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.?

AMAZING MOD HAVE HAD NO ISSUES AND STILL WORKS PERFECTLY IN 2025!!

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?

Is OverrideOfficialDifficulty 5 changing somtheing with this mod?

I just got this mod, I understood everything except for these 4 lines which I can't find information on anywhere else, what do they mean?

LowWeight=0.500000
MediumWeight=0.250000
HighWeight=0.100000
TinyWeight=1.000000

What is the line information to set levels for tek and wyverns as they have a different max level than normal dinos in the vanilla settings?

Can I get away with only adding the minimum level and nit setting the max, as shown below?

[CustomLevelDistrib]
MinLevel=1.000000
WantsEqualLevels=False
WantsRagLevels=True
WantsHighLevels=False

I see how to set a custom range of what levels to spawn, but is it possible to make it so that only specific levels spawn? ie: on max difficulty, dinos can only spawn as lvl 50, 100, or 150?

i set both the min and max dificult to spawm at level 150, it works perfectly fine, exept that tek dinos dont spawn anymore, how do i solve this?

yeah, the maximum level at which the dinos appear is 120, any solution??
((I've been playing Scorched Earth)

okay so i used this mod and it works perfectly but ive noticed that my max dino that are spawning are only level 120 and not 150 , what should i do in that situation

I am using this mod on my server, Great thx.
With this mod i was able to set the max Tamable lvl of dinos to 150, and Wild dinos up to whatever i want (right now its 450) This is what my server settings was missing.

Still works has of October 2024

Is there a way to disable certain dino spawns?

If you set MaxDeinonLevel, the Dinopithecus' level will also increase.

ULTIMATE ARK how ?

It works use Chat Gpt and if you have some skills you will get there

it randomly stop working for me

thank you, good mod

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone could give me a one to one call on how to do this properly as I haven't a clue what I'm doing. It would mean the world if someone helped :)

mod doesnt work dont waste your time. ive done every fix people have said works i got the ini files done right for no change in levels

how to i use this

Hi so silly question if I change the override difficulty in my server and put in the mod do I need to reset it to default or is it fine to continue?

when I open the the gameusersettings.ini under customleveldistrib I onlyhave lines for minlevel, maz level. and wnats equal levels. After that it goes straight into a bunch of other options none of which are the ones that I am supposed to change from true or false.

you have just saved my life. I thank you with every fiber of my body

Slim Jim dat iz mah birthday-

Hopefuly it is a good mod.

Great mods! Works perfect for the story maps like Island. Still works as of 5/17/2024

Not working for me, its all in the ini file when i configure it to rag levels the way it is explained in "using the ini configs" it still doesnt work idk dinos spawn at normal lvls

What is MediumWeight, LowWeight, etc? and how to configure it

I activated the mod and my safe got corrupted, I cant start any single player games, even when i uninstall the mod i get a notifaction about something with low levels i couldnt copy the text, Could someone help me?

does anyone have a link to a video walk through ? I am practically disabled when it comes to computers and I don't understand how the files work. I don't want to mess up my game, I just want higher levels on island. This seems to be the only mod that serves my goal however.

Does this work with dedicated servers? Wondering if it's okay to use until genesis part 2.

I cannot figure out how to add Jerboa's to this!! Can someone give me the correct text I need to do this? Other than that, this mod is working wonderfully for me.

doesnt work for me anymore and raglevels and highlevels werent options when i went back onto the .ini, it also keeps resetting everytime i load the map

@PrideSquid8150:
Set MaxDifficulty=False in Game.ini and set OverrideOfficialDifficulty=1.0 in GameUserSettings.ini. Then you can specify your desired min and max levels with this mods settings.
[CustomLevelDistrib]
MinLevel=1.0
MaxLevel=150.0
MaxDrakeLevel=190.0
MaxDeinonLevel=190.0
WantsEqualLevels=True

Might be an odd question but is there a way to make dinos spawn at ALL levels? What I mean is if I have a max difficulty of 150 the default is that levels are in increments of 5 but I want them to be in increments of 1. Meaning on a server with levels ranging from 1-150 I could find a level 55 but also a level 56, 57, 58 or 59.

yeah i tried adding it to my server but it didnt work i just got a pluggin to make it level the same as ragnarok

Pretty sure this mod no longer works, at least on servers.

how open the mod?

i got a new pc so it reset all my ini files and now i cant get it to work, i mean the mod just does nothing not even when i change something like the movement speed i get per level.

I am using the ark ascended version of this mod. I play with my difficulty offset to 10 (max level 300,) However after adding this mod, I do not get any creatures that spawn over 150. It seems to be working in regard to the max being 150, but I should be seeing 270 instead of 135, 280 instead of 140, etc...

It is a nitrado server. Both in the server configuration and the ini the overrideofficialdifficulty is 10, and I was getting creatures up to 300 before adding this mod, but they were too rate (hence why I added the mod...)

I seem to have it working, at least for now. It was acting rather weird at first but it seems to be stable for now..

Although I just went from The Island to Scorched Earth and the Wyverns don't seem to be affected by the mod.. I am on Difficulty 6, so max level should be 228 right..? So I have these settings...
MaxDrakeLevel=38.0
MinDrakeLevel=36.0 but I am not getting any Wyverns or eggs over 180..

Also, the mod added some new lines to the GameUserSetting.ini that I don't understand as there is nothing in the notes about them..

LowWeight=0.500000
MediumWeight=0.250000
HighWeight=0.100000
TinyWeight=1.000000
MinMagmaLevel=1.000000
MaxMagmaLevel=30.000000 What are these vaules and what do I do with them..?

How do you open and use the scanner?

I know you ported this mod over to ASA, is there any chance you will be making it cross-play. I love using this mod and was sad to lose it when we switched over to cross-play. please make it cross-play. I really enjoy this mod and thank you so much for making a mod like this

Has anyone gotten this Mod to work with shockbyte servers? When I add to mod list the custom options don't appear and when I manually add them to ini. the mod doesn't load and the server seems to just delete it from the mod list.

GUYS HOW TO OPEN THE CUSTOM DINO LEVELS PLS

This mod is insane, as a player who wanted to have fun with friends after they shut down officials, this mod is a must! Awesome job on this mod man.
