Strange, when I install this the engram shows up, but when I try to learn it it just fills and empties instantly. Maybe I am missing something? It looks like it should be working properly, but for some reason I cannot actually learn the blueprint.

Just posting to let people know this mod still works great!
If you have issues with the "ini settings" follow the instructions above. (It is very simple)

\GameUserSettings.ini

[GFAR]
DurabilityUsePerShot=1.0
PreventDurabilityLoss=False
FiringSpeed=2.0
FiringRange=7000
ProjectileSpeed=1.0

Doesn't seam to be working

Currently installed the mod and for some reason it crashes my game when crafting arrows, or when i have normal grappling hooks and crossbow on the hotbar at the same time i have the G.F.A.R.

Hey does it work in boss fights??

FYI, yes these grapples work in Abberation.

Does the GFAR no longer work on tribe members or tribe dinos if you disable friendly fire in a PvP server via bDisableFriendlyFire in the game.ini file?

nice

does this work for prim+
Planing on wiping all our servers and do primitive but this ones a must, but since crossbows aint craftable on prim+ then can we use it?

I don't have Abberation, can't answer sorry.

Does this make grappling hooks work on Abberation?

@Swaffles I can only guess it's something on the server...it uses the vanilla mechanics entirely for the grapple functions, so I'm really not sure what would interfere.

Odd thing to report. First off: I love this mod. It has made my time in Ark so much easier and has led to a lot of funny moments. However, it doesn't like this most recent server I've affiliated myself with. When i press "C" to recall it, it kicks me out of the server. It happened 3x in a row. Any suggestions?

I set the fire speed to 0.7, but it still doesnt work right. The default grappling hook has an instant hook when you hit c, and you can reattach to something instantly. This mod is not very useful as is.

It doesnt work like the regular grappling hook. You cant detach and immediately shoot like the default can. So that means you fall in the lava. :-(

thanks so much for this! it's awesome :)))

@allouzion 0.5 would be four times as fast as the default setting, yes.
Just note that the animation will not fit the speed (but you can fire before it visually reloads anyway)

Just to see if I am understanding this right... if FiringSpeed=0.5 does that mean there is pretty much no reload time and you can fire it back to back to back instantly?

Ah beautiful, I much prefer this solution vs others. Thanks mate, great job and much love for having it configurable!

Thank you so much I love this mod! Works great

Hellow my name is Alex and I want to ask someone to put some ScreenShot or a video whith how should i make this weapont to work becouse i can't do it .

Just featured your mod in a showcase video I made :)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KX8Pm4hlDWQ

thanks for this

for me it just dissapeared when it hits the ground, now i have fast grapple mod wich works fine and tried the reusable+ but that crashes the game entire gamelol , tho i mightv hit a patch of weird land ,wich you cannot build on i found out later, but the other one worked fine on it so no clue wha happend.
others who see this, this is the first time this happend in years and its a really good mod ;) try it

what disappears? and can anyone else confirm it?
If you're talking about the hook itself, make sure it hits something. If it reaches maximum range it resets just like vanilla does. (except you don't waste the hook)

didnt work for me just dissapears

It is exactly the same as the keys for the normal Grappling Hook. https://ark.gamepedia.com/Grappling_Hook
(crouch or reel-in+jump)

underdogau it took me a minute to figure out too. Crouch to unhook!

How get it let go of wallonce need it to let go? Also seems bugg out server causes go all shutter if use it mod being removed fromserver to unstabble

@Harzer Roller I originally made this because I don't LIKE reusable plus's way of doing things. And wanted additional options to work with.
Reusable plus only re-adds an item to your inventory after using it.
This is what I see as more balanced as well as far more customizable.
This was also my way to learn the system and figure out ways around problems, I enjoy creating mods.
As for making a "remastered reusable plus" that mod was still in active use and development when this was originally made. Besides, why make something that already exists?
Your opionions are your own, but I do not agree on the same.

Why do you do all this work for nothing ?! instead you could have make a remastered reusable plus ?! that is so fucking dumb

@ibigfire, I haven't tested maximum range at all. I believe the max I tested at was 14,000 (double default to be sure it was working).
As for warnings, it's possible the rope/grapple may not show properly if it goes too far, or it may despawn mid flight at too high of ranges.
Though I don't expect it would despawn unless it goes past render range...possible same as dino distance or building distance, I can't really say for sure.

Just curious, is there a maximum range you suggest or any warnings against setting it too high?

Lol nvm. I see it now at top. Got ahead of myself.

What is the ini engram name i woukd need to sue to change it from having prereqs. I have another mod that has removed the vanilla grappling hook engram so I can't learn this one either.

Thanks so much for letting us advertise our server! Love the Mod! Keep up the great work!

hi

I literally just updated 3 times in the last 20 minutes....

just as long as I can use my normal mode of indoor transportation (sometimes out door if I don't feel like using a dino) I am happy. So this mod makes me happy. I hope it stays working considering there have been multiple mini patches every (what seems like) 20 minutes.

Interesting, thanks for the info.
I actually duplicated the orignial grapple files before editing them for this mod. I even duplicated a few that weren't going to be edited (but were small) just in case they changed something and it messed up the grapple....so I guess I succeeded in a way I didn't intend.

I am chalking this up to recent updates and patches breaking the game itself (seeing as a few other mods are being broken in various ways as well) so I am very thankful that this one still works 100% (I probably shouldn't say 100% since I haven't tried customizing in the .ini file yet).

just did a test and can confirm this mord works even when the Vanilla mod does now. Unsure as to what got broken, but it is damn nice to have a grapple hook that works again.

Also to elaborate on the prior problems I stated:

-Vanilla Grapple Hooks refused to latch onto walls, building structures, or the world itself. It could latch onto my Basilisk though. And each time you shot it, it would consume the ammo for it without giving it back. So shooting at a wall or other surface would lead to wasted materials due to it consuming the hook but it not working like it should.

-Reusable Plus Grapply Hook just flat out caused Fatal Errors for still unknown reasons. There is a literal flood of people it has affected posting in that mods bug section.

I've never run into that issue so I can't really give you an answer, let me know what you find out though

random question before I actually attempt testing it (will probably test before an answer is had) but does this work properly? I have noticed that Vanilla Grapple Hooks have issues where they don't attach to surfaces like they should, and the one provided in Reusable Plus causes the game to crash. Just curious if it will work properly, or if the recent updates broke the grapple hook in general.

If you go too low on a firing speed the reload doesn't match up, but you could technically have it set to 0 to instant reload (would be 0.2 seconds or so)

I said that wrong. I meant the reload being shortened

@Yung Venuz See the INI Config section, firing speed

Would it be possible to have the grapple quickly fire (Immediately after detachment)

<3 this frikin mod.

Currently installing this on my cluster. Will report level of success.
