How to Edit your Game.ini to spawn the creatures WC removed.

Blolfenegergamagarner · June 24, 2019

Hey guys, the following code will add Gachas, Snow Owls, Griffins, Velonasaurs, and Shinehorns back into Valguero.
Since Fire Wyverns were recently added back in in a recent patch, I think this is everything returned except for Rock Drakes(which the Valguero dev intends to add back in with a separate mod).

This is NOT entirely my work, so please don't credit me for it, I just tweaked it a bit to slightly increase Gacha spawn rate, and added Griffins and Shinehorns, a modder by the name of "Nevcairiel" found the spawn containers for Valguero and put together the code for adding Gachas, Snow Owls, and Velons....... a reddit user by the name of "Jeb500" archived this info from Discord...... so credit them, not me....... to make this work, on Single Player or Dedicated server, just add this code to your Game.ini file anywhere under the "[/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameMode]" heading.
Start your server or load your sp game, and do a "Destroywilddinos", and you're off to the races...... have fun.

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="VAL_DinoSpawnEntries_TwitchFertileLand_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Gacha (EX)",EntryWeight=0.03,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Gacha_Character_BP_C")),(AnEntryName="Shinehorn",EntryWeight=0.07,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("LanternGoat_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Gacha_Character_BP_C", MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.03),(NPCClassString="LanternGoat_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.07)))
ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="VAL_DinoSpawnEntries_TwitchFertileLand_Mix_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Gacha (EX)",EntryWeight=0.03,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Gacha_Character_BP_C")),(AnEntryName="Shinehorn",EntryWeight=0.07,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("LanternGoat_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Gacha_Character_BP_C", MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.03),(NPCClassString="LanternGoat_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.07)))
ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntries_Valguero_SnowForest_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Snow Owl (EX)",EntryWeight=0.04,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Owl_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Owl_Character_BP_C", MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.05)))
ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntries_Valguero_IceDesert_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Snow Owl (EX)",EntryWeight=0.04,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Owl_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Owl_Character_BP_C", MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.05)))
ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesTundra_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Velona (EX)",EntryWeight=0.125,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Spindles_Character_BP_C")),(AnEntryName="Griffin",EntryWeight=0.025,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Griffin_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Spindles_Character_BP_C", MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.125),(NPCClassString="Griffin_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.025)))
ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntries_ChalkHills_Golem_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Griffin",EntryWeight=0.025,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Griffin_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Griffin_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.025)))

You're gonna need saddle engrams too, lol just figured that out after taming a snow owl....... add the following code right under the code shown above to the Game.ini file

EngramEntryAutoUnlocks=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_SpindlesSaddle_C",LevelToAutoUnlock=27)
EngramEntryAutoUnlocks=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_GachaSaddle_C",LevelToAutoUnlock=38)
EngramEntryAutoUnlocks=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_OwlSaddle_C",LevelToAutoUnlock=61)

Thank you so much for this!!

Can anyone figure out what you should write to readd the Griffins?

The code adds back Griffins, Gachas, Snow Owls, Velonasaurs, and Shinehorns.

If Griffins are the only thing you want to add back, just use the last two lines of the code, it adds only griffins, adds them to the Chalk Hills area

Thanks, I just noticed that myself.. lol.. So glad it's soon vacation time..

New and restored Spawn entries for Valguero

Me and some friends rent a server from Nitrado and just recently looked into adding new spawns and trying to restore spawns cut by wildcard. the spawns are still being tested, especially the drake trench entries but i decided to share what i've made so far.

Tundra- Velonasaur:

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesTundra_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Velona (EX)",EntryWeight=0.125,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Spindles_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Spindles_Character_BP_C", MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.125)))

Drake Trench (still untested and balanced as no one on our server has yet to get Hazmat. Use at your own risk)- Rock Drakes, Reaper Queens, and Nameless:

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="Val_DinoSpawnEntries_DrakeTrench_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="RockDrake",EntryWeight=.05,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("RockDrake_Character_BP_C")),(AnEntryName="Nameless",EntryWeight=1.0,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("ChupaCabra_Character_BP_C")),(AnEntryName="ReaperQueen",EntryWeight=.05,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Xenomorph_Character_BP_Female_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="RockDrake_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.001),(NPCClassString="ChupaCabra_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.01),(NPCClassString="Xenomorph_Character_BP_Female_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.01)))

Mountain Spawns- Megalasurus, Megalania, and Griffins:

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesMonsterIsland_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Megaloasaur",EntryWeight=1.0,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Megalosaurus_Character_BP_C")),(AnEntryName="Megalania",EntryWeight=1.0,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Megalania_Character_BP_C")),(AnEntryName="Griffin",EntryWeight=1.0,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Griffin_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Megalosaurus_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.1),(NPCClassString="Megalania_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.1),(NPCClassString="Griffin_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=1.0)))

All of these spawn Entries are works in progress. all you need to do is copy and paste them into your Ark Game.ini. If you think any of them over spawn or do not spawn enough you just have to edit the entry weight and max Percentage fields on the configs.

Megalania are jungle and grassland (White Cliffs) or at least should be... not complaining because honestly you’re doing Odin’s work dude. Just nitpicking a bit because people put things in the wrong biome... usually I don’t complain but those big lizards would be miserable in the cold areas. ?

but seriously great work!!!

Moonie1 · July 3, 2019

There are two mods for this. The first one is by the map owner of Valguero and adds all the dinos back in that were taken out by Wildcard. The second mod is by the two guys that worked with the map owner to make Valguero and adds in those dinos along with more missing dinos. Check out the workshop for them.

fdm · July 4, 2019

He alsi said that will be adding extra content through the mod, like the tek cave. Last I checked it was missing the saddles though, so thise may need to be added via the ini

Astounded · July 23, 2019

thank you for making my game life so much better with this code. Do you know if you were able to get the rock drake eggs to spawn in or how does that work?

Does this code work for ps4?

Can I Please Get Some Help Touching Up My Spawn Containers?

I've been attacking this for a while now, I got the edits to my loot boxes to work (and they now drop fertilized rock drake, lightning wyvern, and poison wyvern eggs), and by itself I actually got the Desert Titan spawning on my Valguero map, but when I put all the spawns it everything just craps out. Maybe I'm missing something?

Here is what I put in;
