StartFirstSave=0
ReturnItems=False
NumberofOverrideSaves=0
OfflineSaves=True
dev_debug=False

@miguel1234xd The mod is abandoned and presumably not working, odds of receiving “help” are low.

I need more explication about how to use this mod :(. Someone can help me?

For the people that don’t know, pretty sure the mod is abandoned so yeah.

how do you get to see the UI when you press escape?

When is this mod going to be active in singleplayer or at least a command to see the UI in singleplayer

how do i open the menu to drop bag?

seems like it also saves on death. The number of saves doesnt seem to be working as well. there is more than 5 saves per player as well.

Does this mod also save a backup when you die?

so when im playing on my solo world it wont show up (the back up inv) at all it did when I first started it but never again and im not sure what to do any ideas?

i want ask does it work on singleplayer this mod

I'm playing on single player and after having all my gear wiped from hitting the climbing bug I'd love a mod like this to work. Except I can't find a way for it to work.

Heya! Love the mod, when it works. It works well on my Nitrado server, but in single player I have not yet managed to get the mod UI to appear in the pause menu.
Will there be a "Forced" way to open the UI in the future, or is this bug something that is known and being worked on?

Thanks for looking into it!

I've been trying to work on it in the past few updates, but so far have had no luck for some reason, I know other mods do it, yet still no luck.

Is there a way to make it so you keep folders when you die? I like to organize my inventory and every time I die I have to re-organize it. Thanks for all your hard work!

The problem with 5 automatic backups is you've got maybe an hour to get a ticket put in, for an admin to get online and see your ticket, then log in to the map you were on and action the ticket.

And some clusters have automatic mod updates etc, so without having access to the server control panel you don't know what mod has been updated unless you look at the mods directory on your own pc.

Still love the mod, but communication should have been better.

Like you said, you should have noted about the default value change, cos even if I'd looked at the change notes there was nothing in there saying it'd had gone from default 100 to default 5auto 5 manual which is a massive change.

Also, I guess I hoped people would've looked at the INIs when I talked about adding new ones.

The change notes talked about the admin UI showing stuff. Not sure how else to tell people about changes. lol
I guess I should've noted about the default value change, but after talking to fellow modders, and some other server owners who use my mod, seems like the absurd previously like 100 default saves was un-needed and way too high, and they all ended up turning it down.
Then I had a few people test out the updates, and brought to my attention that the disk space isn't crazy, but given the data, it could get crazy.

I'm a little confused, we've had this on one of our clusters for a short while, and just installed it on the other 2. I went to check this morning to make sure it's working ok, and now there's a lot of details on the bottom of the backup list like Inventory Keeping, Save limit per player etc, that I'm sure weren't there before.
I checked the older cluster to see if I'd had anything in the gus.ini that I'd missed in the new ones, but nothing, everything was default config so no entries in the gus.ini
But now it looks like it's only saving 5 automatic and 5 manual saves per player as standard?

If this is correct then you should really have made it much clearer as it's a major change in the way the mod works. I've now got to go into the GUS.ini for around 20 maps and restart them.

@Temil lol sorry for the slow ass response. Currently it only does online backups, but next update it should have offline death backups/ item return as an INI.

Force it to update, by un-sub and re-sub.
Every mod does this, and has practically always done it.

Hi! I’m currently running a cluster with this mod on it. I’ve had multiple reports of this mod not auto updating with steam. Is this a common issue? It’s happened with both of the more recent updates. If anyone has a fix, please let me know. Thank you.

no ui change, huh?

question on the new feature added called "ReturnItems" .. would love to replace the inventory keeper mod I'm using to do similar, however I'm curious if this feature in your mod also works while the player is Offline, meaning if the player dies while offline, will it save and return that inventory when they login, or does the player need to be online when dieing for this to work?

ahh, gotta love ark some times. well now both yours, and the shadowcloud storage system menus are showing up. i did literally nothing but close/reopen ark 3 times since my last comment. might have something to do with mods fighting for position on that menu, or it simply just takes several restarts before they finally show up. additional menus is something i've extremely rarely ever messed with; so i dont even have an educated guess on why they werent showing up for so long before, and randomly decided to show up now. really wish i had some kind of conflect debug menu i could look over and see what's messing with what. man would that help

lol
I never even realized it was broken like that.
I'm working on an update to add some things, and I will fix that.

Atlan67: basically any mod that adds it's own menu in the exit menu, messes with this mod. so like his better waypoints mod messes with this one majorly. giving a command/keybind would've been alot better than adding a menu to the esc screen, seeing as that, this, and others arent the only one and there seems to be a limi on how many options can be put on that menu at one time.

@Joehelp

hey, your mod is amazing. Have you thought maybe to combine your two mods as one? I mean : Item Transfer Controller and Inventory Backup System. Because people don't like to play on servers where there are a lot of mods. And it would be nice if there was 1 mod with the contents of these two.

Inventory Backup options are not appearing the escape menu after a full wipe and reinstall of the mod.

Has someone figured out what mod can interfere with inventory backup? The mod is loaded, but not apear anymore in the ESC menue. Even to move it within the loadorder makes no difference. I need help...

I have a problem with the new GUI . Sometimes it appears, sometimes not. How can I manually start the UI to restore iventory?

can this mod help to "sort and create" savefiles for solo gaming ? (local servers)
and not only for inventory?

@Joehelp

Is it possible to add a command to open the GUI? Because there is a plugin that allows you to assign appropriate permissie roles and such a command will make work much easier.

Some items dont get back-up pickaxe-shotgunammo-flakChest-flakboots... Maybe more?? Besides that 5 stars very good mod :)

I downloaded this for singleplayer because the anti-mesh system has false-positive'd me while I was trying to park a fish near the border, and that was just the last straw. N e v e r a g a i n.

The new rework with the ESC menu options is very nice. Super convenient.
Also nice that the persistent buff HUD icon is gone as well.

Request: Allow the backups to keep Federation Tek suits.
We use the Upgrade Station mod, and some of our players have spent hundreds of thousands of materials upgrading and augmenting the federation armour, and they prefer the measly 200 armour per piece compared to 1400 per piece, just because of the infinite durability.

@kalvi, its 100 per player (default)

Can this mod support symlinks or junctions for the save files?

"NumberofSaves" limit for amount of inventory backups. (100 by default) - is it 100 saves for a given player or all players on the server?

possible to post the actual ini block please

Yeah, safe to delete any of them, in or outside the folder.
I had to add error check into the admin UI, so if you deleted a file, any other reference to that file, that my mod stores will also be removed.

Ahh perfect, so the user has to be online. Can I safely delete those not in the correct folder?

The saves not in the "Inventory_Saver" folder, is a bug, that I have tried to prevent, but may still occur every so often sadly. Because those files are a bug, they can not be retrieved, only files in the "Inventory_Saver" folder, can be access/ retrieved from. You can most likely not see all 3, since it can only retrieve who is online, since the user needs to be online to get a steam ID.

Hey, im having an issue. Ive got the mod installed. I can see under my saved\savedgames folder there is a long list of .sav files. There's also a Inventory_Saver folder which contains a bunch of folders with steamid's. But when I log into game, use a consumable, the UI only lists 2 or 3 characters i can access. Why is this? Also why are there save files under savedgames and inventory_saver?

The 2nd item, in the description, under "The commands" is a spawnable item, that an admin can use/ consume to open the admin UI.

So how do we open the admin UI to access the backups and give them to a player ?

Yes, GlobalTimer true means everyone saves every set amount of time, while false means that each player has their own independent timer, started when they join.
