To use the CREATURE FINDER DELUXE press Shift F8 (mod default key setting) to open the search dialog. Choose a desired creature class. You can enter a search text in the text entry field (for example: Tek ) or leave it empty. For an exact search use the "". (example: "Dodo") Make further options like gender or tamed (if ShowOnlyTamed is not set to True in the GUS ini) Click the "Search" button. If any creature is found, you will see an indicator on the lower side of the screen, showing the found creature, the name, the gender, the level and the distance to the creature. the background of the indicator shows the distance to the creature in color: green (<3000) over yellow to red (>=3000m) If more than one creature is found, use the F6 and F7 keys to cycle through the found creatures. The found creatures are sorted by the distance to the player. Of course only creature already spawned can be found. You can disable the search for wild creatures in the GameUserSettings.ini (see below).

Teleport Tamed Creature An Admin on a Server is now able to teleport a stuck tamed creature to his place. The Admin needs to be sure, that the creature fits in the target space and that the target environment can hold the creature. Teleporting a tamed creature will only work as an admin on a server. How to use the teleport feature: 1. in the search window, first target any tribe member or tamed dino of any tribe. 2. search for the tamed creature 3. if there are more than one creatures, choose the one from the minimap by clicking on the green dot. 4. press the house icon on the bottom of the search window. 5. the mod will try to teleport the creature. If this failed, choose another location and repeat.

optional INI (GameUserSettings.ini) entries:

[CreatureFinderDeluxe]
FindAllCreatures=True/False default [b]True[/b] : if set to False, then only tameable creatures will be found - default True is changed in V1.32
ShowOnlyTamed=True/False    default False : You can search for tamed and wild creatures
CreatureClassRequired=True/False   default False
AdminOnly=True/False               default False
ScanRange= (number in m.)      default 1000000 - can be a value between 100 m. and 1000000 m.

The option "AdminOnly" can be used for server admins, who want to find lost pets of any player but do not want that their players use the creature finder. To find the pets of a player, target the player or a tribemember or another pet from the player/tribe and open the Creature Finder Deluxe window. You will see the tribename/playername and the id in the finder window. You need to check "tamed" and you can choose the class of the pet or the name and click search.

If this mod causes lags while searching, you need to set "CreatureClassRequired=True" in the ini.
