Hi! What do I need for this mod to work on my server on the Aberration map?

Hi everyone. I've been working with @Splosions to iron out some of the bugs with the existing mod, such as it not always showing in the engram list. Because of how the Steam Workshop functions I have had to make a new Mod ID for the updated code. If you could test this mod out for me I would really appreciate it. The link is:

http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=633215081

I am interested to know if other bugs still exist, like being reattached to the grappling hook sometimes when dismounting a dinosaur or the grappling hook disappearing when you logout and log back in. We hope to add new features in the future including making it work over a longer distance, not breaking when an animal flees and a unique icon. Plus I want to make the crossbow look better (show the grappling hook and reload animations, etc) when using the Infinite Grappling Hook ammo. We will be guided by your feedback :)

Your console command doesn't work. This one does

@Splosions I had the same issue with one of my mods in terms of items not showing in the engram list and with items disappearing on server reboots (for some people - didn't impact everyone). It is probably related to the linking of your level file, PrimalGameData and GameMode blueprints. If you want any help let me know. If you're not keen to update this mod then would you consider letting another modder maintain it on your behalf? I'll send you a friend request but I'd be very happy to help maintain it if you don't intend to :)

To bad it has a few bugs. Would be nice. But players don't know not to logoff with it, etc. Many someone else can do this and support it.

The animals are deadly, can you survive?

Highlight the text - use CTRL+C to copy and CTRL+V to paste just like any other text program.
SavageCaliber 20 Feb, 2016 @ 12:45am

NICE
ZainZhong 19 Feb, 2016 @ 7:48am 
very cool

How about not just making a infinite Grapling Hook mod but rather creating an higher tier electric grappling hook which needs electronics and polymers, so that it's not that cheaty.
Cython 19 Feb, 2016 @ 12:36am 
@Brutal Theory I see. Thanks. You did just kind of prove my point though. That's not a default setting so unless someone knew about it, they obviously couldn't have seen it, and it wasn't available until a setting was changed.

@Splosions By the way, thanks for posting the id for people who didn't know ways to find it and making it more convienient for those who did (but didn't have the settings changed to show it in the main launcher). I look forward to actually trying your mod, I don't need the extra item weight the vanilla grapples want me to add just to use it more than once. Haven't had a chance to actually play the game since I installed Inifinite Grappling Hook.
Saint Brutus 18 Feb, 2016 @ 2:30am 
@Cython You are wrong. Follow these steps to see the url and mod ids as Anoobis mentioned: Go to the top of Steam, click Steam > Settings > Interface > "Display Steam URL address bar when available"

The last portion is located near the bottom of the list of options in the "Interface" section of the settings screen. Also, you're welcome.
Cython 17 Feb, 2016 @ 11:45pm 
@Anoobis Not in the main Steam program. The only way you'd see a url is if you right clicked, selected 'Copy Page URL' and pasted it somewhere else. The url only shows up in the 'in game' shift+tab browser and on browsers like Firefox and IE where you've gone to the Steam pages.

There is no directly visible URL address anywhere in the main, pre-game Steam Launcher's workshop pages, at the very least not mine or that of anyone else I know. It would be nice if they'd add it though.
Dragoranos 17 Feb, 2016 @ 9:18pm 
Also, Bug Found: holding the fire button on the xbos with infinite grapple attached will cause constant firing, and then later, after riding a dino and dismounting, will reattach to crossbow over and over again, rubberbanding you across map.
Dragoranos 17 Feb, 2016 @ 8:19pm 
Anyone know how long until the grapples embedded in stuff despawn? or if they even do despawn?
Dank Loaf 16 Feb, 2016 @ 10:22pm 
Because Batman? Wot if Batman is not infinite hook grapple good?
LuXSmeck 16 Feb, 2016 @ 3:09pm 
So I couldnt read it clearly from the comments: Is it now a green mod?^^ :cgrazz:
Splosions  [author] 16 Feb, 2016 @ 3:00pm 
Would be happy to if updating the mod didn't cause a whole new mod to upload. The mod works people can read. I lost interest :)

Someone with more talent than I should make a real infinite grappling hook mod.
Anoobis 16 Feb, 2016 @ 12:39pm 
@Splosions...some friendly advice. You might want to update your description to notate that the mod needs to be first in the mod list and add the green puzzle piece icon to the mod so people know it's a Green mod.
Anoobis 16 Feb, 2016 @ 12:31pm 
@Cython...the mod id is in the URL when browsing prior to loading a game. This one, for example, is http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=622665004&searchtext=
Anoobis 16 Feb, 2016 @ 12:29pm 
@TheDarkKnight_87...You're either extremely optimistic or naive thinking they're new to this.
Splosions  [author] 16 Feb, 2016 @ 11:56am 
Someone mentioned the engram shows up if you put the grappling hook mod first. Not sure why.
Anekdot 16 Feb, 2016 @ 10:45am 
Cheers Splosions for the excellent idea, however it doesn't give me any extra engram. The only way to get it is by commandline.. :/ Maybe it's interfering with other mods.

im a vaping scum bag
TheDarKnight_87 15 Feb, 2016 @ 8:34pm 
@Anoobis there is no need for that comment. not everyone knows when they start out. did you know everything when you started out? not trying to pick on you just saying everyone needs that helpful advice every now and then.
Cython 15 Feb, 2016 @ 3:58pm 
Ah... It is, which I noticed a while back when looking in a web browser and the ingame shift+tab workshop window... but if they're doing their workshop browsing in the main steam app before loading games... they don't show the url... So if they've never looking in those other 2 versions of the workshop, they wouldn't have seen it.
Splosions  [author] 15 Feb, 2016 @ 2:16pm 
Not that I know of.
Krazyfan1 15 Feb, 2016 @ 1:47pm 
any way to make it so that the line doesn't break when the Dino you grapple to is damaged?

gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=622665004
622665004
Why you all so blind and stupid?
Anoobis 15 Feb, 2016 @ 5:59am 
@ DyingSenpai...like with any Workshop Mod the ID is in the URL of the mod. If you don't know what a URL is, then shut down your computer, take everything apart, then throw it away because your don't deserve one.
< blank > 14 Feb, 2016 @ 9:32pm 
what is the mod ID
OscarMike 14 Feb, 2016 @ 2:33pm 
is there any chance you could add a longer grapple line for when you want to go caving or other such things. its just a thought and a suggestion
Anoobis 14 Feb, 2016 @ 1:36pm 
Thanks for the reply. You might more downloads if you label the mod as Green. Just some friendly advice.
Splosions  [author] 14 Feb, 2016 @ 1:17pm 
No it modifies no core files
Anoobis 14 Feb, 2016 @ 1:16pm 
Does this mod modify any core files? Meaning, is it a green mod. If it is, can you label as such?
ŁōãF 14 Feb, 2016 @ 10:21am 
It works great on my server, now its much more fun! We can easly climb hills and so on, thank you.

Pls dont delete and reupload this mod ^^
Videonauth 14 Feb, 2016 @ 3:11am 
Well i got this one working, it has to be on top of the list.
Splosions  [author] 13 Feb, 2016 @ 9:13pm 
Yes I am seeing the same problem on my friends server, single player and single player hosted the engram shows up fine. Not sure what the problem is. You can cheat spawn the grappling hooks for now
TsF89 13 Feb, 2016 @ 8:17pm 
Hello, I have added your mod to my server, however the engram is not showing up, I am unsure if there is a mod conflict but I have tried removing / readding both this mod and others and have had no such luck in fixing this issue yet. Any advice would be welcome Splosions, Thank you.
Splosions  [author] 13 Feb, 2016 @ 1:29pm 
the mod only does 1 thing, if you look at the way Ark handles ammo and the crossbow, whenever you load a different kind of ammo, you are actually getting a different crossbow each time. If you look at the grappling hook crossbow there is a simple checkbox labeled, Consume Ammo upon firing. I unchecked it. Called it InfGrappling Crossbow, cooked it and uploaded it.

I didn't do anything special.
RADRED89 13 Feb, 2016 @ 11:38am 
Works great, good job! I noticed some of the hooks persisted in the environment after I grappled into the ground, but they went away when I exited the game and came back. Is the range of the hook based on render/draw distance? I can turn that up if so to get better range.
HomeRepairBear 13 Feb, 2016 @ 11:14am 
heres the right command. you're welcome

Splosions  [author] 13 Feb, 2016 @ 10:06am 
You will have to be more specific than "Doesn't work" as I said before I have had several people test it and it seems to work just fine
golddiamond2541 13 Feb, 2016 @ 9:43am 
doesn't work. also whyd you keep removing and reposting mods? whats your reason to keep delete huh. it break our server
