Description
Creature Finder Deluxe
ModID=1591643730
Easily find your lost pets or find a high level tameable
This mod is clean and stackable

Shift F8: Open the Creature Finder Deluxe window
F6, F7: Cycle through found creatures
F8: Toggle creature Indicator

I made this mod because the known Pet Finder and all other dino tracker i have tested do not work very well for my needs.

To use the CREATURE FINDER DELUXE press Shift F8 to open the search dialog.
Choose a desired creature class. You can enter a search text in the text entry field (for example: Tek ) or leave it empty. For an exact search use the "". (example: "Dodo")
Make further options like gender or tamed (if ShowOnlyTamed is not set to True in the GUS ini)
Click the "Search" button. If any creature is found, you will see an indicator on the lower side of the screen, showing the found creature, the name, the gender, the level and the distance to the creature. the background of the indicator shows the distance to the creature in color: green (<3000) over yellow to red (>=3000m)
If more than one creature is found, use the F6 and F7 keys to cycle through the found creatures.
The found creatures are sorted by the distance to the player.
Of course only creature already spawned can be found.
You can disable the search for wild creatures in the GameUserSettings.ini (see below).

Attention: for finding all dinos on the map in single player you need to add
-preventhibernation
to the Ark starting parameters


optional INI (GameUserSettings.ini) entries:
[CreatureFinderDeluxe] FindAllCreatures=True/False default False : Only tameable creatures will be found ShowOnlyTamed=True/False default False : You can search for tamed and wild creatures CreatureClassRequired=True/False default False AdminOnly=True/False default False

The option "AdminOnly" can be used for server admins, who want to find lost pets of any player but do not want that their players use the creature finder. To find the pets of a player, target the player or a tribemember or another pet from the player/tribe and open the Creature Finder Deluxe window. You will see the tribename/playername and the id in the finder window. You need to check "tamed" and you can choose the class of the pet or the name and click search.

If this mod causes lags while searching, you need to set "CreatureClassRequired=True" in the ini.

The keys can be changed in the Input.ini (in the WindowsNoEditor folder for single player or the WindowsServer folder for client/server game)
ActionMappings=(ActionName="Structure7",Key=F8,bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False) ActionMappings=(ActionName="Structure5",Key=F6,bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False) ActionMappings=(ActionName="Structure6",Key=F7,bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False)

Both this mod and https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1251586701 seem to share some keybindings, even when they bindings are changed, which is causing a conflict.

I downloaded this mod a couple days ago and had not used it yet. I'm getting ready to start breeding Rexes so I set out looking for Dimetrodons for temp control. Flying over the swamp and thinking how long this is going to take to find suitable candidates, I remember I have this mod installed. BOOM there was one just below and to my right that I didn't see! Great mod, thank you!

Where should I put this to make it work? ShowOnlyTamed=True

I'm really confused :(

@ShadowedEyes nice idea, i will think about it
sardukar Jan 5 @ 4:36am 
ShadowedEyes theres a mod that adds a similiar function but as a dimorph tame. it works good i use both mods together with no probs..........just a pain to radial menu the dimorph for the option where this mod is just F8.....

Suggestion for implementing this with some immersion... Use a shoulder pet bird like an Icthyornis as a scout! Give it your instructions of what to look for and have it fly off to return some minutes later with results!
