How to make tek gigas spawn on gen1

[Jbb22207]

anyone know the command line for ini files to make tek gigas spawn?

Are you referring to the Malfunctioned Tek Giganotosaurus from the Genesis map missions, or are you using a mod which adds a tek version of the giga into the game? In the vanilla Ark there is no tek variant of the giga...there's a skin which you can put on your tames to make them look like a tek creature, and an unused asset in the files which the Genesis missions use as a template for their Malfunctioned versions, but neither of those can be spawned as wild creatures. I have no idea if the Malfunctioned one from the missions would work if spawned outside the missions...

EDIT: On further research that unused asset one might work as a wild spawn, but from what I've read it's lacking some functionality (for example it can't be uploaded or cloned) and the game may fail to load it when the server/map save starts, meaning it could just vanish at any point.

it not saving is cause is because it doesn't have a spawn anywhere so the game will remove it cause it shouldn't be there cause to it without a spawn on any map it doesn't exist

Yeah, that's likely the cause. It is only a test asset after all, not really designed to be a fully fledged creature in it's own right.

So yeah, in order to get a tek giga on your map you'll probably need a mod I'm afraid, config arguments will not work.
