Override Engram Level / Cost or Disable
The engram cost and the level you can change for your server, or optionally hide / disable engrams.

Put this in your server's Game.ini , one each on new line:

For Photon Sentry / Battery
OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_TurretPhoton_C",EngramHidden=True,EngramPointsCost=50,EngramLevelRequirement=80,RemoveEngramPreReq=False)

OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_PhotonAmmo_C",EngramHidden=True,EngramPointsCost=50,EngramLevelRequirement=80,RemoveEngramPreReq=False)


For Photon Rifle / Ammo:
OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_PhotonGun_C",EngramHidden=True,EngramPointsCost=50,EngramLevelRequirement=80,RemoveEngramPreReq=False)

OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_PhotonCore_C",EngramHidden=True,EngramPointsCost=50,EngramLevelRequirement=80,RemoveEngramPreReq=False)


For Gel-O-Matic:
OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_GelOMatic_C",EngramHidden=True)
OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_GelExtract_C",EngramHidden=True)


Note: To disable engrams, just change to EngramHidden=True.

Hello, I am trying to disable the photon rifle engram on my server and after copying the above code (with engramhidden=true) into my Game.ini file once in game I see that the photon rifle is still learnable but the Tranq Rifle from a different mod is disabled. Any ideas as to why I am not able to disable the photon rifle? Do I need to put the code into gameusersettings.ini under [JoanPhoton]? Thanks for your help.

Game.ini and EngramHidden=True
Don't put into gameusersetting...

Also know that this only disables learning of the engram. If the engram is already learnt its too late, you need to restart server without the mod once to wipe all mod items and its engrams from all players, then restart it with the mod again with the disabled setting.

Hello, I copied the above "OverrideNamedEngramEntries..." for all for items. I pasted it into my Game.ini file under everything I have in there which were all under the [shootergame...etc] and rebooted my server, but the engrams were neither disabled nor hidden. I did change the False for hiding engrams to True for all. I even stopped the server, deleted the folder, ran the server without the mod once to do a complete wipe of it. Copied the folder for the mod back under the Mods folder, then stopped the server again, ran the mod in the commandline, and entered the server, and still all the engrams were unlearned, but shows (not hidden) and are learnable. I'm also using the ACM mod which also has the same override line under the Game.ini file, but that is always hidden and unlearnable upon server bootup. Do you have any other suggestions that I can try? Much appreciated. Thank you.

im not sure.. so its not the first time u tried changing your game.ini, means u got it to work with other setting before?
i heard that some server managers might reset it, so try changing and saving it when your server manager and everything are closed.

This no longer seems to work, as of the engram update in patch 257

This worked perfectly before but now does nothing
OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_PhotonGun_C",EngramHidden=False,EngramPointsCost=50,EngramLevelRequirement=100,RemoveEngramPreReq=False)

Any ideas?
