Level 5-10 dinos scale config.
I've seen in many servers that the dinos spawn in certain levels, i think that way is easier.
The dinos just spawn in 5 scale (5, 10, 15, 20.... max. 150 or 120 I don't remember) and I want to ask if someone know how to put that configuration in a single player map. Thanks :steamhappy: :steamhappy: :steamhappy: :steamhappy:

Go to your gameusersettings.ini configuration file, and on a new line under the [ServerSettings] header paste the following:

OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5.0

And just with that I'll get 5-10-15.... level dinos??
And which is the max. level in that Difficulty??

Yes, the difficulty is a multiplier, so a difficulty 5 will get you dinos in increments of 5, up to a max level of 150.

Difficulty 4 goes up in multiples of 4, and gets a max of 120.

Oh thanks a lot :) :)
And, do you know a way to get more engram points for each level up?
Is there a way to do that in singleplayer?
🦊 Hermit May 17, 2017 @ 3:28pm 
It is possible to do yeah, but it's a little more complicated.

Here's a link to a post I made some time ago explaining how to do it. Have a read, then if you have any questions I'll try my best to answer them. You should just be able to do the engram bit without bothering with the level adjustments too, so ignore the level parts.

Hope it helps^^

Thanks man!
One last question, all that you're saying work for singleplayer right?
Boomer May 17, 2017 @ 4:02pm 
And where I paste all the process things you said in the post? I'm stuck at the WindowsNoEditor
🦊 Hermit May 17, 2017 @ 4:30pm 
Yes, so long as they're input into the correct file they should work for single player too^^

The difficulty override goes into the GameUserSettings.ini file in that folder, under the heading [ServerSettings]. While the engram overrides go into the Game.ini file, under the heading [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode].

The first file should already have the ServerSettings heading in it somewhere, but the second one will likely be empty, so you'll have to paste that heading in yourself at the top of the file.

Oh nice now I see it, what should I put to get +100lvls on tames and +50 on player?
🦊 Hermit May 17, 2017 @ 4:37pm 
You mean to adjust the level curve? That's covered in the post I linked above as well ;) I can't give you an exact curve for the player, but if you search online you should be able to find one that you can copy.

And we do use a 100 level dino curve on or server so if you want me to copy the code for that I can do - just be aware that we have a low XP multiplier on our server so the dinos are set to level up much faster in order to compensate for that, so they may gain levels a little too fast on vanilla XP rates.

Oh, and one more thing to note that I forgot to mention before: the difficulty setting you're changing will only affect new spawns, not dinos which have already been spawned into your world before the difficulty change. So in order to make sure it's working, when you get into your world, press TAB and type 'destroywilddinos' (without the quotes). This will remove any dinos which have already spawned in, and the game will repopulate the map with new ones at the new level settings.
Boomer May 17, 2017 @ 4:41pm 
The 100 curve dinos you mean that after taming you can level up another 100 levels right?
If its that copy me yours pls and how I set XP for a x5 level multiplier, or what multiplier do you use so I put the same one and do not change the numbers
🦊 Hermit May 17, 2017 @ 4:49pm 
Yeah we use a player level cap of 300 and a dino level cap of 100 after taming.

To adjust your XP multiplier, go into the GameUserSettings file, under [ServerSettings] again, and look for the field named XPMultiplier. We use a setting of 0.04 there, but this does make for a much slower game where it takes a long time to gain levels, so it might not be your preferred playstyle. I don't think using a vanilla XP multiplier of 1.0 would nessecarily 'break' the dino levels or anything, so you could try it if you like, up to you. Find a balance you're comfortable with.

The level code is quite long, don't think a Steam post will let me put it all in, so I'll post it up on Pastebin and you can get it from there. I'll do the player levels too, just so you can have them as well if you're interested. If you want both, copy it all, but if you just want dino levels, only copy the second level code and the OverrideMaxExperiencePointsDino field.

Ok, and if I have x5 multiplier what should I do?

Has anyone else had issues with the max player level being locked at 115 after the ascension patch? i have the ini setup for 150 but its still stuck at 115 on server. anyone have a way to fix this?

Just adjust the XPMultiplier field to read XPMultiplier=5.0 ;)

After they introduced ascension the last 15 levels are locked behind that gane progression, so if you want to keep your former max level without going through ascension you have to adjust your code to be 15 levels higher than it was before. Is that what you mean?
