Description
MOD ID:
2367597137

A few new hotkeys for players to make the game more user-friendly. If added to an existing save, players will have to die and respawn (bed teleport may work) before the changes take effect.


Features:
  • **NEW** Implementation of a “Flyer Seatbelt” – automatically engages only when mounted on a flyer that is actively flying. Tapping the use button while flying will no longer instantly dismount you -- press and hold the Use button (E) for 1 second or longer to dismount from a flying dino. When the flyer is landed, or if on a non-flyer dino, dismount should function as normal. This seatbelt feature can be disabled with an ini option.
  • Hotkey to make your character automatically follow another player. Simply look at the desired leader and hit the hotkey. Default binding: Numpad *
    ---------------Same rules as autowalk. (Right Shift to run, no stamina considerations)
    ---------------------Will automatically stop if you get too far from the character you’re trying to follow. What’s considered “too far” is configurable.
  • Hotkey to make your character or mount auto-walk forward. Default binding: Numpad /
    -------------Combine with default game option to toggle run, Right Shift, for auto-run.
    ---------------Note there is no built-in stamina considerations.
  • Hotkey to access shoulder-mounted pet's inventory while it's still on your shoulder. Default binding: Alt + F
  • Hotkey to specifically open doors (no more accidental dismounting). Default binding: G
  • Hotkey to make your mount continuously (main) attack. Default binding: (Hold) Alt + Mouse 1
  • Hotkey to make your mount continuously (secondary) attack. Default binding (Hold) Alt + Mouse 2

Important! These keybinds are customizable, but *EACH USER* must edit a file to set what those bindings are. This file is found in your ARK installation folder. The path is (Your steam installation drive)/Ark/Shootergame/Saved/Config/WindowsNoEditor, and the file is “Input.ini” Open that file with any text editor, notepad works fine. Scroll almost to the bottom. There will be many “ActionMappings” and then “AxisMappings” – Add the quoted text below the final ActionMapping and above the first AxisMapping. Save the file, and you’ll be all set. If you want to CHANGE your binding, this is also where to do it. Simply change the relevant binding to whatever you want it to be. I highly recommend keeping a modifier key (i.e. the need to hold Shift, Ctrl, or Alt) in order to reduce conflicts.

ActionMappings=(ActionName="AutoFollow",Key=Multiply,bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False) ActionMappings=(ActionName="AutoWalk",Key=Divide,bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False) ActionMappings=(ActionName="ShoulderInventory",Key=F,bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=True,bCmd=False) ActionMappings=(ActionName="ConstantFire",Key=LeftMouseButton,bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=True,bCmd=False) ActionMappings=(ActionName="ConstantAltFire",Key=RightMouseButton,bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=True,bCmd=False) ActionMappings=(ActionName="MountedDoorOpen",Key=G,bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False)

Ini Config(s):
[AccessTweaks] DoorRange=600 FollowStartDistance=300 FollowStopDistance=1800 FlyerSeatbelt=true
  • DoorRange adjusts the range at which you can trigger doors/gates using this mod’s hotkey. Accepts any number between 0 (off) and 3600. For reference, one foundation = 300. Set to 600 (2 foundation’s distance) by default.

  • FollowStartDistance adjusts when the follower starts moving towards the leader. FollowStopDistance adjusts when the follower stops moving towards the leader.

  • FlyerSeatbelt either enables or disables the need to long-press the Use key to dismount a flying dino. Enabled by default.

Not sure if you're updating this anymore, but the shoulder pet is sort of broken in single player on The Island. I've found if I fast travel between beds it works though, it will work until I exit the game, then repeat fast travel each session.

@plusBrackets Yeah Gen2 has been uncooperative about a lot of mods. I'll see if I can get it working, but it may have to wait until a dev kit update (which can take weeks or months)

Shoulder inventory seems not work in gen2. orz. I play in single mode, and add the code into the ini already.

Interesting. Thanks for letting me know, I'll look into it when I can.

Also, if you're on foot (or mounted with a weapon), you start attacking with left click, and then you hold alt, your character gets stuck attacking continuosly until you press click again. I'm pretty sure that's not the expected behavior.

Ok thanks, it's working now, except for autowalk. It works fine when on foot, but not when mounted. I'm mounting an Iguanodon, and when I press / it doesn't move. However, if I dismount, my character moves forward. Looks like it's activating autowalk for my character and not my mount.

You have to at least copy-paste the provided code into the input.ini, yes. You can use the defaults provided or customize to your liking, but either way the code needs to be inserted.

Do I have to customize the keys before they work? I just installed this, and it's not working for me. I hold ALT + Click but the creatures only attack once. I already died and respawned.

Just subsccribed to the mod and I think it is going to be super useful, but I have a question: anyone know which key bCmd is?

And another mod whose functions should be in the main game from day one. So far only Kraken's Better Dinos had accessing shoulder pet function, but having even more functions make this mod a must have. Also no more mouse torturing with constant clicks haha. Thank you a lot!
