Whyate Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 So I have my own unofficial dedicated PS4 ark server and I'm trying to get the max lvl to be 150 (on wild Dino's) but when I get into the server the Dino's are mostly like lvl 4's and some lvl 1's and I haven't seen anything above 22 and I have the difficulty on 1, what should I put for max 150? edit: and I've tried even difficulty 50 and same thing, does it have anything with the override difficulty thing?

Zephyrbell Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I'm having the same issue. If you go to https://wiki.nitrado.net/en/Difficulty_settings_of_your_ARK:_Survival_Evolved_Server You'll see the server settings for all of the other servers. I've tried 5 and 0, 5 and 1, and 5 and 1.2857. All 3 get me a weird mix of dino levels. I want to have level 150 dinos. If anyone else can figure this out please let me know.

Zephyrbell Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Figured it out, if anyone is looking for how to set dinos max lvl to 150 for PC. You change the Offset to 1, and the override to 5. (I know it's the opposite of what you would usually do, but just trust me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfarmerc9 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 @Zephyrbell Where is the line to edit for PC servers? I'm not seeing a line titled override in either of my . ini files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MirageUK Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Just in the process of setting this up myself and all I did was add the offset to GameUserSettings.ini. [ServerSettings] DifficultyOffset=1.25 I have done DestroyWildDinos and after 10 minutes extracted the save data using Ark-tools and can confirm that I do appear to have max wild of 150. Our Island server has a DifficultyOffset=1.0 and a Max Wild level 120. Re-checked. Only rock drakes appear to have levels above 120 using this offset with one just appearing at 152. Back to the settings and I will update when confident of my own answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for Rock Drakes which seemingly just spawn at whatever level they like (185 is max atm) my server now seems to be spawning most animals at a max level of 150 using the below settings in GameUserSettings.ini [ServerSettings] OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5.0 DifficultyOffset=1.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookofBlade Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 wyverns can spawn over the normal max cap so i would assume rock drakes can as well as they function much the same way as far as how to obtain one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MirageUK Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I've only ever played the original Island so wasn't aware of the Wyvern spawn levels. I think my Aberration server has finally settled now with almost 20k wild creatures and the max on ANY is now 150 - with exception of the Rock Drake which currently has levels on my server up to 190 at the moment.

BookofBlade Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 That lines up with the spawning on official SE servers so im thinking you got it setup right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GINJANINJA1610 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 How about those on PC doing single Player? I have creatures that level in set a of 4 rather than 5 for max 150. Can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I will try That, it's just that on my ragnarok SP my difficulty is set the same as my aberration and that spawns in loads of 150s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GINJANINJA1610 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Somehow every time I set the difficulty to 5.0, it changes it back to 1 when I exit and check the difficulty again. Anyone know why it does That? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know why it does That? The difficultyoffset, what that slider you're talking about changes, maxes at 1. The difficulty is calculated FROM that number based on the map, on aberration an offset of 1 gets you a difficulty of 4, and max difficulty check in the options that should push that to 5 does not work. You need to go to the config file and use the setting quoted below. The override line will not exist by default and you will need to add it. The config files are in ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor for SP on windows. On 12/15/2017 at 9:05 AM, MirageUK said: Indeed.

BaldBudgie Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Not sure if you got this option on pc, but on ps4 my difficulty is set to 1 and theres a box in settings named "maximum difficulty" that needs to be checked. The dinos on my map now spawn at lvl 30, 50, 100, 135, 150 and so on, like on official Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabnlab Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Are high lvl dinos just rare on Aberration? I have a private pc server with these settings [ServerSettings] OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5.0 DifficultyOffset=1.0 Which I think should get me a max wild lvl of 225, but I did a destroywild dinos...then flew around with admin commands for an hour and the highest dino I found was 116, and most averaged under 70. Are my setting wrong or is it normal for high lvls to be really rare? I played rag for several months and high lvls were everywhere, so maybe im just spoiled.

MirageUK Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 116? Im not sure your settings are working correctly. With them settings I seem to get spawns up to 150 wild but all appear to have a level divisible by 5 even the low levels. It looked odd to me at first coming from a 120 server that had levels such as 116 etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MirageUK Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 We use ARK-tools to extract JSON text files from the world save after downloading over FTP. https://github.com/Qowyn/ark-tools/releases The command we use is just to export wild creatures: ark-tools.exe wild c:\ARK\Abberation_P.ark C:\ARK\Wild\ Outputs 1 JSON file for each wild creature type - and contains a list of all creatures of that type on the map with co-ords and levels etc. Example from LanternPug_Character_BP_C.json: { "x": -79926.3515625, "y": -308332.5, "z": 73048.6640625, "lat": 11.5, "lon": 40.0, "id": 137595239046394770, "female": true, "color0": 47, "color2": 32, "color3": 50, "color4": 30, "color5": 45, "baseLevel": 5, "wildLevels": { "stamina": 1, "oxygen": 1, "food": 1, "weight": 1 } } Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glidded to the bottom of the map today, and found some 130+ drakes, but still no where near 225 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
