I was playing on a server with friends and this mod is great, but it's so old and says it's a Beta, I'm worried about it?

It says there were others and this is their version, is there a better mod like this? I haven't found anything like it yet.

Is it possible to track multiple dinos?

- craft trigger
- equipt and use trigger to activate
- use trigger second time to access the GUI which you can change some settings, or deactivate the tracker.
- later on, will provide GUI with the same

Hi, any chance to update?'

This is one of the most essential mods for me, makes roaming in ark so mutch more efficient, any chance you can add an option to warn when alphas are detected?

Can you please customize DinoTracker again to the latest release is really super mod
Matt_Allee May 7, 2017 @ 9:37pm 
Does the tracker work on Wild Creatures? And if it does, does it mean that tracked ones won't despawn?

I love your mod but we are using the classic flyers mod since last death patch where they nerfed flyers to the ground. The problem now is that your tracker can't track the birds any longer. I guess that happens because the other modder had to change the flyer IDs. Would it be possible to add those new ones to your mod?

@ MickeyTJR I had a similar issue with "Mass Storage and Crafting Center" once but if you free you mouse (Not using a Properties screen) you should be able to mouse over to the stuck screens close option and close it that way. I recommend hitting tab once to free your mouse and not to open another window in front.

What's the line to hide the engram in the game.ini ?
MickeyTJR Mar 6, 2017 @ 6:56pm 
If you're on a dino and you have the dino tracker selected and attack with the dino, the dino tracker screen can not be closed. You can open another instance of the dino tracker window, but the only way to get rid of the other "echo" it to log out and back in.

Hey Temil2006; I just thought about that and, could it be possible from you to create such a mod as the one I described in my earlier replies ? ( Scan for dinos and return their coordinates and level and gender, with maybe a list of all the dinos ARK has that are tameable... ) It would be really nice from you if you could and I think people would appreciate it so they don't have to run all over the map for 10 years to get one dino they want on servers... Thanks !
Temil2006  [author] Feb 12, 2017 @ 4:19pm 
Paul :: it currently supports Wild and currently being tamed. Will be adding support for tamed as well later via the Gui. doesn't display other tribes dinos or players. Will be adding some pvp features for that later based on being killed by others, giving there more risk of being tracked by others if you are a heavy pvper.
PunkR0ckz Feb 12, 2017 @ 1:52pm 
Yeah, I get you on the "it feels too OP" to scan for dinos and return their coordinates etc... but then again, depending on the difficulty settings, the multipliers and all that, it could be a time saver to have. I play with regular settings and no mods that are OP (they are just quality of life mods) and I don't use special arrows or darts, only vanilla stuff, so taking down a 150 Quetz takes a lot of patience and time on its own, let alone finding it on the map if there is one spawned. Yet again, I understand your point, but I believe the material costs could become a big part of it, or the limitations you would put on it... ;-)
Paul Feb 12, 2017 @ 12:55pm 
Is this for wild, tame or both?
Temil2006  [author] Feb 12, 2017 @ 11:24am 
yea, but that mod is meant for that purpose. This mod is currently not meant for full map detection. it's meant for local tracking of dinos within the line of sight. .. if that makes since?
Sgt.Rock Feb 12, 2017 @ 11:17am 
curiosity, just wondering because joans pet finder will find a dino the whole map.
Temil2006  [author] Feb 12, 2017 @ 10:28am 
SlaughterNOMADS :: that's correct. It only scans every 5 secs for updates, in a range of 15000, which i'm acually going to be reducing that down to 10000 since that's still very long range, and anything behind that you really can't read the text anyways, or they are consider "out of line of site". This does NOT scan the entire map. Are you asking this question just out of curiousity, or because you have an idea/issue you need to report?
Temil2006  [author] Feb 12, 2017 @ 10:26am 
desnoyerse :: about the tracking, alot of that is to come, I want to make sure the first build is working as expected and fully clean of bugs. will be looking into defined tracking based on lvl, gender, name of dino, etc

the ability to track the stats of specific mobs will be dino or player specific. Think of it as a hud on he right of the screen that will allow you to easily track tames, or maybe dinos you are working on taming, etc. it won't point you to them, feel thats to OP, but it will display updated stats on the dino, which again will all be customizable on what is displayed.
Sgt.Rock Feb 12, 2017 @ 8:11am 
- The refresh time is every 5secs, and the range is 15000?
does this mean it dont cover the whole map for scans?
PunkR0ckz Feb 12, 2017 @ 7:41am 
I really do hope however you will be able to create this feature, and allow us to place it on anything (platform saddles included) if it will be a structure, if it is a "handheld" item, it would even be better... it is a feature I have been awaiting for a long time, and the person from the other mod (Creature Finder Tools WIP) that does something similar, isn't updating it or whatever... it would've been a really good mod otherwise... just don't like the "guess work" out of it.
PunkR0ckz Feb 12, 2017 @ 7:37am 
Hi Temil2006; I really like one of your future plans (Tracking specific dinos). I think, if you do this, you should allow us to select which dino we want to track (for example, a dropdown list GUI) and the levels we want to track (for example, between 120 and 150) so it would show us only those that matches these 2 criterias. HOWEVER, if you do this... I believe a list shown for a minute (like the "Level up text" would be awesome. I believe something like this would be cool (Female Doedicurus - Lvl 136 - 70 Lat 81 Lon) or (Male T-Rex - Lvl 63 - 20 Lat 17 Lon) or blue text for male and pink text for female.

confirmed workign fine now.
Thanks
Temil2006  [author] Feb 11, 2017 @ 11:18pm 
new version cooking now that will add activate and deactive text when you use it to maybe help with identifying when this is tuned on/off. about 10mins it will be up.
Temil2006  [author] Feb 11, 2017 @ 10:54pm 
Tombud :: honestly, I don't know what you are talking about. I just loaded into a new Single player game, crafted the trigger, placed on hotbar, and left clicked (this activated it).

I left clicked again, and it deactivated it. turned off with no issues. I also tested within local server, and dedicated.

you mentioned about pressing 1 to turn it off.. you don't press 1.. you equipt it, and left click as if you were firing it.

TomHud™ Feb 11, 2017 @ 10:30pm 
i did try that - i press 1 to turn it off,I still seen stats.
The issue is once you have the tracker activated,i couldnt turn it back off even by pressing the relevant key or removing the tracker from my hotbar.
In the end i threw the tracker on the floor and i still could see all dino stats.
The mod itself works fine,if only i could deactivate it once used.
Temil2006  [author] Feb 11, 2017 @ 10:27pm 
don't throw away the tracker. use it a 2nd time to deactive it. later versions will have a GUI which will be activated via the tracker as well to active/deactive/ and setup. this is setup like this be design so that you dont need to keep the tracker equipted.

I'm not really sure why you feel this is an "issue" .. as it was designed like this. care to explain how it's an issue?
TomHud™ Feb 11, 2017 @ 9:41pm 
found a major issue with this mod.
Once u crafted the tracker you do see the stats on the dinos in the wild.
But here is the problem.
Throw the dino tracker away and the stats on the dinos are still there.
You dont need the tracker once you activated it and there is no way to turn it off.

Tested in Singleplayer Mode
