(This didnt take long!)

Any action taken by a protected dino should reset the timer. Or as an INI, to suit more peoples tastes :)

I really just want this to protect tames sitting in my large pen which on occasion gets a wild spawn -_- (not to mention the pain of setting them up in pairs for egg collection again). Its too OP to me if I can have any dino follow me out and about while being immune.

*E: Just spotted someone in the comments saying about being able to exploit bosses in its current state. If they were ignored, rather than simply immune, which dropped if they moved about - that should prevent the issue. Plus no resource hogging checking area and/or what mobs are around.

I agree it should only protect dinos on passive and not on follow, if they are on follow them remaining immune is a little bit of an advantage (not that it matters much to PvE)

It would be nice if it was possible to set "exclude these dinos" and there you can exclude for example Rex or Giga so they don't gain the protection but still throws out their inventory! :P So we can keep track on players storing items in passive dinos.

I think another exploit is using a passive protected dino in a taming pen just to aggro powerful dinos to it. Can it be made so the protected passive can just be ignored by all dinos?

Thanks for the feedback. It's on my list of things to do.

Is it possible, that this mod could have a option, that you cant whistle a dino on aggressiv or neutral if its protected? On a privat PvP Server or something else is this a super stupid situation if you are in a raid and you cant kill passives but they can kill you instantly when they get whistle on aggressiv. You had no chance to save ur ass :D
I hope you all understand what i mean, i´m not good in english :/ It would be nice, if there is any option in future, that a pvp server can use it meaningful.

Is it possible items define in the config that no drop out when the dino go protected?
Osid 17 Jul, 2017 @ 12:03am 
Btw if making wild dinos ignore the protected passive is to much trouble to implement then I wouldn't have a problem allowing wild dinos to just kill them haha

would it be possible to add an ini or something that would protect dinos if they have costumes on? ie. zombie wyvern, etc.

Will be possible that turrrets don't shoot to ghost dinos ?

there are a big problema

People in my server i'ts using pasive dinos to empty turrets enemies (put the pasive dino in quez and open giant trap to drop dino on enemy base).
and if put DisableStructureCheck=false, when destroy enemy base, people can kill dinos width quetzal turret (dino lost protection becouse quetzal have structure enemy near pasive dino).

LLapafigues 11 Sep, 2017 @ 1:26am

is it possible to add in a function to the mod where when a dino dies it pastes into the tribe log what stance its on this would help alot with servers where there are passive dino protection rules

is it possible to add a way to remove/toggle a dinos protection with radial option maybe, as i had to uninstall mod so i could try a troodon tame

Version 1.4 and new "protected" wheel setting.: Looking through the notes and .ini settings we couldnt find a protected by default when tame is passive setting. Would it be possible to add a .ini value that retained the old way, a passive dino is set to protected on default vs. having to set each dino to protected via the settings wheel? After the update all passives are now disabled and we have a lot of tames across the server in multipel bases.... It's going to take a while to re-activate the protected setting on our tames :)
