Is there a way to customize the background? I would suggest to make the torpor drain rate in the left side-corner of the torpor ar, like in red color the text " (2,5/s) "

Hi i sent you a friend request . Could you accept it id like to ask for a mod for my own cluster. Thanks

This Mod really is awesome, however I did come up with a feature that at least I and friends of mine miss in it. It would be cool to be able to NOT see the absolute numbers of the targeted creature, rather showing just the %HP and Torpor. That would make using this mod together with other mods like Primal Fear e.g. very interesting and much more challenging, since you wont know the absolute number of HP your target has which can play spoiler alert in some cases.

Is the better mod for spyglass i had never see!
Ademon 14 Dec, 2022 @ 3:32pm 
Oh and also I'd like to be able to look at a supply crate and get its # / 100 timer(health) but NOT show the contents. Is this configuration possible?
Ademon 14 Dec, 2022 @ 3:29pm 
I like this mod, thank you for your work KAVAN.
I'm wondering if I'm just not understanding the options correctly, but I would like the option to NOT show the current hitpoint bar. I'm mostly just interested in minimalistic use of the mod to get Wild Dino stats. Essentially when looking at a Wild all I'd like to see is the stats, gender, level, species.

Oh man I already love this mod, but it only worked until I changed the settings. After that the spyglass got unequipped from my hotbar, and then worked like a consumable (even had the consume(E) option). No equipping animation, no zooming in, it would only work when standing super close to the dino. Unsubscribing and re-subscribing did nothing.

This mod looks so damn good, I just wish it would work for me :(

Hello :)

Thank you for this wonderful mod. It feels just right to be able and hold the spyglass in order to use it!

Is there a way to remap the keybindings perhaps? Cause i use R instead of E for all the actions so i kinds need my R :>

BEST SPYGLASS MOD EVER! Thanks a lot for all the activable options... =D

Today I found out that Eco has left the modding, because toxic people harass her day in and out with negativity about her mods and it has broken her. It makes me sad to hear and I hope she gets better soon.

I just wanted to say that me, my brother and nephew love and appreciate ALL the work you do for the modding community for Ark. I wish more people would tell all of you modders that what you are doing is great! And not complain and bitch about things you get for free.

Thank you! I hope you never feel bad about your modding.

Oh, and also: fck toxic people they can go off and die in a corner.

Love the mod, but the taming food amount is waaaay off. Anyway I can fix that? I'm on singleplayer and I just use official settings.
heusmich 10 Apr, 2022 @ 1:44pm 
@KAVAN: OK, thanks for the info.
KAVAN  [author] 10 Apr, 2022 @ 4:29am 
@heusmich
The settings listed in the Options UI that is opend by press Alt+F9 or using the console and with this command "cheat scriptcommand cspyglasssettings"
in multiplayer only an admin can change these and they are the same for every player.
heusmich 9 Apr, 2022 @ 2:30am 
Is it possible for all players to edit the data that will be shown with the spyglass by themselfes or is there a possibility to edit it once by an admin and then copy it to all servers in our cluster so that the players can´t edit it?
We don´t want to make all data available for the players.
Kai 21 Sep, 2021 @ 6:26am 
Is it possible to change Shift+C to something else? I like to be able to use c attacks while holding the spyglass.
mxforlife 15 Sep, 2021 @ 8:36am 
Thank you very much for the update. No more resetting all the settings all the time :)

Is there a reason why Oxygen and Food is shown in a different order then in the inventory? (Other then that Orionsun's ancient Super Spyglass had it mixed up like that.) I at least would appreciate if they could be moved to be in the same order as in the inventory.
[RnBw] Eclipso' 8 Sep, 2021 @ 11:13am 
The UI moves down even if I'm not holding ALT.
Whenever I use the "Down" arrow, it tells me that the UI has been moved down 10px on the Y axis.
mxforlife 6 Sep, 2021 @ 3:10am 
It seems the UI for the settings are active even when it is not shown on screen. I have several times gotten the text informing me that the display delay have been changed just as you get when you click those buttons in the UI. It probably explains my earlier problems with all the settings resetting randomly. :steamsad:
I also notice the cursor jumping to the center of the screen at random when in the inventory or having any UI open. That problem goes away when I remove this mod.
sashahellsing 20 Aug, 2021 @ 6:35pm 
each time i open the UI options i have to exit the game to get rid of it as it wont close
BJDware 31 Jul, 2021 @ 2:21am 
Is it just me, or cant whistle out of range flyers with this spyglass?
mxforlife 28 Jul, 2021 @ 3:47am 
I love that you can configure this spyglass to NOT show stats on wild dinos but still show them on tamed. I can't understand why none of the other spyglass mods can do that.
But I do have a couple of issues with this mod. It seems to forget my settings randomly while I play. It's the Spyglass UI Size, Crosshair Size and Show Crosshair settings that it forgets. And it happens while I play, not on save/load. Just randomly while I'm playing the UI resets to 100% or the Crosshair dissapears or gets reset to max size. I have had the colors change randomly but that is very rare.
Also the setting for if the crosshair should be shown does not seam to load corretly. It shows in the config screen as it should be shown after every load. But I have to uncheck and recheck it for the crosshair to actually show.
BastogneTBC 13 Jul, 2021 @ 5:56pm 
I shut down the server and did a line by line compare, The sections on the genesis game.ini were out of order compared to all the other servers. I rearranged it, restarted and everything is working.
BastogneTBC 13 Jul, 2021 @ 1:53pm 
Having an odd issue on Gen1 map, I have 9 servers running, all work as expected except Gen1. I am not able to get the spyglass to work. The location window opens, but the dino data window will not. I have unsubbed, deleted the mod folder , deleted mod folder on server, re-subbed, downloaded new copy to server, still exact same results. any idea, what I am missing?
ctmtank420 16 Jun, 2021 @ 4:43pm 
So I installed in singleplayer and can look and change settings, I can not see dino levels or anything? I can see the compass but no dino info, what am I doing wrong
Frost 6 Jun, 2021 @ 4:37am 
Bug Report: When on Crystal Isles; aiming at Heirs does not state that they are an Heir in the spyglass stat which results in going near them thinking "oh its passive tame" (like their counterpart) and end up getting murdered because they're an Heir instead of a regular wyvern.

Hi Kavan! An amazing mod you've put together here. Keep up the amazing work!

Now, I wouldn't be a real user if I didn't throw a suggestion your way. And yeah.. sorry. :lunar2019piginablanket:

But if there is a chance/a way to add a slider/a way to config how far the outlines are tracked? If so, that would be amazing.

Right now, I really like that you can set the range for the spyglass itself and all the other amazing features, but I can't seem to make the "outline reach" any shorter. I'm guessing thats not a feature, unless I am the regular old clueless self and just missed something. :steamhappy:
Natsu 16 May, 2021 @ 10:57pm 
For some reason the UI doesnt show in full for me ?

neh4pres 15 May, 2021 @ 11:38pm 
can you please make this show stat points.. much more useful for breeding
tiaramisu 14 Apr, 2021 @ 5:02pm 
hey there again <3 , is it possible to make it only work into tamed dinos not into wild ones? like not even showing the hp?
Keishara 13 Apr, 2021 @ 5:22pm 
Hey there, been a while. :)
It seems that after todays update the spyglass started to bug out quite a bit.
It's been loosing alot of my settings completely randomly several times, can't tell what triggers it unfortunately. But I've been out killing dinos the entire time, and sometimes after being in my inventory or tabbed out for a little, I come back to the spyglass settings being kinda of reset.
My UI placement on the screen seems to remain, but crosshair, coords, colors of UI and all that just disappears.
I also get spammed with the close delay message alot when fighting for some reason.

Also, for a future update, I was hoping it would be possible to include Tamed Dino Name as well as Class Name for dinos when looking at tamed dinos. :D
Thanks for still caring for this mod!

@Habinero
Thx for the report.
Habinero 13 Apr, 2021 @ 8:45am 
Great mod! by far my favorite spyglass, Since the latest update the Lock and Stat Dock doesn't work on my server. Single player has no issue. I host on my own server and have completely reinstalled the mod on the server.
KAVAN  [author] 13 Apr, 2021 @ 6:41am 
@Tiaramisu
Yes as an admin you can set the settings that effect gameplay and those will be used by everyone. All the settings in the first screenshot are all admin only.
tiaramisu 13 Apr, 2021 @ 6:02am 
as an admin can i set some settings so everyone uses those? i kinda want to add it to my server but i intend to only make it work for tamed dinos
Really Rilee 23 Mar, 2021 @ 7:50am 
Just wanted to report a bug: when your spyglass is in ui style 1 and you try to move the ui (alt+arrow keys), if it isn't at 0, it won't show the placard when targeting a creature. Moving the ui with ui style 2 worked just fine though.
自渡 24 Feb, 2021 @ 8:14am 
can you tell me what is the principle of preservation?
Grumpy 8 Jan, 2021 @ 3:05pm 
Thanks for the mod, I recently switched to it for my 9 maps cluster. Members are enjoying it. Fish food taming amount are off tho. Not a big deal, just a constructive report. Keep up the good work <3
bryanjonker 26 Dec, 2020 @ 2:08am 
love this mod but can you please me sure i also works on crystal isles?
SB 30 Oct, 2020 @ 10:02pm 
I love this SPYGRASS mod the most.
I can't see Glowbug's information on the Aberration map.
Glowbug reacts on the ground, even if he is in the air.
Other SPYGRASS mods and the vanilla SPYGRASS are getting the information.
Can you please confirm this?
SnoX' 1 Oct, 2020 @ 4:17pm 
is there a way to increase the outline range? i've set it to max but the outlines are still on low range
KAVAN  [author] 29 Sep, 2020 @ 4:26am 
@Papa Ark Thx for letting me know. I will take a look at it.
Papa Ark 26 Sep, 2020 @ 10:41pm 
Required food for taming is incorrect. Shows double the amount of what it's supposed to be. Any way to fix that?
Crast™ 26 Aug, 2020 @ 1:57pm 
You could really optimize this by having one shortcut key to open a SINGLE UI to configure everything and maybe another shortcut key to toggle between the modes. Having two modes with two sets of options for each is overly complex and then trying to figure out all the shortcut keys which tends to conflict with other mods and programs is a nightmare.
goops 24 Aug, 2020 @ 8:59am 
The Alt-C config menu gets stuck on-screen for me and seems impossible to remove? If I press alt-c again it creates another copy on top
KAVAN  [author] 24 Aug, 2020 @ 7:38am 
Update Info:

The Dinos color option now also shows the colors ID.
A list of all the Color IDs can be viewed here [ark.gamepedia.com].
Vas 21 Aug, 2020 @ 6:14pm 
No, it wasn't equipped. It was simply in the hotbar. I was attacking things without the interface popping up on everything. It just suddenly stopped me in the middle of my battle and prevented me from attacking things with an invisible interface open. I think its got a few too many features for my liking. I'd just like a spyglass that can zoom the way this does.
KAVAN  [author] 21 Aug, 2020 @ 2:05pm 
@Zylo You can make the UI smaler if you scale down the ark you in the game settings. And for UI v2 you cant have the coords integrated.

@Vas If you have the activated the spyglass that you dont need to hold it could have been equiped without you noticing.
