New Dragon Configs
It seems like the new configurable settings for the dragons are not really taking effect or are not workign to their full potential. I want to nerf the dragon's Stam, Weight, Health, fire damage, and boost their Torp. The fire damage seemed to nerf OK by cutting it from 18 to 9, but the rest of the stats only have a small decrease, I mean I cut stam from 1200 to 100 and a level 44 Dragon still has 2k stam when tranq'd.

I really want to be able to use these on my server but at this point they are too OP for them to overpower all other dinos.

I placed the tweaks at the bottom of the the gameusersettings.ini as instructed. Please advise.

Some were causing an issue with the Dragons forcing thier stats to get reset and not save properly. The part of the statuscomponent that the game uses to determine all of the stats is still closed off to mod developers in blueprint. If and when the Ark development team decides to open more variables to mod developers, I will add proper configs for them.

The updated ini listing is in the description. has been since that very update really...

Thank you for taking the time to respond and I appreciate all the hard work on the mod.

So just so I am clear. These are the only parameters that currently work properly?:

[Small_Dragons]

RunSpeedModifier=3.000000

FlyingRunSpeedModifier=1.000000

FireDamage=18.000000

RunStaminaConsumeRate=0.0

WalkStaminaConsumeRate=0.0


Because I am using the newly added parameters, here are my exact settings for testing:

[Small_Dragons]
RunSpeedModifier=3.000000
FlyingRunSpeedModifier=1.000000
FireDamage=9.000000
BaseMaxHealth=900.0
BaseMaxStamina=50.0
BaseMaxTorpidity=5000.0
BaseMaxOxygen=150.0
BaseMaxWeight=150.0
BaseMaxDMGMultiplier=1.0
BaseMaxSpeedMultiplier=0.0
RunStaminaConsumeRate=20.0
WalkStaminaConsumeRate=5.0


Are the added parameters not expected to function for now until the Ark devs give deeper control?

THANKS!

I want to put this mod on my server if they're not too OP.
Please nerf a little bit at least for stam & speed ASAP.

Thanks for the COOL mod!

changing the fly speed to .7 causes lag/rubberbanding on dragon only

Do NOT change flyingrunspeed or you will rubberband.

Those settings are adjusted in the GameUserSettings.ini file, which if you add, remove or alter the mod ID numbers you are running on your server in ANY way at all, then save it with your admin panel from your server host (if your server is hosted ) then it will delete all the info you just added about dragons.

You can't change your message of the day, mod ID's or anything else in the admin panel and save it or you will overwrite anything you changed dealing with dragons. Instead just FTP to your server and right click then "edit" on the .ini file instead of using Cpanel on your server host.

If you want to change more for the dragons to balance them.. this can be added to your Game.ini file.

To reduce population to only a few per server, try this. Adjust as needed depnding on your overall spawn multiplyer.

DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag=SDragon,SpawnWeightMultiplier=0.1,OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=true,SpawnLimitPercentage=0.01)

To balance defense.

TamedDinoClassResistanceMultipliers=(ClassName="Small_Dragon_Character_BP_C",Multiplier=0.15)

To balance Damage.

TamedDinoClassDamageMultipliers=(ClassName="Small_Dragon_Character_BP_C",Multiplier=0.5)

Nope, don't work. the

RunStaminaConsumeRate=20.0
WalkStaminaConsumeRate=5.0

need to be

RunStaminaConsumeRate=-20.0
WalkStaminaConsumeRate=-5.0

To work in that regards (added in the "-" between the "=" and the #. The stamina, health, etc. don't work from that list-still these stats no matter what I put in at lvl 1:
