it's a single player mod only

MaxDistance=800
NoDeadBodies=False
Nobabies=False
Sort=distance
SoftLimit=30
HardLimit=10

Details:

range : value between 0 to MaxDistance where the slider is by default (included)
MaxDistance : The maximum distance you want to fetch dinos. (Can't garantee what happened if it's too high)
NoDeadBodies : True or False
NoBabies : True or False
Sort : "distance" or "level" (choose only one, remove the quote)
SoftLimit (in meter) : This is the limit distance between you and the traked dino where the beam and sound remain normal. Beyond this limit, the sound and beam are reduced. (put 0 to deactivate the feature)
HardLimit (in meter) : This is the limit distance between you and the tracked dino where the beam and sound are not disabled. Beyond this limit, the sound and the beam are removed. (put 0 or remove the line to deactivate the feature)

Hope it's clear enough…

How to use? Craft the DinoPing device (Engram at level 25). Put the device in the hotbar.

If you activate it while looking at a wild dino, it puts a beacon and sound on him. Activate it again for remove. If you activate it while you are NOT looking at a dino, it opens a GUI. Set the range slider as you like (400 meters by default). Click the PING button to fetch all dinos within the range. Click on a dino to put a beaconsound on it. Click again to remove.

Now you can filter dinos with a textbox. You can click on "clear all beacons" to remove all dino beacons you put on.
