@Steven the BP path only works for items, I'm still looking into how I can add modded dinos
To allow cross server data sharing I need to write an API which is far beyond the scope of this project

Might also be interesting to allow a toggle feature in the dino addition when you add them to select if the dino is nutered or not.

Would be an incredible feature addition if you could add different tabs into the pack section for like
[Tools] [Dinos] [Skins] [Tributes] [Kibble] to make them easier to sort through rather then jut 1 big scroll wheel.

Would really like to see an option to neuter dinos

Another addition that would be really great would be like a logging system of purchases within the admin menu section of the store just to monitor who buys what and how often, etc.

Hey there! Any plans on adding a way to be able to pay other players ARc? Or maybe have any sort of phisical representation of ARc? For server events or player trades? Amazing MOD so far! Keep up! :)

Hello TimmyCarbine, I would like to say thank you for this fantastic mod. Im grateful there are players like you out there passionate enough to take the time to write mods like this and share it with the community.

I was wondering if it would be possible to allow players to turn in items for a configurable amount of ARc as a reward.

For example, on my server I have alphas .ini settings turned up pretty high so they are quite dangerous and tough to kill. Lets say a player kills an alpha carno, the carno always drops an alpha carno arm. Could the player then exchange the alpha carno arm at the TC's Auto Reward vault for a configurable amount of ARc set by an admin?

The same idea could apply to boss trophies, other body parts dropped by dinos, player specimen i.d.'s for pvp purposes, etc. I understand this is a big if, but i think it would be a very cool feature if its possible.

@Sabob Thank you for the kind words, comments like that make it worth while.

I really like this idea especially if you have really difficult Alphas, however I have a couple of issues; 1, if I did implement such a feature where you could trade in alpha trophies / boss trophies for ARc it would open the doors for users to complain that they can't trade in other items like black pearls or worse wood. I really don't want to encroach on what Ghaz is doing with Auction House. 2. Time is my only other concern here; this would actually be quite a big task which I don't really have time for just yet.

As of right now I probably won't do something like this but I do like the idea and will keep it in mind for later on if time permits. In the next update (not this one coming but the next) I'm going to make ARc have a physical presence which only admins will be able to spawn in or add to packs. This might be a rough work around for you. I know it's not automated like your idea and would require an admin to make the exchange but it might be something to think about.

Cheers

Loving the new Logs feature and glad you added it. Does or could the mod register who applies points to a player and how many points were given? It'd also be interesting if there was support for ARKAPI2.0 permission system where you could give a group an admin perm to be able to access the administration panel or some sort of file like the AllowedCheaterSteamIDS file that lets you give admin permission to a player without having to actually give them complete control over your server with the default admin system (theres way to many bad commands in ark like reset/etc for me to really put faith in an admin nuking the server by wiping it by accident or something lol) but it'd be nice if mods started adding support for ARKAPI2.0's permission plugin. If you're unaware of what i mean by ARKAPI then https://arkserverapi.com/resources/ark-server-api.4/ here is a link.
and https://arkserverapi.com/resources/permissions.12/ is what i mean by "permissions through arkapi"

If the server happens to have auction house on the server then they can use his currency exchange npc to convert x amount of items to ARc soo a hard currency would be nice if they can like say "consume to add points/Withdraw to hard currency/etc"

Hi, Just an idea. Love how everything works so far, has made so much easier on my server. Not just for rewards. Currently use it for setting up PvP events and distributing kits...

I was wondering if There was a way so you could configure dinos in the rewards to specify stat levels.. ie the levels the dino receives before its "tamed"... I'd like to put an option for harvesting dinos, like an anky.. that is great for melee harvesting, but garbage for other things like health.

not sure if its doable, but i've seen how you've allowed specific durability/damage and didn't know that was doable so thought I'd ask


Secondly a smaller thought, very situational, but was wondering if it would be possible to make it so certain packs had a configurable cost not using Arcs. the example I want to use is for speed saddles mod. Ideally the speed saddles not be craftable, but if you craft a vanilla saddle. You can trade it through the reward vault for a speed saddle of the same type..

Timmy, it's me again! I loved that you are planning on adding the physical representation of ARc, and I've noticed playing around with the mod that you can give ARc in the reward menu by having a pack cost negative ARc, also you can have it give Negative items, or resources... But if the resources are negative It will just give you the ARc and not require the safe's inventory to have the resources needed to fullfill the "cost" for the ARc... Is there a possibility for you to tweak that so you can easly do what @Sabob suggested above?
Great work so far, keep it up! :)

Ini Settings to reward players points based on killing configureable dinos
[TCs Auto Rewards]
DinoPointReward=(DinoNameTag="Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/Spider-Large/SpiderL_Character_BP_Medium.SpiderL_Character_BP_Medium", Reward:"10",MinLevel:"1",MaxLevel:"120"),(DinoNameTag="Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/Spider-Large/SpiderL_Character_BP_Easy.SpiderL_Character_BP_Easy", Reward:"10",MinLevel:"1",MaxLevel:"120")

I was just having this thought while talking with my admin on my server. Is it possible to do a randomizer with different rarities for saddles, armor, and weapons? Basically a loot box with different gear inside.

@TimmyCarbine Hey, would it be possible at all for you at in Reward Packs that are only Claimable after a certain period of time has pasted after last claiming it?

For Example: I want to set it where someone can claim 100 Metal Ingots once ever 24 hours for a certain amount of points.
LaPatron Jun 8, 2018 @ 11:34pm 
hay, maybe you can add a player search function, its hard to search for a player when there are more then 200 registerd^^
