Auto Stats Plugin Description
Features
Auto Stats is a server-side automatic dinosaur naming and tame-behavior plugin for ARK: Survival Evolved. It adds creature stat points to names after taming or claiming a baby, helping players identify their tames without manually typing each stat.
What It Does
When a player tames a creature or claims a baby, Auto Stats reads its base stat-point counters and creates a name using the configured format. Optional behavior settings are applied at the same time.
Example name:
In this example, [M] identifies a male creature. H, S, W and M represent health, stamina, weight and melee stat points. These are point counts, not health values or damage percentages. The branding and naming format can be customized.
Version: 1.1.0
Installation folder: TuFAutoStats
DLL: TuFAutoStats.dll
Commands
No player chat command is needed. Naming runs automatically on the configured tame and baby-claim events.
Admin Commands
Available through console or RCON:
Configuration
Auto Stats can be configured for:

Requirements
Compiled against ArkApi: Live
Tested release DLL: V.2.0.8
ARK: Survival Ascended compatibility is not claimed.
Installation
Demonstration

The demonstration shows a Pteranodon receiving its stat-based name after taming.
License and External Connections
The reviewed v1.1.0 implementation runs locally and contains no online license verification, HWID binding, external web requests or telemetry submission. Optional rename and event messages are written to the local server log.
Commercial usage terms are separate from technical activation. Any future release introducing online licensing or external connections will require updated disclosures.
Pricing
License duration: Yearly
Notes
Names use base stat points rather than player-allocated level-up points. This version does not continuously rename creatures after each level-up, scan all existing tames on startup, or provide a mass-rename command. Reloading configuration affects subsequent supported events and does not automatically rename the entire server.
Automatic naming replaces the creature's name when a configured event is processed. Keep the format within the configured name-length limit. Other plugins that also rename creatures or change post-tame behavior may interact with these settings.
This version leaves ARK's native cryopod mating-timer behavior in place; it does not implement an additional cryo breeding system.
