Custom Dino Levels

Description
New and improved level distribution mod with more options, ini configurable, and works with vanilla AND modded dinos!
Sick of spending hours on end searching for that elusive high level dino? Do you love the Island map, but hate how heavily skewed the dino levels are toward the low end? This mod fixes those issues by altering dino level distributions and gives you the ability to choose from having Ragnarok like levels, equalizing all dino levels, or skewing the dino levels toward the high end instead of the low end. Via .ini settings, you can even tailor the specific level ranges you wish to have spawn. Best of all, this mod works on all maps and works for BOTH vanilla AND modded dinos!

For all the details for how this mod works, check out the Q&A and “How to: Using the ini configs” discussions.

I am just gonna add this here for everyone having an issue with wyverns being treated like normal dinos for the custom MinDrakeLevel and MaxDrakeLevel. If you are only getting 150 and below wyverns, you need to get rid of Classic Flyers. The variant it creates is not supported by this mod and you dont need it anyways if you use krakens which most of us do.

I am on Fjordur and getting 120-150 lvl lightning wyverns in the crag, and with these settings the minimum should be 175..
I have
DifficultyOffset=1.00
OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5.000000

[CustomLevelDistrib]
MinLevel=22.000
MaxLevel=30.000
WantsEqualLevels=True
WantsRagLevels=False
WantsHighLevels=False
MinDrakeLevel=35.0
MaxDrakeLevel=45.0
PreventTitan=True
PreventBee=True
MinDeinonLevel=35.000000
MaxDeinonLevel=45.000000


and in Game.ini
MaxDifficulty=False

I have used DestroyWildDinos several times, tried flipping some booleans back and forth and many different number combos and my wyverns are still capped at 150 and spawning in basically at the same levels as any other dino in the game. please.. What am I doing wrong.?

Deleted previous comment because I fixed the issue, but now I can't play more than 30 seconds before the game crashes, which has never been an issue before

Hello, I just installed this mod on my single player and with Dino count set to 1.0 and the mod being default (Equalize, all ranges) I am seeing a lot more dinos and like 5 alphas in one area. Is this normal?

When I downloaded this mod to a server, it actually gave the mod folders the wrong name/ID, so they weren't working. This was in ShooterGame\Content\Mods, and instead of showing as 2182894352, the ID was -211....... after renaming the folder to 2182894352 and the other file to 2182894352.mod, it began acting normally

also where it says ARK > ShooterGame > Saved > Config > Windows to find that file. When you open that file, locate the section called [CustomLevelDistrib]. when i open the GameUserSettings file it does not show the [CustomLevelDistrib] anywhere so even if i wanted to change do i just need to copy/paste any of the setups in there?

guys maube a stupid question but the mod says in the description that if u dont do anything when it comes to the ini files the mod will be default settings,. so it will be the same as the setup for using equalized levels,. where it says u dont have to do anything cause its the default mod setting,. but everytime i find a server with this mod even when i pick 1 of the 3 easy starting places i only see high level dinos like 150+ or even 200 when im just lvl 1 is that normal?
