Perhaps the One Issue With This Mod...
So I've been trying out this mod recently on my solo game, and I really like it^^ Big thanks to the author for bringing it to us.

I especially love the leech symbols next to the names of dinos when they get one attached to them...lol I have a bit of a thing about leeches and used to check my dinos every five minutes when going through the swamp, but now I can see exactly when my pets are being eaten alive. The other symbols like weight etc are also very handy, and the different groupings make controlling multiple dinos much easier.

There is, however, just one small issue that kinda ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ me about it. In the vanilla game, when bringing up the whistle menu, the interface still accepts commands from key input, meaning you can still run around with your character while selecting the whistle you want to use. I used to use this feature regularly, particularly when being chased by predators, so I on my lightweight galimimus could run away while my tougher bodyguard dinos could move to attack the invader and defend me.

This mod does not have that feature. When I bring up the GUI for the mod, my key inputs stop registering, and I cannot move my character around. It may only seem like a small thing, but given my preferred playstyle and the fact that I used that feature a lot, it has made quite a big difference for me.

Please don't get me wrong, this isn't a complaint - I still really like the mod and am probably gonna go on using it even with this little issue. However I thought i'd just bring it up here on the off chance that my thoughts could be considered, and perhaps if the author is willing, they could give us an option to change this behavior so we can still run around while selecting commands in the UI?

Whatever the case, thanks for your time and attention, and for the great work on the mod. It's much appreciated :D
