FUTURE IDEAS :: Requesting Feedback
so, few future ideas I'm thinking about for this mode. Let me know what you guys things.

First is to add some PVP specific features. Here are the ideas.

IDEA #1
  • FOCUS :: PVP / Balance for Recover Items on death
  • REASON / JUSTIFICATION :: I'm not really into PVP, mostly because of the aspect of losing everything you worked hard for. Thought of this idea to balance that out, but keep in mind i don't PVP, so need feedback.
  • DETAILS :: have the ability for server admins to define a set number of items that when dieing, that X number of items will drop/stay behind to be looted. This way PVP servers can have the auto-loot there inventory, but knowing that PVP can still lose items, but not leaving you helpless.
    • Could be configured to pull a random X number of items.
    • Could be configured to pull from either inventory, equipped, or both (this way you can protect your equipped but leave your inventory vulnerable. )
    • Could be configured for a range of X number of items, meaning randomly pick the count of how many to leave behind.

  • Would this be useful?? :: UNKNOWN, need feedback.

IDEA #2
  • FOCUS :: Recover tamed Dinos Inventory
  • REASON :: Well it's simple. We don't want to lose dinos inventory in the field. if we can recover ours, why not a method to recover the dinos as well.
  • DETAILS :: Thinking of some method to be able to recover tamed Dinos inventory that's in the field. This way if the tamed dino gets killed, you can still recover there items. Thinking of a chest or some sort that you access to have the ability to pull all tribe dinos inventory to it. There isn't a lot of separation what tribe vs player when it comes to dinos so limited, but what are some ideas/methods?


any other ideas / requests, please post them below. thanks!

Hi,
first of all thx for making this mod.
The one feature i would really like to see is some kind of filter to tell the mod what items to pick up or to blacklist certain items from being picked up. So that you can for example specify not to pick up all those stone tools and fiber armor.
I have no idea how hard this would be to implement or if it is doable at all, but if you can do it would be awesome.

thanks for the feedback. I'll be honest with you, I can't stand making GUI interfaces. but I'll look into methods of giving options and will consider this ability.

Adding the Loot-to-dino vs loot-to-player option to menu popup would be cool. Also a setting for looting red bags vs green bags would be nice, since sometimes I drop a ton of items but still want to loot the dino drops.

We added this mod to our family server, it is one of the best mods we have, after Annunaki. I do not have any suggestions for changes as we feel it is perfect as is, I just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate your work.

One thing that has always bugged me is when I die I have recreate all my inventory folder. Would it be possible to keep folders after death as well as keep items that were in those folders in place?

the death recovery part of this mod was moved out into a separate one due to users asking for it to be seperate for stand alone mod. dont' think you need to worry about that based on that info.

could you add an .ini option to disable poop pickup? I get way too much poop in my inventory when I'm fighting a bunch of dinos...THANKS for the awesome mod!!

I moved those ini enable/disable features over to the gui so that admins don't need to mess with INI settings and restart server etc, to take affect. simply hold G for 5 secs and you should see a prompt for a gui.. once you see that, release G and it will pop up. the GUI is talored for end users with quick action buttons.. but for admins you also have the ability to enable/disable features.
