Resource Spawn Block Reducer (Obsolete)

Description
This mod will no longer be updated, since the features have been added to the game, with better support.

This mod severely reduces the radius, around structures, at which resources respawn. The resources will still require the player to not be around in order to respawn, and I have not adjusted respawn timers any (nor do I intend to.)

It appears that this may work on an existing map, but it does not cause respawns around existing structures unless they get destroyed and rebuilt.

If you are running cwm33's Statera Vis mod, which has this same feature built in, please do not use this mod as it may cause unintended results.

That INI entry never worked. But your mod runs just fine. :-)

Ah, glad it still works, then. I thought you had mentioned that it hadn't. I haven't had a chance to look into it, yet, so I'm glad it's working for you.

Using it now. Works like a charm - thanks for having developed such a great mod!

Yes, I can imagine. But I am not sure if the devs would prohibit to change those values with mods. I am sure, it might be ust a changed variable name or something like that. Not sure, though. But I am feeling happy you want to try. Maybe different mods, one mod for structure distance 0.2, another for 0.3, another for 0.5, and so on. And mods for plaer distances, too, same way.

Unless the mod system has changed dramatically (which it likely hasn't), then reading from an external file isn't going to be possible. There's not even a scripting system. It uses the most basic options in the unreal editor for modding, so there's a lot of restrictions. I don't currently have the game installed, or the mod tools installed, but I will try to look into it, at some point, when I get time. However, if it's not working, out of the box, I'm not sure what will need to be done, since it means that they've either changed the options for this, due to adding it to the game, or removed it from the available moddable features, entirely. Everything that can be modded is controlled, pretty strictiy, by the devs.

I did all this. I even made sure that both INI files have the same contents (one was empty before). Trust me, it is not possible to use that configuration trick when playing a single-player game in offline mode. I think, these settings function only if you run a server-based game. That is, why your mod is currently the only hope. Try out by yourself on your own computer - offline and single-player - those settings do not work and are being removed each time you enter them into your INI file during or after the game. All of us who play single offline, eperience the same problem. What about making it reading an eternal tet file that has ust two numbers in it, one for the structure distance and the other for the player distance. Trust me, your mod is the only hope currently. What about an eternal tet file that has just two numbers - structure and player distance?

Also make sure those are under a section, in the file, called [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]

At the moment, I don't plan on updating this, because when it's in mod form there is no way to customize the values. Take a look at these and make sure you're editing the correct Game.ini file for singleplayer. https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=467912585 https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/app/346110/discussions/0/530649887196686307/

I don't think, it functions at the moment. But maybe you can make it function again, that is my hope. Those settings in that INI file seems to be functioning only in server-based games, multi-player. On single-player offline games, those entries seem to get removed automatically. So we all single offline players around the globe really need your mod to function again. You are our only hope. ;-)

I think, from structures, it was about 10'ish ft - players, I don't remember offhand, sorry. I honestly can't say whether or not the mod works with the current version of Ark, however, so don't be surprised if it has no function, at all, anymore.
