Claim Dinos from other Tribe

[Mrs.Hipsterwhale]

We just created an new tribe and forgot to get our dinos to the new tribe.. so how can we claim the dinos now? there is no timer when we can claim the dinos. is there any option to change it on the server settings? or are the dinos lost and we have to get new ones?
Thank u so much!

Private server?

Unifficial server.... admin uses - enablecheats [admin password]

Then: cheat givetome while targeting said dino

I found an interesting 'bug' last night when I left my 1 man tribe and lost everything

I could just recreate the tribe, by the same name, and get my ownership back. Hah.

Rather than that, have an admin force one of you into the old tribe (and make him owner, if that doesn't happen on its own) and then merge the old tribe into the new one.

If the person with the same steam ID re-creates the tribe, then yes. Can't be done by just anyone though. The server only recognizes playerID not character name, and tribe.

Huh? I don't know what playerID would have to do with it. It was actually my own server and I had a gander at the save files.

Man-less tribe was no longer a file. However in the game the dinos and structures were still tagged to that tribe. There was no data about the player who created the tribe anymore!

Unless you're saying every dino and structure both saves the tribe name/id (funny, I think the tribe name is the id -- no other way this could've worked!), AND the playerID of the owner of the tribe to each item... which sounds like a waste of storage and completely needless to me...

Just means the tribe id is linked to your character file not someone else that was in your tribe

There was no longer a tribe. No tribe save file. Actually, I had joined ANOTHER tribe before I realized my mistake.

So i just tried to do the same but it dont work for me. I tried to tame the dinos with admin commands.. dont work. Any Commands i could try? Or is there another way to get back in the old Tribe?

Yes i am.. All Commands worked but theres none which could bring the dinos to the new tribe

[Vesuvius]

Cheat givetome

Or add Admin Command Menu mod
That has a user friendly interface to admin servers. point and click options

Like I said, you can force yourself into the old tribe and merge tribes. That should be the fastest way.

ForcePlayerToJoinTargetTribe <PlayerID>
or
ForcePlayerToJoinTribe <PlayerID> <TribeName>

followed by
MakeTribeAdmin
or
MakeTribeFounder

That should give you the right permissions to merge the old tribe into the new one. Just make sure there's someone in the new one with the right permissions too.
