Turning on pvp in pve
I would like to be able to turn on or off pvp on a pve server. Not to pvp but to do somethings that won't allow other wise. Like using argent to pick up players to hunt quetz or to box up snakes to farm eggs or pick up small Dino to reloc so you can tame them. On pve servers this can't be done. But this would be nice. Editing: I don't know why I didn't think of this before for players group invites that would help out players helping players.

If you want to enable PvP, go to the server gameusersettings.ini file and change
ServerPVE=true
to
ServerPVE=false

Alternatively, you can enter the following arguments in gamusersettings.ini under [serversettings] to enable flyer carry on PvE
AllowFlyerCarryPvE=true
bAllowFlyerCarryPvE=false

If you're new to this, just a reminder that this needs to be the server file, not the files stored on your local computer. You can edit gameusersettings.ini either in the web management tool or via an FTP client.

Edit: this is assuming you're talking about your own privately hosted server, not your own single player game.

Looks like you're out of luck then. There's no way to enable pvp on an official pve server.

There are a bunch of private pve servers out there with flyer carry enabled, mine included.

[AUS][PvE]MonkeyIsland x8T, x2H, x4XP, x20M, Aku Shima, Small Dragons

You're welcome to join if you wish.

Just a thought, if you want to be able to carry players from outside your tribe so you can work together for taming or transporting players/dinos, maybe you could use the 'declare war' system to enable pvp between your two tribes. This should allow you to carry them as you normally could in pvp.

I'm solo player with no tribe so that wouldn't work ether. I want to help out without joining a tribe.

Tribes with just 1 person are still possible. Not sure if the war declaration mechanic works until you manually create a tribe in the tribe management menu (L by default).

So this should still be possible even if it's just you in your tribe.

Group invites would be a nice start

Well temp hunting groups like on other M.M.O. games this help out but not with carrying Wild dinos with argent or quetz.
