Sorry I stopped playing ARK and am no longer modding for it. I am leaving all mods in the workshop for those still using them.

I second what noonkinx said. I would use this if there was an ini setting to make them last forever.

i mainly play single player game how do i make the beacon last forever it would be nice to know where my house is while im roaming around :)

To hide engram, on your server in your game.ini add

OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_RallyBeacon",EngramHidden=true,EngramPointsCost=0,EngramLevelRequirement=0,RemoveEngramPreReq=false)

Sorry for being afk for so long, still waiting for ADK to be updated ......

how do we hide the engram ??

Would it be possible for you to create a mod that lets you place more than (I think) 5 or 6 map markers?

Is there no mods for custom waypoints (on screen) for bases? I can't find any.

Tom - Yeah it would be nice if it had the players name or something towards the top a few times. Also, if you can make flashing ones, we can tell the players to only use those for emergencies (like Red/White EMS/Help), Red/Blue (Police/911/In Trouble), etc. That would be awesome too.

if to many people make these on a well populated server you wouldnt know which one to land at :0

Maybe above the beam the persons tribe name or something
U can see trouble happening if you land at the wrong beam :)

Thanks!! You are the best!!

thanks for the positive feedback everyone. I am still learning the ue4 programming and will add ini options for length of time, color etc when I get the chance.

Love the mod. Wondering if there are, or if you can add, settings for the GameUserSettings.ini. I am wanting to be able to change the default time. (like -1 for indefinite) I use this on my personal server and would like to be able to mark my base(s) permanently.

yea this can be useful when i try to go back home in darkness!
but can we change the color?

Ranked up! Tested and works great. I can't believe no one else thought of this. You are the man! If you can add a strobe light one (red and blue - something not annoying) that would be awesome. Maybe have a few different ones. Red and Blue as an admin only that lasts forever (until the admin destoryes it), and a red and white for the players to use to be a little more alerting :) That would be cool. I'll throw you a few $ on Paypal.

@Coragin - most likely that or if you use -sm4 or d3d10 .. I run default and can see it from over 1/2 the island away.

It seems to disappear when I get just a small distance away. I can still see my base on screen but not the beacon. I have bloom and light shafts turned off, could that be doing that?

Yeah it looks taller but if you could add an option to flash (in a slow motion) it would be great. Maybe add it to the INI as an option?

@Steve - I think I misread your comment. I was thinking you didnt want it to be that expensive ;) but I re-read it and I think you are glad its expensive. Yea I didnt want people making a bunch of them and spamming everywhere.. Thats also the reason why I made it have a weight of 33 and only last 2 hours.

@double313 I was thinking about making it multi colored or flash or something, but I figured it being taller than regular ones should be enough to tell the difference, but not so obvious that it alerts the whole server (pvp wise)

@steve Sorry.. if its to expensive, I can change it or add an ini option for the server admin to set. This mod was made at Coragin's request. I also usually start out at a high cost for items and adjust downward if needed. Through the last decade of running servers and such, Ive found out that lowering the cost of something that is expensive always gets better responses from my players than raising the cost of something that is too cheap ;)

This looks very useful, especially for new players. I'm glad you made it so expensive that it is virtually unobtainable. Anyone having this capability early in the game could really mark a location or something.

If you could make it have a strobe light effect (flashing red/blue or whatever) so they are different from normal beacons it would be a good feature :)

Getting ready to reboot my server on my other machine, going to give it a solid go for as long as I can stay awake after working from 9am to 11pm manual labor. Will report back with results soon. Thanks so much man.
