I'm glad you asked, I was actually just about to look into modifying mine as well although I haven't actually tried to yet. I was going more for a higher experience ramp though rather than more levels but if I can't modify the default settings then I won't bother right now..

OverrideMaxExperiencePointsPlayer is capped by the engine at 1,000,000... so your changes will never work. When I created my XP curves, I had to adapt a curve that fit to that limit.

So how is it possible that i had always had a much higher Exp Requirments before i added your mod i had lvl 500 with 4 mil EXP requirment .

Well, let me rephrase that. Back when I used to run a server, Ark was capped at 1 million XP. If you were able to run with a higher limit, they might have removed that cap.

The reason why changing the Epic Level params gets reset on the server reset is unknown to me. Control over which variables are exposed in the INI is not available, AFAIK, through UDK blueprints (ark mods). I found no documentation on the UDK for that, except for how to do it through C++ (which can't be done for ark mods). I did spent some time over this, because I wanted to expose the difficulty multiplier in the INI, to allow everyone to set whatever max level they wanted (beyond the current which is the max sane value).

So if those params aren't working, I'm afraid there's not much I can do on my end. I'll try to investigate further on the weekend, but don't get your hopes up. =( Modding on ARK isn't as flexible as one would hope.

i know right now trying to build my own mod to increase the difficulty without the player lvls and engrams so i can satisfy my players again xD thx for your reaction on this .

I can probably exclude my level changes from this mod, but people will freak out because of the changes.... even though they would just have to add it back to the INI. I can cook a mod for you with only the DifficultyOffset changes if you want, but I'm weary of changing this one now...

if you can do that i will be very happy panda :P

Yeah I just tried changing the engram points added per level and it reset as well, also I can have more than the exp you have set if I actually set the cap higher.. I think because your INI settings in your mod get placed directly into the INI even if we change them they always get reset.. Most other mods have a default built into the mod but don't seem to actually change your INI file but they do "offer" you the option of adding in the bits and pieces into your INI file so you can then tweak the settings which then override the default settings contained in the mod. At least that's what I am getting from working with/reading the other mods I use.. and on a side note I have 70+ mods a lot of which have optional INI settings which you can enter to override what the default settings of the mod does, don't know if that makes sense lol.. but I only have like 3 mods which I have customized settings in the INI for..

I'll take a look at it in the weekend if I manage to find time.

@Redeye123
I've created the new mod, and actually, it's more flexible than I expected... It's visibility is friends only, but I have sent you a friend request so you can access it:

Please try it out, and let me work if it works as expected. Unfortunately I didn't have time except to do basic testing. As soon as you say it's okay, I'll make it public,

@BBFz0r
Would it be possible to add me, so that I can try testing your difficulty offset only mod please?

Does not work yet .

@IFlyAnXWing Redeye123 tested for me, and so did I, and its still not working... I'm trying to find a workaround in the ARK Dev kit to make it work, but so far I haven't figured out a way to change a core parameter dynamically from the mod, on a real server.... the most fustrating is that it works perfectly fine on the SDK =P

Is there any news on this kind of running into this problem now on my server

DELETE THE UNUSED LINKS OR POSTINGS WHO ARE NOT IN USING ANYMORE,,,, its damn enoying (mods or admins)
