Strange, when I install this the engram shows up, but when I try to learn it it just fills and empties instantly. Maybe I am missing something? It looks like it should be working properly, but for some reason I cannot actually learn the blueprint.

Just posting to let people know this mod still works great!
If you have issues with the "ini settings" follow the instructions above. (It is very simple)

\GameUserSettings.ini

[GFAR]
DurabilityUsePerShot=1.0
PreventDurabilityLoss=False
FiringSpeed=2.0
FiringRange=7000
ProjectileSpeed=1.0

Doesn't seam to be working

Currently installed the mod and for some reason it crashes my game when crafting arrows, or when i have normal grappling hooks and crossbow on the hotbar at the same time i have the G.F.A.R.

Hey does it work in boss fights??

Lt. Aldo Raine May 7, 2020 @ 8:18pm 
FYI, yes these grapples work in Abberation.
Dr.Salt Apr 18, 2020 @ 10:00am 
Does the GFAR no longer work on tribe members or tribe dinos if you disable friendly fire in a PvP server via bDisableFriendlyFire in the game.ini file?

does this work for prim+
Planing on wiping all our servers and do primitive but this ones a must, but since crossbows aint craftable on prim+ then can we use it?

I don't have Abberation, can't answer sorry.
FinnSour Jul 18, 2019 @ 7:01pm 
Does this make grappling hooks work on Abberation?
Rokuma  [author] Jul 13, 2019 @ 1:38am 
@Swaffles I can only guess it's something on the server...it uses the vanilla mechanics entirely for the grapple functions, so I'm really not sure what would interfere.
Swaffles is Weird Jul 12, 2019 @ 10:42pm 
Odd thing to report. First off: I love this mod. It has made my time in Ark so much easier and has led to a lot of funny moments. However, it doesn't like this most recent server I've affiliated myself with. When i press "C" to recall it, it kicks me out of the server. It happened 3x in a row. Any suggestions?
Akita May 29, 2019 @ 9:18pm 
I set the fire speed to 0.7, but it still doesnt work right. The default grappling hook has an instant hook when you hit c, and you can reattach to something instantly. This mod is not very useful as is.
Akita May 29, 2019 @ 8:50pm 
It doesnt work like the regular grappling hook. You cant detach and immediately shoot like the default can. So that means you fall in the lava. :-(
allouzion May 25, 2019 @ 6:43pm 
thanks so much for this! it's awesome :)))
Rokuma  [author] May 23, 2019 @ 2:45am 
@allouzion 0.5 would be four times as fast as the default setting, yes.
Just note that the animation will not fit the speed (but you can fire before it visually reloads anyway)
allouzion May 22, 2019 @ 8:19pm 
Just to see if I am understanding this right... if FiringSpeed=0.5 does that mean there is pretty much no reload time and you can fire it back to back to back instantly?
Caedo Jan 16, 2019 @ 5:08am 
Ah beautiful, I much prefer this solution vs others. Thanks mate, great job and much love for having it configurable!
Daloki Aug 31, 2018 @ 6:32pm 
Thank you so much I love this mod! Works great :steamhappy:

for me it just dissapeared when it hits the ground, now i have fast grapple mod wich works fine and tried the reusable+ but that crashes the game entire gamelol , tho i mightv hit a patch of weird land ,wich you cannot build on i found out later, but the other one worked fine on it so no clue wha happend.
others who see this, this is the first time this happend in years and its a really good mod ;) try it
Rokuma  [author] Jun 21, 2018 @ 9:41am 
what disappears? and can anyone else confirm it?
If you're talking about the hook itself, make sure it hits something. If it reaches maximum range it resets just like vanilla does. (except you don't waste the hook)
L I Q U O R D A D D Y Jun 21, 2018 @ 8:30am 
didnt work for me just dissapears
Rokuma  [author] Jun 20, 2018 @ 8:37am 
It is exactly the same as the keys for the normal Grappling Hook. https://ark.gamepedia.com/Grappling_Hook
(crouch or reel-in+jump)
Zach Jun 20, 2018 @ 2:35am 
underdogau it took me a minute to figure out too. Crouch to unhook!
oscarcatau Jun 1, 2018 @ 10:03pm 
How get it let go of wallonce need it to let go? Also seems bugg out server causes go all shutter if use it mod being removed fromserver to unstabble
Rokuma  [author] May 29, 2018 @ 1:38pm 
@Harzer Roller I originally made this because I don't LIKE reusable plus's way of doing things. And wanted additional options to work with.
Reusable plus only re-adds an item to your inventory after using it.
This is what I see as more balanced as well as far more customizable.
This was also my way to learn the system and figure out ways around problems, I enjoy creating mods.
As for making a "remastered reusable plus" that mod was still in active use and development when this was originally made. Besides, why make something that already exists?
Your opionions are your own, but I do not agree on the same.
Harzer Roller May 28, 2018 @ 1:16pm 
Why do you do all this work for nothing ?! instead you could have make a remastered reusable plus ?! that is so fucking dumb
Rokuma  [author] Apr 12, 2018 @ 11:44pm 
@ibigfire, I haven't tested maximum range at all. I believe the max I tested at was 14,000 (double default to be sure it was working).
As for warnings, it's possible the rope/grapple may not show properly if it goes too far, or it may despawn mid flight at too high of ranges.
Though I don't expect it would despawn unless it goes past render range...possible same as dino distance or building distance, I can't really say for sure.
ibigfire Apr 12, 2018 @ 2:30pm 
Just curious, is there a maximum range you suggest or any warnings against setting it too high?
Gaflem Jan 22, 2018 @ 11:41am 
Lol nvm. I see it now at top. Got ahead of myself.
Gaflem Jan 22, 2018 @ 11:40am 
What is the ini engram name i woukd need to sue to change it from having prereqs. I have another mod that has removed the vanilla grappling hook engram so I can't learn this one either.

Thanks so much for letting us advertise our server! Love the Mod! Keep up the great work!:steamhappy:

hi
Angel Dec 22, 2017 @ 1:05am 
I literally just updated 3 times in the last 20 minutes....
Angel Dec 22, 2017 @ 1:05am 
just as long as I can use my normal mode of indoor transportation (sometimes out door if I don't feel like using a dino) I am happy. So this mod makes me happy. I hope it stays working considering there have been multiple mini patches every (what seems like) 20 minutes.
Rokuma  [author] Dec 22, 2017 @ 12:57am 
Interesting, thanks for the info.
I actually duplicated the orignial grapple files before editing them for this mod. I even duplicated a few that weren't going to be edited (but were small) just in case they changed something and it messed up the grapple....so I guess I succeeded in a way I didn't intend.
Angel Dec 22, 2017 @ 12:50am 
I am chalking this up to recent updates and patches breaking the game itself (seeing as a few other mods are being broken in various ways as well) so I am very thankful that this one still works 100% (I probably shouldn't say 100% since I haven't tried customizing in the .ini file yet).
Angel Dec 22, 2017 @ 12:50am 
just did a test and can confirm this mord works even when the Vanilla mod does now. Unsure as to what got broken, but it is damn nice to have a grapple hook that works again.

Also to elaborate on the prior problems I stated:

-Vanilla Grapple Hooks refused to latch onto walls, building structures, or the world itself. It could latch onto my Basilisk though. And each time you shot it, it would consume the ammo for it without giving it back. So shooting at a wall or other surface would lead to wasted materials due to it consuming the hook but it not working like it should.

-Reusable Plus Grapply Hook just flat out caused Fatal Errors for still unknown reasons. There is a literal flood of people it has affected posting in that mods bug section.
Rokuma  [author] Dec 22, 2017 @ 12:44am 
I've never run into that issue so I can't really give you an answer, let me know what you find out though
Angel Dec 21, 2017 @ 11:57pm 
random question before I actually attempt testing it (will probably test before an answer is had) but does this work properly? I have noticed that Vanilla Grapple Hooks have issues where they don't attach to surfaces like they should, and the one provided in Reusable Plus causes the game to crash. Just curious if it will work properly, or if the recent updates broke the grapple hook in general.
Rokuma  [author] Dec 18, 2017 @ 8:25pm 
If you go too low on a firing speed the reload doesn't match up, but you could technically have it set to 0 to instant reload (would be 0.2 seconds or so)
Probably Ants Dec 18, 2017 @ 8:18pm 
I said that wrong. I meant the reload being shortened
Rokuma  [author] Dec 18, 2017 @ 7:50pm 
@Yung Venuz See the INI Config section, firing speed
Probably Ants Dec 18, 2017 @ 7:25pm 
Would it be possible to have the grapple quickly fire (Immediately after detachment)
rippleping Dec 18, 2017 @ 12:55am 
<3 this frikin mod.
Everlasting.Media Dec 17, 2017 @ 2:42pm 
Currently installing this on my cluster. Will report level of success.
