Well its unlikely to be a load order issue. It is likely due to how that mod identifies its dinos. But either way I'm not actively working on this mod anymore at least until I get another ssd since the having both devkits is like 1.5-2Tb. Sorry, but in the meantime I won't be doing any fixes.

this doesnt seem to work with Ark Omega dinos, it reverts them to normal? Unless thats a load order issue?

Going in and out of the form works similarly to a cryopod where stats are saved so any levels you put into the form will remain. The initial levels and stats are based off of the targeted dino.
VoxVenatu tv Jun 29 @ 1:21pm 
does your dino form "level up" when you do things? or is it just static copy of whatever you marked and killed

I mean, I don't really mind making this mod open source. I'd like to retain some sort of credit for my work so throw my name on a list somewhere or something but other than that mod away. Just don't look too closely at how I did things because it was 99% trial and error, I'm not on the devkit discord. Anyways give me some time to dig up some backups and I'll let you know in a dm. I'm putting this in the main just in case anyone else wants files to learn or make something similar. All I ask for in return is some sort of accreditation. I'm always here and will respond to comments that warrant a response.

Hey! I tried to find you on Devkit discord but thats okay. I am a modder for a server community and we love using this mod. I was wondering if you would ever be willing to open source this content as you are moving over to ASA. I really hope that you see this message, I tried adding you on steam. Have a nice day!

bro seem like a good mod just the clearnes tho amaizing
Xophque  [author] Sep 3, 2024 @ 5:48pm 
To be honest I haven't had much time to work on either version over the past year. The ASA version is nowhere near being ready and for now I no longer have the devkit for the ASE version (each devkit is 500+ Gigs). For anyone reading this I will likely not abandon this version since it seems like transferring mods has gotten a bit smoother since the beginning of ASA. However, I'm on my final year of college and that takes priority over this. I'll still answer questions and such but don't expect any updates. Everything should still work but let me know if things break since I am not actively playing ark. I hope to get back to actively working on this project by this time next year, sorry for the super long delay but life comes first.

(TLDR): I won't abandon this mod but I won't have time to update for the next year or so because life.

Moving to ASA this soon is a bad move. Still doesn't run right for a massive amount of people.
I hope you reconsider or at the very least keep the ASE mod version updated.
xelander72 Jun 6, 2024 @ 9:45am 
does it still work
NevZilla08 Jan 20, 2024 @ 6:43pm 
because its taking a LONG time
NevZilla08 Jan 20, 2024 @ 6:40pm 
how long does it take for the game to unfreeze
Xophque  [author] Dec 30, 2023 @ 12:17am 
I don't believe so, you may be able to still whistle the light on but I'll see if I can add something but no promises that that will actually happen
Stoned Gargoyle Dec 29, 2023 @ 11:22pm 
is there a way to activate the charged light with light pets?

with wich key did I mark dinos?
Darth Glen Dec 9, 2023 @ 9:56pm 
Is there a way to whitelist players? I am trying to us this mod to make a druid system for an rp server.
Spyro Nov 23, 2023 @ 7:04am 
all right thats all waht i see i will test this mod Know Lights funny ^^
Xophque  [author] Nov 23, 2023 @ 5:46am 
This mod does not require any other mods but it is compatible with most mods that add creatures. I wouldn't recommend mixing this mod with play as dino. If things aren't working make sure you respawn or fast travel for the first time after installation.
Spyro Nov 23, 2023 @ 5:16am 
waht Mod i need for this Mod The mod Play as dino too ? or can i using this Mod with Vanilla dinos ?
Xophque  [author] Nov 2, 2023 @ 3:46am 
@trkyb6870
0: Disable Creative Mode
1: Respawn or fast travel
2: double press your grab body button (default "g")
3: Click on Admin Menu in the top left corner of the interface
4: click on enable admin mode
5: wait until game unfreezes
6: close and re-open the menu
7: select dino from the list
8: confirm selection
9: double tap grave "~" to morph into selected creature
This is to test functionality, if you actually want to play like normal you must first target a dino with Z and kill it within 30 seconds.


Also tell me what you are getting stuck on so I can improve my documentation. Its quite frustrating answering the same question over and over with no response of weather or not you've figured it out.
trkyb6870 Nov 2, 2023 @ 3:23am 
bro how to morph
Xophque  [author] Oct 31, 2023 @ 9:53am 
Yeah lol, me assuming everyone is in murica... week of 11/20
Darkspyro911 Oct 31, 2023 @ 9:15am 
American thanksgiving got it because my Canadian thanksgiving already passed lol
Xophque  [author] Oct 31, 2023 @ 8:32am 
Yeah, it'll be a little while, I can't get the auto port and conversion to work so I might have to build it from the ground up, which is fine since I can use my own work as a cheat sheet.

Honestly, don't expect too much between now and Thanksgiving, around then I have a week off classes and I can afford to work on this.
Darkspyro911 Oct 31, 2023 @ 8:21am 
Tell use when you’re ported it to asa lol
Xophque  [author] Oct 30, 2023 @ 5:49pm 
Will I port this mod over to ASA?
Yes.

Will I continue to develop this mod and have updates in ASA?
Yes.

Will I continue to update this mod for ASE?
No.
Darkspyro911 Oct 30, 2023 @ 5:01pm 
So any updates for ASA?
Xophque  [author] Oct 29, 2023 @ 11:14pm 
Hey, Pretty sure everyone is doing this so don't be surprised that I'm moving over to the ASA dev kit on UE5 (which is hopefully better than ASE devkit on UE4) both devkits are ~380GB and I'm not about to give ark another SSD so yeah, no more updates here. To the people who liked this mod, thanks for the support, I'll do my best to revamp everything for ASA. To everyone else, why are you still here or even reading this?
Xophque  [author] Sep 25, 2023 @ 7:47am 
On first spawn after adding this mod you need to respawn/fast-travel if on an existing character
tm31h Sep 25, 2023 @ 7:38am

Its the same as the mod title here, "Morph Mod"
Sage Aug 15, 2023 @ 2:29pm 
What is the mod called in the ark mod list in game cause I'm having a trouble getting it in my game and using it as it doesn't show up
Xophque  [author] Jul 21, 2023 @ 5:22am 
@Nonovoc
Fixed the issue, any flier that is also allowed to swim should not transform you back when entering water. This may cause some incorrectly tagged fliers to appear, so let me know if anyone finds something that is able to swim/ fly in water that shouldn't be able to. Also please use the bugs and glitches discussion for issues like this, its not super important but it helps with my organization since everything posted here gets buried after a while.

Update
Fixed fliers that can also swim to be allowed in water

@Stay Junior
I have a problem I have a mod that adds a dragon that can fly and also swim but on your mod if a flying creature goes in the water it turns us back into humans. Could you make sure that only if the flying creature ejects us in normal time, in this case yes we transform back into humans but if it does not eject us in this case we remain transformed

@Nonovoc
If you are asking me to create a video, I would rather not because of the work associated, but if you are asking if you can make one, go ahead. Plenty of people have been able to figure things out through the description but I'll see about making a more in depth text guide in the discussions, thats the most I am currently willing to do.
Nonovoc Jul 19, 2023 @ 9:47am 
hello @Stay Junior is it possible to create a video to show how the mod works
liltimmytheblackmarketdealer Jul 13, 2023 @ 9:58am

Fixed orbit camera not working
( Jul 12, 2023 @ 6:47pm 
Wow, you are a great Mod creator! Kudos
Xophque  [author] Jul 12, 2023 @ 5:42pm 
Ok, so interestingly enough the celestial argent along with most of the other celestials aren't in the Dino_Character_BP directory meaning my mod cannot use them. I have the morphs restricted to this directory limit the allowed targets to only dinos. Therefore I can't do anything to fix that, Its likely an oversight on the mod creators part, forgetting to parent the blueprint, since most of the other creatures are properly set up.

I also found a work around for the bag drop where items are forced into the player inventory regardless of any weight restrictions removing the need for drop bags entirely. I haven't tested this with max inventory slots full so you're welcome to let me know if it breaks.

Updating in a minute

Make sure your mod updates on servers or else you will crash whenever you or anyone else tries to use any part of this mod
Xophque  [author] Jul 12, 2023 @ 10:01am 
I'll take a look at the argent when i get a chance, also no map, spyglass or any tool was intentional. Most creatures don't hands lol. Also for hardcore I was thinking of adding a timer to prevent morphing back to human for a certain time after taking damage. Lmk if thats something you or others would enjoy.

I'll look into adding levels but having stats probably won't happen for now, I'd have to do some work with tooltips to get that to work.

As for the bag dropping I've got it working in the devkit but I can't figure out why its not working in game, same with preventing morphs on restarts. Might be approaching the limits of what one buff is capable of since literally everything is controlled by one buff on the player.
( Jul 12, 2023 @ 7:37am 
Found ONE dino in Primal fear it doesn't work on.. Celestial Argentavis... LOL. Yo this mod is really awesome and I love the work man!
I did notice that while morphed you can't use things like Map, Awesome spyglass, etc.
I also had to put limits on myself. Its easy to get OP with this if you know what you are doing. I personally like the Hardcore mode, with only add tamed dinos and it kills them.

Is it possible to add to the Menu the ability to see the Dinos levels or stats from the list?

If your inventory is full, and the Morph Inventory is full and you un morph I notice most things just delete and don't drop in a bag on the ground? Is there a setting I missed or is that also in the works?
Xophque  [author] Jul 9, 2023 @ 1:26pm 
Actually It seems I figured out how to entirely solve the issue. Taking a break from something and coming back really does wonders. Regardless, any player in morphed form will be returned to human form just before server close. Sadly I don't currently have a way to test a player leaving while the server remains running so I'll leave that to one of you. I'll do some testing and get an update out within the next couple of hours.

Also for those waiting for the completion of the admin menu, I apologize that progress is so slow but all the things that need to done for that to work properly is insane. I'll get it done eventually but its a rabbit hole in a rabbit hole. I gotta work backwards for it and every one function needs like ten other functions to work properly so don't expect anything from that any time soon.
Xophque  [author] Jul 9, 2023 @ 11:49am 
@Osid
Sure thats possible, I could also just make the morphs un-breadable as an alternative. I'll also mess around a bit to see if I can prevent being morphed on server restarts. This has been an issue since the beginning and I've never found a good solution so don't expect much from that.
Osid Jul 9, 2023 @ 11:27am 
Great Mod! We discovered the glitch when players are morphed during server restarts. The morph becomes a tame. Players are able to mate these tames and gain higher levels.

Would it be possible to make an ini setting that prevents adding player levels to the morph. So if the morph glitches then the player doesn't aquire the added levels from the morph.

Thanks for all you do!
