Is it possible to switch player tracking to tribe only - ppl are sing it to track enemy players to their bases - would be great if you could limit tracking to tribe mates only

Why are half the comments just humans demonstrating how stupid we all are?

I have had numerous problems with it on a server. Sadly.

How do I track a dino?

Is it possible to change the keybindings on these mods somewhere? Or is it like an INI file editing process??

can we have more then 50 waypoints set ?

Awesome mod, been having a mild issue though. Whenever you use Tek Surveillance Console all waypoints vanish and only come back on game reload (Haven't tested death). You can make new waypoints and they show up just fine but the old ones are gone (visually, they're still in the menu but won't render in game). It also forces the mod to relaunch (gives the start up message) when you exit camera view.

Minor issue to an otherwise great mod!

I took my non-hosted game and move to a hosted location lost all my way points. IS there a file I need to ftp over to get them back? IT has the waypoints of my gas collectors oil pumps etc.

Hi,when I play games in Chinese, the names of characters and dinosaurs cannot be displayed properly. Perhaps the encoding is not compatible (I don't know the specific problem), can you teach me how to display it correctly? :)

Hey mate, I love the new V2, such a great upgrade. Would appreciate/suggest one thing tho, being able to choose how many decimal points are displayed. When I select m (meters) as the distance unit, I might be fine with 0-1, but when using km (kilometers) 2 will make more sense. A simple combobox with the options 0, 1 or 2 would be enough. Cheers.

This mod sounds great, what about adding a compass at the top similar to newer games. When you place a waypoint it could show up on the compass.
accc 23 Jan, 2023 @ 7:09pm 
Why does my mark not display the name of the dinosaur, but only a box, is it a font problem?
IndominusBaz 15 Sep, 2022 @ 5:49pm 
nvm i just had to kms
IndominusBaz 15 Sep, 2022 @ 5:44pm 
used the clearmybuffs command which includes clearing the waypoint buff and it disabled everything. waypoints gone, keybinds dont work, even the settings when i press esc arent there anymore. is there anyway to fix this without having to rejoin? my pc takes years to launch a save
HDJOSS 12 Sep, 2022 @ 8:21am 
Why my tracked friends waypoints are not showing, when I relogin to the server and sometimes shows (Username)-Dead?
trooperjess 25 Aug, 2022 @ 9:30am 
Where is the ini located at in the mod? I was hopping to up the waypoint number.
sendjes 24 Jul, 2022 @ 10:14pm 
I'm not on a laptop so I don't have a FN key, but I'll just settle with the Shift+ combo.
Joehelp  [author] 24 Jul, 2022 @ 3:37pm 
Its some windows interaction.
I think like Shift+FN will toggle that behavior.
If thats not it, google has the answer.
sendjes 24 Jul, 2022 @ 8:12am 
The Keybinds only works when Shift+F1 etc, single press on F1 doesn't do anything, atleast for me.
Shadez 16 Jul, 2022 @ 1:04pm 
Awesome mod! :DSTsmallbird:
Joehelp  [author] 7 Jul, 2022 @ 11:56am 
Glad it was fixed. :)
Stupid steam. lol
CLAY 7 Jul, 2022 @ 11:53am 
Ahh, just simply delete the mod in ShooterGame\Content\Mods\2769908652, and redownload it. Then the "latest" problem is successfully resolved.
Weird bug indeed.

I have this mod running just fine on my server with 45 other mods and it is amazing.

Suggestion: Could you include grouping in the main menu? That way I can put a group for say caves and another for resources so I can quickly turn one group on or off. Thanks in advance.

Question: I use S+ and I was just playing around with the RTS feature of that mod and when I went back to FPS it said the waypoint mod was initializing and now it doesn't work. I tried going back into RTS and see if the msg would popup again but it didn't. My question is, is there a command I can use to force the waypoint mod to soft restart? The menu works and I can still edit things just fine, I just cannot see the waypoint anymore and F2 does nothing to resolve it. Thanks in advance.

I had the "Please ensure the server you are attempting to join..." error and was able to resolve it.

I had to remove the -automanagedmods from my command line arguments, while keeping ?GameModIds. I've also kept the [Modinstaller] and ActiveMods respectfully. Once that was removed and server shut down, I removed the mod folder from the server, and copied the folder from my machine to the server. DO NOT copy/overwrite on top of existing. I could not get that to work, I had to delete/remove the mod folder from "Mods" and then place the correct one. Hope this helps!

I'm running the Ark server on Ubuntu 20.04 through LinuxGSM, if that might be causing the issue. I also see the error "Please ensure the server you are attempting to join is running the latest version of all Mod content" when joining directly.
CLAY 5 Jul, 2022 @ 11:04pm 
My server won't list either with this mod enabled.
It will only list by changing this mod loading at last.
However, this error will be displayed below while attempting to join the server.
"Please ensure the server you are attempting to join is running the latest version of all Mod content"
Once removing this mod, the server is back to work again.
Pretty sure that the mod is the latest on both sides.
No such problem before.
Dad 4 Jul, 2022 @ 5:50pm 
strange, maybe the issue will resolve itself. thanks for your responses mate.
Joehelp  [author] 4 Jul, 2022 @ 3:46pm 
I have various servers running this mod fine.
I'm running this mod fine.
My other mods are running fine.
I have already tried to address the issue, so I believe its some issue on your end, sadly.
PINEFRESH 4 Jul, 2022 @ 3:40pm 
I still cannot log into my server with this mod enabled. It does not show in the server browser. Without it, everything works fine.
Dad 1 Jul, 2022 @ 10:12am 
it seems to happen randomly and well, i can see if i can find a log regarding it. i use gportal but see nothing in the logs. the crashes don't seem to happen when the mod isn't enabled. did you receive a log from any of the previous people reporting crashes?
Joehelp  [author] 1 Jul, 2022 @ 9:37am 
Can you post a crash log, and when does it happen?
Dad 1 Jul, 2022 @ 9:34am 
mod still seems to be causing crashes on my server.
mjdecker123 30 Jun, 2022 @ 5:29pm 
Anyway to have it where we can hit ESC and it closes the menu.
Dad 30 Jun, 2022 @ 2:45pm 
I'm not able to join my server anymore with this mod enabled
PINEFRESH 30 Jun, 2022 @ 9:40am 
My server won't list with this mod enabled now.
Joehelp  [author] 29 Jun, 2022 @ 11:21am 
Should be updated soon, think I fixed all the causes of crashing.
Dmitry 29 Jun, 2022 @ 11:05am 
Crashes server all the time!

crashing our server almost all the time
Wyrdling 25 Jun, 2022 @ 3:26pm 
Is there a way to set a fade distance? So if you're so far away from a waypoint it fades unless the distance is toggled off? If not, would be neat for clutter without turning them all off. Obviously more a quality of life that not everyone would use. Great otherwise, love the UI for it.

Crashing the game when use the mod
Felson 20 Jun, 2022 @ 4:48pm 
@speedracer454 For command line switches the only way I have been able to make them work is to make a batch file to launch the game.
Tovik 19 Jun, 2022 @ 10:56am 
When you say, use "-preventhibernation" for single player, do you mean to put that in the steam launch options? I'm not sure what you meant by this as I'm new to Ark and modding as well.

Also, is there any order or priority that I should load the mod?
