Having issues spawning in Big G?
Hey all!

If you are having issues with getting Big D to spawn and are an admin of a non-official server, or can point this thread out to your admin, check this out, as this is the issue I had when none of the spawn commands were working, and it fixed it right up!

This requires you to either:

1.) Have access to the Hosting Admin panel for the non-official hosted server
2.) Show this guide to your admin who has access as listed in step 1.

First, login to your Server Management Control Panel.

On the non-official server File Manager (this is for LOW.MS, you could have something named differently on yours but the concept is the same) check the path where the the mods are installed - the path could vary based on the hosting provider but for mine (LOW.MS) it was the following:

\ShooterGame\Content\Mods

Here the mods should be listed as folders with their corresponding SteamID as its folder name, for this mod the folder should be named 2514065085. MY ISSUE was when the mod was installed from the control panel @ LOW.MS, the folder name was -130934944 (or something such, it had a minus sign in front of it).

When I renamed the folder to the correct mod # (again 2514065085) and checked the GameUserSettings.ini to make sure it was listed under the ActiveMods= entry and started the server, I was able to use the admin commands to spawn a wild Big G.

The Admin command destroywilddinos also wipes any wild Big G's.


P.S. I have registered a ticket with LOW.MS support on this issue with the mods, so perhaps it's just an issue on their end, still sharing in the hopes to help as the concept to check the path of the mod and make sure the folder is named the same as the mod ID in ActiveMods= :D
