Also, for mod ID - you can just select the SHARE button. It shows the MOD ID for every Mod ever created that way. Simple.

Having seen @Yahoihoi's recommendation, I got Dino Storage V2 before I started playing in earnest with Rare Sightings. I did a test on a tame I didn't much care about, a carno of some kind. It had a short black mohawk before it went into the soul ball, and when it came out, the hair became dark red feathers on either side of its head. I'd say store these critters with the expectation that some feature will be altered.

Does anyone know what the EngramEntry and item path names are for the tracker? I'd like to tweak the engram level requirement and crafting costs for the tracker, or else at least be able to spawn it in.

@ParaDyce you can use the dino storage v2 mod for this. I can confirm. Got a horned Thyla and it kept the horns when released. Try it with a not so cool rare, just in case. Hope that helps. :)

For anyone Curious, this is the Mod ID 1573454165

Quick warning to anyone using the Rare sightings mod.
Do not, legit don't use a cryopod on the unique ones like scaled mammals and stuff or it will completely wipe the cosmetic, you will keep the colour but the cosmetic will be gone.
So if you get, say a Green scaled Procoptodon, (As I did) and you put it in a Cryo pod to ship it, you will just get a green Procoptodon back with normal hair, just a warning for those trying to get the coolest animals if you want to keep them the way they are you have to get them back by walking or carrying.

@dark_ronnie he really doesn't need to put the mod Id if you look at the top of the page in lime green it says at the end of the URL the mod id you just have to look

@dark_ronnie

1573454165 :)

dark_ronnie :: it's not me assuming that you or anyone else is techsavvy. it's assuming that anyone with internet access knows how to use a standard search engine. Here is a link to help you in case you don't. the first result is a guide created from 2016 (4 years ago) that is 100% still valid : https://lmgtfy.app/?q=how+to+find+Ark+Mod+Id&iie=1

Temil2006: your response about mod ID does indeed make you sound like an ass... it takes you 30seconds to write down the ID, but for those of us who aren't that techsavvy it takes a lot longer to find out how you can find the ID when the creator has not been so forthcoming..... that said thank you for your work on the mod, i real enjoy it, just dont assume everyone knows everything you know please....

Cool tip about using a web browser to find a mod ID. I have only ever used the steam client to find mods, and hence I had never seen a URL link to a mod. Thank you.

the mod scans rare sightings just fine but it doesnt want to stay on the screen it like buggs out and keeps closeing and or we get locked in our action bars and have to hit escape to do anything

Would be nice to have the dinos in alphabetical order, and a search bar :) thanks for the mod

There is a weird issue, if you have a normal GPS and one of these in your inventory it activates both GPS' as well as when you try and put it away it opens the map. and if you try close the map with "M" it just pulls out the GPS, and vica versa. And the only way to get rid of it, is to take out another item in your hotbar.

maybe, not sure.. maybe try placing this last on your mod list? doesn't need to be top of the list. if you have other unclean / non-stack friendly mods installed, maybe there is a conflict, but again.. not sure.

@CoyodiSoul not sure what would be causing it other then this mod, a conflict maybe? the moment i took it off my list it went up by a solid 30 fps and down again when i tested with it back on.

R4skall :: that doesn't make any since. I really think it's something else unrelated, because the mod does nothing at all untill you left click with the item in hand. without that, there is no scanning, no actions, nothing at all happening.

@CoyodiSoul i like the idea of this mod but my game lags massively when i have this mod on. Its literally a 30 fps difference for some reason

the UI poping up for all should have been fixed.

Maybe work it off a buff so owning player is very easily gettable? Really want this mod as it would be so very convenient, but can't have UIs popping up all the time when not prompted. Hope you find time to work on it! I'll be stalking :p

sounds like the GUI might be applying to all players instead of just the owners. I won't have time till this weekend to look into and fix if that's the case, but based on your explanation, sounds like that is the case. sorry about the issue and the delay.. work, kids, holidays, it's all stacking up =/ . but i'll get on a soon

I have never had the X, but my wife did. She hadn't even built it. I had built it and works great, but the X appeared for her. I hasn't done that to her yet today. Hard to figure out. Love the mod though. I activate it by left click and it works fine.

We did some testing today on my private server. If I activate the GPS tracker with left click, the X appears on the screen of all connected users. This is 100% repeatable.

TO fix the x on the screen press tab to open console and click on the x once or twice with your mouse!

I was able to bring up the console and click the X twice and it went away. Quite a while before I built the tracker a friend was complaining of an X on his screen. We didn't put together what the cause of the X was until after I learned the engram, started seeing the X, then built the tracker and saw the GUI. I'm certain it showed up before I crafted the item, and it showed up for a 3rd user on the server who I was in discord chat with. He said it had worked fine yesterday evening then started showing up around the same time I saw it. Not sure what to tell you beyond that. I'll update if it reoccurs regularly.

Moodog :: is that for all users or only sometimes? if you press TAB to bring up the console, can you close it as the console activates the mouse?

sometimes that can occur if you use he item extreamly quickly multiple times, as the game can't keep up with the action and causes 2 GUIs to apear, one that works and one that doesn't, but there is nothing on the leaning of the engram at all that would cause that. The engram learning is 100% in the standard game. Nothing new is applied at all till you "use" the item.

When running this mod on my server we're seeing the "X" that closes the tracker on screen even when the tracker is not in use. I think it appeared as soon as I learned the engram.

@Temil2006 100% agree!
I mean... it's not hard to find at all xD

ID is 1573454165 ... but I will be honest, instead of asking , I kind of wish users would learn how to locate it via the URL. I mean, I'm not trying to be an ass or anything, but seriously, hours of work on these mods, and the users always ask for the IDs, which takes 30secs to obtain. just kind of a slap in this. .face, there you go. ;)

Mod ID please?
