DrunkDilo Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Windows 10 Spawning Config Hello people of the ark, I have a question. So I run a Dedicated Server on my PC, and My friend and I play on that dedicated server from our xbox's and we are playing on Crystal Isles. I want Extinction creatures to spawn on are world, but I dont know if you can even do that on the Window's 10 version of ark. If you can, can someone help me do it (Telling me what code stuff I have to do and where)? Thanks, and please remember its NOT on the steam version.

AndrokSurvivor Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Using file explorer... 1. Navigate to C:\Users\{your_username} 2. Open the 'view' menu and ensure "Hidden Items" is checked, you will now see a folder called 'appdata' 3. Navigate to C:\Users\{your_username}\AppData\Local\Packages\StudioWildcard.RANDOMLETTERSANDNUMBERS\LocalState\Saved\UWPConfig\UWP 4. Open 'Game.ini', i strongly recommend using 'notepad++' for this: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/ 5. At the top of the file (before [ShooterGameMode_Options]), insert a new line and enter the following: [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] 6. Underneath this new line is where you'll enter your spawn commands, you need to know two things to create a spawn: - The creature class name: https://ark.gamepedia.com/Creature_IDs - The spawn class name: https://ark.gamepedia.com/Spawn_Entries#Crystal_Isles The command to create a spawn is: ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="SPAWNCLASSNAME",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="TYPEANYTHINGHERE",EntryWeight=DOUBLEVALUE,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("CREATURECLASSNAME"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="CREATURECLASSNAME", MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=DOUBLEVALUE))) EntryWeight = chances of chosen creature to spawn, 1.0 = will always spawn, 0.01 = very rare to spawn MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow = Percentage of the spawn that can be taken up by this creature, 1.0 = this spawn can consist of only this creature, 0.01 = 1% of this spawn can be taken up by this creature (After much testing i can confirm that there is no point setting a value lower that 0.01 for these settings) Here are two examples from my config for Genesis: Inserting one dino into a spawn... (if you have multiple of this command for the same spawn none of the creatures that you've added for that spawn will spawn!) ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="Gen1_Bog_Springs_DinoSpawnEntries",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Velona",EntryWeight=0.1,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Spindles_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Spindles_Character_BP_C", MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.05))) Inserting multiple dinos into a spawn... ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="Gen1_Bog_Forest_DinoSpawnEntries",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="TropicalWyvern",EntryWeight=0.05,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("CrystalWyvern_Character_BP_WS_C")),(AnEntryName="Tropeognathus",EntryWeight=0.1,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Tropeognathus_Character_BP_C")),(AnEntryName="Gacha",EntryWeight=0.5,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Gacha_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="CrystalWyvern_Character_BP_WS_C", MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.01),(NPCClassString="Tropeognathus_Character_BP_C", MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.05),(NPCClassString="Gacha_Character_BP_C", MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.05))) Full example: [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="Gen1_Bog_Springs_DinoSpawnEntries",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Velona",EntryWeight=0.1,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Spindles_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Spindles_Character_BP_C", MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.05))) [ShooterGameMode_Options] ...........
