Dino level cap on private server?
Hi,
I read that there is/was a cap of lvl 450 on official servers and I was wondering were I can see/change the level cap on my private server. We started breeding some time ago and we don't want our dinos to disappear once they reach a certain level.
Thanks for the help!

this does not affect unofficial servers however

Just be sure to not use more than 254 level in a single stat for a dino too. If you put 255 or 256 level in one stat it will get deleted anyway on server restart, even unofficial.

How could you possibly do that..?

Stack mutations.

how to do what? add 255 dino levels?
Easy Override levels in game INI. Files

Ah, ok... But if you have to not go over the level cap of 450 then that would be impossible because each mutation adds 2 levels and you have to stop breeding at level 277 to allow for the 73 tame levels which takes you too exactly 450.

So you could not get THAT many levels in one stat...., or do I have it wrong..? as I am still learning the breeding stuff.

the level cap for 450 is for Official Server Deletion of any Dino that reaches 450+
but with unofficial servers the Dino is not deleted but gets lowered on a restart ->

225 is the max limit the game can handle in a dino's stat before it loops and starts counting up from 1 again. The official servers may have extra limits in addition to that base programming one to prevent creatures becoming too powerful.

Yeah, I can understand them not wanting dinos too powerful, kinda unfair on newer players.

I know this is an old thread , but I'm currently running a private server with wild dino max level 1999. It's working fine and dinos stay that high.

i am running a private server as wel i was wondering since i removed the XP cap . Is that the setting that determines the max XP? I currently have a 330 tamed dino, and it seems that is getting higher. What settings are you using to increase the lvl cap ?

It's been quite some time since i last commented here.
My original statement stays the same.
A Dino cap is 450 on official servers. {any higher than 450 will be deleted}
A Dino can Level up 73 times on Official Servers {Unless WildCard have increased this.}
A Dino on an Unofficial Server Can Be Maxed out presumably around 1500 {if not a few more}
A Dino on an Unofficial Server can have more level Ups Added Higher than the 73 levels on official Servers. Look around for the coding.
- - > GameUserSettings.
- To get Higher Dinos add -> OverrideOfficialDifficulty=
- To get Harder Hitting Wild Dinos add -> WildDinoDamage= .This does not affect Tamed Dinos.

You are not talking about the same thing, wild dino max level is not the same as the tamed dino level cap/override.

Which level cap are you referring to? Tamed level cap or wild dino max level?

So I set this in the settings of my Game.ini OverrideMaxExperiencePointsDino=1000000000.
Since I think some of my dinos were bugged and stopped leveling.
Is that too crazy ? I already have the overrideofficialdifficulty to 6

OverrideMaxExperiencePointsDino=1000000000 does override the max XP cap but usually it is done in conjunction with the LevelExperienceRampOverrides=XXXX command.

If you find your dinos bugging out, level wise, this may be the issue.
