Dinosaur Respaw

[Leandroone]

Hello, I have an Ark server ASA on Nitrado, and I would like to block some dinos. I tried using the following commands in Game.ini:

NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Titanosaur_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="")
NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Ichthyornis_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="")
NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Purlovia_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="")
NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Kaprosuchus_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="")
NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Pegomastax_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="")

However, without success, they continue to appear on the map.
I would greatly appreciate it if someone knows how to do it

That looks right. Did you do a dino wipe afterward?

Yes I did, cheat DestroyWildDinos

That looks right to me also, your syntax is identical to what we use on my server, I copied this from my Game.ini file.

     NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Titanosaur_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="")

 

1) Did you do a server shutdown and restart after adding that to your Game.ini file?

2) After doing a server restart, did you look in your Game.ini file just to confirm that the entries are still in the file and didn't get overwritten during the server startup?

3) After restarting the server, did you do a dino wipe as noted by zero064 above?

Edit: I see your answer above. So when you did the DestroyWildDinos command did you watch some nearby dinos to make sure that you saw them disappear and start respawning?  I know that sounds a little picky, but in my experience it's important to make sure that you see it happening.

 

If you have done all three of those steps and it's still not working, then you might need to contact either NItrado or WC support.

Yes, I did everything you mentioned without success. And if you use the same command and it works, then I should contact support.

hmmm... is it possible that some of the dino names (coding in the files) have changed in ASA? In a Captain Fatdog video I saw that he couldn't produce a Bronto:
