backups do not include any skins in inventory. also did not get stone pick from hot bar

I think this mod causes a perpetual unlabeled white mark on the corner of the HUD, like the sort usually reserved for windstorms, etc. Maybe a visible buff as a result of a cooldown for a timed incremental backup?

We didn't have it before installing this mod, but now it's present on players HUDs and nothing else is installed that could be causing it. Is there any way to disable the HUD icon?

Yeah, I had the buff icon enabled for the mod. I plan to not like re-work, but also like change around a decent little bit of the mod soon.

Hey there. :D I have an issue on my cluster with the backup mod only backing up certain items and not entire inventories, do you have any advice or is this an actual bug? Most food items and armor are in the backups but any dinos, weapons, tools, etc are not showing up. Thanks in advance. :D

No one has reported it so far.
What mods and or items is it?
The mod automatically doesn't save any engrams, items that can't normally be removed (admin stuff usually), any initial spawn items (like all the skins), and any items marked as skins.
(granted, things marked as skins may want to be kept, since some skins aren't initial spawn stuff, but thats a whole like 5 items that I know about.)

We use Dino Storage, so soul trapped dinos. And then just vanilla weapons. If I force a backup, that backup will contain it. But the automatic backups only contain the worn armor and food items.

Great mod, been testing it out on a test server both as admin and regular player.

Forced backups and on player login works, but no periodic backups.

Tried first without adding ini, then tried forcing it to 10 or 1 minutes, been idling for hours, adding/removing things from inventory then idling for hours after and not a single automatic backup as regular player or admin.

Anything I can try my side? Already tried with this as only mod to rule out other mods messing with it (no plugins as it's a Linux server)

I'll have to check my logic.
I did update it recently, so perhaps I broke the periodic backups by accident. lol

(if it helps) periodic backups are working ok on mine, they also contain soul trapped dinos. I dont specify and INI options so its just default

Thx for the quick fix on periodic individual backups.
Had time to look through backups it takes and none of them seem to backup cryopodded creatures (all vanilla, no mods)
Doesn't back up all armor either especially primitive flak crafted from engram.
Unable to search for any survivors (that are online ofc), but clicking their name works fine.
No rush at all on my part just wanted to report it :)
Regards Steven

The cryopods, and flak not backing up is quite odd. I'll check that out.
What do you mean by "Unable to search for any survivors (that are online ofc), but clicking their name works fine." You can only search via steamID, unless I broke that too. lmao

most stuff from omega isnt in the backup like the kibble , the sedatives , the souls , tranqs etc.. and i know there are some more things outside of omega but for sure the omega stuff is missing which sucks if u only have omega ;-)

Inventory Backup options are not appearing the escape menu after a full wipe and reinstall of the mod.

Please add the items back in where we can open the interface.
oddstan Oct 16, 2022 @ 2:24am

Have a few things being reported with the ReturnItems=True since the update

1st) it's returning the implants to player inventory and not allowing removal
2nd) On some players it's not returning items at all on death and deleting the player cache bag

This is the player report using this on my Omega Server:

"Started boss fights with Quelth on a doedic absorbing.
I was on foot using aoe storm
I died to what i think was a teleport dino moving me out of absorb.
on spawning i instantly died to a boss (close by spawn point)
After this i did not recieve my stuff at all
Every time ive died after this my corpse is either gone (dino eating) or empty. Not even a specimen implant.
I have since died with things in my inventory to: Dino kill / Fall damage / temperature
The recovered corpse by grimlet with a scorpion in it was a corpse made roughly 10 minutes later.
Im guessing you either find the entire inventory or nothing at all. Standout pieces easy to see are godlike flakboots 140% magic find and a moschops named Baron Floppatron. 4 pieces of the vengence set. not the boots. between 5-7 pygmy basilisk
I had a guesstimate of 70 slots in my inventory so far som slotcaped"

Not sure if any of the above makes sense or if it's just some weird compatibility thing. Going to do a rollback on the server and change some of the other settings like removing global timer and the interval setting override and letting those be default.
