Jack & Jill. I would just forget about it but it ties into the other customizations I've set up. There were a couple other mods that I was looking into that also required first or they would not work at all. I can't think of the names atm. I dismissed them in favor of J&J as well. One was a player map mod and the other I don't have a clue.

Just wondering, but why is the first load order a deal breaker? I did run tests with this mod and others that said they also needed to be in first place and never ran into any issues. Been so long since I've played ARK I don't even remember half their names.

Dude that's a pretty huge undertaking just to check on this! I appreciate it! Just to be clear, the mod does work just fine as long as it's first. I haven't tested on gen1/2. I really hope there's a way around the load order caveat though, as it would still be a deal breaker for me. Godspeed

It wasn't really difficult to create, though tracking down the actual file that deals with the XP Buff was a pain because it wasn't named in the way you'd think. All I did was alter the value of the Buff from 100% to 0%. SpecialXPMultiplier = Events XP, So when a server gets Double XP over Easter and stuff like that, that's why you're not seeing any changes when altering it.

I'll re-download the ADK later on today and give it another look to see if I can bring the mod up to date. There's not really a lot I can do with the requirements for it being first in the load order because I'd have to do the mod in another way, at least that's how it was explained to me previously. The downloads gonna be rough on the NVMe lol it's nearly 300GB just the ADK. I'll give it a look and post another comment with my findings. Then I'll need to reupload the mod under a new, because the ID will change, but it is what it is.

Sad to hear. There is a variable called SpecialXPMultiplier that I read was supposed to be for notes but that does not appear to be the case, or it simply doesn't work. In my very limited experience, it seems any mod that touches the player pawn has to be loaded first or it doesn't function. If you don't mind me asking, was this mod difficult to create? I thought about trying my hand at the devkit to recreate this mod and see about removing the xp from alpha kills. I don't have any real dev experience but I good at tinkering and figuring shit out, and google lol.

Yeah sorry about that, I was new to modding when I made this. After some catastrophic PC failure I lost all the original files. I may at some point remake it, but for now I have no interest in ARK or Modding it. Why the developers haven't made this an option in the game yet is beyond me. That being said I ran it on multiple servers and never once ran into any issues with other mods while running it at the top of the list.

This mod seems to be the only one of its kind on the workshop. The only mod that removes xp and/or the buff from notes. Unfortunately it requires being loaded first which makes it a deal breaker for me. T_T

@123 Sorry, I'm no longer modding for ARK. I don't play the game any more and I no longer have it installed.

Hey, I am looking for something like this. I want to keep the buff, but not get the xp from getting the note. Is there any possible way you could adjust this with an ini setting?

The second one: "Potions for giving you EXP Buffs without the need to find the chests". Some potion that can provide me and my dino Explorer Note's Buff for example during 5min.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean? You want the EXP Buff all the time or you want Potions for giving you EXP Buffs without the need to find the chests?

Haha! Found this mod while searching how to obtain Explorer Note's Debuff without finding chests. Maybe with help of some potion or else. Maybe you know such mod or can made this mod.

Yes it still requires being first in the Load Order. Unfortunately though, I've lost the source files for the mod. I may end up re-making it from scratch, but for now I'm not playing ARK due to it being a bad game.

Does this still require being first in the load order?

Hmm I'm in the middle of rebuilding my rig, but I'll look into it soon as everything is back up and running smoothly. I had issues with the Counter Appearing despite the EXP wasn't getting buffed. Have you tried farming materials to see if you are indeed getting more EXP? If not, then it's working as intended and they are using a new icon that isn't blocked from showing up.

Huh, interesting. I do have it first in my load order but the countdown buff still starts in the corner. Maybe it's a single player issue?

I already use it on my own ARK Genesis Server and it already works to remove the EXP Boosts from the Glitches. If it's not working for you, make sure it's First in the Load Order.

Once Genesis is added to the dev kit, are you planning on updating this for the glitches?

No problem, glad to help ^_^

Thanks, I was looking for something like this!
