INI Options Explained
Considering how many variables there are to tweak and how obtusely named a couple of them are, here's a guide to each of them and how they affect flight:

MaxBaseSpeed: This is the max speed a flyer can go before it will be considered at 'dive speed', and if it goes faster without diving then drag will be multiplied.

MaxDiveSpeed: The absolute maximum the flyer can go (before movement speed levels).

DiveScale: How much diving affects acceleration, increasing will let you accelerate faster.

DragScale: How much drag is applied based on current speed (very sensitive variable, adjust in increments of like .05 for a drastic change)

GravityScale: Multiplier of acceleration based on gravity.

DinoMass: How heavy the flyer is, affects how much it's affected by gravity as well, but also affects its drag and how much force it takes to accelerate.

FlapForce: How much force is applied when flapping. Higher Mass means you need higher Flap Force to accelerate at the same speed.

NonDiveSlowMult: An obtuse way of saying how quickly the flyer decelerates if it's faster than its Base Speed but not diving.

Running/HoverStamSlow/Soar: Some variables to adjust stamina drain depending on whether the flyer is over its Soaring Speed and whether it's flapping actively.

MaxSpeedGainPerLevel: Ark's speed is actually measured in cm/s so a speed gain of 100 will increase your top speed by 1 m/s.

DragLossPerLevel: Increasing this means you need fewer levels in Speed to decrease drag substantially.

AccelerationGainperLevel: How much extra FlapForce the flyer gets per level in Speed.


Toy with these variables as you like, they will be generated the first time the relevant creature spawns. Each section will have a label at the top denoting which flyer it will affect. Hopefully this also clears up some of the underlying math and mechanics, happy flying!

where do i find the ini? I am sorry if this is a dumb questions
#1
Stilgar  [developer] 24 Jun, 2022 @ 12:44pm 
@aimlesskiller ini options are in the GameUserSettings.ini file in Config folder

Sorry I can't understand the instructions, is there any default option to replicate?

i found out that once you get an if version of the tame you want and then check your ini settings you should be able to see them there though it would be really great if we could just get the default for everyone so that we don't have to close and open the game again for the options to kick in

I paste that in GameUserSettings.ini file and it doesnt work for me

@Maxim246675 i generated them by spawning a tamed IF version of every flyer available, closing the game, then opening the ini for the settings.
Trying to do this on a server didn't work for me, so make sure you're in singleplayer for it, however i really don't know why copy-pasting wouldn't work for you.

How do you generate them? I installed a mod and copy pasted someone's ini files in my and it worked I thought it will be the same here

Do you know the [IF] tag for the crystal wyverns exactly? is it just [IFCrystalWyvern}?

@Vokun Vulon I believe crystal wyverns use the [IFWyvern] options like the ice wyverns, otherwise they don't generate like the others.
I made sure to tame and convert every possible creature when doing this, including variants.

@Maxim246675 I said in my previous comment how to but the steps I took are;

  • Spawn in (flyer you want for ini options)
  • Tame it
  • Feed it an Evolver
  • Close ARK
  • Open GameUserSettings.ini and scroll to the bottom

Crystal Wyverns are NOT using the default wyvern setting, and it is not simply IFCrystalWyvern, can someone please tell me what they are actually labelled under as we have tweaked variables for most things and now these crystal wyverns are... well... crap, without being able to give them the same changes i applied elsewhere.

Is the effect of NonDiveSlowMulti lessened at a value lower than one? Probably a dumb question but the settings in ARK are all over the place as to higher or lower values increasing/decreasing the effect lol

In case anyone is still seeing this thread, was there any luck getting these variables to show up in the .ini file? I'm another one who isn't seeing them in DefaultGameUserSettings.ini. I tried copying them in myself, with no luck.
