Ark Ascended port???

Would be nice to get this Mod in Ark Ascended!!

Will this mod be reworked on ASA?

It still works fine.

If someone have problem with mod, try to remove generic and special types. Installed some hour ago and did not have any lags or ctd for now. And maybe reduce sharing distance, but i hafe default 6k.

Installed this mod and my server froze completely. Bit of a shame as there doesn't seem to be any other mods providing the functionality that this one claims to have

Everything related to gaining experience (xp potions for example) it is also transmitted to allied creatures. I don't think it needs to be eliminated, it's better to configure the server with this feature in mind.

@Cletus this makes sense, considering the way the mod is set up. Depending on the type of xp the RR-Potions mod adds to the dino (I assume it'd be generic, but I don't know for a fact), you might be able to "fix" this issue by excluding it from the ExpShareTypes list.

@Foxtrot no crashes for me. Works like a charm. Doing base game and all DLC ascention run. On extincion now and only had one issue.
RR-Potions mod Dino LVL Potion levels up not only dino it consumes, but all creatures around and PC.
But it's about RR-Potions mod, not Riderless XP.

@BOJangles can you confirm if this still works, or did you only confirm that having the mod activated caused no issues/crashes?

Much appreciated! I'm still using it no problem for now, just wanted to take note of what mods I can remove freely. Have a good one

@BOJangles the mod shouldn't cause any issues after removing.

Is this mod removable without issue?

@Foxtrot i'm still using it without any issue so far, even in fjordur

Hi, did anyone find an alternative to this mod since this is no longer supported?

Hi, sadly I had to uninstall the dev kit due to it's sheer size not fitting on my hard drive, so that means no more updates from me.

I uploaded the source files of the mod though, so hopefully someone will be willing enough to navigate through the mess that is my graphs. :)

Hi i love the mod i just wish it not affecting mek it quite annoying to see those level up notification all the time maybe can you add option to hide it?

Or make item that grant riderless buff when using it in dino inventory instead of giving every tamed one this buff?

Exclusion of specific creatures is not an option as of right now.

is it possible to add an blacklist? i would like to add "dinos" like the gen2 exo-mek which i cant and dont want to level up - but the information i can level up the exo mek is a bit annoying

Fair enough. I could see that being extremely broken, so it's probably better that cryo'ed dinos don't benefit from the buff.

No, cryo'ed dinos do not receive shared experience (at least not intentionally, if it actually does happen :P).

Do dinos get xp through this even when cryo'ed? Feel like I've asked this before, but can't remember.

That is actually most likely the case. I remember having some problems getting the maximum experience "variable" loaded in. I'm going to have a look and see if I can come up with a fix.

I found a bug. I was wracking my brain over trying to decipher which mod was causing it, and having only this loaded, I found the setting OverrideMaxExperiencePointsDino wasn't working. I thought my config was wrong on the server, but I loaded into Singleplayer with no mods,and it was working fine. I singled out mods until I got to yours. It seems that the mod forces a cap of 3550010 xp on Dinos, and doesn't allow it to progress further. Just thought I'd let you know and post here so others who are confused know the reason it's bugging out

My overall impression is that ARK has the, let's say "least meticulous or thorough" development team of any successful game I've ever seen. Minecraft reached this level of popularity with just one guy running it, and was immensely better supported. If it weren't for dedicated modders doing a bunch of stuff that the dev team should have (like decent placement UI from S+, especially) I'd have given up on the game after 25 or so hours of play.

Honestly, I'm not even trying to deny what you previously said, I can't really trust the dev kit for mod testing anymore, seeing as stuff that works in there randomly doesn't once tried in the live game.

Could well be single-player specific. I've noticed a lot of weird differences in single-player mode.

If that is indeed the case, it must be something exclusive to the cooked game/mod. Since from all the testing I have done, the xp over time never triggered the "NotifyExperienceGained" event when debugging. Knowing ark though, not saying it's impossible. lol

Note that "generic" exp is (or at least includes) the xp you get per unit time for just surviving; I think sharing this is causing all the dinos I leave at my base to level up super-frequently. I'd advise most folks to turn sharing of that off.

Yay! It works, finally )

Alright, changed a few things. The sharing should now work with any structure as long as it inherits from the turret/plant turret base class, which s+ hopefully does. If not then I'm not sure how I'd make it work.
tl;dr: another update, might've fixed the issue.

Also added a new config option "TurretExpMultiplier=1.000000", I would advise to first try it out on a testing world to check how much xp you get, since from personal testing it seemed rather very high.

Can't make it work (
No matter what, my megachelon doesn't get exp. Maybe I miss something?

Sharing should now work properly, even when riding a dino. As well as shoulder mounted ones.
If there are any more issues, please do let me know. :)

Hmm, alright, I think I know what the problem is, will try to release a fix asap.
Thanks for the report.

Hmm... Don't see any difference. I have a megachelon with turrets installed on it's back. My player has a max level, so I can't check if he gaining shared exp. But when I riding megachelon and turrets kill anything - no additional exp is gained by it, only passive exp is added. If I unmount and stay near - no additional exp for turrets kills either.
Turrets - S+ tek turret. Radius - high
in config:
[RiderlessXP]
AutoTurretsShareExp=True

I play single player. Thanks!

Added it as an option, although it might not always work properly. But if you play solo or there are no auto turrets owned by other tribes around a 100m (328 ft) radius of the turret killed dino, you won't have to worry about it too much.

Would be great for my Megachelon Devastator Mobile Base :)

Not sure about it "being possible", but I'll certainly have a look and try things out whenever I'll have the time.

Is it possible to gain shared exp from turrets kills?

oh if its for ascended character, I have my main character ascended with max level at 140 and won't be able to gain exp anymore, since I've only done alpha overseer and alpha Rockwell. server setting is max 155 just like official

Testing on that part would be a little more annoying, since you'd actually have to level past that using unmounted dinos to share xp with you to see if it adds anything past the limit, I sort of only realized that after making the comment, though I don't want to make you run tests for me, as that should be my job. :P

Regarding the multiplayer dino levels going all the way to 88 should now be fixed at the very least.

for this "an gain experience even after reaching max rank (before ascending)", when i gave myself 999999 exp to max out my exp bar, before ascending (since it's a new character), can only gain 104 levels, which is accurate.

Alright, thank you for the more detailed testing, I'll play around with some server and dino checking and see if I can make it work.
For the other question, by any chance, have you noticed whether or not you (as a player) can gain experience even after reaching max rank (before ascending)? If you haven't tried or noticed, no worries, I'll be doing some testing myself once I get in the dev kit, just thought I'd at least try asking. It's getting late here, but I'll get working on it tomorrow. :)

I did all the testing on a fresh server with no mods on The Island so character is fresh new without any additional ascending levels. when i force level I did give 999999 exp to forced tamed dino and character (force level everything), also did give 999999 exp to forced tame dino only. without riderless xp, dino can be only forced level 73 times, once I add the mod and force tame another dino, give exp (both mounted and unmounted), and its 88 times.

Going to have a look at some things, have you also tried with player levels before ascending, if it produces the same result? When you say force leveling, does that mean on said dino, dismounted and with or without sharing? If it happens when you're not mounting the dino I might be unable to fix that, sadly.

think I spotted another bug for dino exp. So with this mod on, even non X-dino will be able to level 88 times instead of the regular 73 times. I started out fresh on a server on The Island with no mods, force level a dino can only reach 73 times; once i have this mod and only this mod installed, force level a dino can reach 88 times which isn't supposed to be the case unless its an X-Dino from Genesis. @BigBrainMonster

Pushed out an update which should hopefully (fingers crossed) fix the issue. Though even if it does, I'm not sure what'll happen with experience sharing after hitting xp cap before ascending now, you're either going to get xp even at that point or there'll be some background magic going on in the c++. lol

*PS: sorry for the inconvenience. D:

@Cantose I know. I always had this mod installed back then, don't know when, it worked perfectly fine. so I never really paid attention to my EXP. it was after I ascended alpha Rockwell then I started to realize why was I not gaining levels so I started crazy experimenting with mindwipes. I even thought it was an official thing they've changed that after mindwipe you can only gain 99 levels...

@Eleven - Thanks for posting this. I have been troubleshooting my server for HOURS AND HOURS trying to figure this out. We were all locked at the 1798540 xp. What made me check here is that folks not in a tribe had no issues. If you created a new character and I admined XP to them it worked fine. If they didn't level, as soon as they went near another tribe member it was reset back to 1798540. I appreciate your post, I now know that I am not insane.
