Hey I have the turret placed and it works but does no damage to anything? I do not have any mods to change/modify wild dinos. Only building mods like glass and furniture. Im wondering if I need to use some kind of command to make the turret do damage to wild dinos?

*edit* I found it does no damage to wild dinos because shortyl after placing it ants attacked me. It was shooting the ants for a good 1-2 minutes just pushing them back.

Hmm. Interesting deveolpment. I have tested the mod just now on my server, and on single player - and in both cases the turret demolishes any animal in sight (although I couldn't find any ants nearby). I did push an update for the mod last night, perhaps you may need to update? I'm running 23 mods on our server, and this is the very last one - still working.

Are you having problems with solely ants, or is it related to all creatures in the ARK?

So to make sure it wasn't just the Ants having trouble being killed, I logged back in and spawned a 3000 level Ant. Dead in one shot.

It seems to be any dinos, since im on singleplayer I spawned in a few including a phioma, raptor and even a rex. It did no damage just shooting and knocking them back. The turrent works, im just trying to figure out what ive done to make it not do damage. Found out the normal ark turrent is also acting the same way and not doing damage.

Could it be because I have it on singleplayer? Looking at my sliders for game options only things I have moved is day/night cycles, taming/XP and resource gathering. Everything else is left untouched, with dino difficulty level at 1.0

Some of the mods im useing is stackmemore, metal with glass, some plant/tree and furniture mods. I do have gigas turned off in the files, along with a few other changes done to like egg hatching/maturation speed.

That is strange, Freakymary. I must say that there are a few people on Google with your issue but nothing clear enough to draw a conclusion on what the issue might be. Please let me know how you go with that

I'm also having issues where the turrets do no damage. I previously had another Admin Turret Mod that had the same issue, so I came to this one. Must be a universal turret bug going around...

Okay so I just had time to fire up the game to test this out, and as far as I can see, Novus, they are still working as stated. It could be an issue with stacking, or it could be the way you configure your settings as the slider is sometimes contrary to intuition. If you do run other mods, perhaps load this mod alone in single player with no setting changed and see if you still have this issue. Short of stacking conflicts which shouldn't happen with this mod as it's clean (perhaps you have an old admin turret that is still installed, not in the load order, but still loading and causing conflicts?), I'm not too sure what the problem may be for the small group of people having issues. Verifying your game cache in Steam may / may not work.

DebellicA, does your mod play with the DinoTurretDamageMultiplier option? I found on single player games the game.ini file is empty by default which means the DinoTurretDamageMultiplier isn't declared. Also could be the dino damage resistance turned all the way up.

This is a really good point, thanks for the input man. I have changed the fire damage amount - which is 8000 damage per shot. Typically something that has no value assigned to it in the GameUserSettings.ini is a deault value, but it may in fact be causing issues if not set at all - I'm not exactly sure on that one. Will do some tests and see. Maybe assigning a '1' to the StructureDamageMultiplier / DinoResistanceMultiplier may force the value to appropriate.

Thing is, on our server, we have set the settings on a much higher value than normal. So either the mulitplier not being assigned (a default value) is what is causing issues, or its something else that I'm not aware of

I'll fire up my disaster of a single player server and see if I can replicate :)
db  [developer] 24 Sep, 2016 @ 5:58am 
haha standing by

May be unrelated, but setting Dino resistant to zero actually makes them invulnrable. Outside that could not replicate issue.

Thanks man, appeciate that. Yeah it's a strange issue that I also found with other admin turret mods, but haven't personally had the problem here with this one. Curiouser and curiouser

I've done a clean install, just installed this one mod first. On default settings, the issue persists. I haven't the faintest idea why, but I'm going to do some troubleshooting to try and find out. I'll reply back if I find anything.
