Would it be possible to make it so a user can change a hotkey from ingame, such as how it works in the 'personal waypoints' mod (And a couple others I've messed with over the years)- It basically has an initial key press, with a settings button on the popup that lets you select what F key to use, and another uses a combination of I think shift key + E or something to open a similar menu. Is this mod made in such a way that it can't be done in game or was that just the method you went with? I'll be honest I'd never seen a mod have users edit an ini on their end before which is pretty neat, but I also have a number of players who aren't as savvy with editing that kind of thing. If it could be made for players to do it in game, it might be easier on such folks! Regardless though this mod is doing some really cool things, I like that I don't have to keep checking my bags to know how many of any given thing I've got!

I had the same Problem as PotatoOverlord (DebugExecBindings in the input.ini).
After playing around a bit, i checked the ini again, and suddenly had all the ActionMappings in it.
I am not sure what fixed it, but this is my best guess.. maybe it helps someone:

I never changed any hotkey in the game before, but recently i hade some adjustment to the hotkeys for the whistle commands.
Maybe the ActionMappings are only placed in the input.ini after the user makes any changes to the keybindings ingame.

That's the entire contents of the file? I'm pretty sure the input file is created when you install ark and it contains all your hotkeys(whistles, etc).

Well, assuming you're in the right place, on the client NOT the server, the code goes in a section like this:

[/script/engine.inputsettings]
ActionMappings=(ActionName="ToggleResourceTracker",Key=R,bShift=False,bCtrl=True,bAlt=False,bCmd=False)

I'd double check the directory, make sure you got the right place first.

When i went to Input.ini i don't see "ActionMappings" i only see DebugExecBindings

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I did not realize that that type of file is a notepad, and editable. :D

You just need to edit the file with notepad. It's there by default, we're just adding a line to it:

Thank you. I know how to get to the folder, but how do I add that text? Do I create a new text document, rich text document, etc. and paste it in there?

I'm going to assume you're playing singleplayer. Subscribe and enable the mod in the Active Mods list before entering the world.

You then need to open: input.ini
Located here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

And stick this in the section with other ActionMappings: ActionMappings=(ActionName="ToggleResourceTracker",Key=F1,bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False)

Hi. I am new to Ark and mods, and don't understand how to add the config list above, as it is not a "configuration settings" type of file to be copied and pasted into the "WindowsNoEditor" folder. :( I have added mods for Sims before, but that's usually a downloadable file to click and drag into my mods folder.

There are instructions in the description as well as an example.

how do i set my hotkey?

Genius!!
