Description
Unknown if mod works at this point. I currently have no plans to install dev kit and update mods as of 06 09 21.

Thie mod rebalances the Giganotosaurus mainly for singleplayer or small tribes. This is going to be a very agressive nerf. Also, I am editing his loot drop table so he drops a reward for killing him. This is all very early access like the game and subject to change at this point.

Looking for feedback on spawn rate to get them near perfect.

1.1 Updated in dev kit version 264.00.
Let me know if you experience issues.

To do this I have replaced the spawn entries for them with a copy of a nerfed one that should read Pawn at the end of name for now. So you know it took.


Changes:
Health to 12000 from 140000
Damage to 150-350 from 300-1200
(Keep in mind damage scales so if you are low level he will still one shot you).
Torpor the same.
Stam same.
Stat nerf on tame should be removed now. See Below
(Need some tamers to test to see if nerf is gone and make sure saddle works).
Spawn rate is set to 0.3 weight out of 8 dinos set to 0.3 to 0.8 weights.
Drops alot of random stuff now. From stims to rocket launcher.

This is made for PVE single player small servers.
I made this because why is this dino so strong he have no reward for killing him. Yet he is a boss dino. Why?


You will likely need to wipe current ones before new ones spawn.


Here is commands :
cheat destroyall Gigant_Character_BP_C

For testing here is spawn code.
cheat SpawnDino "Blueprint'/Game/Mods/GigantOverhaul/Dinos/Gigant_Character_BPRE.Gigant_Character_BPRE'" 30 1 1 120

To destroy all modded gigants use this:
cheat destroyall Gigant_Character_BPRe_C
Useful if you have a over pop. I orginially didnt edit the spawn. But the thecenter spawns them like crazy. So what I have done is make the giga spawner have a chance to spawn a giga or other dinos types. In theoy the game should role for a spawn and only have a 1/8 chance reduced by weight even more to spawn a giga.
Will continue testing on my server to confirm but so far appears fixed.

How many dinosaurs can there be on the island

So........does the taming process and foods work like the original giga? I was using your old mod, and taming was giving me like 0.2 effectiveness for some reason.

Sir, thank you tremendously for your help, but nothing worked. I have however found a workaround, Simple Spawners (https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1295978823) . I no longer have any issues getting your Giga to spawn naturally. I even set it up to spawn once every 24 hours to keep his rarity! I use real time speed in my game so 24 hours is actually really long.

Sir, you have made a great mod and I love your Giga rework very very much, here's to hoping an Ark update never breaks it! Thanks for what you've done with this mod. :)

Unstable is new so this may be beta version now. Their is also a Branch one now that maybe main. Just search ACM came right up. But, link above is the one I am subbed to. Hope that helps.

Not sure why both are spawning at same time that is odd. BestI can do is recommend an mod for admin controls that lets spawn from a menu even modded items. It is ACM I believe will add link.

Yes I am having troubles with the spawns. Well actually only sort of. Both vanilla and Pawn Gigas are spawning, but I am attempting to replace the vanilla with the Pawn one but it seems that when that happens, neither spawn. I even attempted replacing dinos that are everywhere, like Parasaurs & Trikes and still nothing spawns. So basically, either both gigas spawn, or none.

I must be misunderstanding something. I realize you have not been modding in quite a long while so I am not trying to make you do anything, just anything you know off the top of your head?

Honestly, What I have above should be right. Dev kits so out of date it would take hours to just pull up and check. Given Unreals insane load time on dev kit. Codes were copied from paths. Should be right are you having trouble spawning? If I am remembering right looking in mod folder should give file names. Basically, you are referring to file name.

So this mod seems to actually still work, BUT, I am not sure of the Dino Tag & Creature ID. Is the Tag GigantRE or GigantRE2? Is the Creature ID Gigant_Character_BPRe_C or Gigant_Character_BPRE_C?

Does this work on extinction map?

Don't do work on my account fella (or possibly fell'ess, a word I just made up), just thought I'd post some info :)

The dino seems balanced around where I'd want it. Shame it has to share spawns with other things (on The Center at least) to stop it overspawning. Thanks for all your efforts.
