hello :) I think I wrote everything correctly for this to work, but unfortunately nothing happens... I don't have any dinosaurs dropping materials... Can you help me please?
I'm on a private server...
I used Beacons.
Here's what I created:
game.ini:
[CustomDinoLoot]
ConfigOverrideSupplyCrateItems=(SupplyCrateClassString="CustomDinoLoot_Carnivore_Medium",MinItemSets=1,MaxItemSets=1,NumItemSetsPower=1.0,bSetsRandomWithoutReplacement=True,ItemSets=((SetName="Goldenmedium",MinNumItems=1,MaxNumItems=1,NumItemsPower=1,SetWeight=500,bItemsRandomWithoutReplacement=True,ItemEntries=((EntryWeight=1,ItemClassStrings=("PrimalItemResource_GoldenNugget_C"),ItemsWeights=(50),MinQuantity=8,MaxQuantity=15,MinQuality=0,MaxQuality=0,bApplyQuantityToSingleItem=True,bForceBlueprint=False,ChanceToBeBlueprintOverride=0)))))

gameuser:
[CustomDinoLoot]
CustomLootEntries=*Direwolf*,*Ankylo*,*Baryonyx*,*Saber*,*CaveWolf*,*Daeodon*,*Scorp*,*SpineyLizard*:CustomDinoLoot_Carnivore_Medium

Can i let killing unlock engram like i want the rex unlock some engrams

It can't be ready made. Configuration is 100% required to notice any changes.
Spinhotauro 6. sep. 2024 kl. 4:05 
Does it come ready-made or do I have to configure it myself?
Quellcrest  [ophavsmand] 10. feb. 2024 kl. 6:37 
Absolutely.

Hi there! I'm looking for a way to give players hexagons when they kill dinos to use in the shop. Could I do this with this mod and "Hexagon Cookies"? Thanks!

Successfully ported to ASA
Plastic Puppet 30. okt. 2023 kl. 10:59 
Hello again... And yes, this mod is also one of the best and irreplaceable... will it be migrated to ASA ?
Quellcrest  [ophavsmand] 9. okt. 2023 kl. 11:54 
Ark does not have client-side only mods. If you mean, does this work on Singleplayer as well as a dedicated server, yes.
Vai 9. okt. 2023 kl. 10:52 
does this mod need to be on a server in order for it to work
Quellcrest  [ophavsmand] 9. aug. 2023 kl. 5:11 
@Luna2127 You add your new template to game.ini and then setup my configs in gus.ini(what dinos get what template added to their loot tables). That's it.
Luna2127 9. aug. 2023 kl. 4:47 
so i made custom templates in beacon but i don't think it's working is there something i have to do to use the template on my current server project?

This is awesome. I recently came to Ark after modding Skyrim for years and was disappointed to find that getting mods to synergize for this game is a lot harder. This helps a TON. Now I can add loot from other mods to mod-added dinos with ease. 10/10
Luna2127 23. juni 2023 kl. 19:38 
hmmm i'm just worried about not getting the name right guess i'll just have to keep trying till i get it right
Quellcrest  [ophavsmand] 22. juni 2023 kl. 15:43 
Yes. Add the dino class to the ini.

If you had this: CustomLootEntries=*rex*,*raptor*:CustomDinoLoot_Raptors
And wanted to add your dino to it, add it: CustomLootEntries=*rex*,*raptor*,*SillyDino*:CustomDinoLoot_Raptors
Luna2127 22. juni 2023 kl. 14:54 
can you use modded dino's and if so how?
Luna2127 6. juni 2023 kl. 20:33 
okie dokie i'll just have to give it a go
Quellcrest  [ophavsmand] 6. juni 2023 kl. 17:47 
You dont. Build your loot set in beacon and add all that ConfigOverrideSupplyCrateItems stuff to the proper place in your configs.

Use this mod to set which dinos use what lootset.

There's examples in the discussions and a slightly outdated but still highly relevant video in the mod carousel.
Luna2127 6. juni 2023 kl. 17:04 
oh ok i do have beacon but how do i put this mod into beacon?
Quellcrest  [ophavsmand] 6. juni 2023 kl. 16:45 
It is definitely a little involved, but it's the only sane way to make very in depth loot tables.
You need to make a loot set, with beacon probably since otherwise its bananas and then use this mod and set which dinos are using said lootset.

Examples in the discussions.
Luna2127 6. juni 2023 kl. 15:06 
i would love to be able to change what some dinos drop so i could do quest lines but honestly i just can't comprehend what this mod is trying to tell me
Plastic Puppet 19. maj 2023 kl. 0:25 
I was also almost sure that I had already been asked and was almost sure that the answer was "no" :))

But I believe in miracles
Quellcrest  [ophavsmand] 18. maj 2023 kl. 10:35 
Pretty sure it's been asked before and pretty sure I said no, otherwise I might have done it.
Plastic Puppet 18. maj 2023 kl. 5:31 
is it possible to make loot automatically picked up by dinosaurs, like the default loot?
Quellcrest  [ophavsmand] 7. maj 2023 kl. 12:40 
Not something I've ever seen/heard.

Dinos are fiddled with when players come near them. Every X-Y seconds(min/max times) within Z radius(range setting), valid dinos are buffed. When they die, loot is generated and added to body/dropped as a death cache. If you arent getting close enough or kill it almost instantly, loot might not be generated. You can fiddle with the inis if you wish, but that scenario basically shouldnt happen outside of admins flying around insta-killing stuff.
Delly2555 7. maj 2023 kl. 11:30 
im having a problem the bionic creature loot drop works at first but then a while later they don't why is that?
Quellcrest  [ophavsmand] 13. feb. 2023 kl. 12:51 
Yes. The mod description is quite clear, as are the threads in the discussions.
KYPOPTHUK 13. feb. 2023 kl. 10:46 
I cant understand, works mod in SP or not. I dont see any new drops in raptors, sacro...
Should i do something with this mod other, than subscribe and add it to my modlist (and start new game)?
Mourningstar 11. feb. 2023 kl. 14:00 
Oof, okay thanks for the clarification.
Quellcrest  [ophavsmand] 11. feb. 2023 kl. 12:01 
It adds to the loot, doesn't replace it.
Mourningstar 11. feb. 2023 kl. 11:03 
So question, does this completely override default drops? I want to remove berry drops, cloth armor drops, and stone weapon drops from certain dinos. So if I make my own custom drops for like say, a Rock Drake, and I want only feathers from them, and I put in the entry, does that mean a rock drake will ONLY drop from that custom loot drop?
123 23. jan. 2023 kl. 9:30 
alright thanks
Quellcrest  [ophavsmand] 23. jan. 2023 kl. 7:44 
*dino*,*dino*,*dino*:LootSetName&*dino*,*dino*,*dino*:LootSetName

Not sure what this is: RaptorThings_C
If it's a lootset, it needs & after it instead of ,

You also have: *Paracer_Character_BP_C*,*: herbivore_stuff_C
Not sure what the ,*: is suppose to do...

Also no idea if you actually used the correct name for your lootsets. There's many examples in the discussions.
123 23. jan. 2023 kl. 5:09 
hello, I need help because I don't understand what is blocking me

I use this :
CustomLootEntries=*dodo*,*Dilo_Character_BP_C*: RaptorThings_C,*Ankylo_Character_BP_C*,*Sauropod_Character_BP_C*,*Diplodocus_Character_BP_C*,*Iguanodon_Character_BP_C*,*Moschops_Character_BP_C*,*Pachy_Character_BP_C*, *Pachyrhino_Character_BP_C*,*Para_Character_BP_C*,*Stego_Character_BP_C*,*Therizino_Character_BP_C*,*Trike_Character_BP_C*,*Stag_Character_BP_C*,*Sheep_Character_BP_C*,*Paracer_Character_BP_C*,*: herbivore_stuff_C&*Oviraptor_Character_BP_C*:egg_C*,

the problem is that the dinos have all the same packs... even the dinos in the game that are not registered.

How can I separate the packs? that the dodo and dilo can only have a pack and the others too?

After some testing and whatnot, I got it to work and spawn loot with the Brute dinos. Thanks a lot Quellcrest!
Coley 8. dec. 2022 kl. 11:36 
I'll try with other creatures and see what happens. It could just be the Brutes, since they only appear in Genesis missions, there might be some shenanigans going on with them.

I appreciate you taking the time to try and help me figure this out. And thank you for your mods in general, I use quite a few of them and are must haves in my modlists.
Quellcrest  [ophavsmand] 8. dec. 2022 kl. 11:19 
@Specimen You could give that a try, yes, but I don't think it should matter. You also may want to try a loot set I posted in the examples too, just incase yours is funky somehow. Also, try it on something silly like *dodo*. For all I know brutes are weird for some reason. Try and narrow down where the issue is.
Coley 8. dec. 2022 kl. 11:05 
Unfortunately it still doesn't work. The loot crate was set using Beacon. Maybe I got the GUS settings wrong somehow, like the Brute Rex ID. I could try; CustomLootEntries=*Volcano_Rex_Character_BP_Hunt*:CustomDinoLoot_TestBruteRex I guess and see if that works? but the initial config seemed fine.
Quellcrest  [ophavsmand] 8. dec. 2022 kl. 10:21 
You just have the crate name wrong.
ConfigOverrideSupplyCrateItems=(SupplyCrateClassString="DinoDropInventoryComponent_Volcano_Rex_Character_BP_Hunt_C",

Just change "DinoDropInventoryComponent_Volcano_Rex_Character_BP_Hunt_C" to "CustomDinoLoot_TestBruteRex"

Assuming the loot crate was build correctly, of course.
Coley 8. dec. 2022 kl. 9:18 
Oh this is in my GUS:

[CustomDinoLoot]
CustomLootEntries=*Volcano_Rex_Character_BP_Hunt_C :CustomDinoLoot_TestBruteRex
DinoFuzzyBlacklist=*pego*,*ichthy*
Coley 8. dec. 2022 kl. 9:16 
Hey Quellcrest, so after some tinkering, I've realised that I'm not quite understanding how to set up the configs properly. I wanted to add custom loot to Brute Rexes and I was hoping you could help me figure out what I've done wrong.

https://pastebin.com/aW0NWsQk

Any assistance would be appreciated.
Quellcrest  [ophavsmand] 14. okt. 2022 kl. 8:27 
@khisanth That should work just fine. The system is pretty efficient. It only fiddles with dinos nearby to players as necessary.
khisanth 14. okt. 2022 kl. 2:30 
Wondering if it is possible to do something like *_character_* to get all dino affect by a specific loot.
I was thinking of adding a 0.1% (playing with weight on beacon) of getting skin from killing any dino.
Or it is not advised to do so (too much dono check?) Or not possible (too much matching blueprint)?
Ketobby 1. sep. 2022 kl. 11:25 
Yeah I went through it in the end. https://pastebin.com/V7bDrMfT
For the most part dinos should only drop tributes now so like rex tooth n stuff but doubl the amount. thanks for the beacon suggestion and responding!
Quellcrest  [ophavsmand] 1. sep. 2022 kl. 9:53 
@Ketobby It would. It's the equivalent to editing boss loots. There's a string you use for the ConfigOverrideSupplyCrateItems lines(ie: DinoDropInventoryComponent_BossDragon_Easy_C). You'd have to edit like 50+ drop components, but it's dosable. There's no 1 liner fix though, no.
Ketobby 1. sep. 2022 kl. 9:19 
Thanks for the fast response! I just wanted a quick easy way to disabling instead of editing dino inventories individually. I don't even know if editing dino's "loot crates" would work on my server since i have beacons disabled.
Quellcrest  [ophavsmand] 1. sep. 2022 kl. 6:38 
@Ketobby Not with this mod. You can change the loot crates for the dinos though, some are kind of generic and apply to multiple dinos. Check out: https://usebeacon.app/
Ketobby 1. sep. 2022 kl. 5:49 
Hey is it possible to simply disable all dino loot entirely? I'm just tired of getting primitive tools and berries when I kill dinos
lgneira 20. juli 2022 kl. 15:23 
dont work on my brain
Taipan 10. maj 2022 kl. 15:05 
Thank you, just managed to do it myself, it's easy, I was afraid I will break everything. Cheers!!!
