Does this mod still work?

To change the lights color you have to switch the light off. Change color then turn back on.
Hirnsausen 21 Aug, 2019 @ 11:03pm 
The light functions and can be placed.

But it seems, the selection of light color is disabled at the moment.

Is this mod dead? Or does it still work?
Typehigh 22 Jan, 2018 @ 9:21am 
Have you ceased development of this mod?

Hello, after the latest patch 271.22 I can unfortunately no longer load the Mod in the game and thus use. It would be nice if this can be fixed, since it is a super mod !!! Thanks in advance.
Spirit 14 Jul, 2017 @ 7:20am 
Yeah sorry about that. No it wouldn't. I asked because I thought the mod would improve the quality of existing light effect plus adding additional lights (ceiling light). I didn't thought it would JUST add new lights. The title "Better lights" mislead me kinda.
Gwein  [author] 13 Jul, 2017 @ 9:25am 
@Nek'Res I could. But it wouldn't make much sense and also i think it might be a game breaker for the normal players.
Spirit 9 Jul, 2017 @ 10:08am 
Can you make the light not require electricity? :/
Hirnsausen 20 May, 2017 @ 11:41pm 
Nice and useful.

REQUEST:
1
Could you add a lamp that looks very modern to this mod (but all the same features)? Like a standing, vertical glass cylinder that illuminates, one wall high, and can be placed one above each other (snapping in).
2
Can you also create a very thin (flat) "patch" that can be added over a wall, or to a floor on the ground or to a ceiling? Light-emitting, different colors. Widh: 1 floor or 1/3 floor (two versions). Height: maybe adjustable between a thick line to wall height. Call it an ultra-flat lamp.

I joined a Server and then it just installed this mod. Then nothing happened but down right it just says "installing 1 mod(Better Lights)". And it stays saying that for hours now? I'm neww to modding ARK, so i have no idea why it's there.

@mito020026 i'm sorry but i belive i can't help you with that problem. File privileges normally have to do something with your system user rights, but i've never experienced something like that with a mod for ark
Mito 12 Feb, 2017 @ 10:31am 
oke do you know i fix it ?
Gwein  [author] 12 Feb, 2017 @ 3:40am 
@mito020026 it seems to be an error on your end then. The Mod itself works properly
Mito 12 Feb, 2017 @ 1:24am 
i have a missing file privileges when i download it :steamsad:
Gwein  [author] 9 Feb, 2017 @ 10:57am 
Mod will be Updated this friday, i need to setup the DevTool again due to a HDD crash.
thehandofgod 8 Feb, 2017 @ 5:45pm 
Nope. Not working for me.
Fusty 7 Feb, 2017 @ 7:18am 
Does this work with the current version?
surviv0r1969 7 Dec, 2016 @ 9:48am 
yeah my light dont place either, since last update it seems
Frenchystv || TTV 20 Nov, 2016 @ 12:02pm 
Just an FYI to you guys Pet Res still crashes. Had to remove it. That's on them though.
Frenchystv || TTV 19 Nov, 2016 @ 8:31am 
Alrighty, thanks. I'm doing a wipe of my server, and definitely including this in the list. Thanks for replying.
Gwein  [author] 19 Nov, 2016 @ 7:49am 
Well, my mod was not causing that bug so there was no need for a fix. And i think that also the pet res mod has fixed that error a long time ago.
Frenchystv || TTV 19 Nov, 2016 @ 7:25am 
So are the bugs with that fixed then? And if I add Pet Res will I have that issue?
Nexolight 4 Oct, 2016 @ 2:06pm 
Ok the other mod author was able to replicate the issue(I don't have pet resurrection installed). This issue seems quite widespread among multiple mods now. I wonder why.
Gwein  [author] 4 Oct, 2016 @ 9:04am 
I know that the pet resurrection mod got updated today and the creator stated that he fixed the bug.
Nexolight 4 Oct, 2016 @ 7:29am 
In my case it was caused by this mod https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=733395167 not pet ressurection. However the author can't replicate it. Maybe the mods indifferer?
Gwein  [author] 4 Oct, 2016 @ 6:54am 
@Nexolight i had that issue on my server too. I had the Pet Resurrection mod installed, and couldn't learn any mod engrams at all. After removing the mod, everything worked fine. I've also removed every mod on my Server, cleared the steamcmd cache before downloading and installing them again so this might also be a workaround.
Nexolight 3 Oct, 2016 @ 1:49pm 
With this update (may be another of total 4 mods) all engrams from mods are now unlearnable and reset. I remember that one mod some time ago caused exactly this issue as well. (https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=737297870&searchtext=stats+bars)
Gwein  [author] 2 Oct, 2016 @ 1:32am 
@Boba_Fettish the Placement bug you've mentioned seems to be on your end. I've tested in Singleplayer and on my Servers and i can place the lights just fine.
Gwein  [author] 2 Oct, 2016 @ 1:23am 
I will be updating this mod today, i will look at the placement bug and also why the lights don't save the intensity when they're controlled by the daylight sensor
Ironclad2000 1 Oct, 2016 @ 1:24pm 
Latest Update seems to have broken several mods with lighting in them (including this one). Items will get the green outline but wont place place.
Itachi 21 Sep, 2016 @ 8:03am 
the intensity of lights turns back on low,when the light to pass through the sensor.
Lo-X 11 Sep, 2016 @ 10:03am 
Thank you but the primary colors are red, yellow and blue.
Nexolight 10 Sep, 2016 @ 11:11am 
Great update thx :)
Reaver 6 Sep, 2016 @ 10:26am 
@Gweincalar thats good news, thank you for your work.
Joew 6 Sep, 2016 @ 9:01am 
@Gweincalar Thank you so much! Now this mod is perfect ;)
Gwein  [author] 6 Sep, 2016 @ 8:23am 
Good news, finally figured out how to find out if it's day or night ingame. That means Daylight sensors (Auto On/Off). Of course you can disable the Daylight sensor if your want. Next Update will probably come this friday if everything works out.
Joew 2 Sep, 2016 @ 6:40pm 
@Damon, I learned the engrams without problems too. Its is working.
Jaz 1 Sep, 2016 @ 8:56am 
@Damon I've had thatexact issue in the past albeit with a different mod (Annunaki Genesis to be exact). I fixed it by uninstalling the mod and reinstalling it
Gwein  [author] 1 Sep, 2016 @ 8:10am 
@Damon, i tried to learn the engram and everything worked just fine. I've tried it in singleplayer and also on my server and i've had no issues learning the engram.
Synthe 31 Aug, 2016 @ 5:22pm 
One of my players noticed the ceiling and wall lights appeared in the Engrams list, but is not learnable. I confirmed this, as I have a couple hundred points available and these cost 5 Engrams each. Clicking the button does not learn the Engram. The server has been restarted last weekend, so I assume that is not the issue. I'll see if it's any different after the server update/restart tomorrow, though.
Joew 25 Aug, 2016 @ 2:12pm 
@Gweincalar I forgot, just one more request, please. Could you implement auto turn on on nights and auto turn-off on days? Like as: Auto Torch - modID: 543859212

Thank you :D
Jaz 24 Aug, 2016 @ 1:35pm 
Many thanks Gweincalar, in return liked and favourited (don't know why I hadn't done that already though if I'm honest but :steamhappy: )
Gwein  [author] 24 Aug, 2016 @ 8:36am 
@Garie, items can now be picked up. Just added it with the latest fix, thanks for suggesting it.
Jaz 23 Aug, 2016 @ 4:45pm 
Thanks for the mod Gweincalar. I have no idea how easy/hard this would be to implement but would it be possible to set the items so they can be picked up once placed?
Hirnsausen 23 Aug, 2016 @ 1:48am 
Hi. Requests:
- Brightness Aduster
- flat light stripes for floors, walls, ceilings
- man more possible colors (RGB adjusters)
Joew 21 Aug, 2016 @ 4:27pm 
@Gweincalar WOOOOOOOOOOW incredible! Now it will be PERFECT. Thank you so much :D
Gwein  [author] 21 Aug, 2016 @ 12:55pm 
Working on the mod for the next two Days to add new Stuff. There will be a Ceiling Light and i will
also try to add a wall light to the mod. Both will have the same options as the current lights. So expect the mod to be updated in 1 or 2 days
BanHammer 31 Jul, 2016 @ 6:20am 
Mod removed, every restart all the lights go away
Joew 29 Jul, 2016 @ 4:42pm 
Could you add lamps that you can put on roof, walls, like as lamps from Saixang modid: 533884503 or aku shuma eletronics lamps: modid: 653115515, please? It will be perfect. Thank you!
This mod is really great!
