v3.0.2

- Bug fix: Fix flight path max altitude calculation for ARK: Extinction (DLC). Flyers will now fly well below the hazardous zone which would result in them being killed. Server admins who had previously disabled Homing Pigeon functionality are safe to re-enable these features once updated to v3.0.2.

v3.0.0

- Feature: Homing Pigeon Letter. Adds a new craftable item (Homing Pigeon Paper) which can be used to create a letter (Right Click > "Write Letter"). Homing Pigeon Letters can be placed in the inventory of a flyer, for delivery to a Homing Pigeon Mailbox.

- Feature: Homing Pigeon Parcel. Adds a new craftable item skin (Homing Pigeon Parcel) which can be used to identify items in a flyers inventory for delivery when sent to a Homing Pigeon Mailbox. Simply drag the Homing Pigeon Parcel skin onto another item to "package" the item up, place the skinned item in a flyer's inventory and send them to a Homing Pigeon Mailbox for delivery. Any other items in the flyer's inventory which have not been "packaged" with a Homing Pigeon Parcel will remain in the inventory.

- Feature: Homing Pigeon Mailbox. Adds a new craftable structure (Homing Pigeon Mailbox) which when placed, can receive incomming deliveries from flyers carrying Homing Pigeon Letters and Parcels. Rename your Mailbox to make it easier for you, your tribe and your allies to identify.

- Feature: Homing Pigeon Bird Seed. Adds a new craftable consumable (Homing Pigeon Bird Seed) which can be used on any dino that does not have a costume slot. After the dino consumes a Homing Pigeon Bird Seed, close and re-open their inventory to see the costume slot. You can then equip the dino (providing they are a flyer) with the Homing Pigeon Leg Ring.

- Enhancement: Implemented custom CanEquip logic for the Homing Pigeon Leg Ring, moving away from the Custom Tag whitelist in favour of allowing equipping to any dino which implements the ability to fly. As such, this change means that direct integration between Homing Pigeon and other mods should no longer be necessary, everything should "just work" with no change required to Homing Pigeon.

- Enhancement: Refactored the logic for renaming a Homing Pigeon Flag or Homing Pigeon Public Flag - leveraging the client/server net execution features instead of the old-school buff method. Much cleaner and less prone to errors.

- Enhancement: Integrated with Primal Fear mod.

- Enhancement: Integrated with ARK: Parados mod.

- Enhancement: Updated Engram Cost. All Homing Pigeon Engrams (excluding the admin-only Homing Pigeon Public Flag) have been updated to be available at player Level 1, and each engram only costs 1 engram point to unlock. In addition, the Homing Pigeon Leg Ring crafting requirements have been made cheaper, removing the need for Obsidian.

- Bug fix: Fixed the Homing Pigeon Leg Ring Buff dynamic icon and description not executing properly on dedicated servers. Dedicated servers will now see the correct icon displayed in the upper right hand corner of their HUD when riding a flyer who has a Homing Pigeon Leg Ring equipped (this icon indicates whether auto-return is enabled or disabled by the server).

- Bug fix: Temporarily removed the static mesh from the Argentavis so that it doesn't appear in front of the new TLC version of the flyer. Will re-add the static mesh to the Argentavis when Studio Wildcard release the new models from the TLC phase 2 pass to the ARK Dev Kit.

Update: Feb 10, 2018 @ 11:30pm

v2.10.0

- Feature: Send to Allied Homing Pigeon Flags. Homing Pigeon Flags which are owned by an allied tribe are now displayed as possible destinations to manually send a flyer to in the "Send to Flag..." UI. You can filter the UI to only display Allied Flags by choosing "Allied Flags" from the filter drop-down in the upper right of the UI.

Update: Jan 27, 2018 @ 7:14pm

v2.9.0

- Feature: Public Homing Pigeon Flags. These flags act as public rally points for any flyer to be manually sent/recalled to (useful for shared resource areas). Public Homing Pigeon Flags can only be spawned in via an admin command, can only be placed or demolished by an admin, can be placed near player structures, and cannot be damaged or destroyed by players. Note: Auto-return will not return flyers to Public Homing Pigeon Flags by design, tribes are still required to place their own tribe flags for auto-return functionality to trigger.

- Feature: Send to Flag / Recall to Flag UI filters and search. The UI for manually sending and recalling a flyer has been updated to support text search and filtering by category. This should be useful to players who have a lot of flyers equipped with the Homing Pigeon Leg Ring or Homing Pigeon Flags (tribe or public) placed around the map.

- Enhancement: Handle interrupt behaviour and Flight Cancellation. The Homing Pigeon behaviour tree (should) now correctly cancel an active flight if the player whistles follow on the flyer, or if they cancel the current flight for said flyer from the Recall to Flag UI (The accept button changes to "Cancel Current Flight" when selecting a flyer that is currently En Route to a destination). This should help mitigate against the wandering / stuttering bug which seems to be primarily caused previously by interrupting the Homing Pigeon behaviour before it had completed. Will continue to monitor this bug going forward. Note: Players should not use the Whistle Stop commands anymore, as these will not correctly handle cancelling the Homing Pigeon behaviour.

- Enhancement: Dynamically update the Homing Pigeon Leg Ring Buff icon and description (rendered in the upper right when riding a flyer with a Homing Pigeon Leg Ring equipped) to indicate whether the server has Auto-Return functionality enabled or disabled via its GameUserSettings.ini settings.

- Enhancement: UI Icons Overhaul. Many thanks for @follyventures for designing a set of custom icons for Homing Pigeon. They rock!

v2.8.1

- Enhancement: Improved the dynamic flight path altitude calculation. The mod will now try to calculate the maxmimum altitude of the flight path by attempting to detect the world ceiling bounds of the map, derriving the altitude value as an offset of the ceiling's Z value in world space. If it fails to detect a ceiling bounds, it falls back to the old system of calculating the maximum altitude of the flight path from map name, derriving its value as a percentage of the map's Max Kill Z Height value. This has resulted in better compatibility with maps which implement the ceiling bounds in a standard manner, removing a lot of map specific code for this calculation.

- Bug fix: Increased the maximum altitude of the flight path on Valhalla.

- Bug fix: Homing Pigeon Flag collision. Altered the collision response of the Homing Pigeon Flag to no longer block DinoPawns, allowing dinos to pass through the structure, thereby fixing the occasional scenario where a flyer would get stuck on the top of the flag and not complete its travel to the destination.

Update: Aug 13, 2017 @ 3:45am

v2.8.0

- Bug fix: Fixed critical bug introduced by ARK v259.0+ game patch which broke auto-return functionality. Auto-return now works again.

- Bug fix: Fixed low-altitude of flight path on Ragnarok which prevented flyers from reaching flags on some mountain peaks. Flyers now fly at 85% of the max world height and should be able to clear all terrain.

- Bug fix: Fixed buffs (that are applied to the player when interacting with some menus) not deactivating properly. No more annyoying empty icon in the lower right of your UI!

- Feature: Added support for Griffin (Homing Pigeon Leg Ring can now be equipped to this dino). Leg Ring static mesh is also visible when equipped to the Griffin.

- Feature: Added support for Ichthyornis (Homing Pigeon Leg Ring can now be equipped to this dino).

- Feature: Added support for Giant Bee (Homing Pigeon Leg Ring can now be equipped to this dino).

- Feature: Added support for Rideable Vulture Mod. Tamable flyers added by Rideable Vulture Mod (that have a costume slot) can now be equipped with the Homing Pigeon Leg Ring.

- Feature: Added support for ARK: Eternal mod. Tamable flyers added by ARK: Eternal (that have a costume slot) can now be equipped with the Homing Pigeon Leg Ring.

- Enhacement: UI Overhaul - Updated all Homing Pigeon UI to use the new visual style introduced into ARK. Completely re-worked the design of the 'Set Default Return Flag' UI so that it now makes more sense. 'Recall to Flag' UI now also shows an 'En Route' status next to the flyer if it is currently en route to a Homing Pigeon Flag.
