Valguero, list of biome names for dino spawns?

[Jimbodiah]

Is there a way to find out what all the biome names are so I can spawn in certain dinos in those zones?

i.e. Snow biomes on Rag are called DinoSpawnEntriesSnow_C, but that doesn't seem to work on Valguero.

[Harbinger]

i pasted the code but i am not seeing the dinos spawning at all, did i do something wrong? Poison wyvern, lightning wyvern and the nameless isn't spawning at all. Not sure if anything else isn't but the velo and owls and griffins are spawning.

edit: rock drakes are not spawning either. hmm.

[Shinygati]

So do these just simply NOT work on single player?? i have custom spawns on the island which i used before finding this thread and they work perfectly but for some reason no matter what i try they just don't work in valguero i even tried copying the code posted above and they still don't work.

edit: Some mods appear to be causing issues even though they are perfectly compatible with other maps, i had to change the load order for "high levels" before they would spawn on valguero.

Creature IDs: https://ark.gamepedia.com/Creature_IDs

I have the same issue with multiple new spawns in a single zone but I think the answer is as per:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/346110/discussions/0/1620600279679491284/?ctp=2

Testing now.

[Shinygati]

So just an update but Valguero is really buggy with manual spawns, like seriously if you boot the game some spawns you added may be there but some won't but if you delete your save for the map and load in again different dino's will spawn and again others won't wth?

[Lord Cail]

This code worked for me with poison, lightning and fire wyverns spawning (in the deeper volcano section of the trench). Also worked with owls and manas in same zone, etc.

Here is the code broken down by lines for easy visualisation.

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=
(
NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="Val_DinoSpawnEntriesWyvernTrench_C",
NPCSpawnEntries=
(
(AnEntryName="SpawnWyvernFire",EntryWeight=0.02,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Wyvern_Character_BP_Fire_C")),
(AnEntryName="SpawnWyvernLightning",EntryWeight=0.02,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Wyvern_Character_BP_Lightning_C")),
(AnEntryName="SpawnWyvernPoison",EntryWeight=0.02,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Wyvern_Character_BP_Poison_C"))
),
NPCSpawnLimits=
(
(NPCClassString="Wyvern_Character_BP_Fire_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.02),
(NPCClassString="Wyvern_Character_BP_Lightning_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.02),
(NPCClassString="Wyvern_Character_BP_Poison_C", MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.02)
)
)

Same code as a single line for pasting into your game.ini file:

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="Val_DinoSpawnEntriesWyvernTrench_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="SpawnWyvernFire",EntryWeight=0.02,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Wyvern_Character_BP_Fire_C")),(AnEntryName="SpawnWyvernLightning",EntryWeight=0.02,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Wyvern_Character_BP_Lightning_C")),(AnEntryName="SpawnWyvernPoison",EntryWeight=0.02,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Wyvern_Character_BP_Poison_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Wyvern_Character_BP_Fire_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.02),(NPCClassString="Wyvern_Character_BP_Lightning_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.02),(NPCClassString="Wyvern_Character_BP_Poison_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.02)))

[Lord Cail]

Same method as above for adding Snow Owl, Bigfoot and Mana to Snow Forest and Ice Desert (by changing DinoSpawnEntries_Valguero_SnowForest_C in first line to DinoSpawnEntries_Valguero_IceDesert_C in second).

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=
(
NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntries_Valguero_SnowForest_C",
NPCSpawnEntries=
(
(AnEntryName="SpawnSnowOwl",EntryWeight=1,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Owl_Character_BP_C")),
(AnEntryName="SpawnBigfoot",EntryWeight=10,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Bigfoot_Character_BP_C")),
(AnEntryName="SpawnMana",EntryWeight=0.04,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("IceJumper_Character_BP_C"))
),
NPCSpawnLimits=
(
(NPCClassString="Owl_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.05),
(NPCClassString="Bigfoot_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.1),
(NPCClassString="IceJumper_Character_BP_C", MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.05)
)
)


ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntries_Valguero_SnowForest_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="SpawnSnowOwl",EntryWeight=1,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Owl_Character_BP_C")),(AnEntryName="SpawnBigfoot",EntryWeight=10,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Bigfoot_Character_BP_C")),(AnEntryName="SpawnMana",EntryWeight=0.04,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("IceJumper_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Owl_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.05),(NPCClassString="Bigfoot_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.1),(NPCClassString="IceJumper_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.05)))


ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntries_Valguero_IceDesert_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="SpawnSnowOwl",EntryWeight=1,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Owl_Character_BP_C")),(AnEntryName="SpawnBigfoot",EntryWeight=10,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Bigfoot_Character_BP_C")),(AnEntryName="SpawnMana",EntryWeight=0.04,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("IceJumper_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Owl_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.05),(NPCClassString="Bigfoot_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.1),(NPCClassString="IceJumper_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.05)))

You may have saved my life with this, I'll update when I get the chance. The fire wyvern code would also spawn I would assume the alpha? or i need to also put that in for its specific spawn command?

[Lord Cail]

Using the code below I was able to get frequent mana spawns along with owls and bigfoots in the snow.. because.. bigfoot. Also added a few ice golems in the snow plains for fun.

Don't forget to delete all wild dinos for the respawns to occur..

[Impact]

does adding the rockdrakes automatically make the nest spawn too ?

[that guy]

can anyone show me how to make gasbags spawn on the chalk hills zone? i don't want to mess it up accidentaly

[Harbinger]

Spawn works, thanks Lord Cail. I was wondering if you could also do a basilisk/ice titan/forest titan/desert titan code as well? Titanosaurs don't seem to spawn as well, would be nice to have them.

@anyone - are the rock drakes in your maps laying eggs?

from what we have observed on our server, no nest is spawning even with the drakes there... which kinda sucks. :/
