Creature Finder Deluxe
If you run a single player game, read carefully the mod description!
All comments about "not finding any creature" will be deleted.

ModID=1591643730
Easily find your lost pets or find a high level tameable
This mod is clean and stackable,
but works best in the last position of your mod list!

V1.4.3
Fix for last Ark Patch. Tamed creature will be found again.

Shift F8: Open the Creature Finder Deluxe window
F6, F7: Cycle through found creatures
F8: Toggle creature Indicator
F9: repeat search
for changing the keys read the discussion HOW TO SETUP KEYS

ATTENTION: If you play single player or run a non-dedicated server, you need to start ARK:Survival Evolved with the launch option
-preventhibernation
otherwise only creatures in sight will be found.
How to setup the -preventhibernation flag:
1. Select the Library tab present at top of the Steam client. Right click on ARK: Survival Evolved and select settings from the list of options available.
2. In the "General" menu item you will see a "Launch Options" text field.
3. Enter
-preventhibernation
4. close the settings dialog and start ARK


To use the CREATURE FINDER DELUXE press Shift F8 (mod default key setting) to open the search dialog. Choose a desired creature class. You can enter a search text in the text entry field (for example: Tek ) or leave it empty. For an exact search use the "". (example: "Dodo")
Make further options like gender or tamed (if ShowOnlyTamed is not set to True in the GUS ini)
Click the "Search" button. If any creature is found, you will see an indicator on the lower side of the screen, showing the found creature, the name, the gender, the level and the distance to the creature. the background of the indicator shows the distance to the creature in color: green (<3000) over yellow to red (>=3000m)
If more than one creature is found, use the F6 and F7 keys to cycle through the found creatures.
The found creatures are sorted by the distance to the player.
Of course only creature already spawned can be found.
You can disable the search for wild creatures in the GameUserSettings.ini (see below).

Teleport Tamed Creature
An Admin on a Server is now able to teleport a stuck tamed creature to his place.
The Admin needs to be sure, that the creature fits in the target space and that the target environment can hold the creature.
Teleporting a tamed creature will only work as an admin on a server.
How to use the teleport feature:
1. in the search window, first target any tribe member or tamed dino of any tribe.
2. search for the tamed creature
3. if there are more than one creatures, choose the one from the minimap by clicking on the green dot.
4. press the house icon on the bottom of the search window.
5. the mod will try to teleport the creature. If this failed, choose another location and repeat.

optional INI (GameUserSettings.ini) entries:
[CreatureFinderDeluxe] FindAllCreatures=True/False default True : if set to False, then only tameable creatures will be found - default True is changed in V1.32 ShowOnlyTamed=True/False default False : You can search for tamed and wild creatures CreatureClassRequired=True/False default False AdminOnly=True/False default False ScanRange= (number in m.) default 1000000 - can be a value between 100 m. and 1000000 m.

The option "AdminOnly" can be used for server admins, who want to find lost pets of any player but do not want that their players use the creature finder. To find the pets of a player, target the player or a tribemember or another pet from the player/tribe and open the Creature Finder Deluxe window. You will see the tribename/playername and the id in the finder window. You need to check "tamed" and you can choose the class of the pet or the name and click search.

If this mod causes lags while searching, you need to set "CreatureClassRequired=True" in the ini.

Whenever i search up a creature it says not found
yxlp2 Mar 13 @ 4:38am 
why when but the code okay there is no problem the code works but fps 30 only ( my pc turns ark on 240 fps)
Diablo_Turo Mar 7 @ 4:03pm 
When trying to search for creatures it always says ‘not found’. I have a dedicated server. And also there is a question whether it is possible to simply select a creature from the left column and not rewrite the name

Le mod fonctionne toujours il faut appuyer sur shift et f8 pour l'ouvrir
Defiance Feb 26 @ 12:22am 
Does anyone know if there is a way to keep the saved profile searches when traveling to another server on the same cluster?
sebastian_1993- Feb 24 @ 3:24pm

Tomko Feb 24 @ 6:27am

what does -preventhibernation do?
thdwolf08 Feb 20 @ 4:10am 
I'm curious if this is a bug or oversight, I can't search for a Tropeognathus. I can't find it in the default creature list and it won't let me search from manually entering the name. I can search for any other creature in the game (yes even those limited to certain maps) but every ARK doesn't have the option for the tropeo. would like help/an answer

Is it possible to sort dino by levels they have in damage or in health?
