Mod Id: 1775666168

Description
A replacement icthtyornis, this one will only steal raw meat/fish and raw prime meat/fish. And only one item from a stack at a time, not the whole stack! It will still possibly force you to drop your equiped weapons (look for these on the ground). But it will not steal and destroy entire stacks of narcotics, water bottles or other consumables as the standard one does!

Once installed it will spawn new instances of the replacement, but will not replace already existing instances. If you want to replace all current instances, the only way I know is to DestroyWildDinos (see wiki[ark.gamepedia.com] This will remove ALL wild dinos on the map, allowing new ones to spawn in, so use this command carefully and at your own risk!

Warning
This is a dinosaur replacing mod. It will substitute an alternative Icthyornis dino for the original. It will not work with other mods which change the same dino, nor with any mod which checks for exact class matches. It does however derive from the original class, so type hierarchy checks and casts should work.

Manual Spawning
To manually spawn an instance for testing or other purposes follow the standard procedure (see wiki[ark.gamepedia.com]) using the blueprint path:
Blueprint'/Game/Mods/FoodOnlyIcthy/Dinos/Ichthyornis/LowStealIchthyornis_Character_BP.LowStealIchthyornis_Character_BP'
For example:
admincheat SpawnDino "Blueprint'/Game/Mods/FoodOnlyIcthy/Dinos/Ichthyornis/LowStealIchthyornis_Character_BP.LowStealIchthyornis_Character_BP'" 500 0 0 10
Will spawn a level 10 dino 500cm from you in the direction you are looking.

Notes
  • Basic behaviour seems to be as expected.

Please report bugs below. I am also interested in feature requests, but bear in mind this is intended to be a "simple" replacement to remove annoyances :-)

Can you open-source the mod, we will port it ourselves.

Can you put this awesome mod on Curseforge too, so that i can apply it to my server?

You're not wrong just thought I'd share in case it helped even a little :)

@Agathorn that is so, but I'd prefer code that doesn't randomly change without telling me! :lunar2019grinningpig: As I said part of the issue is the age of the implementation under ARK it's quite an early version of the Unreal blueprint environment and it's editor.

@wuzzt really late to the party but RE your last comment, not that I want to defend Blueprint because I don't, but just as a tip you CAN select nodes or an entire graph in BP and copy them then paste in a txt editor and you will get text! That same text can be edited to some degree and pasted back. Not at all perfect but just another tool I thought i'd mention.

Best mod for Ark out there. Screw the devs who though this creature was a good idea.

Biggest problem is that it is such an old version of blueprint that they are using and the editor is flakey at best. I have a mod where everytime I touch it, some of the nodes disappear from the model, and I have to remember to add them back. Why anyone thought having a non text editable format was a good idea beats me! Give me C++ or script anyday!

and I'm a quite experienced c++ UE dev, and I know how much the devkit sucks, so you definitely deserved to be thanked for doing this :)
