Dragonpunk PVE Overhaul

What exactly does this mod do?
Like many of the other PvE overhaul mods, the descprition is entirely too brief to cover exactly what it's changing. For example, I came across a few Argies that were glowing blue with little + icons flowing out of them. I'm not sure what that means or what effect it has on the Argie or me. It didn't drop anything different than a normal Argie so I'm left wondering what the significance of that was.
Can someone who is more knowledgable about this mod help me understand that basics of what it's doing for the game? I'm playing single-player on Ragnarok. Thanks!

Its dramatically increases the power of dinos that are promoted. I havent played around with it too much yet but thet give unique drops with them which allow you to craft better items. For the damage and such, it is a code the admin must add to the server but the default for ascendant level dinos is x15 health x9 strength

@NervXT So you came across Ascendant Argies apparently. The colors are matched to the quality level, so they should drop ascendant hide. It sounds like that did not happen though, so we'd be grateful if you would post your ini settings in "Post Bugs Here" so we can work with you to see what happened.

Thanks. Just posted where you directed me to.

If I'm understanding correctly, each dino (that the mod spawns) has a color that denotes their quality level, such as Ramshackle, Apprentice, Journeyman, etc.. and they drop hide of that quality. That hide can then be used at the provided crafting table to create armor of said quality? Is this exclusively hide armor variants or are other armor types included, such as Chitin or Flak? Also, what are promoted dinos?

Just trying to understand what I should be looking out for.

the pluses flowing out of the argies is an ability that they all get since the TLC patch which is a health regen bonus they get for eating a dead critter

@Nervxt I noticed that there are a couple of things to fix inside the INI file, make sure to copy the new Default ini Settings and check again if works, you are looking for dinosaurs with glowy particles around them.

I bet it was a normal argie that ate a dead body and had the regen buff... lol
