Works for me.

I tried changing the values in the ini file but the bags that drop (from the alphas in the discussion config as I don't see another way to get them) don't match the config file info. The values are completely different from even the list provided above in your own config file. What gives?

@JackGenesisX 90% and 500, unless you changed it.

what is the weight reduction and slot of an acendant bag?

No idea what that is. If you mean Beacon the app https://usebeacon.app/
Theres a whole section on their page on how to add mod items.

how do i add this to Beacon Enhancer?

@Cstalker The odds of me ever touching this mod again, slim. If I were to do it again, it would be made quite different...it's a bit of a mess as it is ;(

Have you reconsider making these uploadable? We run a cluster and we are trying to figure out a way to move them around.

@Quellcrest Thanks, I was trying to copy the code from the discussion not the cheat code you added to the description, my bad.

@QuiXilver777 https://beaconapp.cc/help/adding_blueprints_to_beacon

@Quellcrest How do you add this, or any other mod item, to a beacon or loot crate?

@Yggdrasilian No. If I remember correctly, it also can't be uploaded.

if i put something in the bag and then go to another ark will the item stay in the bag?

very nice good job

Any way I could convince you to patch the re-opening player inventory on bag close yet?

@audios mute Right out of the box, no. Having them craftable didn't sit well with me, so they aren't.

I figured the most reasonable place would be boss or alphas or beacons, but if that were true, most people would be editing those loot tables anyways(since vanilla is garbage).

Use beacon: https://beaconapp.cc/

So does this mod add any method of getting the bags outside of spawn codes on its own? The description is extremely vague on this, and it seems like the only way to get them is by spawning it in or manually adding it to boss/beacon drops?

Was just playing around in Ark last night and wondering... is it possible for, upon clicking 'close bag' the inventory screen to be brought back up by itself? Don't really even notice it until you do it quite a few times and need to re-open your inventory to do other stuff.

可以跟魔盒那个mod套娃 nice。一个格可以装很多东西

lol, cheers.

Doesn't bother me. I love it as-is. Now, since I dropped them all for no reason (thinking it would fix the issue), I just need to go kill some alphas lol. 11/10. TBH the fact this isn't rated 5-star is kinda pissing me off lol. IDK who did that but their opinion is objectively wrong.

There's a tiny flicker when closing inventory and opening the bag, but as far as I know, unavoidable.

Still pretty good :)

Yup... working perfectly as far as I can tell. Thanks so much, man! Really feels like actual bags in your inventory now.

*Crosses fingers*
It worked for me with dedi, singleplayer, multiple people...all seemed good.

Just noticed updated... i'll report back in just a few.

Not as of yet. When I get to it, it'll be completely safe. No need to empty them.

@Quellcrest Were you working on getting bags to auto-open? I ask because I wanted to empty my bags as a 'just in case' with that update.As I have Dinos in Storage balls in a few of them

@Mania-Venom literally all's you need to do is paste my code from the discussions into your game.ini for Alpha's to drop them. Very quick and easy and if you wanna mess around with Ark Mods you're going to end up doing it eventually anyway, man.

Since it's sungleplayer, just spawn one in with admin commands.

can you add separate craftable versions of your mods for people like myself who only play single player and don't want do tons of editing of the ini files just to acquire an item, it's a lot of stuff to constantly keep track of, especially if something goes wrong

I certainly hope it's possible. I have been using these bags non-stop for farming resources and bosses and after a little while the manually exiting the inventory screen, looking down for the bag, clicking E, then waiting for it to load for 1 second because you have so many mods & too much crap on your character rn gets sooooo damn old! Still love the mod. It's just the way Ark works, after going through this quick process for the 1000th time, this tiny thing feels way more crippling than it should. Doing this change (if possible) would also complete the illusion of it being an actual bag in your inventory as a little plus. PS I have been promoting this mod on some Ark youtube channels/vids every now and then so hopefully that will help it get a bit more exposure.

Auto opening is probably possible.

Nothing on the silencers, been distracted.

One Thing I wish was possible is upon using the bags auto-opened their inventory (so we don't have to exit manually & 'open' it every time). Possible? Also.. any news on the PVE silencers?

@garth033 could always (if you're on SP/Admin) throw away the bag, then, upon transfering to new Ark, add one until you get the same quality and drop the extras. Very Jury-rigged, but simple fix for now.

fair enough! Great work by the way, I love the concept of personal portable storage.

I'm sure it's possible. Transferring between servers throws a lot of wrenches into the mix, to say the least.

Let's just say for the immediate future, not going to happen.

though yes, that is a valid point, it does create some confusion (growing with the shrinkage of the bag inventory). A quick bandaid would be to alter the code to use the configured amount +1 and leave the rest of the code (i.e. the description) alone. but I am only bringing bugs to your attention, what you do with it is ultimately not something I can or will force.

When I was making it, I used larger numbers, to the point where 1 slot didn't matter. That being said, if you're using smaller slot amounts(3, 5, 10, etc), each slot is consequential. Easily fixed by you guys. Just change the config for an additional item slot.

Noticed a small bug, the bag is only able to hold the configured amount -1 due to the bag Icon taking up a storage slot. you can also see this happening in the screen caps as only 2 items are in the bag, but the middle panel shows 3 items in the bag.

I understand. I was hoping the silencers would be next (as no mod makes them useful for PVE and there are mods that add new versions of working gas nades), but either way I am happy! Also... just noticed the bag's description changes according to the ini sizes/reductions... very cool!

Can I age a keg of ale in it?

Not sure yet. Probably useful grenades.

Hey just curious and wasn't sure where to ask you, but are you working on making silencers useful for pve next?

True.. to each their own. I prefer bit of balance, but I see what you mean. Anyway.... thank you so much for this mod.

People all have different play styles. I think the smaller is cool, but lots of people are just lazy and want huge storage. Can never win. That's why we have configs!

BTW: just a small suggestion to make the bags worth getting multiple ones.. I would set the default sizes to my 5/10/15/20/25/30 slots. The current sizes make it to where you really only need one decent one. People could still set them bigger if they wanted via the ini. Just my opinion...

Just added the codes to the discussions. I really hope this mod takes off! I love using it.

Technically, they arent found anywhere. You can only get them via admin commands. You can edit vanilla ini files and add them as loot to alphas or bosses/loot crates. That would be my suggestion at least. There's an app called Beacon that can assist with that, if you're unfamiliar with the methods.

The bag can be transfered into dinos, storage, etc, totally safe. If you die, the bag will be on your corpse. If you lose the bag, ie your corpse decays, your stuff is 100% unretrievable.

Anyone can use the bag and access the contents, so be careful.

Seeing as the quality really has an impact on the power of the item, I don't see how it could be craftable. Maybe I'll add them to the genesis loot crates or something, after the dev kit is updated. If not, it's up to admins to decide how best to distribute them. I still think boss loot is ideal.

Enjoy.

Thank You So Damn Much! I have wanted this since I first started playing Ark. Being able to find different qualities of bags was just a beautiful cherry on top! BTW: are they found on all dinos or....? And how is compatibility with 'keep inventory on death' mods?
