Admin Only

A gun to help gather damage types: cheat giveitem "/AoeForcefield/DamageGun/PrimalItem_AoeForcefield_DamageGun.PrimalItem_AoeForcefield_DamageGun" 1 0 0
Shoot a dino and a menu with damage types it uses will be displayed.
Alternate attack(RClick) and a menu with ALL loaded mod damage types will be displayed.

cheat scriptcommand arkhaze toggledebug
Scriptcommand will toggle debugging on and off, without needing to change the ini. Will revert to the ini value on reboots.

Debug Mode

RClick on Ark Ascended in steam. Go to properties. In advanced options, add the following: -log -serverlog
Start ark. A seperate console window will open. Anytime your forcefield is attacked, the log will write the damage type that attacked it. Use that damage type for your configs(DinoNerfDmgTypes or DamageTypeWhitelist, depending on what you're doing).

Notes

Depending on how mods were made, using ModIDs could be insufficient to stop all damages from mod dinos. The same is true with DinoNerfClasses, depending on how the modder handled dino attacks. If you are using one or both of these methods and damage is still being taken, try the Damage Gun(see admin only section) or Debug Mode.

Bugs

When reporting bugs, it is very important to include as much detail as possible. How you caused the bug? What it is? What should happen? Singleplayer? Dedicated server? PC? Console?
