About AwesomeSpyglass

AwesomeSpyglass is a single-item utility mod for ARK: Survival Evolved. It adds an upgraded spyglass that reads out useful details about whatever you point it at, which makes it easy to size up a target from a distance.

  • Targets: creatures, players, structures, eggs, loot and supply drops, among others.
  • Player options: each player can adjust many display settings.
  • Admin control: features such as GPS, crosshair, food and buff lists, outlines and each target type can be switched on or off server-wide, in game or in the INI.
  • For modders: other mods can show their own creature info in the spyglass window through a custom tag, which Ark Eternal uses.

MODDERS

You can add custom info to your dinos and it\'ll display in the UI!
Just add a custom tag to your dino that starts with [code]:SpyGlass:[/code] All following text will show in the UI. Ark Eternal makes good use of this.

INI Options

INI options will only take effect if \\ARK\\ShooterGame\\Saved\\SaveGames\\AwesomeSpyGlassServerSettingsV2.sav does not exist. The save file gets automatically created if one does not exist and uses the INI settings to create it, else uses default of everything enabled. After that you must use in game settings or delete the save file to reload new INI options. In game settings override INI.

[code]
[AwesomeSpyGlass]
AllowGPS=True
AllowCrosshair=True
AllowFoodList=True
AllowBuffList=True
AllowItemList=True
AllowOutline=True
AllowPlayerTargeting=True
AllowStructureTargeting=True
AllowCrateTargeting=True
AllowLootTargeting=True
AllowEggTargeting=True
[/code]

Enjoy :)
