i thought flyers couldnt fly in abberation, since it is all literally a cave.

Yes there is. You have to go into the INI file for the aberration server you are running and add all the animal classes that you don't want to allow. It won't stop fert eggs from coming in, but if they are hatched they won't be able to claim them so they'll just sit there and die.

I don't have the details with me right now as I'm not at home, but if I remember, I will reply again to this thread and paste them in.

They can fly, in solo you can summon and use ptera, quetz, wyverns, griffins and modded flyers can spawn and be tamed and used as well. The main thing was not being able to download any non-aberrant animals onto aberration, and that restricted the map to having no flyers. There is a way to restrict what can be braught onto a server using ini, check the ARK Wiki it has a whole section on ini settings and ways to adjust them.

Its part of the "lore" of Aberration that normal map dinos aren't suppose to be able to survive or fly. However, the game allows it. When Aberration first came out we had a bunch of my users on my cluster move fliers over there and play. I had to modify the configuration to not allow it. The game code is suppose to block it, but it doesn't block fert eggs, so once users found they could just bring the eggs over there and hatch them all heck broke loose. Was a royal pain in my butt.

Please do, I'm doing research, but the closest thing I can find is them spawning and well...obviously wyverns don't spawn on aberration normally lol.

Sounds like my job. Herding cats...

Would this work

NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Wyvern_Character_BP_Fire_C",ToClassName="")

As an example, or would that only disable the spawning of the wyvern (which again...aberration lol)

That only changes what spawns, not what can be used. I'm heading home soon. Stay tuned :D

Here is what you need. You put this into your game.ini. You'll need to stop your server, make the change, then start it back up. It will NOT remove creatures already on the map. Go through the list and decide which ones you want:

I didn't see griffin on the list, would it's command look like this then "PreventDinoTameClassNames=Griffin_Character_BP_C"

Yes

So we need to allow players to bring over any non-Ab dino except flyers and their eggs. What are the changes that need to be made?

My list blocks people from being able to bring fert eggs in there and use them. The eggs are still allowed in, but they cannot claim/feed them so they die.

The setting you want to use is this:
?CrossARKAllowForeignDinoDownloads=true

That command line will allow you to download dinos into Aberration from other maps.

But, if you turn that on, it turns it on for all dinos. If you dont' want fliers or their eggs I'm not sure how you would stop them. You can try my code above and see if it works, but I doubt it.

This is an updated list to as of 1 Jan 2022. I did not add the Maewing in as it glides and not really flies. However, the new X and R variants of dinos from the two Genesis maps are included.
