@Daniel12788 I unironically made a vastly improved ASA version of this 2 days before you wrote that comment :'D
Was the first thing i got to do once the DevKit update dropped.
I most likely won't update this version here though, since i simply don't have the disk space for another 1TB DevKit on my PC.

To anyone having my problem with crashing by ,,hordefix" leave the game -> put it off - > uninstall it - > Load in new - > Leave the game - > Install mod new and put in loader

We need this in ASA. Too bad they never fixed the osd for ascended.

true QoL improvement! thx

perfect work, thans

Is this the mod that allows you to disable certain OSDs? IE Blue and Yellow

@Fedora, yes I see... Forgot to activate on the server xD

@Fera_spielt Nope, Mod still is working :o

Mod is incompatible now, right?

Doesnt feel, that the mod works anymore :/

Still works well! It's so helpful!

so glad that it still works, nice job!

THANK YOU finally the community has to come out and fix what wildcard wont and they still want more money..

hey,

the mod really make a big difference for us, but a few of my players have reported that sometime it wont show a beacon above buried reapers or say stegos that are a good distance away from the OSD. not sure if there is anything else that you can do but thought I'd mention it to you

So I will be leaving AutoDestroy on until I figure out if I understand correctly... for reasons... but is it permanently present until completed? Or will eventually be destroyed by the game? I'd like the option to just increase the time, simply because I am a solo player 99.99% of the time (I set up a dedicated server, then I remembered I have no friends rip) so I can sometimes have something happen where I die, wander, etc. Is this the option, or something that could be added?

Thank you for modding this! I just lost a red OSD because I had to go rescue a rex that ran off with two corrupted wyverns. I get back and it's despawned $#$%#$%^.
So this is great!
I have a request, can we get an option to extend the time before the first wave, or between waves too? Solo players like me that are using rexes need a few minutes to run around and position everything for the channels the horde will be coming through. I need to feed the velos too during the event, they stop attacking if they run out of food.

Doing OSD's at 68,4 x 56.0, there is never a beacon or marker on the spawns.. and the old 2 remaining lasts a long time.. I've done three here now. Otherwise seems to work great!

Really great mod. It has helped a lot. I do still have some situations where the dinos seem too far away to receive a beacon and I end up searching for the last couple of them stuck on a rock. So, it's still happening but has cut down the frequency a lot.

thank you

@comical
The timer indicates the time that has passed since the corrupted dino actually spawned. Sometimes, this is delayed by a bit, as there are countermeasurements for false negatives in place, because the dinos sometimes are not immediately registered as being part of the event.

Hi

I love the idea behind the mod. does the beacons show up XX seconds after that specific dino has spawned or i it just since the start of the event

or do it only show for example wave 4 dinos XX seconds after the start of wave 4?

thakns

If there is a game mechanism that corruption to attack the player's base, it's like defending an airdrop. Similar to tower defense, hope

Um, just to be clear I am referring to the GUID contained in the modmeta.info file and inserted into the "'mod number'.mod" file by the game client and not the 'mod number' itself.

Thank you for the reply. Everything appears to be working fin here.

Afaik, the Mod GUID only is created one time, when the first upload happened. If i were to reset it, there would be an entirely new entry in the workshop.

The Mod is 90% only running on the server. Only thing the client does is to show the beacon (A Particle System Component of an hidden Buff) when the server says so.
The new Destruction Range logic also only runs serverside.

Mod Devs CAN reset this ID, yeah. But as i stated above, this wouldn't really make sense.
I couldn't really find any issues regarding updates etc. anyway.

So, no, it wasn't intentional. But as i'm aware of, there shouldn't be any issues.
For me, everything updated fine (automatically).

Well it would largely depend on where the mod is doing the work. If it's a server side action then it won't matter what version the client is running.

Changing the GUID is used by mod devs to FORCE them to be in sync. If you're not in sync you'll get the mod mismatch error.

Ferodra can confirm whether it was intentional or not though.

I wouldn't know, that why I asked. First time I have seen a mod update with same UUID. The game client checks it to make sure the mods are in sync, server to client. I suspect if a server has old version and client has new (the most common mod mismatch case) the player may get unpredictable results (you wont get a mod mismatch to warn you something is amiss). I'm not a developer so I don't know.

Why should they be changed? As I understand it that's only required if you need both your clients and servers to be in sync. Otherwise it doesn't matter right?

I don't have time to check if its OK (2 am here)

Looks like there is an issue with a mod used on Extinction map. I'm getting updates to version listed on web site but new and old downloads have the same Unique Identifier. They should be different.(edited)

Big Update incoming!
I managed to practically disable the auto destruction of events when you're too far away from them. There will be a configurable destruction range, that defaults to triple the range of what it was originally.

@Shadowtrance
That's weird... Clearly is a bug, but not sure about that, tbh.

@b4nanabread
It theoretically should work with every mod that spawn those Events.

Does this work on all maps in combination with simple spawners?

Hi, we are using it on a server cluster and some dinos are marked during the wave but not the remaining 5. I was wondering if its an optional ini file setting we messed up or a bug with the mod.

Would it be possible to make it so that naturally spawning corrupted dinos are not able to break structures and make only osd/ele vein spawned corrupteds damage structures? (would help against people luring corrupted gigas to bases to meshbite)

Update: Figured out a way to do this. See update log/New INI Options

@Deep 6
There's one problem with that. Usually, the system checks if the Dino was attacking an element of the event in the last X seconds and then judges based on that. Without that, you possibly could abuse this very easily. Will have to look into it, but it for sure would be a great addition :D

Is there any chance you can include a config option to kill them after a given time as well? I ask because if you're doing drops and veins solo, there's a great risk of the drop/vein despawning while you go hunt down the marked horde dino. Maybe use the buff applying the marker to instead apply damage?

Thank you for this mod. You have done humanity a great service...

@e1429799
That's an issue that plagued my other OSD and EVs mods, until i've come up with an fix for that. (Still have to implement said solution to them).
But i don't see any solution for changing Extinctions system, unfortunately.

It's really awesome, someone tries to fix the bugs wc just ignores. But a way bigger issue imo is, that a lot of enemies get stuck outside of your render range. If you go and hunt them now, you leave the render range of the OSD/vein and it will despawn. Sometimes the waves will just continue, but sometimes they won't. That renders it often impossible to even finish the easiest OSD/veins solo.

Could you imagine to even fix that issue?
Like a server setting that the next wave will be triggered if only x creatures are remaining and y seconds have been passed? Like:
TriggerMaxRemainingEnemies=10
StartNextWaveDelay=120

@jacekagamine
I haven't tested it, but it should work

is this compatible with OSD and elemental vein expansion mods for other maps?

@доставка хрень
It just puts an Marker Effect on them.

does this mod kills them or only marks them?

Hmm, this may have potential. Marking down the mod ID for future reference :)
