how do i set a waypoint

Why keep this alive in workshop if there is an better version by you ?

"No valid data" is displayed. why

which key should I press to make the mod work

Today I found out that Eco has left the modding, because toxic people harass her day in and out with negativity about her mods and it has broken her. It makes me sad to hear and I hope she gets better soon.

I just wanted to say that me, my brother and nephew love and appreciate ALL the work you do for the modding community for Ark. I wish more people would tell all of you modders that what you are doing is great! And not complain and bitch about things you get for free.

Thank you! I hope you never feel bad about your modding.

Oh, and also: fck toxic people they can go off and die in a corner.

Happy to say that I have now posted "Better Waypoints V2", for anyone to use. Be sure to switch mods, and for anyone that doesn't, this V1 will be depreciated to facilitate switching to V2.
Don't worry about your V1 waypoints, they'll be carried over to V2! (But, not your client side settings sadly)

Sorry that this has taken longer then expected folks. But, a full “Better Waypoints V2” release is planned soon. A beta will be posted soon, for people to use if they want, as I do more extensive testing leading up to release.

@Joehelp thank you for the quick reply, I just want to make certain where as currently mine is like this:

The Oldest World (map I intend to play on)
Jack & Jill
Tameable Titanoboa Remap v4.4
Tameable Titanoboa v7.4
ArkDex The Island-Extension
No Obelisks-The Island
Map Extension-The Island
Max Level 200
Alternate Stacks
Unlock Haircuts & Emotes
MarniiMods: Hairstyles
Cute Hair V6.1
Cute Hair
Additional Emotes
|| Hair
Alternate Stacks
Better Waypoints

It can be put anywhere.
But, it may not work. I'm working on V2 currently to have a much better working version.

Where does one put this in their load order, kind sir? :)

Just found this mod and it looks great, Joined the Discord so I can get updates on V2. Might actually wait for V2, depending on the next time I update my mod list and overhaul my server. This seems like it will be very helpful. Thanks for the work you did for this.

@Joehelp This mod is great, but I'm really looking forward to a 2.0! Keep up the good work.

Added a discord to the description.
I hope it goes well. :)

Read the comments sadly. Not good with setting up discord server, so. :(

@Joehelp that sounds awesome :) Is there a way to get notified when you release 2.0?

Happy to report that I am about 20% done with a Version 2 mod, that will be far better, and not have issues, due to my inexperience as a new modder back then.

For people having the issue with editing breaking the UI, using one of the consumable waypoints fixes it.

Is there a way to upload waypoints? Trying to get some waypoints setup in a singleplayer world to use in a non dedicated

Bro, these is just we are looking for to our big RP Server project. I can't find the way to share a waypoint to everyone in the map, please contact to me if it is possible!
Thanks ;)

Editing the waypoint causes a bug that turns off the mode. When the game is restarted, it works normally again. But it's a little uncomfortable because it takes almost 4 minutes to restart. How can I solve this problem?

I love this mod, I'd love to see updates for it!

Currently, there is no way. But, I do plan on like re-coding the entire mod, into a "Better Waypoints V2" mod, to improve it a lot, since I wasn't as smart back then, so the code is a bit weird, I've just been slow recently. :(

Love this mod, and can't play Ark without it!

Just wondering if there's a way to prevent from having to add a way point to a tribe member every time they die?
E.g. when they respawn, I have to add a way point to their character, and vice versa.

Thanks :-)

Editing the name of a waypoint disables the UI and I need to restart to see it again.

Gotta select a waypoint too share, by clicking the handshake icon, for the waypoint.

I cant share Waypoint with my tribe. Its says "No Valid Data"

on my non dedicated server when i play with a friend, if he dies and tries to respawn the game crashes. this is the only mod installed

is there a way to disable player tracking because if players go to trade with each other they can track the other player back to base

Awesome, TYVM Joe.

From my understanding, the person who starts the non-dedicated has to put this "-preventhibernation" in there "launch arguments" via steam game properties.

I had a feeling that's what it was. Thank you Joe. How does one apply this setting to non-dedicated? Add it to the .ini file?

non-dedicated/ singleplayer require that "don't use hiberation" launch argument, since singleplayer, and non-dedicated are known to like delete the dino basically, when you leave render range, and thus making the mod thinks the dino has died, while servers bascially freeze the dino, and make them invisible to the player, but to the mod they still exist, and thus can be tracked.

Excellent mod. ARK wouldn't feel the same without it. Quick question though. I've noticed that sometimes if I get too far away from a dino I'm tracking (a wandering Alpha for instance) the marker will drop off them. The range is somewhere between 5-700m. I know that when marked dinos die the marker deletes itself but these targets aren't dying. I will usually find them later close to where I first marked them and will have to remark them again.

I don't think this is a bug but would the stasis server option have anything to do with it? Me and my friends are playing on a non-dedicated server together so I'm not sure what stasis defaults to in this case. Not sure how ARK handles things out of frame in terms of de-spawning/spawning rules either. Not a big deal just curious if there's something I can do to fix it. Player makers, tame markers, and land markers work fine it just seems to be wandering dinos for whatever reason.

any idea when tracking player will be released? I usually play with my friends in a non dedicated server and they can see where I am but not vice versa as you probably know so that would help out a lot to have player tracking

I like it, it helps me find my base at night

Not sure how to do INI, like text editer version, but thats why theres the "waypoints consumable", being able to access the mod's settings, without overlap issues, then being able to change the F1 keybind.

Several mods use F1. Possible to set as an .ini option?

Thank you Joehelp. It's a shame it could be useful for an admin.

No, the waypoints are just visual, no ability to teleport them.

Hello. Good idea this mod but I would like to know if we can teleport to a waypoint that we created?

The difference is 2 different devs. lol
I tried to make mine look similar, since that was the whole point, too continue the discontinued version.
Sadly, without source code, theres not much I can do, to have the discontinued version waypoints be added to mine.

Does anyone know if there's a difference between Better Waypoints and Personal Waypoints [Discontinued]?
They look about the same, only this mod is supported. If I switch to this mod, is it possible to import the saved waypoints from the Personal Waypoint mod? Thank you.

Thank you for reply. I see. So that was the situation.
Please keep up the good work!!!I'm rooting for you.

I can look into this to be added as a feature, but the order of the waypoints is pretty like integral to the inner workings of the mod, and changing it mid play, could have editing first one, actually affect the 5th one, code wise, and of course visual wise.

Thank you for creating Better Waypoints . This is essential for playing ARK!!!
However, I have one request. I want to change the order of waypoints.

Oh, alright. I do have access to the files yeah. But it's not really that big of an issue. :) Thank you tho!

In theory, if you have access to the server files, you can get your server waypoints onto your client game.

Alright, thank you for the reply! It's not a huge issue, just means I gotta risk my ass a little more. Still love this. Thank you so much!

Aka, they won’t be saved, between singleplayer, and that server.

The placed waypoints are saved per server, or singleplayer maps.
The only settings saved between everything, is the settings menu, with keybinds, and like make death marker settings.
