Nice! So it's like Numbers and Fluffy's Animal Tab combined?

Nice! So it's like Numbers and Fluffy's Animal Tab combined?

I don't know, I tried neither of them.
I just wanted a simple mod that does one thing well, and that is: find beavers and other pests :~)

Could you add an option to show meat and leather amount?

Well, after a quick test, I found that this is similar to Numbers in the way you have a list of all the wild animals in the maps. However, yours adds features like the Animal Tab. Well Done, I like it. BTW, It is compatible With Numbers and Fluffy's Animal Tab so far.

My only concern with this mod is similar to my concern about Fluffy's Colony Manager in that it accounts for animals that aren't in explored areas of the map. So if there are bugs in a hidden room somewhere with some megascarabs in it the tab will tell you that they're on the map somewhere.

I'm going to try this out. I like Fluffy's mods, but I like how this one gives you a button that you can click on to hunt animals. Thank you!

Very nice.

I really like this mod and the way you can hunt and tame with it. Thank you!

Woah! Very nice mod, incredibly usefull. A few features for the future if you are planning into keep updating/improving it:

- Would rock to have each type of animal group ordered by distance to a certain spot (¿Option maybe?). I thought that most colonies have a party spot selected that's usually around the "center" of the colony, so it would be very usefull on big maps to have an idea of how far a Hunter/Tamer should have to travel to do his/her job in a glance. To prevent resource wasting this "distance" should only be calculated once per tab opening... After all is just a particular suborder into each animal group just to have an easy evaluations like "the top Muffalo is the closest... The bottom Grizzly is the farthest".

Thank you all for your feedback and suggestions!

If I'm not mistaken the amount of resources gathered from butchering is the same for all animals of a given species, I think the formula is: more bigger -> more resources. For this reason it seems a bit redundant to me to repeat this data over and over again. How about a compromise in form of an info button that opens an animal's stats window (where this and other data can be looked up)?

I have thought about that, too. While certainly possible I wonder how useful this would actually be on maps that aren't huge (and even then it often takes longer to actually hit the animal than hauling it back home :~). Calculating distances to your base for a few dozen pawns does not sound super demanding as you only need to do it every few seconds. I will certainly play around with your idea to see if it is viable. I also plan to add sorting/filtering/grouping options in the future, or at least try them out and see what is really necessary and what is only fluff (no pun intended ;~).

Thank you for letting me know. I will fix that asap.

EDIT: Fixed.

Simple and Beautiful, this will become extremely useful given the ability to sort and group. I will download first thing tonight.

Is it possible to make the panel only assessible after research or by building and using a "radar"  station? Or is this just makingit too complex?

It certainly is possible. I have thought about this as well, my idea was to add a deerstand hunters would have to occasionally visit or something like that. I decided not to implement that, though. I think this mod provides an essential function so I don't plan to gate it behind gameplay requirements, sorry.
Of course you are free to re-release an alternate version that adds a radar or research requirement, I'm sure a lot of people would like that.

Thank you for this mod  \0/

Saves me scrolling around insanely huge maps (cause I love those) to look for specific pelts to hunt for.

I played with this mod last night, and it has quickly become one of my favorites and a must-have! Well done!

I do have one request though. How difficult would it be to add a column that will show whether or not an animal is a predator or not? It would be nice to be able to open this up before sending colonists far out on the map to haul something to know if there are any predators around that may be hungry. It would also be nice to know what's out there so I can organize a hunting party if they become too numerous. If we are talking about that the animal's hunger meter would be great too, but that may be too much.

Thank you again!

I second the request for showing an animal's predator status. Once this is fixed to not show animals in hidden map areas (I need the surprise!), this'll be a staple in my mod list :)

I would like tynan to adopt this mod into the base game as it feels exactly a base game feature that is NEEDED and did not have.
thank you for creating this mod

Again, thanks for all your feedback and suggestions. it's good to know I'm not the only one sick of playing Where's Waldo: Rimworld-Edition :~)

I would rather not include information about a trait that is not specific to an individual creature, but is actually shared by all members of its species. You should know that bears are omnivores and all cats dig meat. If you don't know yet that's fine, too, because you will learn - limb by limb :~). I would not want to ruin anybodies chance of having fun by discovering the consequences of poorly informed decisions for themselves. However, I will add a warning in case you (unintentionally) command your colonists to hunt a predator, as the base game does.

Also I don't plan to add a hunger indicator. You can use the eye-button to quickly check out the surroundings of the animal you wish to hunt/tame etc. If you spot a panther, you'll have to decide whether the risk is worth the reward. I would not like to take that away from anybody. I only added the medical conditions columns because I thought it'd be fun to spot a tortoise with asthma without affecting the gameplay much. In general though, I believe that knowing everything makes everything boring.

#1: See above.
#2: I have fixed that already, versions on Steam and Github have also been updated (see initial post).

I updated the mod, all sources in the initial post have been adjusted.

Changes:

• Trying to hunt/tame animals that are likely to retaliate (chance higher than 20%/2% respectively) will now produce a visible and audible warning.
• Added an info button to easily look up an animal's stats.

Hope you find that useful, have a nice weekend.

Is there a Way to.... Make it so I can Click one button and my colonists will hunt a species of animals, and when new ones spawn on the map, it auto designates it to be hunted. I love the mod because it Helps minimize Micromanagement, Making this change would even further help in that way.

No, sorry. I think auto-hunting goes beyond the scope of this mod. I wouldn't be surprised if fluffy's colony manager could do something like that, though.

LOOOOOOOVE this mod! Great work! :D

Hello! This is going to be my first ever forum post and I would just like to say thanks a lot for this mod! As I see it, this mod helps so much in the management aspect of the game, though this can "remove" a TINY bit of the feel/immersion of "hunting" because with this, some players can get accustomed to just having their camera fixated at home and just click on some buttons and their pawns go hunting without them even seeing said animals, thus removing a part of the "hunt". Anyway that's just an opinion. I'm still using it now because I tend to play on huge extreme desert maps and it's proven to be a very convenient feature. Great vision and execution, so thank you and good luck with your future work!

Also, question:
When there are no visible wildlife currently in the map, the Wildlife UI goes under the tabs leaving it peaking and unpleasantly cropped. It's creepy. Is there a fix for this? *see below

Glad you enjoy it. I share the opinion that experiencing the game primarily through lists and menus would be a shame. But I don't think that is a big problem with my mod. There's a decent chance that something bad happens eventually if you designate hunting an animal without looking at it first. It could be sitting in the middle of a boomrat pack :~)

Thanks for letting me know. It'll be fixed in the next release.

Would be nice to have an ALL button or a hunt all or tame all

Hi, here is a small update to fix the window size bug. Steam/Github releases have been updated.

@masterpain: Thanks for your feedback, I put it on my to-do list.

Sweet

This is one of my favorite mods! I'm hoping to see it come back for A16!

I've just updated this to A16.  A release is here:
https://github.com/ShawnBuckley/RimworldMods/blob/master/Release/WildlifeTab_a0.16.zip

You are awesome! Thank you!

I'm physically incapable of coping without this mod. I love you so much, dude! I love it! I love this mod! Man! I'm so unreasonably happy and excited about this!

Sorry for being late, Wildlife Tab is now available for a16 (thanks to ShawnB).
https://github.com/lincore81/RimworldMods/blob/master/Release/WildlifeTab_a0.16.zip (https://github.com/lincore81/RimworldMods/blob/master/Release/WildlifeTab_a0.16.zip)

Hi, author Lincore,

I like this mod.
Was wondering, can you do the same mod like this one for trees and agave plants?
Reasoning:
When playing on Extreme Desert i am struggling getting minimal food and wood.
Non stop i search on map for agave and cactuses.
Having them listed would save my time so i can actually play and not constantly search map :(

Be aware, that such mod would be useless on other biomes or may slow down game to crash because amount of trees and plants would be in hundreds or more.

Until he may create such a mod, you should try out the Colony manager (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=16120.0).
You can set up bills for harvest food and chop trees mapwide or just a specify area.

But you need to see the other side, on a tropical forest, there maybe would be a lag when you open these tab :-)

Love the mod, even though there have been no wild animals since the first season (Mountainous ice sheet, temp ranges from -60 to -130) but I especially love when there are no wild animals on my map that the tab says that if there were animals surviving here they'd be long gone.

I've got a bunch of mods I have basically just downloaded and this is the only one I cant get to work without an error (at least I think its this mod at least.)
anyone able to help me out, because running this game without this tab gets annoying.
1st pic has the error messages
2nd my list of mods in case its an incompatibility issue of sorts

[attachment deleted by admin due to age]

Just a little bump to let you know that an early release for a17 is out. Enjoy.

Sorry for the late reply, Coolcolon. The error messages indicate my icons could not be loaded, but the reason is unclear. If you did not try it already, reinstalling the mod could help. If not and you use the version on the steam workshop, remove it and install the version on github (see first post).

Thanks dude for the A17 unstable release!  I'll use it.  How unstable is it?

I used it in several colonies with many other mods. Didn't make in-depth tests but there were no signs of unstability :)

Love this - so much easier than scouring the map for certain animals.
A16 version.
However ... I have a problem after adding some more mods to my already very long list (it was working perfectly with a lot before I added the extra). Now, it shows a lot of the wild animals as pregnant in the list but when I check the individual stats of the animal, they aren't. I'm wondering if there's a conflict with the animal tab mod which was one of the new ones I loaded. I think some of the other things it lists for the animals aren't always correct as well eg. sex, injuries.

Crossing my fingers to see this soon in A18 unstable for proper testing.
Thank you so much for the mod, its a must have this days.

I have to say that this simple mod is by far the best i had in the game. Thanks mate!

Very useful mod, could you just make the tab a bit smaller please, so it doesn't span half of the screen, hiding the animals you are selecting? The health column could be much shorter imo. :)

Thanks a million for your mod.
Im using it at A18 unstable, you can still see the animals in the map but you cannot set them to be hunted or anything.
At least you can spot them haha! Die bunnies !

Looking forward for the update thanks your all your work!  :D

Looking forward to a B18 update for this! Thank you for your work!

I have edited this mod. You can now mark animals for hunting/taming in B18.
Use this file at your own risk I am not a programmer and have never messed with C# until today. I will keep this file up until the official mod is updated or until @lincore tells me to remove it at which point it will be taken down.

The link for the updated mod is https://www.dropbox.com/s/lll83vkvvxmzq7s/OmniLocator.zip?dl=0

You copy the OmniLocator folder into your RimWorld/Mods folder.

I cannot play without this mod and look forward to an official update.

Woo, thanks Sinker for the stopgap :)

Yup, Thank you very much.

Works great with AllowTool multiselect. 2 clicks to hunt whole species on map.

I don't know why, but Sinker's B18 version of this mod seems to throw errors for me.  I only use 7 mods and when I disabled this one everything worked with no problem.  :(  If I knew where to see the error log I would post it.

To see the error log ingame, you need to enable the dev mode at the options.
Then some button on top appear, with the left one you can open the error log window.
When you got hugslib mod installed you can upload the errorlog with a button there "share log" and post the link.

Or at the data folder you find output_log.txt you can attach to your posting, and if it is to big, you should use an archiver tool like winrar/zip to shrink it.

when is this updating to B18?

Bluntflame,
scroll abit up and you find a dropbox link.

You are a really good modder. Do you think youcan update the pregnancy and children mod?

I'm aware of Sinker's update of OmniLocator/Wildlife Tab, but it didn't let me use the tame/hunt checkboxes in the Tab due to an error.

I have released a fix for B18 (chiefly thanks to a PR on GitHub by tdbellgit):

Steam: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1235553994
GitHub: https://github.com/HanFox/WildlifeTab/releases

Thanks HanFox. One small thing is that OmniLocator\Defs/WildlifeTab.xml: root element named MainButtonDefs; should be named Defs

Just change the first and last "MainButtonDefs" in that XML to "Defs". No more red error!

So is the version Han uploaded working properly, as long as I change the 2 lines in WildlifeTab.xml?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Defs>
  <MainButtonDef>
    <defName>Lincore_WildlifeTab</defName>
    <label>wildlife</label>
    <description>Find alpha beavers and other wildlife</description>
    <tabWindowClass>Lincore.WildlifeTab.MainTabWindow_Wildlife</tabWindowClass>
    <order>43</order>
  </MainButtonDef>
</Defs>

Change the 2 lines that say "MainButtonDef" to just "Defs" ? Thanks for the help! :)

B18?

No B18 version for people which are too lazy to read the last pages at last. :-)

Oh nooooooooooooooooooooo. . . . . ..  .  :'(  :'(  :'(

I'm using the unofficial version Sinker uploaded in reply #49 without any problems.

Any plans for a 1.0 version?
Before anyone starts screamin' at me, I know that there is a Wildlife Tab in the vanilla, but it is missing (imo) some key features....
1. Manhunters or animals gone wild-mad don't always show up in the list as 'mad'.
2. There is no functioning "!" column to list the predators top to bottom.
3. "Medical conditions" is absent..
I know these are only 3 comments on the vanilla, but imo, they are major, as predators and manhunters are, really, the only animal threats on the map, and I need to protect my precious terriers. ;)

cheers.
