Adding dinos from other maps

raven356 · Apr 30th 2019

Hello everyone! I am new to hosting and coding. We are trying to add spawns to our ragnarok map but can not get it to work! Here is our code, I'm hoping someone can point out what we did wrong so we can try to get it working. We want to add much more but were starting with one until we got it.

Nitrado expert settings active. In our game.ini we put this at the first empty line we had

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesSwamp_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="BasilskSpawner",EntryWeight=1,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Basilisk_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Basilisk_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=1)))

We also attempted both DinoSpawnEntriesSwamp and with the _C but couldn't get either to work.

I realize the entry weight and percentage will need to be adjusted for balance. We were just attempting to make sure they were actually spawning in. Any help greatly appreciated!

Hello.

Here are my codes I'm going through yours right now to see what the issue could be

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="SE_DinoSpawnEntriesDunes_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="BasilDesert",EntryWeight=0.01,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Basilisk_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Basilisk_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.01)))

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesCaveMegalo_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="BasilCave",EntryWeight=0.01,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Basilisk_Character_BP_C")),((NPCClassString="Basilisk_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.01)))

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesSwamp

_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Basilswamp",EntryWeight=0.01,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Basilisk_Character_BP_C")),((NPCClassString="Basilisk_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.01)))

ok I think i have it.

C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Basilswamp",EntryWeight=0.01,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Basilisk_Character_BP_C")),((NPCClassString="Basilisk_Cha

Remove the 3rd ) after basilisk character and also remove the spawn limits coding

here is a better version

Rondeau04 · Apr 30th 2019

also here are some reddit pages I've used. One is from my server to add aberration and extinction dinos onto a rag server. Some dinos I left out like rock drake and the mana.

The other is for item stack overrides

do you mean like this

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesSwamp_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="BasilskSpawner",EntryWeight=1,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Basilisk_Character_BP_C"))

also is the weight what determines the spawn % I am new to the ark nitrado coding

Rondeau04 · Apr 30th 2019

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesSwamp_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="BasilskSpawner",EntryWeight=1,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Basilisk_Character_BP_C")),((NPCClassString="Basilisk_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.01)))

Should be just like this. You just had to add the comma after the basilisk character and the other code under it

Yes the weight and desired number to allow. I'll doudle check what each exactly does. I keep them pretty low as to not over populate

That solved it, thank you so much! Was getting frustrating. Now to figure out how to add multiple new dinos in the same zone. Ugh this will be fun when it's done but what a pain now.

Make sure to take a look at those links I added above. Learning is the best part of it. You should be able to find the zones online and then the dino names as well

raven356 · Apr 30th 2019

I looked at the link used this code below should the last 2 ) be removed

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesSnow_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="SO1",EntryWeight=0.2,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Owl_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Owl_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.2))) ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="SE_DinoSpawnEntriesCanyons_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="VS",EntryWeight=0.2,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Spindles_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Spindles_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.1)))

No but if you look I had the same error you had all. The spawn limits and extra parenthesis before it. Whoops!

Probably why if it wasnt working

raven356 · Apr 30th 2019

Can you give me a code that has multiple Dinos in the same region not sure which codes in the link are not correct

The top portion of the add dinos code is already broken down into region it will always be one of the first few lines of code.

Rondeau04 · Apr 30th 2019

For any with errors I'll have to go through the code after to double check

raven356 · Apr 30th 2019

wasnt sure which ones had errors or not if that one is correct i will go off that code to do the rest

I found the errors. Just missing a closed parenthesis in a couple places. If you give me a few I can update them.

Also here is a great too DOAGEN just sent me over. Give it a look

I just have one word of advice if you plan Karkinos on your rag map. I have set weights at 0.000000001 for swamp and have had 1000's spawning. So i tried monkey island, again couldn't even land without a lag storm and ending up in claws. The only spot theyve spawned reasonably at has been center canyon, which I know the wiki has the zone id's. My theory is that Spinos' are one of the few natural enemies and probably keep them in check.

let's jump into a private chat will be much easier to fix stuff also. Shoot me over a message if you want

Oh I left those off the map. They're death

Also no rock drakes they're useless without nests. And also the man's they took over areas

Ive got manas semi balenced plus I enjoy them, I see about 8-10 throughout my entire snow, they just engage everything so they definitely get annoying at times.

And I found with admin cmnds how to spawn a drake nest but they dont stay lol unrender when you leave.
