Hey all, I turned tracking comments off on this mod on purpose as I was dealing with health issues and work in real life. I accepted two requests to people who wanted the code and gave it to them over the past 3 years. I don't think they ever did anything with it. As I said, I am not posting it on github or anything in case I wanted to come back to it.

I may still pick this back up should I decide to ever return to Ark. I still have all the original code and I know it has since been badly broken, which was why I marked it discontinued. I am also still in the Ark Modding Community Discord under the same name, so finding me there to message me on Discord if you want the code was and is the way to go.

Since other people in here wanted to re-make this mod, with it being old and depreciated, I have decided to re-make it. Anyone can go find it on my steam workshop since I feel like posting the link directly is a bit impolite.

Author has ignored everyone....
MokahTGS 26 Feb, 2021 @ 7:42am 
Please just make this open source so the community can fix this. Not being able to track tribemates is the worst.

Not sure if this helps but here is their profile link.

However though their most recent activity on steam is back in April of 2020 so good luck on the quest to fix and continue the mod @Mindless2831

I would like to fix this mod, I want to take you up on your offer if you are still willing. This is one of the single most important mods on many people's servers.
CallMeKnuckles 29 Jan, 2021 @ 11:11am 
Would be super nice if they would let someone fix tribe tracking. It is the main reason I added the mod.
VulcanTourist 24 Jan, 2021 @ 4:58pm 
Mod also captures [LShift+F1] as well as [F1]

When [lShift+F1] is pressed to trigger the main menu of a certain other mod, this mod captures the combo keypress and interprets it as if just [F1] was pressed, locking the player out of the other mod's menu and forcing this mod's main menu to open against wishes. That same other mod also uses [LShift] with [F2] and [F3], but those in fact work as expected, allowing the separate features of both mods to be activated.

I am weeks new to Ark. While I know there are other games whose fundamental keyboard handling is just that primitive, I've seen no evidence of that in this game. Then there's the confirmation from one combo key being intercepted but NOT two others. I conclude from this that it's a flaw in this mod's scripting.
mindless2831 14 Jan, 2021 @ 7:07pm 
The only thing that just stopped working recently is the fact that you can't see your tribe mates, so you can't share waypoints and such. I am hoping the F3 key will allow me to at least tag a tribemate temporarily and then that'll be ok until the dev decides to update this. I would love to update this for you if you would like, as I have extensive modding experience. Please let me know if your are still interested in allowing someone to do so.

this mod is super! i love it
Evolvei 28 Dec, 2020 @ 5:45pm 
This mod is still working and I hope it continues to work as I would not want to be without it. Great Mod.
MrUnsympathisch 16 Dec, 2020 @ 7:55am 
i know but i hope any one can help me
Joker 11 Dec, 2020 @ 5:30am 
This hasn't worked in a very long time. Read the notes:

"I am no longer playing Ark and no longer maintaining this mod until further notice."
MrUnsympathisch 11 Dec, 2020 @ 4:33am 
i cant see my tribe...
Kingsofslayer 17 Nov, 2020 @ 3:36pm 
@n0proxy i get what you say. like so hard to find easy stuff like a simple way-point for tribe. being a survival and tribe focus there's not many things that you can interact with tribe members
Customer's Success is my Goal 16 Nov, 2020 @ 1:38am 
does this mod work on official servers?

Ryker 3 Nov, 2020 @ 7:00pm 
Works fine for me Crystal Isles.
n0proxy 25 Oct, 2020 @ 10:43pm 
Is there a replacement for this yet? I can't believe this is literally the only mod that adds markers for tribemates to your map... every other kind of mod has 10 different versions created by different people, but this was one of a kind. I miss it so much.
sponji 26 Jul, 2020 @ 3:46am 
Can you or anyone add the feature to create a waypoint at a specific coordinate so you do not have to travel to the specific location? If it is already a feature, let me know. I would like to use this mod to quickly locate rare ocean crates and finding their specific coordinate for all locations is time-consuming. I know you are not working on it at this time, but just a recommendation if you come back. Great mod btw! :)
e007eragon 25 Jul, 2020 @ 12:59pm 
@zamirathe if your offer still stands, I'd like to take a look at working on / fixing your mod. I've been working on my own mods on the side and while I can't say for sure if i'll be able to fix the issues, i'd like to try. Your mod became extremely useful for my group and it's been difficult playing without some of the features that got broken recently.
Tenoblion 18 Jul, 2020 @ 2:00am 
I have the Problem that my Tribe Mate isnt in the List before and after i click on the Cloud and mark the Share Button. So i cant Share my Waypoints :tcry:
Valentin 24 Jun, 2020 @ 10:03am 
Dont work with me
TheEpicHipster 21 Jun, 2020 @ 3:01pm 
This mod isnt working for me, is anyone else having this issue? its not letting me make waypoints or see the UI
Wolvman 14 Jun, 2020 @ 8:12pm 
Zamirathe, would you be willing to share the source code with me? I'd like to implement something similar to this as part of a player/dino manager mod that I've been working and I'm sure seeing how you managed to pull off these features would help immensely.
MokahTGS 12 Jun, 2020 @ 1:18pm 
So has the tribemate tracking been completely broken? I don't see my tribemates as an option in the waypoint UI.
Dark 6 Jun, 2020 @ 1:22am 
if i knew how to use the devkit i'd pick this up in a heartbeat. still need a few pieces of hardware but should i ever get them i'd give keeping this going a shot. havent not used this mod since finding it, it's easily something ark should've implimented from the begining.
rippleping 22 May, 2020 @ 5:20pm 
Oh no, the wife literally can't play Ark without this mod. XD
Dunt goooooo
KensonPlays 13 May, 2020 @ 2:00am 
I honestly can't play ark without this amazing mod. To me, it's an essential mod for a server. I hope someone is able to take on this awesome mod.
Wolvman 25 Apr, 2020 @ 9:53pm 
That's unfortunate to hear. I find that I cannot play Ark without this wonderful mod. I'm currently just starting to learn how to mod Ark myself. Once I get a better grip on the ADK I may actually reach out and take you up on that source code offer. Thank you for creating all of this.
zamirathe  [author] 23 Apr, 2020 @ 10:47am 
I put out the offer last year that anyone who wants to work on it could message me and I would share the source code. To date I have had one request from a friend I've known for years with only a vague interest in it. No idea if they plan on working on it at all, I haven't talked to them since.
Swilleh 19 Apr, 2020 @ 10:29am 
Any alternatives to this mod? Im starting to have lots of issues with it. Can we not make this open source if its not being looked after anymore?
Deathbit 28 Mar, 2020 @ 6:52am 
Anyway to turn off death waypoints... when i die they just multiply... and deleting them does nothing.. they just come back when i die. ... all of them.
Apokolypze 24 Jan, 2020 @ 1:04pm 
This mod works, and is fantastic... on one of my 7 tribemates. the other ones markers wont show up even though i have their tracking toggled on... any fix?
Keveyy 24 Jan, 2020 @ 9:43am 
I am having an issue were my tribe members dont show up in the hud so you cant mark them, even after making a new one or restarting the server it does not fix it
Aaron Tigan 15 Dec, 2019 @ 11:02pm 
Are you still working on revamping this mod?
Dran's head in a box 5 Dec, 2019 @ 2:45pm 
Ah, okay. That would be nice. Thank you.
zamirathe  [author] 5 Dec, 2019 @ 8:18am 
No, not at this time. The waypoint list is actually saved to a hidden object in the game itself. Possibly on a revamp I can look at saving them to a file.
Dran's head in a box 4 Dec, 2019 @ 12:17pm 
I have managed to get the waypoints to show correctly by tweaking some graphic settings. But I have a question... Is there somewhere to see the current locations of waypoints in a file on the PC or something?
Dran's head in a box 19 Nov, 2019 @ 3:32pm 
But my UI size is on max for both UI General Scale and UI item slots scale.
zamirathe  [author] 19 Nov, 2019 @ 3:07pm 
Dran, that issue happened if you scale your UI too far down in your settings. I originally made it for 100% scale and is mostly accurate down to 75% I think. If you make it any smaller, the waypoints become very far off. Nothing I can do about that as the waypoints are considered part of your UI.
Dran's head in a box 19 Nov, 2019 @ 5:47am 
This mod is good for knowing the distance to the target, but exactly where it is is a bit trickier since the waypoints always appears far to the left of where you actually placed them. And the further away you are, the less effective and accurate they are.
khalil 18 Aug, 2019 @ 7:07am 
i will be NEVER lost AGAIN
Boredly 17 Aug, 2019 @ 11:29am 
Has anyone figured out a fix for tribe members not showing up? I can see them, but for some reason no one can see me.
zamirathe  [author] 4 Aug, 2019 @ 4:17pm 
Work has taken a priority right now. I do not know when I will be able to get back to this. :( If someone wants to take a crack at it until I get more time to work on it again, feel free to message me. I am on Discord. You should be able to find me on the modding board under the same name.
zamirathe  [author] 4 Aug, 2019 @ 4:13pm 
Not easily and not with any accuracy. You can still just add a pin to the map as normal.
dtshaw1 3 Aug, 2019 @ 3:42pm 
Is there a way to get these to optionally show up on the map? I feel like it would be less immersion breaking to pin the map instead of having the words floating in the air.
MickeyTJR 1 May, 2019 @ 8:39am 
We have multiple way points showing up. When you die two points show up, two points for each tribe mate, and some have no name.
The ability to reset or refresh way points would be nice, even if it's an admin command.
Keizen 29 Mar, 2019 @ 8:24am 
So far I'm not really having too much trouble with it. Besides it taking a few tries to share waypoints but honestly that's fine. Keep up the awesome work man!
StarlightSovereign 20 Mar, 2019 @ 5:45pm 
Generally now, I login and f1 doesn't work at all. Now I have deathpoints but I can never delete them. :/
