Added a Command Tool
- Similar to original S+ Command Gun, with expanded functionality. Set many dino settings, including name, from a menu and then "shoot" the dino to apply the settings all at once. Create up to five presets. You can deactivate each dino setting to prevent changing those settings.
- Right click a Dino to copy its settings. It will not copy the Neuter/Spay command.
- Right click Preset buttons 1-5 to save a preset. Left click to load.
- The tool will remember its last used settings if put away.

Euthanasia Gun will no longer kill dinos with structures on their saddles.

Small bug fixes for Inventory Assistant and Transfer Tool

Tweaked Valid Item filter for Selector tool, to allow the UT paint removal tools into its menu.

Update: 11 Jul, 2020 @ 2:50pm

Added Transfer Tool and Inventory Assistant. These are just like the original S+ versions, no changes other than name and icon.

New Ini option:
TransferResourceRemovals=
This option works like the S+ PullResourceRemovals option. List each primal item, separated by commas.

Fixed possible issue with Pressure Washer and Paint Scraper leaving Paint Thinner in player inventory.

More dupe fixes for Pickup Gun

Update: 26 Jun, 2020 @ 10:25pm

The Dye Menu on the Paint Sprayer and Paintbrush now works in singleplayer.

The Selector can now load basic consumable items/potions/soups.
The Selector menu now updates stack sizes while it's open.

Pickup gun - Fix/workaround for the bug where picking up one vanilla tek pillar would give back two of them.

Update: 25 Jun, 2020 @ 7:28pm

New tool:
Selector - quickly access 25 of the weapons or tools in your inventory by using the Selector. Place one on your hotbar to use. Save your layout if desired. It works with vanilla and other mod items, not just mine.

Minor tweaks:
Pickup Gun, Demolish Gun, and Remote Tool will now remember what mode they are in if the player logs out or the server reboots.

Upcoming plans:
3 more of the original S+ tools, with possible improvements
Tweaks to existing Useful Tools
Possible new tools

Thanks:
Again, a very huge thanks to ExileAcid and Koz for helping me learn Ark modding!

Update: 10 Apr, 2020 @ 10:33pm

Several improvements for the Pickup and Demolish guns:

- Fixed "Server Admin Can Demolish All" mode for demo gun.

- Added "Server Admin Can Pick Up All" mode for pickup gun.

- The server admin modes of the Pickup Gun and Demolish Gun are both enabled via the existing ini setting:
AllowAdminToDemolishAnyTribe=True

- Improved terrain collision mode. It should now work in Singleplayer. If you find a place where the mode didn't work properly, please provide in the Bug Report section what map you were on, and what coordinates, and if necessary a description of the area.

- Added check for activation rank to pickup gun and demolish gun. You can now restrict tribe members' use of the guns in two ways:
- Set their tribe group to Prevent Demolish.
- Set the Activation Rank on the structure to a number higher than their Activation Rank.
Both guns will now also follow Tribe Structure Governance rules.

- Added additional filters to what the pickup and demolish guns can pickup/destroy, to prevent edge cases such as demolishing death item caches and beaver dams.

- Extra big thanks to Koz for helping me improve the terrain collision mode, and to Default and ExileAcid for helping me diagnose other issues with the guns.

Update: 3 Apr, 2020 @ 3:50pm

Fixed the Euthanasia Gun's Engram so it is craftable in player inventory.

Should be the last update for a while.

Update: 3 Apr, 2020 @ 1:03pm

New Feature for Pickup Gun and Demolish Gun:

Toggle Terrain Collision On/Off
- This is useful if you are using them in situations where they might otherwise "shoot" through the terrain and pick up or demolish something you didn't intend.
- They will remember what mode they're in if you unequip them.
- Toggle the mode with Reload key or X on gamepad

Fixes:
- Icon issues for the Transfer and Euthanasia guns.
- Misc. tweaks to visual feedback of several tools.
- Pick up and Demolish guns will not work if fired too rapidly. This is to help prevent duping.

Update: 2 Apr, 2020 @ 3:02pm

New Tools:

- Transfer Gun - Works like the S+ version. New visuals/effects.

- Remote Control - Works like the S+ Remote Gun. New visuals/effects.

- Repair Tool - Works like the S+ Repair Gun. New visuals/effects.

- Euthanasia Gun - Works like the S+ Euthanasia Gun. New visuals/effects.

Fixes/changes:

- Standardized the range of all tools (except the Paintbrush and Paint Scraper) to be about 10 foundations. This was an increase for many of them.

- Added tooltips for the color buttons in the Dye menu of the paint tools.

- Most tools are usable while riding any dino now, not just specific dinos. Due to technical reasons the following four tools are only usable on dinos that normally allow equipping weapons, such as the Baryonyx, Griffin, etc:
Paint Scraper, Paintbrush, Pressure Washer, and Paint Sprayer

Update: 19 Mar, 2020 @ 5:01pm

New Features:
- Paint Sprayer and Paintbrush have a dye menu to quickly apply dyes.
- Demolish Gun - Separate from the Pickup Gun. Follows same rules as Pickup Gun

Changes/Fixes:
- Reduced number of mist particles on the Pressure Washer to improve visibility while using the gun.

New ini settings:
DisablePickupWhenDamaged - if True, the pickup gun will not pick up damaged structures.
AllowAdminToDemolishAnyTribe - if True, will allow server admins to demolish any tribe's structures.
RequireDyeInInventory - setting this to True will require the player to make dye and have it in their inventory when using the new Dye Menu.

Update: 6 Mar, 2020 @ 4:57pm

- Fixed an issue where disablepickupwhendamaged ini was true by default. It will now correctly be false by default unless you override it by putting disablepickupwhendamaged=True in your Gameusersettings.ini
- Pickup Gun will now pick up S+ Internal Wires and Pipes, with two minor caveats. See Known Issues in Bug Reports discussion.
- Fixed Pressure Washer and Paint Scraper being unable to remove paint from S+ Structures that had Internal Pipes or Wires installed (this was broken by a previous update).
- This should be the last update for a while, while I work on adding more tools. I am thinking of adding a standalone Demolish Gun and a Euthanasia gun next
