Rock drake nests mod

[Masignu]

Is there a way to allow for Rock Drake nests to spawn in on my Rag server so that fertilized eggs are a thing?

Currently we have Rock Drakes spawning naturally, and if you kill one they have a fertilized egg in their inventory, but the problem is it doesn’t have parents and therefore is a dud egg.

Was wondering if there’s a config file in existence that I can put into my game ini files to allow for a natural nest spawns along with fert eggs?

Can add drake nests.

What code did you use to spawn them in? I have:

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="Rag_DinoSpawnEntries_Center_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="RockDrakeSpawner",EntryWeight=0.02,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("RockDrake_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="RockDrake_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.01)))

but it doesn't seem to be working.

I assume "RockDrakeSpawner" is where I'm messing up since not all creature have their spawners set like that, but I can't find the real spawner name anywhere.

The 'Entry Name' field can be anything you like, it's just an identifier to make it more easy to locate in the .ini file. There's no 'right' or 'wrong' entry to put in there.

I think the issue you're having might be the SpawnEntriesContainerClassString. I believe the correct entry would be "DinoSpawnEntries_Ragnarok_Center_C" rather than "Rag_DinoSpawnEntries_Center_C".

Hope that helps^^

That's a load off my mind actually, I remember having the hardest time trying to find the Entry name for spawners a while back.

Some Ragnarok areas use different lay-outs, unsure why:

I may have simply made them to rare, vanilla creatures sometimes need higher entry weights than modded ones. Thanks.

I think some of the entries in that topic are erronious I'm afraid. I use the listings on the official wiki - wikis aren't always accurate, but those ones have always worked perfectly for me:

For example, the Ragnarok Center spawn...I have ravagers spawning there with this code, and it works fine.

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntries_Ragnarok_Center_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Ravager",EntryWeight=0.02,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("CaveWolf_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="CaveWolf_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.1)))

Just adding rock drakes dosen't add the eggs, right?

No, the drakes themselves do not spawn eggs. The nests take levels from nearby drakes and use those levels to spawn an egg, so spawn instances for the nests have to be present for eggs to appear in the world. I assume that's what that mod linked above adds in.

Yes. I linked that. Cause the OP wanted nests.
