Add Deinonychus to Ragnarok
I am trying to add deinonychus to a Ragnarok map using ASM. What am I doing wrong?
https://pastenow.ru/7W5JA

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntries_Ragnarok_Center_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Deinonychus",EntryWeight=1.000000,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Deinonychus_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Deinonychus_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=1.000000)))

However, I don't use any software. I only go to write the lines within the Game.ini file myself.

This should work (It works with other dinos):
ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntries_Ragnarok_Center",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="DeinoRagCenter",EntryWeight=0.1,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Deinonychus_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Deinonychus_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.05)))

In your code the "_C", in the ContainerClassString section, should be removed I guess.

PS: Some links of the SpawnContainer list and the Creature IDs:

/!\ EDIT /!\

I tried to spawn the Deinos through the game.ini file (as for other dinos) last few days on the Ragnarok map and I encountered a weird trouble:

Raptors were spawning instead of Deinos!

I figured out to solve this problem by using the simple spawner mod (Very useful even if I prefer the randomness given by the game.ini file).

Some things I noticed however. Raptors spawning over the deinos had the custom settings I wanted for the deino (DinoClassNameDamage/Resistance) while the raptors spawning in their normal spawner where just normal.

=> It seems that the game does not take the right model/folder path to spawn the deino and choose the raptor's one instead ?

There is maybe sth special as the deinos are Valguero exclusive which is not a map from the main plot but included as DLC from a mod (Griffins, which are Ragnarok exclusive, are also pretty buggy concerning their animations and Ragnarok is also a map from an initial mod).

Anyway, above you have a solution working for sure but maybe not the best one.

ABOUT NESTS:

Concerning the nests, even if everything was working as it should by tweaking the game.ini file, nope, you would not have had them spawning. But again, you can use the simple spawner nest option to make it work, even if you will have to place the nests spot by yourself on the map I guess (removing the exploration and the surprise to find the nests by yourself).

Or maybe try the Dino Nest mod (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=943290066&searchtext=nest) which seems to work sometimes with dinos that are not in the mod list.

Or as @Jameegi suggested in his comment down below, you can use the Ragnarok Plus mod.

I know about this mod, but ASM can do it

I use "-ForceRespawnDinos" when starting the server

No more thoughts?

Given the fact you used ASM to configure it, it was added to the right file. Your Screenshot does show only one entry on the left side so there isn't another line that is modifying the same spawncontainer. So if you didn't accidentally did what is written in green in your screenshot. Nope sorry out of ideas.
The author of this thread has indicated that this post answers the original topic.

If I add this, could I find fertilized Deinonychus egg in Ragnarok map?

I'm going to guess no on that one.. at best it'll make wild adults spawn on the map but not the eggs.
I could be wrong though.

The only way you can get eggs to spawn from what i'm aware of is if you create nests with a mod called Simple Spawners. I'm currently using Ragnarok Plus & that adds nests automatically.
