Does not work for Alphas on Genesis 2?
Hello,

I've set this mod up to change the Alpha Loot (of all Alphas) into Mutagen/Mutagel on Genesis 2. Now the problem is, if I spawn an Alpha and kill it, it leaves a bag with Mutagen/Mutagel as intended. But if I kill a naturally spawned Alpha (I did a dino-wipe after setting up the mod), it does not drop anything other than the default stuff.

Now I've checked the spawn codes and altough there is something called "Eerie Alpha XXX" they do not appear to have an extra ID I could use?

Has anyone tried the mod on Genesis 2 and has a solution? I mean, I could also change the loot of other harder to kill creatures like Stryders or Voidwyrm and such but I'd rather have it on the Alphas.

Thankful for any help.

Cheers, Raptor

There is a range and time check that might be causing the problem, depending on how you did your testing:

CustomAoeBuffRange=9000.0
CustomAoeMinTimeSeconds=5.0
CustomAoeMaxTimeSeconds=8.0

So if you kill one from too far or too quickly, it may not have had time to get the changed applied.

If you equip the admin gun and put it on inspect mode, point it at a dino and it'll show a list of buffs the dino has. Any dino that has my CustomDinoLoot buff, should have it's loot fixed.

I've been stalking some Alphas today with the admin gun; some get the buff after just a few seconds and some just don't care no matter how long I wait. I also added the Tek Wyvern to the list of creatures to get the buff and they work just fine, so I just suppose there is something wrong with these Alphas?

Anyways, thank you very much for your help - and the mod itself of course :)

Unless you're sitting on top of them, it could be the range check. Could try changing the 9000 to something higher.

I ran around rag and gen2 and got alphas buffed no problem, on singleplayer and dedicated server.

Any other mods that might be conflicting?
