i cant get it to work, does it only works if i spawn one with this code and tame it ?
Fulk_ 27 Aug, 2022 @ 7:56pm 
this mod still work??
Starker 28 Sep, 2020 @ 6:17pm 
Does "They will however protect themselves from wild predators if attacked." imply that they will damage predators that attack them?

if this is so, then the mod is not working completely. Wild diplos still just nudge anything that attacks them.
TheGoonerGoober 28 Sep, 2020 @ 2:56am 
nevermind, I figured it out
TheGoonerGoober 28 Sep, 2020 @ 2:23am 
Now it's working, but are there any ways to spawn tamed ones?
Burgesssssss  [author] 27 Sep, 2020 @ 9:08pm 
Can't speak for online, but it's working fine in SP. As for wilds not using the attacks, I'll just paste this from the description above...

"Staying true to the dossier, wild Diplodocus will not attack any human or any of their tamed creatures due to it's docile nature. Remaining curious, they still continue to play with and nudge them as the original Diplodocus do. They will however protect themselves from wild predators if attacked."
Starker 27 Sep, 2020 @ 8:46pm 
Wild Diplo's that damage don't spawn, but you can just replace them with the console commands as you come across them.
TheGoonerGoober 27 Sep, 2020 @ 12:15pm 
this mod won't work
Starker 24 Sep, 2020 @ 5:19am 
This mod works great, but wild Diplo's still don't use the new stomp and tail swipe.

So the map in the video is the CENTER!?!

@blackdeathmn Have had it working on my single player world(s) for quite some time now and no problems.
Lord Chungus 12 Apr, 2020 @ 11:41am 
is this working came back after two years of not being able to game on pc and trying to figure out which mods may break my game or not ive restarted 3 times now cause of glitches and issues with mods i see it hasnt been updated in awhile which is a shame cause i like this mod but im afraid it might corrupt my save if someone can just give a yes or no to it working id appreciate it

I just recently downloaded the mod it started off well but then I had to unequip it for some reason that I don't remember and then once I put it back on none of the diplodocus has are spawning in with damaging attacks and I even did a dino wipe with destroy wild dinos and it still will not work I'm on the map Valgurro singlepkayer

Thanks Nice mod !!
spiritchan 8 Apr, 2019 @ 9:57pm 
Is it possible to beg you for a single-seater non-platform saddle?
Worgensnack 9 Nov, 2018 @ 2:52pm 
does this get the ones on extinction too?
indo 28 Oct, 2018 @ 10:51am 
not working for me ;-;
SuperDestiny 15 Aug, 2018 @ 10:11pm 
does this work anymore? I don't think it works for me :(
TEM187 5 Aug, 2018 @ 2:29pm 
Roger that. Thanks for the response. :)
Burgesssssss  [author] 5 Aug, 2018 @ 1:50pm 
@TEM187: The mod uses the same mesh and skinning as the regular Diplo, so I don't think It's something I can correct without copying the mesh, adjusting the skinning, and then re-targeting all anims.
King Wafflemonger 3 Aug, 2018 @ 11:39am 
Bless you!
TEM187 1 Aug, 2018 @ 11:48am 
Great mod. Been using it forever. Just one issue. The saddle mesh glitch is still apparent, whereas it wasn't around earlier. I know it's on the Aberrant variant. Not sure about the vanilla counterpart. If you need a reference, Sl1p's original video with teh actual Diplo shows it perfectly. https://youtu.be/fr4bTysbwp0?t=10m49s
GC259 30 Jun, 2018 @ 2:02pm 
i was just thinking, you should make another mod like this but for the bronto and give it more attacks
Burgesssssss  [author] 29 Jun, 2018 @ 3:38pm 
@BlakeGaming259: They don't currently run in the wild, just fight back. Never occurred to me to implement running lol

Due to being unable to add sockets to the vanilla Diplo mesh, the rider position for the Platform saddle is the same as the regular saddle. To mask this, the player just has a little extra compartment to sit in.
GC259 29 Jun, 2018 @ 3:31pm 
saddle looks amazing!
GC259 29 Jun, 2018 @ 10:42am 
do they sprint in the wild?
Burgesssssss  [author] 17 Jun, 2018 @ 4:04pm 
@stargatedalek: Apologies for the delay. Remaps only affect spawners, not existing dinos. Any Diplos spawned after the mod is installed will be the modded version.
stargateMimhi 6 Jun, 2018 @ 8:44am 
Does this not remap pre-existing Diplodocus? I was under the impression this was what remapped spawning referred to, but my already tamed Diplodocus remains vanilla. Spawned in a new one to test that the mod was loaded fine and the new one works as intended.
Burgesssssss  [author] 4 Jun, 2018 @ 12:19pm 
Taming is no different from the Vanilla version. I personally know the Diplo takes forever between its first and second bite though.
Ruthles007 4 Jun, 2018 @ 11:38am 
Could it be that the there is a problem on abberation tried to tame one passifly but i waited for like 20 min after the first feed but it does not ask for a second. is this a rpoblem with the diplo in general or a mod tweak?
Burgesssssss  [author] 15 Apr, 2018 @ 10:39am 
Still working on my end. Hasn't been a need to update since Aberration.
4rsen1c 15 Apr, 2018 @ 7:54am 
The mod is still being updated or it works fine?
PongoBongo 28 Mar, 2018 @ 6:15pm 
I just walked up to one to interact with the new diplo (this was after a wipe). I sat there for a minute and it didn't push me and then I attacked it and it didn't push me.


Great mods btw, really like the concept of immersive taming
Burgesssssss  [author] 28 Mar, 2018 @ 6:13pm 
@Jacklop21: Noticed you commented on Immersive Taming too. Were you taming it via the mod's methods? If that's the case, once target prevention is unlocked, it technically won't push you anymore, as it technically targets the player to nudge them.
PongoBongo 28 Mar, 2018 @ 5:55pm 
Had my first encounter with the new diplo, he did not push me. He freaked out and eventually just stood still but never pushed me.
Edgarky 17 Mar, 2018 @ 3:24pm 
@Burgesssssss: Not really, only Damn Dirty Apes and Better Mammoths. Tested it, works now, had to unsubscribe, resubscribe i think...I had this mod added for a very long time, didnt check for updates or anything, I was just using it on the Normal Maps,,,,then I started playing Aberration and noticed the Diplo difference lol....thanks for everything!
Burgesssssss  [author] 17 Mar, 2018 @ 1:56pm 
@Edgarky: It's working for both regular and Aberrant Diplos from my end. Do you run any other mods that remap NPCs, specifically the Diplo?
Edgarky 17 Mar, 2018 @ 1:27pm 
hmm, doesnt seem to be working on Aberration, they have the same old no damage push back attack as in the good old times...though I am subscribed since ages ago...maybe I need to unsub-resub ?, but Steam doesnt delete the mods I unsub from, i always have to find the folders manually,,annoying, but worth a try.

But this is a must have mod, I cant play without it.....before Aberration DLC.
Panther 14 Feb, 2018 @ 1:43am 
I hope wildcard will add this to the diplo as a tlc
Burgesssssss  [author] 23 Dec, 2017 @ 3:34pm 
Sorry about the late replies D: I plan to do a fresh cook when the next Dev Kit update lands. Will also add an Aberrant version and look into any potential spawning issues. No plans for platform saddles at this present time.
Why Watt 14 Dec, 2017 @ 6:34pm 
Ok so I've found an issue...
They can sprint while using Tail swipe & stomp... but can't when nudging.
DemonicX 9 Nov, 2017 @ 9:34am 
would it be possable to make them have platform saddles ?
TheGesterr 4 Nov, 2017 @ 4:17pm 
Burgesssssss not sure what the issue is with me then, even on the Island they don't spawn for me with no other mods activated and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I can still manually spawn them in on both maps.
Burgesssssss  [author] 4 Nov, 2017 @ 4:06am 
@Gilgamesh: I've never played on Olympus so it may be dependant on what spawners they use. They spawn as normal on a Vanilla game with only ACM installed.

@WakaSabe: The intention was to keep it as true to the dossier as possible without having them get wrecked by wild carnivores. So there's no plans at this time to disable nudging altogether.
Jules 3 Nov, 2017 @ 9:56pm 
Any chance of options to make wild diplos use the damaging attacks, and stop nudging you to play? I find that immersion-breaking as heck and wish they'd behave like regular dinos.
TheGesterr 27 Oct, 2017 @ 1:46pm 
@Burgesssssss I'm playing on the Olympus map and attempting to use this mod, but I'm unable to get these guys to spawn naturally on the map. Tested on the Island as well and no luck. I can only manually spawn them in.
Jules 21 Oct, 2017 @ 1:17pm 
Hi, thanks for making this mod! God vanilla diplos are annoying, both for their interference in your activities (punting your rex 30 yards with its head. Riiiight) and for just being helpless victims all over the place. Very glad to see a mod to make them act like actual dinos. Subscribed!
