Improved Dinos - Rare Spawns

Reduce the spawn rate/density on the raptor elite?
Any chance that you can reduce the spawn rate on the raptor elites? They're respawning VERY quickly on my server, and in quite large number. Right on the banks of rivers too. Love the mod, love the raptor elite, but seriously could use less of them spawning, actually making them fairly rare, rather than more common than normal raptors...

Thanks

That's actually why we had to disable the mod.I love the mod, the author did an awesome job. It was too much for our little server with 5 ppl to handle though. When I first installed, I thought it was just ONE boss raptor and it had a seperate spawn point where as there's only one out at a time but I was proven wrong in that assumption.

If you do Uninstall I did some testing and here's what I found:
1) you'll lose all Dino's that were spawned with the new colors that you tamed. (The only way to know this is to back up your server. Remove the mod. Look. Then revert back with your backup if you don't want to lose the dinos).

*This does not mean EVERY Dino you tamed. We tamed a ghost white pink Spino, a Reddish Spino with a white underbelly, and a Black Spino with green underbelly. All tamed near the same time and with mod on. The ghost one and the Reddish one vanished but the Black green one stayed. Which my husband is super happy about.*

2) The blueprints you recieved off the raptor elite stay. How? I have no clue.

But yeah, the Elite Raptor gets too out of control when it's a small server. I read large servers are not having an issue keeping him in check.

The solution we found, which hopefully will only need to be temporary, is that I go to the problem area with god mode and invisible mode turned on. I then use an assault rifle, and kill the raptors. I have to repeat this a few times a day though.

We were using forcetame, but after 1 day of this we ended up with more raptors than we want, so switched to killing them.

Love the mod, love the colours and think the Raptor Elite are a brilliant idea. Just think that they should be a very very rare spawn, say 2 a day tops. When they're gone, they're gone. Gives people an incentive to try to be the first to find them first, and reduces the problem on servers with small populations.

Sure, we could switch to the colours only mod from the same author, but we like THIS version, and want to keep it. ;) Just needs calming down a bit, as there are usually about 6-8 raptors in the one area, which happens to be right where a small tribe built their base down in the south.
