternity. pvp is an entirely different story because you can just claim the mutations, chomp everything else. so you can drop like 50 eggs at a time. on pve you can drop like max 10 at a time, try to claim one, wait for the needless window to pop up and be clickable, click cancel, wait for it to accept and disappear, then run and try to catch the second baby as they are scattering, rinse and repeat. meanwhile you have 8 other babies not including twins and triplets scattering around your base. the entire process in between each claim takes maybe 5 seconds. OR i could just run around and press e on each one and it would be freaking bliss compared to the nonsense it currently is.

but just like the issue we're discussing your comment was also needless and annoying. bye

as much as this sounds like it would help i'm not sure my server admin would be up for adding another mod like this. he has to keep the mods to a minimum because some people were having trouble loading them. (not me but oh well) i was hoping for something much more simple like a simple setting change or dedicated mod. but thank you very much for the info as this is the only answer i've found and will keep it in mind for future pve servers
