Known Bugs

Below is a list of known bugs. Please take a moment to read through these before reporting new bugs or asking for help.

Bug - Homing Pigeon Parcel Cloning.
Status: https://trello.com/c/xiBz5FrF

Cause:
Being able to split the stacks when the Homing Pigeon Skin is applied.

Temporary Workaround:
None. Or rather, don't do it :steamhappy:.

Bug - Can't equip certain items when Homing Pigeon Parcel skin is removed.
Status: https://trello.com/c/dsLpoFLZ

Cause:
Currently unknown.

Temporary Workaround:
Drop the item in question on the ground and pick it up again. The item will now be equippable.

Bug - Equipped costume icon not visible in flyer HUD for flyers who used the Homing Pigeon Bird Seed following server restart.
Status: https://trello.com/c/w1zjSmyn

Cause:
Unknown. Getting costume slots to work on flyers who wouldn't normally have them is a bit of a hack at best anyway. This bug only affects dedicated servers.

Temporary Workaround:
The item is in fact there, the UI is simply not updating to reflect that. Equip another item to the costume slot to unequip the current item. The UI will correctly update and you'll be able to use the originally equipped costume.

Basically this is a UI bug and has no impact on the actual functionality of the costume, including the Homing Pigeon Leg Ring.

Bug - Flyer sometimes "wanders" or is "jittery/rubber-banding" after reaching a destination
Status: https://trello.com/c/idSmWehr

Cause:
Currently unknown. Possible underlying game bug.

Temporary Workarounds:
- Cancel Flight from the "Recall to Flag UI"
- Whistle Stop when targeting the flyer (Shortcut key "Y")
- Upload and Download from Obelisk
- Server Restart

Bug - Quetz/Wyvern sometimes heads to 50/50 instead of returning to flag
Status: https://trello.com/c/8snD4q0j

Cause:
Currently unknown. Possible underlying game bug.

Temporary Workaround:
None. Advise equipping trackers to Quetz/Wyverns to be on the safe side.

I can't "buy" the homing pigeon flag when I try to learn it, nor can I spawn it using the command.

Hi just to let you know the ring doesn't show up in the Joan's Bulk Crafters smithy, even when trying your mod is the 1st slot

@kdenlife Minimum level is level 35 for the engrams because that is the earliest level you can learn the Pteranodon saddle at. If you are higher level than that, and you have sufficient engram points can you please post some details about your setup.

What version of ARK are you running? What other mods are you running? Which order is Homing Pigeon stacked in?

@Data0002 Thanks for letting me know. I am not familiar with that mod, but I assume it is not clean and modifies the core data in some way? I'll have to reach out to the developer to find out more information.

I'm running Ark Version 237.4 and I was running some test on this mod and when I renamed the flag and killed myself purposely the flags went back to default name, not letting me know which flag the flyer flew to.

I am running V237.4 server with no other mods on it. My character is lvl 65 and I have 25 free engram points available.

I am currently investigating this bug. I have added it to the known bugs above. Will look to resolve soon.

Can you confirm that the mod is running? Press 'Esc' in game and look at the description text below the menu options. You should see the following text if the mod has been activated for use:

Mod: Homing Pigeon
Mod Description: You die. They fly.

Yes that is correct. Do you have any other mods running on the server? I suspect one of those modifies or remaps the Argent in some way that my costume restrictions (which currently targets the classname of the flyer) is not working. I have a possible solution to the bug, but it would help if you could confirm whether you are using any other mods and what the stack order of your mods is.

I am having the problem that i also can't equip the ring in the costume slot.
The problem occurs with all flyers. Not with one specific.
Our server is up to date. The mod is correctly installed as far as i can judge.

We do have a whole bunch of mods running and so far all other mods seem to run fine.
I could imagine some mod conflicting since we have a few that are related to dino's.
Maybe sorting loading order would help? I tried different orders already but so far no luck. You might can give me a tip there what combination it could be so i can try reordering?

Here is a link to an list we made for our users:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Wd7WjkQ4j3Ir89RmJKmXr0Wiv4qsg2OEYWRUgO4o8FU/edit?usp=sharing

The list atm is not equal to the loadorder. If you want me to copy the loadorder let me know.
This is more or lest the order that we added mods in the past. So it is easier for users to track what is new.

Thanks for the info, this bug will be one of the first I will look at. I haven't investigated it yet, but I am guessing that because I am restricting the equip based on dino class name, if you're running another mod that remaps/overwrites the classname to something else, this is why you can't attach it.

If I'm correct with that, then the fix should be relatively straight forward, as I will change it to target the dino by tag instead. That way it should still be compatible with other dino mods, providing that those mods are still using the default tag names for the dinos that they have remapped.

@Wizzy you mean the Natural Wildlife mod?
#13
Spirit Apr 2, 2016 @ 3:12am 
Yes, it seems that 'Natural Wildlife' is causing the bug that the Homing Pigeon Leg Ring cannot be equipped ie. put into the costume slot.

Awesome i can confirm. Removed the mod on my testserver and it worked.
For now will wait for PommieGamer his fix but otherwise removing the natural wild life since people seem to really want this mod over natural wildlife if they conflict. So PommieGamer give us please a headsup if the conflict can be solved. Thanks for all the effort.
