ini options?
1st I would like to thank you for this godly mod, one of the best creature mods, never hurts to start with the pros. :)

now that said I wish I could make the creatures admin spawn only because they just don't work out in the canonical setting, and it's tiresome/risky to enable/disable a mod depending on the map we use (assuming we switch map often)

could you please add ini option to control which creatures spawn naturally, and which don't (still spawnable with admin code)

thank you :)

You could stop spawning them by writing the following for each creature in your game.ini:

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

In this Case the Aberrant Spider (SpiderS_Character_BP_Aberrant_C) would be replaced with nothing, so it's not spawning anymore. You could do this with all animals you don't want in the game (and mods), but you can still spawn them in with admin commands.

That would only work if this mod used its own independant spawn points. If the spawn points are shared with the canonical creatures then this mod would still alter the canonical ecosystem.

You can indeed quite happily use the NPC Replacements line in your Game.Ini to stop any creature from the mod spawning if you so desire.

All spawns are additional.

you can block the creatures and then attempt to use Simple spawners mod on your server, it will help but the server Owner/Admins will be the ones in charge figuring out where they want some of those creatures spawning.

For Example I wanted to block Small Dragons from Small Dragons 2 from spawning in every map on my servers when I had them at the time. The side effect however was that players when attempting to breed them like say on the Island ended up with WIld dragon babies that could not be claimed and when attempted to be tamed it torpor wasn't going up enough and they would either die because of lower hp or when knocked out (By chance) taming wasn't possible. An Unintentional glitch but I felt was needed to prevent players from obtaining the dragons too easily and to give them a reason to stop by Scorched Earth. Because if Wyvern riding players wasn't dangerous enough, Small Dragon players potentially become a big problem in the long run especially in PvP, but it would have taken another higher tier/ strong tribe to quiet them down.

NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="SmallDragon_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="")
PreventDinoTameClassNames=SmallDragon_Character_BP_C
