It is 1am in the Australia, so I didn't test this settings much, but I thought maybe someone in a different timezone wants to try it out. It has to be in the game.ini of the server in the [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] section.

In general:

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="#where#",NPCSpawnEntries=( (AnEntryName="#name#",EntryWeight=#weight#,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("#what#"))), NPCSpawnLimits=( (NPCClassString="#what#",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=#percentage#)))

from https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/forums/topic/99062-quickie-procedurally-generated-arks-how-to-guide/

with #where# the class name of the spawner, #what# the entidy id of the animal (see http://ark.gamepedia.com/Creature_IDs ), #name# just a name of the spawner if you want to define multiple, #weight# and #percentage# to control how much should spawn (see example below).


Example: for 0.1% of the spawns being megas in the Wonder Cave:

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesWonder",NPCSpawnEntries=( (AnEntryName="Megalosaurus_Character_BP_C",EntryWeight=1000.0,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Megalosaurus_Character_BP_C"))), NPCSpawnLimits=( (NPCClassString="Megalosaurus_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.001)))

The entry weight of 1000 means it will always use this spawner first (the range for the weight is 0...1000) until a Max Percentage of 0.001 (0.1%) is reached. So you can play with the weight (using the spawner less) and with the percentage (disabling the spawner earlier). 0.1% doesn't sound much, but with all the animals in the caves... I am not sure, it might be even to high.

PS: You have to copy the ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer entry in one line. There are no linebreaks in the game.ini in the ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer.

I just used the example. Works fine on my server. One Mega in the wonder cave.

Its a bit early to say its 100% right. I have the feeling you need to have it running for a while to recognize overspawning ;)

ok ive ran quite afew pgms but EntryWeight=1000.0, thats the ammount that can spawn at once < bad number never use MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.001 < this means the chance they spawn which is .01 precent which yeah will yeild 1 or more in ur caves... or u can change the Entryweight to 0.02 to only spawn 2 at a time and change allowed to 0.02 or the entry weight can spawn 1k night rex's < i have a screenshot of it on my profile.. but its of Quetzls.. so if u have too many spawning in ur caves tweak these 2 numbers to adjust

0.001 created around 10-20 Megas in the caves. Maybe the percentage is global? Like 20000 animals * 0.001 = 20.

Anyways, the map update is just released and I disabled these options on my servers.

@Kuishi but there is still no Megalo add to the map ;)

Oh, I thought it was included in "Complete re-work of the land dino spawns", but I guess you are still waiting for the Dev kit to update?

No worries. I add them again and if my players complain about all the restarts I will blame you :P

It didn't mean i can add the dino, we modder still don#t have the new dev kit version to add the Megalo, since he's using a new spawner

@Sicco0803 Thanks for listing the map spawners, do you also use the standard Island spawners on your map? I am making a mod specifically for my server and modifying the spawn entries etc,. I would like to use your map as part of a cluster for my server but unfortunately I need to know all the spawner BP names in use to get my mod to work correctly on your map.

Would you be willing to provide a full list of the spawners used and possible the BluePrints for any custom spawners you use so I can subclass them?

@Sicco0803 Any chance we can get a list of all the map spawners I would like to work up a custom spawn map for my servers

@err0r i'm trying to do it within the next week.

Thank you

Can omecone give me the cords to the caves?

I need the respawn codes from areas outside the caves, such as ice, plains. You have?

I'm using the vanilla island and se spawner + my own custom baby spawner

I want to change some respawns, that's me using the respawn codes of The Island
