Modifying tek dino loot drops

[Sean]

So, seeing as (instead of giving us the Brac, Styrac and Stygi) we're getting those wild tek dinos, I figure I might as well make them something interesting for my server. What I want to do is give them special drops, namely metal, oil, element and element shards. I also want to pump up the levels a bit, so they're more like mini-bosses.
Anyone know how to do this? Thanks :)

It's the same code as beacon overrides.

I suggest the 3rd party beacon app. Gives you a graphical user interface to set everything up. Nice discord if you have questions. A file sharing system so you don't have to start from scratch.

Well, I don't think you can pump up their levels, but you can increase their resistance and damage via the .ini files. I know there's a way to modify dino's loot drops, but I'm not sure about modifying specific dino's loot drops.

Yeah, I looked up how to change loot drops, but it's pretty confusing. The main problem I'm running into is I don't know what the tek dinos are known as in the game files.
Happen to have a link handy for this 3rd party beacon app? If not that's cool, thanks anyway :)

The rex was just Bionicrex_character_bp_c
I'll assume the stego is Bionicstego_character_bp_c

Thanks guys :)

Once I figure it out, I'll stick the lines of code I come out with here, in case anyone else wants those silly robots to be useful in some capacity haha

It seems that program is for modifying loot box drops only, not wild dinosaurs. Oh well.

As far as the game is concerned, loot from dinos and loot from drops work the same way.

It can modify dinos too.

It might take a bit of figuring out, because all the loot source options are drops, bosses and relics. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong menu somehow

I suggest sorting the examples by most downloaded and get the top few. There is at least one with the alphas modified, so you could see an example.

From the website, you mean?

Within the beacon program. Browse through the menus.

I think I'm getting somewhere. If only this was less convoluted lol
