How to properly remove itchyornis/pego?
For whatever reason, for quite a while now ASM doesn't work to remove them. I tried replacing them with dodo's or whatever, I tried just unchecking them as a naturally spawning dino, nothing at all seems to work. I even found a string to put into my GameUserSettings file manually and it doesn't remove them either. I have wiped all wild dinos, restarted the server, even wiped the server and started new with the settings and these things will NOT go away.
I do not like the stealing mechanic so I should have the option to remove it on my own hosted server, yet I can't find a way to do it.

Anyone else running into this issue or know of a fix?

You were editing in the wrong place.

You need to change the Game.ini

[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
NPCReplacements = (FromClassName = "Ichthyornis_Character_BP_C", ToClassName = "")
NPCReplacements = (FromClassName = "Pegomastax_Character_BP_C", ToClassName = "")

Okay so I deleted those lines in the GameUserSettings but when I went to the Game.ini it already contains the lines:
NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Ichthyornis_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="Pela_Character_BP_C")
NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Pegomastax_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="Sheep_Character_BP_C")

yet I still have them in my game after wiping dinos multiple times. Any ideas? Lol

You are missing the spaces around the = signs which could mess up the line.

NPCReplacements = (FromClassName = "Ichthyornis_Character_BP_C", ToClassName = "Ptero_Character_BP_C")
NPCReplacements = (FromClassName = "Pegomastax_Character_BP_C", ToClassName = "Sheep_Character_BP_C")

It should look just like this. used the Dno Spawn config tool from http://www.gamewalkthrough-universe.com/Walkthroughs-Guides/Ark-Survival-Evolved/Game-Server-Customization/Dino-Spawn/default.aspx to get the correct code

When typing code... everything matters. The wrong spaces, punctuation, capitalization, or spelling and oppsie no workie.

needs to go at the very top of the game.ini

before you paste in your critter swap codes ;o) pretty sure thats why it isnt working



edit:
something like this?


[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
NPCReplacements = (FromClassName = "Ichthyornis_Character_BP_C", ToClassName = "")

Well hope that resolves it, if it does I'll be sending ASM devs a message since that is the program that wrote that line. You would think devs who can make the most amazing app that makes managing your own server a piece of cake wouldn't miss such a tiny little simple mishap but hey, what do I know? Lol
