Its works fine for your player, but for dinoes, it just dosnt seem to wrok :/
Kinda sad cus it would be a nice mod to have but, can do much.
eddietherat 10 Nov, 2018 @ 5:44pm

RPG_Fail 14 Oct, 2017 @ 1:23pm

Lelo 27 Jul, 2017 @ 11:34pm 
Does this mod still work? And does it work for dinos?
Rotten 27 Nov, 2016 @ 4:35pm 
Looks interesting. :) Buff works for dinos as well or players only?

How do i download it?????? i know its a dumb question but i have no idea, im in ark and went to the GET MODS thing but i dont know how to download this.
Rosewick 11 Aug, 2016 @ 1:28am 
well, I found the Game.ini, it didnt show up last time I searched, but now I found 5 Game.usersettings.ini. 2 of them were empty 1 had all of these overrideengrampointsksdkjj like 300 times
Hirnsausen 10 Aug, 2016 @ 7:29pm 
Hi, thanks for answering. No, I have no other mod that is changing the XP. Though I have many other mods installed, but those are items and such.
Mezzo  [author] 10 Aug, 2016 @ 12:25pm 
@Hirnsausen: Not sure why there would suddently be problems with the XP. Decreasing XP once it's negative makes sense because how the math behind the buff works. Any other mods that could have interfered with the XP at some point?
Mezzo  [author] 10 Aug, 2016 @ 12:21pm 
@Dragon EndreX: If you read the description carefully you will see it says GameUserSettings.ini not Game.ini. They aren't mystical. They are present on your computer. Take the time to google about the topic if you can not find them. You know why modders are using these files? Because it's the only way to add settings to the game. You don't want any mods with custom settings? Honestly i find the things people complain about are getting pretty ridiculous. Modders are not developers, we use what we get from the devs the best we individually can, put a lot of time and effort into mods and then you get people that complain about settings?
Rosewick 10 Aug, 2016 @ 10:54am 
@Dragon EndreX .....is stupid, forgot to finnish the sentence
Rosewick 10 Aug, 2016 @ 10:53am 
IMO, these mods were you need to go this Game.ini thing to do the mod instead of adding something in the game itself. seriuislyjkffkdh, where is this mystical Game.ini thing that doesnt exist in my computer
Hirnsausen 25 Jul, 2016 @ 2:14am 
PROBLEM !
I use your mod since a long time with good results, but just encountered a biiig problem: since the last level increase, my XP is suddenly NEGATIVE and anything I do DECREASES my XP. Help needed, very urgently!
Hirnsausen 18 Jul, 2016 @ 9:50am 
Your mod is a nice and useful idea.
Here another suggestion: create a "Book if Wisdom" (or an encyclopedia) that can be found somewhere or be crafted. Reading it, it boosts the player's XP. Permanently. Each reading gives, let's say, 100 XP. or 50. Or 200. Maybe even different books. Or it could be some sort of mushroom(s). Consume it and the animal or the player gains XP. To make it cool, the XP gain could be random range: -5 to +200).

where are the 'GamUserSettings.ini' i cant find them XD
Mezzo  [author] 9 May, 2016 @ 6:26am 
@Yama: Currently you can not change the time. Im working on a update for one of my other mods at the moment but i guess i can get back to the XP Buff sometime soon. The mod was pretty much tailored to be used on my own servers back then and i gained a lot more experience with modding ark since i did this. I have some ideas to make it more flexible.
Hidey-Ho 8 May, 2016 @ 6:13am 
How can i change the buff time from 3hr to 30min - 1hr?
Noddie 12 Feb, 2016 @ 4:28am 
admin spawn is: cheat giveitem "Blueprint'/Game/Mods/XPBuffMod/PrimalItemConsumable_XPBuffMod.PrimalItemConsumable_XPBuffMod'" 1 1 false
Sunriseing 11 Feb, 2016 @ 12:02pm 
hello is there a chance to disable the buff for crafting ? and have a admincomand t spawn these? :)
Noddie 11 Feb, 2016 @ 3:24am 
TheCherry´s idea is nice. With different XP Buffs you can make challenges on the server and give the winner an XP Buff to different Levels ;)
Neppii 8 Feb, 2016 @ 10:09am 
Can you do this mod for Tamed Dinos as well? So I can increase the EXP for my Dinos easilier in Singeplayer. :)
Astrophyy 11 Nov, 2015 @ 4:37pm 
can u like just ask for 4 000 xp
?
Kuchi 17 Oct, 2015 @ 2:51am 
Does the xp boost work for my dinos aswell? If no, how to make my dinos xp faster, like me? ;)
Maybe (rgam.de) 16 Oct, 2015 @ 5:13am 
Can you add more steps for the EXP Buff?
Something like this:

[XPBuffSettings]
XPBuffMultiplier[0]=3
XPBuffMaxXP[0]=4350
XPBuffMultiplier[1]=2
XPBuffMaxXP[1]=8350
XPBuffMultiplier[2]=1
XPBuffMaxXP[2]=16050
Mezzo  [author] 9 Oct, 2015 @ 6:44am 
As far as i know ARK has a maximum xp cap at 250000 XP. So even if the server has more levels you still have to distribute them across the 250000 XP. So your solution here is: Set XPBuffMaxXP to 250000 and it should work across all levels. Again the buff does not cut out after you have earned the XPBuffMaxXP this is just to determine the max level you can use it, it always lasts the 3 hours.
About the duration: I can make that editable via ini settings. Expect an update probaly this weekend.
Dean / Noah 9 Oct, 2015 @ 5:45am 
i know how ur mod works, but im asking for smth different ... an xp buff where is no xp value .. wich give you aslong the buff is active xp 3x or 4x what ever but where the effect is only for a duration time of like 10 or 20 min then u have to eat it again. like the other buff foods .. im asking this because we have a server with max lv160 and in close future we have max lv600 for players
Mezzo  [author] 9 Oct, 2015 @ 4:57am 
The XP value you set is not the maximum XP the buff gives you it is the maximum XP the Player can have till you can't use it. So if you want it to work until the current max level set the XP value to 506186 or higher.
Dean / Noah 8 Oct, 2015 @ 5:24pm 
when i read the discription, i understand it this way, that you use it, then u have a maximum xp u can make till it stops working. past this xp value it wont work .. thats how i understand it ... but i mean it a bit different. that there is no exp limit to it, that it just works till the effect duration is done .. and that it dosnt matter wich lv or how many xp you got ..
Mezzo  [author] 8 Oct, 2015 @ 5:12pm 
@Blacky[GER] That's exactly what this mod does!
Dean / Noah 8 Oct, 2015 @ 4:38pm 
hey, can u make a mod, an xp buff consumable, that when u eat/drink it u get like x2 exp but the whole time till the effect is off?! like effect duration 30 min?
B0rbor4d 28 Sep, 2015 @ 6:34am 
hmm... okay then I'll have to try to find the fault... thx for the fast reply!
Mezzo  [author] 28 Sep, 2015 @ 6:14am 
Hi, just doublechecked and can assure you that has nothing to do with this mod. The relevant values are all untouched.
B0rbor4d 28 Sep, 2015 @ 6:08am 
Hi Mezzo, is it possible that your Mod increases the maximum wild Creature lvl to 150?? It's not that tragic but probably should be mentioned or fixed :)
B0rbor4d 26 Sep, 2015 @ 1:08pm 
Works like a charm now... Thank you for the fast patch :D Keep on the good work :)
Mezzo  [author] 25 Sep, 2015 @ 11:27am 
Issue should be fixed, i cooked the last mod update at a time when there where some errors in the primalgamedata. Thanks again for reporting B0rbor4d!
B0rbor4d 25 Sep, 2015 @ 9:02am 
appreciate that, waiting for response :)
Mezzo  [author] 25 Sep, 2015 @ 8:41am 
Hey B0rbor4d, i can think of an issue with a faulty template file, i will look into it today, expect an update. Thank you for the report
B0rbor4d 25 Sep, 2015 @ 2:02am 
Hi Mezzo, I've got the problem whenever I activate this mod the creature spawns turn crazy... there will instantly spawn groups of 5+ t-rex everywhere on the server and will kill evrything on the island... if u want a demo i can startup my test server and show you... I already tested clean install with only your mod and always the same happening... I'd love to get this working on our server, would appreciate if you can help me finding the root cause of the problem...
Greystar 11 Sep, 2015 @ 2:05pm 
Thank you, I like the concept just not craftable, besides I already did mod exp, but now as I get higher in level I might consider even using it as is. Good Idea though as I stated it is interesting and I wasn't trying to be mean or anything just observing what other might think.
Mezzo  [author] 11 Sep, 2015 @ 2:05pm 
And here is the override string to add to your Game.ini for disabling the engram:
[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_XPBuffMod_C",EngramHidden=true)
Mezzo  [author] 11 Sep, 2015 @ 1:51pm 
Hey Greystar, i made this mod primarily for (my) servers to give an extra boost to new players without editing general XP or XP level ramps. I will look into a possible option for adding the item to the dino and supply drops if it is possible without losing stackability.

Disabling the engram should work, you can spawn the buff item with the command: cheat giveitem "Blueprint'/Game/Mods/XPBuffMod/PrimalItemConsumable_XPBuffMod.PrimalItemConsumable_XPBuffMod'" 1 1 false
Greystar 11 Sep, 2015 @ 1:08pm 
Hmm, I dont think it should be craftable maybe make it as a random drop items from supply drops or from dinos. Nice idea though. Although if you disable the engram but enable the mod does that mean an Admin can summon one and give it as a reward?
manflo 10 Sep, 2015 @ 5:41am 
I solved it already, many thanks.
Mezzo  [author] 10 Sep, 2015 @ 1:13am 
Hey guys, what's the problem exactly?
The mod should work out of the box if you install and enable it in ARK. The default settings are double XP until Level 40.

If you want to customize the values you need to add the settings block above to your GameUserSettings.ini located in ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

Let me know if you still have questions!
