anyone know of any servers using this mod still?

@Tormound This is the value that is used in the kit, wildcards official calculations may be different.
Tormound Jul 9, 2023 @ 10:51pm 
I thought the base dmg for the charged attack was like 140?
Tech Shubham Jan 9, 2023 @ 7:57pm 
spawn code ??

@Shinygati I came here after I received your response on your fjordhawk mod page. And so, could you add a teleport attack to the AI of the tamed shadowmane? And also add ini parameters to adjust the shock that it imposes? If you haven't forgotten about this idea yet, this comment will be a reminder that you would do it when you have free time. And also, don't forget about ravager. Good day.

I'd love to see a faster stealth if possible also
Shinygati  [author] Aug 10, 2022 @ 6:31pm 
@Kalle_Demos not on a vanilla shadowmane this is not possible, if it was modded it could be done.
Kalle_Demos Aug 10, 2022 @ 6:12pm 
Is it possible to increase Shadowmane speed while stealthed?
TauntXx Jul 16, 2022 @ 7:01am 
I have added a cross map mod to allow Shadowmanes to spawn on all maps, this mod should work with this shouldnt it?
Shinygati  [author] Jul 16, 2022 @ 4:33am 
@TauntXx No this just reverts most of the nerfs and adds a few new features.
TauntXx Jul 16, 2022 @ 4:27am 
does this mod allow them to spawn on other maps, such as Valguero?
WontonFreak Jul 13, 2022 @ 8:14am 
Hello! Love your mod, it really makes the shadowmane feel worth taming again for us on PVE. I was wondering though, how's the possibilities to make the dash attack scale with melee damage leveling, and or have a ini to change the base value?
SplitMask Jul 4, 2022 @ 11:00pm 
Doesn't seem like it wants to work despite the efforts, thank you for the quick replies and attempts anyhow!
Shinygati  [author] Jul 4, 2022 @ 10:45pm 
@SplitMask I would try reinstalling the mod, doesn't seem right if you're doing everything correctly but it's still not working, and unless it's an issue with the mod itself and i'm able to reproduce the issue there isn't really alot that i can do.
SplitMask Jul 4, 2022 @ 10:41pm 
I'm not sure how big of a relation this is to the problem, but it doesn't really show the option to feed them cooked prime fish meat, still keeps tellin' me to get a fish basket, no matter how many times i check the code or wipe dinos or resetting the server. Either way, huge bummer :steamsad:
Shinygati  [author] Jul 4, 2022 @ 10:31pm 
I see no reason for it to not be working then, i just tested it on my server and see no problems, make sure you have cooked prime fish meat in your last inventory slot when trying to tame.
SplitMask Jul 4, 2022 @ 10:29pm 
Yeah, I have. "BetterTaming=True", exactly, without the quotation marks.
Shinygati  [author] Jul 4, 2022 @ 10:18pm 
@SplitMask are you using a capitalised letter when setting it to true? I've just reconfirmed that it is working on my server without any issues.
SplitMask Jul 4, 2022 @ 6:58pm 
After a dino wipe, the armor values seemed to have changed (at least for Shadowmanes spawned in via command), but the taming method still hasn't changed despite all that.
Shinygati  [author] Jul 4, 2022 @ 4:56am 
@SplitMask You will need to do a dino wipe after changing the taming method.
SplitMask Jul 4, 2022 @ 2:09am 
scratch that, i was mistaken and /nothing/ seems to be working as intended, hrm..
SplitMask Jul 4, 2022 @ 2:03am 
hey ive been having some issues on getting this to work on multiplayer, wondering if i was doin something wrong? seems like the buffs (the default ones) went through but i cant for the life of me change the taming. using arkservers.io, tried to input the .ini commands in there with no results so far
Ormonard Jun 23, 2022 @ 7:03pm 
Awesome mod, what is the taming effectiveness of cooked prime fish meat?
Shinygati  [author] Jun 16, 2022 @ 11:29am 
@Fire&Blood There are no spawn codes, this is just a buff for already existing vanilla Shadowmanes.
DiverWithNoName Jun 16, 2022 @ 10:48am 
Spawn code?
Jeronimo (cn-fr) Jun 8, 2022 @ 4:11am 
@Shinygati thx for this mod!
Shinygati  [author] Jun 8, 2022 @ 2:58am 
@Jeronimo (cn-fr) As mentioned this is just a buff that affects existing creatures, you can remove it at any time without risk of losing any dino's.
marowc91 Jun 7, 2022 @ 5:42am 
@Jeronimo (cn-fr) their changes are only done by a buff, so no alternative creature/remap etc. I've tested my (existing) SManes recently with and without mod and i can safely say this mod is 100% safe to remove, at least on single player.
Jeronimo (cn-fr) Jun 6, 2022 @ 10:31pm 
"-This mod does not remap and only affects vanilla shadowmanes so it can be safely removed at any time."

so you confirm, it uses vanilla shadowmanes, wont delete tames if mod is removed?
will only nerf them back to their default settings right?
marowc91 Jun 6, 2022 @ 10:06am 
Also I have to admit that sometimes my mouse does the double click and i was thinking that it might be the case, but as I said, there was no bug when I tested the attack on land and in water for 10 min each, but very often in underwater caves.
marowc91 Jun 6, 2022 @ 10:03am 
There are few more places like that cave and in every single one there is the same issue. My guess is that the bite glitches out within "deactivated" water volume - you can walk in the area you swim to, but buffs that activate when you touch water (hydration) is active like you'd be in the water.
I will test this more once i'm on another map for sure, on a DLC one perhaps, to see if this is a general bug, or a map one. The glitch happens randomly however and I can't figure out why it occurs, but every time I checked the buffs through that command (had to be mounted to show them btw) and none were missing.
Shinygati  [author] Jun 6, 2022 @ 8:59am 
Otherwise another possibility is that you may have double clicked by accident and the game tried to do both a standard bite attack and a charge attack at the same time.
Shinygati  [author] Jun 6, 2022 @ 8:57am 
@marowc91 From what you've told me it does sound like the game may prevent buffs in that cave, so if it happens again check to see if the mod is still affecting the shadowmane by facing it with your character and enter the admin command "ListMyTargetBuffs" without quotes, if this turns out to be the case you'll have to report the issue to the creator of the modded map you're playing on.
marowc91 Jun 6, 2022 @ 6:29am 
I did not know that harvestables can interfere with this attack, so I made sure there aren't any nearby when I did the test. I don't use Shadowmanes often, most often for just travelling.

When I tested the attack on a spawned diplo, the bite was working normally (with mod changes) whether I missed it or not, on land or underwater. In underwater cavern (where you can walk), it dealt normal attack damage every time and did not gave the slowdown debuff to the target: game treated the attack like a regular swing and consumed the charge. I haven't found any problems so far anywhere else I used them.
My bet is that is a vanilla bug, and I won't be suprised if this is another SP only issue heh.
marowc91 Jun 6, 2022 @ 5:49am 
Yes, this is on single player. I'll test this without any mods but this one as I have a lot of them (they are mostly QoL ones though or those that add new creatures, but not any that changes the Shadowmane). Oh, and I use existing 'Manes. I'll test with newly spawned ones.
Thank you for your time.
Shinygati  [author] Jun 6, 2022 @ 5:36am 
@marowc91 And this is on single player? also how often does this happen? i have yet to find any issues after running around biting and killing stuff for 20 minutes in my world so i've not been able to find any problems so far, can you try maybe loading another map and remove all mods except this one and see if the problem still occurs? also be sure that there are not any harvestable objects nearby when you use the bite attack and miss as this will also consume the charge even without the mod installed.
marowc91 Jun 6, 2022 @ 5:30am 
If that matters, I currently play on modded map Caballus and these are the mod's ini that appeared in the file automatically:

[Unnerfed Shadowmane]
AdditionalBuffs=True
ChargeDamage=35
BonusRange=2500.000000
Shinygati  [author] Jun 6, 2022 @ 5:28am 
@marowc91 I'm talking about the changes for this mod, i need to see what changes (if any) that you have done over the default values.
marowc91 Jun 6, 2022 @ 5:26am 
@Shinygati Um, I'm not sure which particular ini changes do you need to be honest, heh (there's a lot of them). I use mostly default settings, also from this mod, and no stat changes etc. I even moved the mod to the top of mod loading list without luck.
Shinygati  [author] Jun 6, 2022 @ 4:59am 
@marowc91 Can you show me the changes on your ini? i am not able to reproduce any of the issues that you mentioned.
marowc91 Jun 6, 2022 @ 1:13am 
I would like to continue using this mod, but on sp it breaks 'Mane's charged bite: it randomly works or deals only damage that is the same as its regular attack. Same with the charge bar if you miss the attack - it will deplete or not at random.
I like the other changes though, they are needed lol, but that bite... ugh.
Novia May 9, 2022 @ 11:37am 
Worked right away! Thanks for the quick fix on it!
Shinygati  [author] May 9, 2022 @ 9:29am 
@Novia That shouldn't be necessary, i believe i found the problem.
Novia May 9, 2022 @ 9:05am 
@Shinigati Thanks a bunch!

If need be, would hopping onto this server specifically be able to help? I know another mod that I was having issues with, the author had me run a few lines of code to get info about the specific problem egg. Or if there's anything I can do, like grab info about the affected mane.
Shinygati  [author] May 9, 2022 @ 9:01am 
@Novia i'll see if i can reproduce your issue and have a fix out as soon as i can.
Novia May 9, 2022 @ 9:00am 
@Shinigati I'm on a server (Gportal), the Shadowmane is currently level 357. Upon downloading, it shows blue background for the 'saddle' with 80 armor, using cryo twice (soul balls) doesn't change it, reup/downloading does change the 'saddle' green with the same armor value of 80.
Shinygati  [author] May 9, 2022 @ 8:46am 
@Novia What level are your shadowmanes and are you in singleplayer or on a server?
Novia May 9, 2022 @ 8:29am 
It seems that this isn't working on my shadowmanes- after cryo/uncryo and uploading/downloading, it still shows the lower 84 (or whatever it is) armor value. Though it does take on the green background after I do the uploading and cryoing. These are bred and slightly mutated manes if that makes a difference.
Zichfried Apr 30, 2022 @ 12:58am 
So it's already 124.8? That's perfect for me!
Thank you for your response!
