ACA Alphas wont spawn with Ark Eternal Mod
Hello. I need some help. I run an Ark Eternal server. I added ACA because there was some really cool creatures and the balance was not too big, so it complimented Eternal well. Here is the problem. The ACA Alphas will not spawn with the Eternal mod. I believe this reason is because Eternal and ACA use the exact same Dino Tags for alphas. Eternal mod has to be loaded first in the mod list or it will not work correctly. So I think it may be over-riding the ACA alphas.
I even tried to spawn an ACA Alpha using admin commands and the Alpha that spawns is an Eternal Alpha, not an ACA.

Here is an example of the spawn codes from both mods.

Eternal: AdminCheat spawndino "Blueprint'/Game/Mods/AE/Dinos/Alpha/Allo/Alpha_Allo_Character_BP.Alpha_Allo_Character_BP'" 500 0 0 150

ACA: cheat spawndino "Blueprint'/Game/Mods/ACA2/Dinos/Alpha/Allo/Alpha_Allo_Character_BP.Alpha_Allo_Character_BP'" 1 1 1 [LEVEL]

those are copied straight from each mods web site. As you can see Alpha_Allo_Character_BP is the exact same for both mods.

Since Alphas are important for both mods I tried to offset this by specifying in the GameUserSettings.ini the spawn rate of alphas for each mod. Example

[Eternal]
DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag=Alpha_Allo_Character_BP_C,SpawnWeightMultiplier=0.50,OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=true,SpawnLimitPercentage=0.50)

[ACASettings]
DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag=Alpha_Allo_Character_BP_C,SpawnWeightMultiplier=0.50,OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=true,SpawnLimitPercentage=0.50)

The idea I had was to half the amount of spawn from each mod by specifying the amount under each mod name. So Eternal only spawn 50% of it's alpha Allo and ACA will only spawn 50% of it's Allo.

Sadly this hasn't worked. All it did was cut the Eternal Alpha spawns in half and NO ACA alphas are spawning at all still. I even tried disabling the Eternal Alphas just to see if it would work, but then there just wasn't any alphas.

PS. All of the other creatures for both mods spawn great. It is just the ACA alphas that don't spawn.

I am kind of out of ideas. ACA is a nice compliment to Eternal for people who don't want to grind bosses and like the mutation idea. Any ideas would really be great.

Thanks

Of course it doesnt work with that mod because that mod is using the same files without a permission. Dont use it if you support me. More info: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/923779490/1333474229072877806/
