Personal Waypoints [Discontinued]

I am pretty busy real life and have no desire to work in the dev kit to try to fix this mod at this time. If you wish to try to fix it, please message me and I can share the source code.

You are free to keep using the mod as is.

I will not be making the code open source in the event I do decide in the future to return to working on it.

Mod ID: 1493938516

1. Add waypoints with the name and color of your choosing. Don't like it, edit it later.
   
2. Delete any waypoint from your list you don't need anymore.
   
3. Set your own keybindings (limited keys) for easy access. Saves on a personal player basis.
   
4. Server ini options to change the default keybindings for your server.
   
5. Track your tribe mates easily to see where everyone is while playing. No more guessing using the map.
   
6. Tag any dino or non-tribe player with a waypoint that follows them as they move.
   
7. Died? No worries, a waypoint is automatically added at your deathpoint so you can get back to your bag faster.
   
8. Waypoints are saved on the server so they are there even if you wipe your game on your computer.
   
9. Don't want all those names across your screen? No problem, they can be toggled off/on individually or all at once.

The server owner can change these. If it doesn't work, contact them for the defaults.

• F1 opens the main UI.
  
• F2 will toggle all waypoints on or off.
  
• F3 will set a waypoint on the dino/player you are looking at. Works while riding or using an item like a spyglass.
  
• Holding H will show your keybinds over the waypoints icon in case you forget them.

Thank you to everyone who voted! I ended up 42 out of 61 mods and was happy to get that far. Woohoo!

• The system does take a bit to initialize when you connect or respawn. Give it up to 20 seconds before you try to do anything.
  
• There is a limit on waypoints that you can have per server. Adding deathpoints and shared waypoints do not check for the limit when adding, but are counted as part of the limit. The default is 30, but can be changed up to 100 by the server owner in the ini config.
  
• If a tagged non-tribe player or any dino disconnects, dies where their body is destroyed, or uses the obelisk to upload, any waypoints tagged on them will automatically be deleted.
  
• Tribe members have an icon next to their waypoint name that is green if they are online, red if they are dead (but haven't respawned and haven't been eaten), and grey if they are offline. Unlike the dinos and tagged players, this waypoint is persistent. It will, however, turn itself invisible if the tribe member is eaten and hasn't respawned, or uploads at the obelisk. If it turns itself off and they come back on, turning them visible again should initiate a new check to find their character to follow again.
  
• Shared waypoints are automatically added to the selected tribe member's lists if they do not already have the waypoint. No notification of the share is made to either party.
  
• Deathpoints get added automatically on death and must be manually deleted when you no longer need them.
  
• In singleplayer, all tagged dinos will only stay on the screen if you are in render range or have turned off hibernation in the settings. With hibernation on, the dino tracking is lost when out of render range and the waypoint is deleted.
  
• This mod was designed with UI scaling at 100%. If you move the slider in your settings to the left (smaller), it will move the waypoints off the point with it being a greater discrepancy the father your push it left. It is recommended not to take it smaller than 75%. (Known issue with 4k usage and scaling as well that is being looked into.)

I want to thank the great modders over on the modding Discord for their help in answering my questions. A very big thank you to Lethal (check out his Dino Storage mod!) for putting up with my sometimes endless questions and frustration.

A really big thank you goes out to the Phlinger Phoo Discord[discord.gg] and all the members there who supported me through making this mod. It was that community that got me back into playing Ark and inspired me to start modding. Don't know who Phlinger Phoo is? Check out his youtube channel.
