i love that it breaks mods it makes it funny and fun

seems it also removes all cooldowns of all abilities so a dilo can spit attack right after its done it and keep repeating it

Safe to run on a dedicated server? I just want to set the min to x0.75 and max to x1.50

Can you make it so dino size can be made up from 0.85-1,15 ? otherwise is too stupid to see a parasaur the size of an allosaur

so for some reason when i cryopod my dino there health shoots way up anyone know the reason?

anyone know how to disable boss size change?

where should this mod be in the load order?

I know you said you are taking a break and I don't wanna sound pushy, but could you just revert this mod to the version before the update on august 14th 2023? Everything worked fine before then. if it's not a simple thing to do then dont worry about it, i just figured i would ask and let u know everything was fine before that update.

It doesn't seem to work if you have -preventhibernation enabled @VenomCodeDev

nice that it is back, i also missed the mod when it wasn't available anymore

thank you for re making it public and i honestly don't see too much of a problem when mr meola used it in primal invasion series it just weird small bugs which are not too bad then.

"Id like to disable the stat changes entirely, but I cannot seem to do it. I have DisableStatSizing=True under [Sizing] in GameUserSettings.ini and it does not seem to be working. I spawned creatures in to test it and health, weight and torpor were obviously scaled. Is there a way to fix this?"

I dont(and wont for awhile, see other replies) have the ASE DevKit installed to be able to check, and I sadly dont remember the specifics. I know the ini setting's names were changed heavily in the last update or two to this mod. I'll see about trying to download the DevKit to check sometime in the next week or two, but no promises!

"Welcome back, kinda sad this mod went missing"

---

I private'd the mod sort of not thinking that people were still using it at this point to be honest. Someone notified me that they'd like to use it so I reopened it! As said in a previous reply though; im not going to be updating it for awhile, if ever. My health tanked for unrelated reasons between posting this mod and now, and im trying to focus on recovery before I resume modding. I really appreciate your and others interest in my mod(s) though! Thank you for the support.

"Is this going to be ported to ASA?"

---

I am(and have been) taking a long break from modding for both ASE and ASA. So unfortunately I will not be really able to update it. Although I look forward to doing it in the future if someone else hasn't done it by then by another dev. I have many ideas for improvements and features I could add, too! But as of now and the immediate future it is unlikely.

good mod, i like how u communicate with the community

Hello Venom. I use this mod and Ark Omega together and overall it works flawlessly. There is only one problem with the Colossal variant from Omega. These are creatures three times the size of the original. This size is then simply multiplied by your mod and there are sometimes, for example, creatures with 6 times the size (as desired). However, as soon as I ride it, the 3x multiplier from Omega disappears and only the one from Sizing remains. Can you explain why that is? After I cryorize the creature it's back to its previous size including the 3x multiplier.

In response to @soundwave superme:
"can't,only 2.0X size"

---

I think you're saying you cant set the size to only 2.0x for all dinos. Yea thats a bug if its the case. I never thought someone would try it, lol. However, thats beyond this mods intentions. This mods scope is to randomly size dinos adding more variety to the dinos you can tame/capture. You may unfortunately need to look elsewhere if you're looking to straight up set the size of the dinos because im trying to avoid scope creep.

In response to @soundwave superme:
"could you set white list in this mod ? just some dinos want change size"

---

That is on the list of things to add. It will be a hot minute as im not sure how to do arrays in the ini configurations.
So the answer is yes, but it will be awhile.

can't,only 2.0X size @VenomCodeDev

could you set white list in this mod ? just some dinos want change size

if you are planning on rewriting the code, may i suggest something to add?

Instead of all the stats scaling with size you could change it to multiple "traits"

for example:

Size: +health/-speed
Strength: +dmg/+weight
Speed: +speed/+stamina drain
Fortitude: +health/+stamina

If you are planning to add breeding, then having many different trait scales could let breeders have more to accomplish.

On another note, glad that your back with this mod :D
One of my fav mods that i never go without
Wish ya gl and hope things work out for ya

In response to @MegaMiner:
"I saw that you added stamina & weight to the sizing, will there be a way to toggle any stat and add scaling for it like how speed is separate from the rest?

Also what do you think about higher hunger/stamina drain as they get larger?"

---

This was planned back when you posted it but due to IRL events for me, this project was temporarily abandoned. Its now back with a partial rewrite of all of the code to make it more consistent. But yes, I think both of those options can, should, and will be added. Its just a matter of how much free time I have to further work on "luxury updates" to this project. Thanks for your interest!

In response to @soundwave superme:
"only0.6-2size ？can you set bigger size like 3 or 3.5？ thank you PLZ"

---

You should be able to do any of that through the INI options. You can find these options in the discussions section at the top of this page.

Can add video 📸

It does work on boss dinos as far as im aware. The whitelist/blacklisting dinos is on the list. Currently have to do a partial rewrite of the mod to accompany breeding. Might be a week or two before thats ready.

can you get a setting like whtielist and black list？ some dinos do not want them change size

does it worked on bosses dinos？like primal fear？

Will there be any functionality towards decreasing the chance for more extreme values to spawn so that the max and min size dinos feel more rewarding to find/breed?

---

I might add more of a "Bell Curve" in terms of distribution in the future.

Just wanted to follow-up about the sizing. As expected there are clipping issues with the saddle when the mount is other-than-vanilla size. But, I'd say it's a small price to pay for the variety and new replay-ability provided. I'm not too concerned about my avatar sinking into a saddle (rendering him invisible) or any of the other issues - standing next to a 1.6x Rex is just cool!

In any case, thanks again!

I see you can set the size variation in the ini, however, is it possible to make it Dino Specific? Say I want all Rex's to be 50% bigger and all Giga 100% Smaller?

---

Its not currently possible, no. And that would be beyond the scope of this mod so its not something I would add anytime soon at least.

you may wanna talk to kraken on here (he's got a discord too) because he's had to go through all this stuff for KBD when he converted dilophosaurs into size scaling versions. there were complications with size scaling and stats scaling associated with it, i think his dilos are 1.0-2.0 now and only the 2.0 versions have higher stats related to size. he might could help and he seems busy but happy to work with folks on this stuff. a version of your mod that's compatible with his mod via his new ini config buffsourcesinclude= is supposed to help with compatibility concerning things like this.

This mod is very nice ! create this mod of thank.
I love so very huge meat eat dinosaur.
Spawn dinosaur size scale is can change ?
only max size for spawn
I'm japanese and use the transration app

Gonna favorite this mod and check up on it every so often. Hope to see it stable and working in the future :)

Taking note of mod. Seems interesting! Hope to see it stable, last one trying was not

Does this persist through loads? All of the past resize mods had that issue where if you exited your game (SP) or restarted your Server (MP) all of their sizes would reset back to normal

---

It does persist through everything( as far as I can tell ). Especially restarts, as that was the main goal when creating it instead of just using other similar mods.

any way to ini config the max/min size limits, like a 75%-125% scale or something instead of 66%-200%

---

Im working on adding this right now as a ini setting. Should be up in the next 6 hours or less.

this mod resize mod dino's or only vanilla dinos?

---

The mod resizes all dinos. Even if they were generated before the mod was added.

Enjoying this so far. I haven't gotten around to riding the ginormous spino I tamed but I hope my avatar doesn't also become super large as a result. if the super large otter around my next is any indication (amazing my character can stand upright with this thing around his neck) it should scale okay.

---

Glad you're liking it! Scaling should be pretty consistent. Im not 100% convinced this will properly scale in every single situation, but im confident it will handle 90% of them. Let me know if you notice any major issues though. Cheers!

"you should add an item that can change the dino's height/size at will"

---

This is outside the scope and ( sort of ) the goal of this mod. There might be a way to increase dino size through leveling it up in the future though!
