DinoClassResistanceMultipliers?
Involving server setting (specifically the resistance multiplier):

DinoClassResistanceMultipliers=(
ClassName="<classname>",
Multiplier=<multiplier>
)
TamedDinoClassResistanceMultipliers=(
ClassName="<classname>",
Multiplier=<multiplier>
)

I need some clarification on this because its confusing as ♥♥♥♥. Does a LOWER resistance value DECREASE or INCREASE the amount of damage a wild dino takes?

I'm seeing people say a lower number will decrease the amount of damage a dino will take, but a direct quote from the wiki says: "Multiplies resistance of specific dinosaurs via classname. Higher values decrease the damage received."

So which is it? Lower numbers for less damage, or higher numbers for less damage?

Well if you go by the standard definition.... a straight up multiplier as apposed to an interval multiplier, when increased....

So yes... a higher number will increase resistance to damage.

If the command was something like
(Made up example only)
Dinofalldamagemultiplier=

Then a higher number would increase the damage taken.

Just curious, do you know from personal experience, or just by interpretation of what it SHOULD be?

The reason why I ask is because, funny enough, that's exactly how damage resistance works for players.

A lower multiplier (say, x0.5) will DECREASE the amount of damage a player will take. A higher does the opposite.

Yup... i totaly got it backwards.

In this case the higher the number... the more damage recieved. Default is 1.0

Ok. I will go with that I suppose, and see what it comes out with. Hopefully I didn't just make my players into damage monsters versus bosses. x3

Lol... well at least it works retro-actively ... so its easily ammended.

Alternatively if you increase/decreaee wild dino damage instead on bosses
