@Captain Pansy - please dont, thank you :) owning ASA wouldnt make me want to play or mod it. I am just burned out playing or modding this game.

"Not really as I am not interested in buying or playing ASA"
that is really sad, i came here for this :(
what if i gift the game to you? :)

@.Siggy - Not really as I am not interested in buying or playing ASA

Any plans to add this mod to ASA?

ive been waiting for a long time hoping you would find a way to convert the saddle,saddle bp to this version's while keeping rarity and stats. If you think its within reach of being doable, I hope you do. I would love that feature.

thanks

love this mod by the way

@Creamice
I haven't touched ark or the devkit in a while so I am not sure if that tutorial works for modded items but if you want to give it a try, here is the link:
https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/forums/topic/65930-tutorial-modify-loot-crate-contents-v242/


And here is the blueprint path to the saddle:

"Blueprint'/Game/Mods/MegalosaurusNoSleepSaddle/PrimalItemArmor_MegalosaurusSaddle_NoSleep.PrimalItemArmor_MegalosaurusSaddle_NoSleep'"

The class the tutorial mentions should be like
PrimalItemArmor_MegalosaurusSaddle_NoSleep_C


@The Balance
I don't really know sorry - my best guess is that it probably doesn't work with it.

Is there an ini to make in it be able to spawn in drops?

Does this work with Krakens Better Dinos mod?

I am glad to hear it is still working :)

Yesssss thank you so much for this!!! I can finally wipe the floor with bosses with adorable megalosaurs!!!

Absolutely! And it's so well intergrated too.

@Níðhöggr nái
glad to hear you like it

This might sound over exaggerated but you seriously saved this dinosaur for me. I hate Nighttime but I love this dinosaur! Now I can use it kind of like the Troodon, where it's always usefull!

thanks

@andremmazevedo
There should be a skin version of the saddle included that you should be able to drag onto a regular megalosaurus saddle

can i make my normal saddle into one of these?

@Soaring Spirit
Thank you for letting me know :) much appreciated

@hun']['er Just did a tiny test in singleplayer and it appears to work fine on them (The skin on a normal saddle), They do replay the waking up animation when you remove the saddle and do the roar when you log back in but otherwise seem to behave as they should ^^

Oh awesome! WIl try and get a look at it soon!

@Soaring Spirit
I added a Skin version of the saddle just now.
Not sure if everything still works as intended but the in-editor tests looked correct.
You need to remove the saddle from your creature before you can apply the saddle skin though.

Ahh OK I was mostly hoping it would be a skin, that way if its removed you don't lose the original saddle. Good luck hopefully you don't have too much trouble!

@Soaring Spirit
It's a saddle and no skin item - sorry.
I am still thinking if I can convert the basic saddle and keeping the quality and AR - will have a look at that over the weekend.

So is this an actual Saddle that I craft or can is it a "skin" I can attach to a saddle? (My thinking is I like having my upgraded saddles for the AR)

@Freyja - if it keeps crashing:
Do you have any other mods installed that change dinos?
If you don't mind please provide the crashdump so I can have a look at what is causing the issue.
I think you should be able to start a new discussion above and post it there.

@Freyja - that's strange.
Can you please try to make sure it is not loaded last (and not first)?
We have a 3 server cluster up running this mod on all of them and no issues so far. It is somewhere in the middle of the load order although I think it should be save to put it whereever if no other mod demands a specific order or first spot at least.

This mod is breaking my Pugnacia & Parados server. I added all my mods one by one & just so happened that this was the last on the list & as soon as I added it, it stopped responding & broke it. The other mods I have are typical QoL mods like S+ & the Eco decor mods. No other saddle type mod that would clash with this.

@LizardPrince

here you go: 1726415748

what is the mod ID?

Thank you for answering have a nice day !

It should remove all penalties

Hello if i use the saddle , in the day , my Megalosaurus will have the same stats as the night ?
or the saddle just remove the sleep debt ? i mean is dps and stamina will it always be the same or will there still be a difference? ( sorry if my english is bad i'm a belgian )

Oh! I've never thought about the costs when using the upgrade station as it uses the base crafting materials to determine the upgrade costs...oops :>


About the comment from Mahiira:
Don't know really, when I uploaded the mod to steam we were using it on our own Server (Nitrado) and firearms worked while riding when using the modded saddle

For all Who have the Problem with the Upgrade Station (Free Upgrade for this Mod Saddle XD)

Here an Costume Recipe for this Saddle

ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemArmor_MegalosaurusSaddle_NoSleep_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Hide_C",BaseResourceRequirement=320.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Fibers_C",BaseResourceRequirement=170.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_MetalIngot_C",BaseResourceRequirement=30.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_BlackPearl_C",BaseResourceRequirement=10.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Crystal_C",BaseResourceRequirement=10.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false)))

Hello! I installed the mod and it seems to almost be working properly but I can’t use my weapons while riding... any suggestions for a fix?

well, thank you for making this awesome mod. It really fills the niche I was looking for :)

If you ever find a way to make higher quality saddles, I'd fall even further in love.

Yes - that was the main reason for making it

Does this also take away the daytime debuff the Megalosaurus gets?

C) I tested it with my Compound Bow mod when I released it two years ago.
I am not sure if it's still the same workflow to add something to drops but last time I had to replace all the default drops with edited versions that included my items.
Again, I don't want to do that anymore to not mess with vanilla items or functions.
Not being able to get higher quality versions of this bothered me aswell but I wasn't able to find a good solution for that other than using the upgrade station mod possibly.
Not sure if it works with the saddle but I know for sure it works with my modded compound bow.

Hi,

A) as far as I have tested it it works on the Aberrant version just fine although not providing much of a benefit other than the higher base armor if you compare the two saddles at base quality and enabling you to use weapons while riding.

B) I was thinking about using different crafting materials but utlimately decided against it as you need to get your hands on the default saddle and convert it so the material costs felt ok to me.
If anything I think I would have ended up going in the direction of Deep 6's idea and add some stimulants to the baseline materials (although not that many stimulants xD)
I stay away from replacing anything as far as possible with my S+ Wood Railing texture fix being the only exception at the moment to not mess up the game or any other mod that might rely on base items.

A) Does it work on Aberrant variants?
B) Is there a way to change the crafting requirements? -or even maybe just have it replace the old saddle? -
C) Could there possibly be a way to add them to airdrops, so we can get higher quality ones?

I freaking love you for making this mod. I've been wanting megalos to be useful, but the sleep debt is killer.

This is an awesome idea and I can't wait to test it. Thank you for sharing this! For a little added humor, you might add 100 stimulant or something in addition to the original saddle as a material cost.
