Set it to follow you or set it to passive. On passive it will just sit there when attacked so make sure you don't let it die. When set to follow you it will freak out till you kill what attacked it than it will return to you.

The birds are much better since they will kill what attacked them instead of freaking out.

turtlecrunch: May 14, 2013; Hesitation is defeat.

I set my ptero to passive which means he won't fly around if he gets attacked, but I also have to defend him so I can't ever leave him too far away.

If he ever does start freaking out tell him to follow you (J) that way no matter how much he is whizzing around he won't leave a certain radius from you.

When I am collecting rocks on the beach for example here is what I do:

- Land ptero (spacebar) and press U a couple times to make sure he doesn't wander off
- Start collecting rocks
- If I hear combat music or notice him getting ant'd run back and save him, but otherwise ignore him
- Once I get ~50ft away whistle J for him to follow
- When I hear his wingbeats getting close double U again to make sure he doesn't start flying on top of me (which makes me get on him when I'm trying to press E to get a rock, or rather using the script to get it)

He is set to passive the whole time.

e: beaten

Speaking of crazy mounts, my raptor has decided it will collect all corpses as he sees fit, corpse collection setting be damned. Has anyone seen a bug like that before and if so is there any way to fix it? All I've tried is toggling it on and off a billion times.

My pteranodon is set to passive but I had a couple of incidents in the last week where as soon as an ant attacked him, he just disappeared. And I mean literally - he was right in front of me, sitting on the ground and then he wasn't there anymore. Both times I had to get a mate to come and search - he'd teleported a few hundred yards away. I assumed it was either lag or magic ants. :v:

So are pteranodons just schizo for everyone? I'll fly mine up to a drop or something, an ant or fly will show up, and my ptera just goes CRAZY and starts flying around at crazy speeds and away from me. Whistling doesn't have any effect most of the time. Seems like a real pain in the rear end. Are all flyers like this? What happens is I'll try to do something with the ptera, he'll start freaking out, then I'm spending the rest of the night begging people to loan me their flyer so I can go find mine in the woods.

Setting it to passive will help, and you can try to bring up the whistle spiral and whistle for "all follow" before he runs too far off.

But yes, pteros are assholes

I legitimately thought I was going to hack up a lung when you guys were explaining how you got locked inside.

When we got inside we thought we would be goon champions! And then the sinking realization we'd starve to death set in. The funny part was she kept opening doors and we'd get to another room only to realize we were still locked in.

And the c4 bugging out and not being able to be set and detonated killed all hope. Wish I could have seen the dilo suicide bombing attempts.

Sorry guys been busy lately, I'll check out the ini tonight and hopefully get it back together.

edit: should be good to go

I may be taking the server down middle of next month, I don't have the time to admin it and at $50/month it's not really worth it if I don't have time to play or admin it. I will post the map and all your stuff saved here when the time comes so you can download it and start your own server with it or play it offline (I think?). I started the server initially for coworkers but honestly just not enough people playing for me to keep it going.

I saw some cats on our server hanging out in the ground so I know they were telling the truth about that much at least. There are some people making the same claims on the steam forums.

That's what we assumed, but they were all in a field. We just rolled back and updated again, all is well. Weird.

Someone posted an autohotkey script a while back, with a vague warning that it had bugs. I made a fancier version here: http://pastebin.com/usuUEu7w

F1 to spam E (for harvesting plants), F2 to enable auto-walk and F3 to click 20 times. It should also automatically interrupt what it's doing if the game window loses focus (without checking several times a second like the old version did). Works for me on Win7, though the window focus stuff might not be supported on Win8.

As a bonus feature if you're running windowed or fullscreen windowed, you can put the icons from this rar file in the same folder as the .ahk and comment out the "return" on line 34 to have it show them in the top left of the screen when any of the functions are running. This won't work in regular fullscreen mode though.

This doesn't work for me. Is there something else I need to do? I get errors when I try saving this txt file as .ahk and running it.

Maybe I did something wrong. I downloaded the file, renamed to .ahk and then tried launching it.

kaxman: Jan 15, 2003

Nothing looks wrong. I know there was some difficulty a while back with the Autohotkey site, where the project carried on but the people running it didn't have access to the original domain, leading to a lot of version confusion or some poo poo. It's possible you're running an outdated version, maybe?

Could also try throwing in my extremely basic no-frills version of the script that doesn't care what windows are up or draw any icons:

code:

#InstallKeybdHook

$e::
	SendInput,e
	KeyWait,e, T0.25
    If ErrorLevel 
	{                 			
		While GetKeyState("e","P")
		{
			SendInput, {e up}
			Sleep,40
			SendInput, {e down}
			Sleep,100
		}
		return
    }
    Else
    {
		
		 return
    }
return

$!w::
	KeyWait,w
	KeyWait,LAlt
	SendInput, {w down}
return

!LButton::
	KeyWait,LAlt
	KeyWait,LButton
	DllCall("mouse_event", "UInt", 0x02) ;click LMB down
return

Apparently my tribe is a bit miffed at me and I got a 'warning' because I discovered dyes and I spent all evening making the base into a rainbow hellhouse of colors and they didn't like it.

I painted the walls and ceiling and floor and everything in the room with the beds to be bright Pepto-Bismal pink, so when they die and wake up back as base they will know that they are home.
