    Game.ini Creature Spawn Questions

    Posted: 14 Mar 2021 06:21 AM PDT

    Hello and Salutations,

    I am trying to understand how creature spawning works via Game.ini edits. I have my own private Island session/server set up for my friends and I, and the results are very confusing! So I am looking for clarification how this all works since from what I understand based on the info on ark.gamepedia and GameWalkthrough server tools as a guide. however the results don't work at all and I need some heckin' help with all of this.

    For example, there is [NPCReplacements] but it never works!! It either does not spawn anything as the original creature stops spawning completely, yay?, or ignores this line of code completely and the original creature just spawns normally.

    NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Ichthyornis_Character_BP_C", ToClassName="Jerboa_Character_BP_C") 

    Using the Ark.Gamepedia example of adding creatures via Spawn entry method yielded some results but did not work for others, one wild example is I merely attempted to added Deinonychus to the snow biome on the Island but instead it replaced everything with normal Raptors!? I mean everything! Raptors everywhere?

    This was using the ARK.Gamepedia's example "Add Giga at the beach spawn" so the Entryweight is abnormal per their example but to my understanding the MaxPercentage should cap this regardless at 10%? Also the entire code is one one line of text in my Game.ini.

    ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesSnow", NPCSpawnEntries((AnEntryName="DeinonSpawner",EntryWeight=1000.0, NPCsToSpawnStrings("Deinonychus_Character_BP_C"))), NPCSpawnLimits((NPCClassString="Deinonychus_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.01)))

    Is their no way to add Deinonychus to the Island? Furthermore I don't get how some other creatures just don't spawn at all, despite "admit cheat summon XYZ_character_BP_C" command does spawn them in as expected. So sadly I assume those creatures should spawn either way right via NPCtoSpawnStrings?!

    I did get Water Jugbugs to spawn but not Oil Jugbugs despite using ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntry method and adding them to various biomes or Spawn Entries, which is more so confusing despite both having the same weights and entries for various biomes to spawn at. Also is the "_C" at the end for Spawn entries important? ARK.Gamepedia doesnt list it on their page of spawn entires. its merely "DinoSpawnEntriesSnow" but i see "_C" added to other examples of code but its like why isnt that there?! It did work without it but it seems such a detail should be acknowledge!?

    Anyways, Thanks in advance, for your time and hope to gain a better understanding of this game.

    Efficient building?

    Posted: 13 Mar 2021 03:35 PM PST

    I've just come back to ARK after leaving a couple weeks before it became officially available. I'd forgotten how badly the controls are explained. I'm pretty certain I used to be able to build by putting multiple walls on the hot bar and placing them one after another. However, all I can do right now is open inventory, select wall, place wall, open inventory again and REselect wall, place, and repeat. I managed to put the walls into my hotbar, but pressing the indicated button does nothing - what have I forgotten? I can flip my axe/pick/etc in and out using the D-buttons.

    Thanks in advance!

    I was thinking of going onto a low boosted unoff and trying ti tame every tamable creature or something along the lines. If you want to join you can the more the merrier. If you have better ideas let me know.

    Crystal wyvern abilities??

    Posted: 13 Mar 2021 11:01 AM PST

    I play on Crystal Isles and have two ember and two tropical wyverns. None of the four have the ability to pick up small dinos. L3 is the sprint button, R3 does a wing flappy thing that pushes dinos back and harvests thatch and wood. L2 is the spray attack and R2 is the bite. Do wyverns have different abilities? My brother also plays and he picks up dinos with his wyvern.

    My argies all pick up with L2.

    Thanks
