ASB Export Gun
This mod allows you to export dinos for use with Ark Smart Breeding, as well as acting like Tek Binoculars to show you dino stats. Most features are configurable so server owners can lock them down in any way they like.
Installation
Add ModID 939507 to your Mod List.
Features
- Export dinos directly to Ark Smart Breeding, even from console or GeForce Now
- Quick rename on import support (PC only currently)
- Fast claim and toggle mating modes
- Neuter and kill modes
Description
This mod aims to reduce the amount of work necessary for people to export a dinos stats, as well as allowing you to also immediately open up a rename box if wanted, which combined with ASB's automatic naming feature can allow very quick naming of dinos without having to search through the whole library.
The export gun also allows easier managing of dinos with modes for claiming hatched babies, toggling the mating state of dinos, to neutering or killing them, making the breeding process alot less tedious. The modes can also be disabled individually by the server owner if wanted.
Console support exists aswell, though you will still need some sort of PC that has ASB on it, but you can have the dino stats be sent remotely to that PC.
It also allows you to view the stats of any dino you look at just like the Tek Binoculars. If allowed by the server owner this can even include wild dinos.
Usage
To export a dino simply craft the export gun, point, and shoot.
Switch modes by holding the reload button (R by default) to open the control wheel.
Local File Export (for PC)
By default the export gun exports to local files, which is the best option for PC. To configure Ark Smart Breeding to read these files make sure you've exported at least one dino first (in order to create the directory) then head to Settings -> Import Exported and click the big "Set export folder automatically" button. From them on, new exports should immediately appear in ASB.
Remote Export (for console/GeForce Now)
To use remote export you must first get a token from Ark Smart Breeding. In the Export Gun menu select "Listen" and it'll begin listening for exports and show you your token (as well as putting it on your clipboard). In-game, when holding the gun hold the reload key until you see the control wheel. Select the remote export option and paste or type in your token. All future exports should now be sent to your Ark Smart Breeding - so you'll have to have it running and listening to pick them up.
