Hi, one way would be to create screenshots of the creatures and use the OCR-feature of ASB to add the creatures to a library (OCR is not perfect, manual adjustments may have to be applied). Instead of screenshots you can probably also use a stream of your ps4 on the laptop and grab the data from there (you may have to adjust the "Capture from" in Settings - General - OCR. A very fast way you can use if you have access to the save-file of the server. This is only possible if you play on an unofficial server and the admin provides the file (which they probably will not do if it's a PvP-server, to not reveal info about other players). If you have access to the save-file, you can import this after converting it with ark-tools, some more info can be found in ASB - Settings - Import. For using ASB, you only need to enter the most useful creatures for breeding, you can leave out species you don't want to breed, and creatures you know you will never use for breeding.

Good idea, I'll add a checkbox for that in the next version.

Hi, thanks for the report. I found the cause of this bug, it will be fixed in the next release.

You can use the program of course with any resolution. To use the OCR, you need an OCR-config-file for the resolution of your screen. If there is no file available, you can create one, see https://github.com/cadon/ARKStatsExtractor/wiki/OCR for more infos. You can save the file in a shared folder (e.g. dropbox, googledrive, etc.) and then enable the autoload and autosave option. see https://github.com/cadon/ARKStatsExtractor/wiki/FAQ#how-can-i-share-the-list-with-my-tribe-members-and-edit-simultaneosly for more infos.

Hi, what do you mean with importing? The typing in values, the OCR or the use of ark-tools? For the overlay you need to load the correct OCR-file, located in the json-folder. Go to the "Experimental OCR"-tab and click on "Load OCR config" to choose the file that matches your windows-resolution. Hi, did you try the "Partly Event" checkbox? It's made specifically for creatures that were raised partly during an event (or generally said with different raising-multipliers during their growing).

Yes, I'll add an option for the status-update in the next release. Currently, a new import will set all creatures that are in the save-file, but not on that server (e.g. on another server or uploaded), to unavailable. If using the import-feature with multiple servers, that creates this unwanted effect. thank coldino for the creation of the import-feature

That's probably due to the naming inconsistencies ingame. If there is no exact matching for a species, the importer takes the species that looks most similar. For the "Aberrant Paracer" and "Ovis" there should already be a fix. For other species it would be good to know what exactly get's confused with what.

An imported creature has for all levels a zero if the creature is not alive anymore and only appears as an ascendant of another creature. It's time consuming. I started a mobile app, but currently I just don't have enough time for that.

Hi, I don't think that there is a discrepance between the current xbox and steam-version. Are you on an unofficial server? Maybe you need to adjust the stat-multipliers. Incase you want an older values.json, you can find a list of old releases here: https://github.com/cadon/ARKStatsExtractor/releases Hi, it appears you have to execute ark-tools.exe update-data once to create a file called ark_data.json. After that it should work. I'll let the tool do this automatically in the next release.

It was just added in the last version for exactly the issues with the S+ Nanny

Hi, for that there's the "Allow more than 100% imprinting" in the general settings. Also you may have to check "Partly Event" in the Imprint-Quality-input to make the extraction succeed.

Some users told that they use a streaming-tool to get the xbox-screen on the pc. Then you can perform a OCR from this video-stream (choose the streaming-app in the ASB settings in the OCR-section). I have not tried that yet, not owning an xbox. If that doesn't work, you can still just enter the stat-values manually in the tool.

Hi @hardcorebreeder and @kitvor, the latest release (0.24.3) should solve the aberrant-variant HP-issues.

Hi, according to the game-data the stats of the aberrant variants should be exactly the same, but I got some other reports that the aberrant spino didn't work. Maybe there's another multiplier for the aberrant-species, I have to check this. Can you post a screenshot of the aberrant spino?

Try to increase the "Wait before screencapture" in the general settings, default is 500 ms, try a value like 1000.

Hi, maybe you play in the windowed-mode instead of windowed-fullscreen?

Hi, go to the "Experimental-OCR"-tab, there to the Output-tab and check "Enable Logging and Editing". Then click on Read Values from ARK Window. Maybe you can then see a reason for your issue in the Output-window. Common causes are that your screen has a resolution that is different than the config-file you've loaded for the OCR. Another reason could be that you have two monitors, I haven't figured out why this causes troubles, but some users with multiple monitors have reported issues.

Hi, a creature will not pass imprinted stats, only the stat-values after a creature hatches are considered. Apparently the argentavis with 894 was imprinted 8 times with an imprinting bonus of 59%. Despite the higher stat-value, it still will only pass on 50 levels in weight and can be considered worse regarding breeding than a non-imprinted argentavis with 53 levels in weight and no imprinting. Killing the 894 argentavis did not make you lose your top-weight argentavis. For more infos on how breeding and imprinting works, see https://ark.gamepedia.com/Breeding and https://ark.gamepedia.com/Imprinting

The extraction works if you uncheck "Consider Wild-level steps" in the settings. Then the tool estimates a wild level of 326. With a max-wild-level of 350, the possible levels in the wild are probably not in steps of 10 either, so this setting if probably of no real help.

Can you post a screenshot of the ptera-inventory?

Hi, it works if you uncheck "Singleplayer Settings" in the tool's settings, and set the WildLevel-multiplier of Torpor to 1. Are you sure this value is 0.5 and not 1 in your ini-files?

Hi, please post a screenshot of the inventory of a creature that doesn't work, along with a screenshot of your settings.

Hi, thanks for the report, it'll be fixed in the next release. Hi, probably the second pego that needed the old values spawned before the change hit the game. Creatures can keep their stat-values for some time even if they change with an update. After some time they usually get recalculated to the latest values. I guess that's what happened here.

Didn't know this is possible. If you changed the base-values / values per levelup, you can adjust this directly in the classicFlyers.json. For more infos on how to do this see https://github.com/cadon/ARKStatsExtractor/wiki/Mod-Values

Yes. Did you change only the values for certain species? I thought this is only possible with a mod. Then you have to adjust the values in the classicFlyers.json or whatever extra-value-file you have loaded.
