Karkinos Spawn Locations
Hey!

I'm wondering where Karkinos (Giant Crabs) spawn on the map. Do they spawn by rivers & lakes like on Abberation, or is it more specific locations?

Thanks!

You need to put à Line code in thé gameusersettings.ini to activate karkinos spawn.

Crabs are spawning if you go fromsouth to the north of the map at the right side of the swamp where it goes to the desert, then left side of the swamp but i bit more in and at the river where it goes from the grassland to the redwoods in th east of the map.

Out of curiosity, this isnt working for GameUserSettings.ini

[TheVolcano]
VolIceWyvern=1
BabySpawns=1
XenoSpawns=1
CrabSpawns=1
ZombieDinos=1

none of these are spawning on the map...we are testing in SP player to have this map go live tomorrow.

I can guarantee you that it works. I have this map installed for a few weeks and just recently activated the XenoSpawns and it worked like a charm. You might do something wrong.

So only adding one line of each creature works but not every creature at the same time?

Well, I can't really tell you since I only enabled the Reaper and nothing else. I might test that myself on some random ASM server on my machine itself. Are you managine the server with ASM? You could easily enter those in ASM itself and it should work actually.

You litterally said this above "I can guarantee you that it works. I have this map installed for a few weeks and just recently activated the XenoSpawns and it worked like a charm. You might do something wrong."

Now you say you only have reaper enabled....lol, you kinda failed there...

I can guarentee that all together are working, but the follow line you can delete because it was only working during the halloween event.

ZombieDinos=1

Why did I fail? I just stated that the entry itself works and so should every entry since I have seen no single person complaining about that and I subbed to that mod so I can read all the comments. I even told you to test it myself and you're being a douche all of a sudden? Wow.
Have you tried to delete all wild dinos by command after you set the new codes to the gus.ini? If not, those creatures possibly won't spawn, cause those spawns are blocked by too many other creatures. So if you haven't tried that yet, get on your server, login as admin, open the command line and write "admincheat destroywilddinos" and press enter. After that every wild (not tamed) creature will be deleted (sometimes it laggs a little). Then all those creatures can spawn new and you have a chance for a meet and greet with those aberration bastards.

We've restarted & did destroywilddinos, couple times. Gone several days, not a single Reaper or Karkinos spawning.

Do you know if any of these 4Creature mods could be interfering?
