Some Ragnarok Spawner Overrides
Here are the settings we use on our server to remove existing spawns and put:

Karkinos and Alpha Karkinos in the swamp and desert river
Ravager in the grasslands
Rock Drake in SE mountains and badlands
Basilisk and Alpha Basilisk in dunes
Bulbdogs on the beaches
Glow Bugs in the redwoods
Shinehorns in the redwoods
Glowtails in the dunes
Featherlights in the jungle
Reaper Queens in the big cave under the castle
Roll Rats in the highlands
Nameless in the big cave under the castle

And also to balance the numbers with existing Ragnarok spawns.

We find these settings work really well for us so I thought I would share in case anyone else sees things our way and wants to try some different spawner settings with this excellent mod.

When you copy and paste these into your game.ini, ensure that each override exists only on one line of text.

Enjoy.

zigackly 4 Aug, 2018 @ 6:47am 
Over a month now, I just tweaked it for the latest update though.

This error is now popping-up. Any clue how to fix it?

Yeah, seems there was an error in my latest edit, so one of the max percentages may not have been working, my bad!

This updated version will get rid of the log errors: https://pastebin.com/w2MppGWY

I may need to update some of the percentages again later to make sure it's still balanced after some playtesting. If so I will post another version here.
Berta Beef 10 Aug, 2018 @ 9:54pm 
Appreciate it zigackly, thanks for your work!

Couple more settings to add aberrant otters as a rare spawn wherever there are otters:

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntries_InlandWater_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="OtterSpawner",EntryWeight=0.01,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Otter_Character_BP_Aberrant_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Otter_Character_BP_Aberrant_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.01)))
ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntries_RedwoodWater_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="OtterSpawner2",EntryWeight=0.01,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Otter_Character_BP_Aberrant_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Otter_Character_BP_Aberrant_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.01)))

Thanks zigackly this is a really good config you have on your server. Thank you for sharing :)

How do you disable the spawning of a certain animal? We have a severe Nameless Spawning issue and is crashing the server
baumfisch 25 Aug, 2018 @ 4:51am 
thats weird i run the same codes and i never found any nameless i found reaper queens in the dark cave but no nameless and we need them.
and btw are these regions the only ones where these animals spawn ? so a basilisk cant spawn somewhere else than the desert ?

This method dont work for our server, reaper still spawn in jungle and vikings bay, our server admin just copy paste it, we did a restart and did a wild dino kill. did we miss some? oh and our server provider is G-Portal, if this is important

Rock Drake in SE mountains and badlands.... is this part of the ragnarok map? cause you said it was Ragnarok Spawner Overrides :o where are the badlands in ragnarok?

Ty! <3
zigackly 1 Oct, 2018 @ 5:48am 
There are SE badlands spawner containers over the river to the west of the dunes.

You will very occasionally get nameless and reapers in the jungle areas up above Viking because you have to use the megalosaurus spawner containers to get them in the cave and megalosaurus can occasionally spawn up there, but there is no better solution.

To disable nameless spawning completely, use this:
NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Chupacabra_Character_BP_C", ToClassName="")
Thiago Kadooka 1 Oct, 2018 @ 8:36am 
wow! thanks for that, i will try this today!
my friends are having some bad times with reaper queen spawning everywhere!

a question, is it possible that more than one reaper queen spawns in the cavern at the same time? it will be really certain death if thats the case.
