@dubCut will you be doing this mod into ASA?

Greetings!
Amazing mod really love it one of my essentials!
Thought i have a few questions,
In my ini options i have this:

[DinoFinder]
MinLevels=1
MaxLevels=900
SearchRadius=175000
displayOutline=false
IgnoreFish=true
noDamage=true
HideAllTamed=false

And all fishes are still shown to me.
did i understand the setting wrong that it should be ignore fish false?
Also in your description you say following
"
INI OPTIONS
Special Highlight on Alpha Creatures, Giga and Ovis"

How do i change that in the ini option can't find any information about how to change this.

Thanks in advance for a answer!

Fantastic mod
Muramune Jul 8, 2022 @ 7:02am 
Yes I only use the helmet though
Kim Byeong-in Jun 18, 2022 @ 3:39pm 
is it still work? because i cant use the cheat giveitem
DryRoastedNutz Feb 2, 2022 @ 8:53am 
Is there a trick to get this to work? I put on the helmet and nothing.
MannenMyten Jan 24, 2022 @ 8:18pm 
What's the INI-option for "Special Highlight on Alpha Creatures, Giga and Ovis"? It's not listed, I'm just assuming "SpecialHighlight=True" or something like that.

(continued) oh and there is something else. Can you seperate between Levels for normal dinos and levels for Alpha-Dinos. So player can make even low-level alphas visisble.
GD Jan 20, 2022 @ 10:38am 
An outstanding mod. The most helpful right after S+. There is one little wish though: Could you make a version of the Dinofinder which is a Skin so it can be applied to all heads. That would be super-helpful. The Builders-Helmet has done such a feat. They have a helmet and a skin for heads both provide the same functionality.

I can't seem to find ant instructions for using the filter section. I use the helmet. I do not have access to changing the ini file. Can someone tell where the instructions are or tell me how to do it.

Has a new bestiary/wiki been made yet? Im trying to have a go at this mod and im so lost!
Dark Nov 24, 2021 @ 3:57pm 
@ROGer: your drive letter will most likely be something different (it's wherever you store your game files) but this is mine, which is the folder path to the "DefaultGameUserSettings" where you put those and other mod config scripts.

D:\Steam\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Config
Puroro May 17, 2021 @ 1:20pm 
help, i cant find the ini file that the author's talking about... i dont see any .ini file in the mod folder
Spartan Apr 21, 2021 @ 4:21pm 
Amazing mod !!!!
Color customization would be fantastic but no updates since 2018
Solamain Apr 15, 2021 @ 8:04am 
@Kevin most likely the limiting factor for not seeing them far away is from the dino draw distance setting in the game itself, not the mod.
senkan Mar 26, 2021 @ 2:08pm 
Would be nice if the Dino's within the chosen range would be a lighter color like yellow and not mauve. Also is there a way to keep the name from disappearing or staying up longer?
NPC Mar 24, 2021 @ 7:20am 
this does not work
™R.I.P™ Sep 30, 2020 @ 12:32pm 
Could you do anything about the name color? I can not read when there are a lot of it in the same place, or when I fly too fast.
Kevin Sep 30, 2020 @ 11:32am 
I do love this mod, found a possible issue with it. When i have the helmet on and i turn on my awsome spyglass the game crashes.
I find that if i want to dino find i make sure the spyglass is turned off, and it seems to stop the crashes. They seem to work together for a while, but once i get in a high dino area they seem to cause a crash.
Also what it the max range that works for this, i have the range set for something stupid high, but it still seems like i have to be very close to see them anyway.

怎么操作的
jcjar Jul 13, 2020 @ 1:42pm 
Which ini file do we edit
displayOutline=false
to true?
Thx, JC

I love this mod a lot. People are apparently blind tho and cant comprehend that tamed dinos are shown as well, just in highlighted green and with no name tag.
Vokhirion May 7, 2020 @ 4:01pm 
How do we see tamed dinos as like as wild ones?
mike.vt160 Mar 8, 2020 @ 12:52am 
it shows tames to0 but witch much lower range
OperatorSartor Mar 6, 2020 @ 12:29pm 
is this for only wild dinos or does it show tamed ones to

Sandman Apr 9, 2019 @ 1:51pm 
pls add Dino Finder Magic Helmet skin for other helmet
RISTERN Mar 19, 2019 @ 12:42pm 
A troll stole a lot of my dinos and i hope this will help me find them
Deucalion Feb 4, 2019 @ 1:36pm 
This mod is very stable and really helps make our servers fun and unique for our players. I always recommend this mod to all my friends that enjoy ark 10/10!

@living tribunal You only have to add what you wish to change.
Noctume Jan 14, 2019 @ 5:47am 
Can we hide the torpor and life of mobs ? Just wanna know if it's possible :) because just want to see lvl, sex and type of the dinos
The Living Tribunal Jan 11, 2019 @ 2:09pm 
Do I have to add the [DinoFinder]
MinLevels=1
MaxLevels=120
SearchRadius=17500
displayOutline=false
IgnoreFish=false
noDamage=false
HideAllTamed=false
to the gameusersettings.ini?
spootyshiznit Nov 30, 2018 @ 4:03pm 
Is there something I am doing wrong? I have HideAllTamed=true but they are still being highlighted. Or is there no option to not highlight tames only?
spootyshiznit Nov 28, 2018 @ 8:06pm 
I loooove this mod. Great job. The helmet is now life.

I can't get the torch nor trhe helmet in game and I did activate the mod. Is there any help I can get?
Sandman Jul 16, 2018 @ 9:19am

I like the underwater world very much. I hope I can do the diving mirror MOD, filter out the blue light in the water, and restore the true color. Thank you.
lionvscuddletom1990 Jun 14, 2018 @ 11:04am 
first of all, your mod is awesome, but here`s a question. is their a chance of making this mod work with primal fear? at the moment it sets a highlight on alphas, gigas and ovis. could you make it work for apex, fabeled etc. like they are on primal fear? this would be awesome!! i also tried to change the settings in my game ini because my server is runnung with lvl 900 dinos, so with the original settings it shows everything in red ^^ but it didnt work. any ideas on how i could fix it?
I'm a Ghost   Jun 4, 2018 @ 8:24pm 
How could i change the recipie of this?
Solgato May 21, 2018 @ 4:45pm 
ok any mod that's been tended to since 2016 i have to subscribe to out of respect and see what it does :)
Dragitsune Apr 24, 2018 @ 7:25pm 
So glad this mod exists because I have arachnophobia so this makes playing the game so much more fun for me because I can avoid them like the plague now
Cataclisto Apr 23, 2018 @ 9:33am 
Can you add different modes to the dino finder? I'll write some examples of what I mean.
1st mode: Default (what we have now)
2nd mode: Tame finder (shows only our own tames, can be used to find lost pets too)
3rd mode: Player finder (shows only our tribe mates anywhere on map)

@KongTroll
unfortunately not...
Captain Vincible Apr 5, 2018 @ 8:19pm 
@El Grapadura There is a section in ASM for GameUserSettings.ini settings. You can't edit the ini directly. Our server is down at the moment so I don't exactly know where it is located but it is in one of the lower sections.
KongTroll Apr 4, 2018 @ 9:52am 
@dubCUT
There's a way to filter which dinosaur I want to find? For example, I want to find a T-Rex so only T-Rex are shown.
