do the pegos and ichthyornins still spawn?

yeah my game also crashes/freezes whenever attacked by ichthyornins :(

Shamelessly posting that I just realized my own version of a mod that does this same thing that won't crash your game.

It's been many months since this mod functioned properly so I took it upon myself to produce a new one which is something I'd wanted to do around the time this one came out but never did because this one released first and worked.

Took me 2 months to figure out it was this mod who kept crashing my game, can finally play again...

Also crashing from icthy attacks

I crash whenever an ichthyornis attacks me? At all related?

Can the weapon stealing be disabled as well? Realistically, there is no way a seagull is taking a weapon out of a humans hands

Sadly, ever since the latest update of ARK, this mod crashes my game whenever I get attacked by an Ichthy (single player). I hope this can be resolved soon as this mod really has made my time in the game much more enjoyable.

Thanks for the update jessej1111, appreciate the work you put into the mod!

Hey everyone I have not been able to work on this mod in a few months due to a number of personal reasons. With updates it’s very possible the code now does not function as expected or there are unexpected bugs. I will get back to working on this but it won’t be until at least the end of September before I can really focus any time on it. I will likely rewrite the entire mod from scratch and add a few features so it will be a complete overhaul.

I've been experiencing random freezes in single player which result in me having to force close the game via task manager. I believe I've narrowed the issue down to this mod. I haven't specifically run into the problem when being attacked by thieves, it's possibly when the game tries to autosave. No freezes since removing this mod. I'd absolutely add it back once the issue is fixed as it was working great up until a couple months ago.

Please do not run this mod on servers, it will continue to crash whenever it saves.

does it work now ? i would love to have this mod but from the comment i'm not sure

This mod freezes and crashes the server within minutes.

esta travando meu jogo

Same for me, game is freezing but its not just bc im getting attacked by Ichy, also counts for all the other small dinos that can steal stuff

yeah that is happening to me too. something with the gen 2 update must have messed with this mod :(

My game is crashing every time an Ichy attacks. Started after the game update last night. it's affecting new and old saves. please help :)

does anyone know why the game crashed when i was attacked by ichy?

I have this mod on my main cluster Fatal Existence (13 pve maps + 1 pvp). It's an amazing mod!

awesome

ive never seen the best mod... oh found it

Steam needs an edit button :X
I removed every mod that might affect either pegos or ichtys and reloaded and re-dino wiped the center. A few minutes later I came across a mosschops sized pego that could attack me, but not steal items. Same with the birds. I'd still prefer they didn't exist, but that's not what this mod does.

This mod works as intended, thanks for making it.

Side question: Do you know why the NPC replacement isn't working for pegos and ichtys? Does your mod change their class name? The other mods may have done the same thing which is why they never disappeared completely.

Edit: I might be a derp. I have another mod that may be affecting the ichtys. "Seagulls - Stop it now" that may be interacting poorly. I'll remove that mod and try just yours.

Mod doesn't work for me. I've done several dino wipes to make sure they're all freshly spawned.
I have this in my ...ARK/ShooterGame/Saved/Config/WindowsNoEditor/GameUserSettings.ini
[NoMoreTheft]
IchthyDropWeaponChance=0.0
IchthyStealFoodChance=0.0
PegoStealRandomItems=False
PegoStealHotBar=False

I tried removing ichtys entirely in game.ini via "NPCReplacements=(FromClassName = "Ichthyornis_Character_BP_C", ToClassName = "") but not only did they persist but after installing your mod they seem more common >.>

Is there something different with the center map spawn rules that forces more icthys to spawn?
I'm getting swarmed by 3-5 at a time and they're stealing hundreds of narcotics from me 20 at a time.

I have not encountered a pego to see if they're the same hellspawn as normal. The Game.ini fix worked in the Island and other story maps for both itchys and pegos.

Thanks for your help.

make a mod to completely obliterate them from the game i donmt wanna see another one of those shitasses again got it?

pegos are huge dude lmao

I had done a wipe, it was the larger ones from the mod. I just disabled stealing completely and it hasn't presented itself again. Thank you for looking into this, and also for looking into implementing a size toggle!

ok, thank you. i just dont know how i would feel about a... idk purlovia sized pego

I will add more pictures this weekend.
I will also look at adding an INI option for the size.

could you post a picture of the Pego at least? I'm not some superhuman who can suddenly picture something I haven't seen in hours as 1.5 times it's original size

Thank you all for the suggestions. I will look into adding more INI options for the limiting of specific kinds of items.
As items still being randomly stolen I second Grey's comment did you do a dino wipe? I personally have not been able to reproduce the behavior of random items being stolen with default ini configurations. I have attempted to replicate the issue on multiple servers and single player games without success.
I can not promise an update within the next week due to the holidays however, I will attempt to have updates released before the new year.

Did you do a dino wipe, @trencher?

Double post, can't edit: I'll second alf.lord51's request. if you look at the abandoned older mod, it restricted to just meat, which fits better: 99.9% of players can afford to lose meat, and the dinos can still act normally otherwise (icthys don't become a murderous cloud).

Not sure what is wrong, but I'm still getting things stolen from me (3 times now) that are not in my hotbar, with the default settings. I've added them to the ini, and disabled hotbar steal also, will let you know if it happens again. Also, the stolen item was gone 2/3 of those occasions. These guys just might get completely disabled. I wouldn't care if it didn't make items evaporate, kibble is expensive to make and loot tools are impossible. The only common theme might be that there was nothing in slot 0 (was already stolen, they run in packs).

Aside, could you possibly add an INI setting for disabling the size change of the pegomastax?

arnulfo_torres
there's another mod that makes ichthys affected by what they consume
I don't think it's possible to alter the amount outside of a complete rewrite of the mechanic

As much as I hate those flying rats. Is there a way to make them steal less of that item? Like say half of my meat stacks or less? It really sucks when they take all 200 of my cooked meat jerky stacks. Also they should be able to get knocked out if they steal narcotics and stuff. I'd honestly stand in the beach all day feeding them narco berries Lol

dude, dude...seriously, thanks.

Great mod, but the icthy now always targets me on the beach and doesnt loose aggro. Tried loosing it in deep water, forest and unless you were faster than the icthy it kept chasing you.

Uninstalled this mod and they are back to their bullcrap ways, but it beats getting destroyed by 5 icthys that wont stop until they are dead. Im sure this is a lifesaver mod for more mid game players since you have easy access to ranged/powerful accurate weapons as well as dinos.

Sucks i really wanted this mod :(

finely

i love you man

Ich liebe dich

Update to add INI options is incoming currently cooking up and will then be live. Description will also be updated to go over the INI options.

alf.lord51,

I could add the ability via ini option but that is behind the other INI options for setting the level of stealing and knocking your weapon our of your hand. I will however, add it to the roadmap of new features. I was working on the INI options today actually and ETA for having it complete is a few days.

I know this might seem to counter the idea behind the mod but could you make it so pego can steal outside hotbar but only food items
there's an old mod that did this "anti-theft"

i love you bro

TTV_XDExotixDOOM,

The Ichty will never "STEAL" your weapon it will knock it out of your hands and you will have to pick it up again from a box on the ground.
I will however, work on an INI file option to disable this behavior as well. To add to that I will also work on adding an INI file option to prevent the Pego from stealing form your hot bar as well with the understanding that it will stop everyone on the server from being able to tame them.

can you make it so ichty can't steel or remove a weppon

For people like me that have HORRIBLE luck with getting their stuff stolen this mod is a life savior.

Jules,

you are correct these are modified dinos and if you take them to another system without the mod it will not work.
