HOWTO: Disable alpha "glowy" dinosaurs
The vanilla "glowing" alpha dinosaurs have been replaced in Realism Plus with slightly tougher, but not insanely tough, bull and alpha versions. They do not glow.

If you are seeing glowing alpha dinosaurs you need to:

1) DISABLE THEM

For dedicated servers running ASM, just go down to Dino Customization and uncheck "spawnable" for the alpha carno, raptor and rex.

For all other single player and non-ASM servers,

a) Go to your Ark client or server folder: Steam\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsServer

b) Edit game.ini

c) Add the following lines:

NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="MegaRaptor_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="")
NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="MegaCarno_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="")
NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="MegaRaptor_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="")

To prevent the Griffon from spawning

NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Griffin_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="")


2) DESTROY ALL WILD DINOSAURS

Enter this command as an admin. It will clear all wild dinos including alphas. Probably best to do this when the server has just rebooted because it can lag out the server for a bit... and if a player is carrying a wyvern egg it tends to corrupt the character!

Slight typos in the above NPC replacement section (extra "14" incorrectly at end of Carno line; repeated MegaRaptor instead of MegaRex in one of the lines).

Game.INI changes Should be:

NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="MegaRaptor_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="Dodo_Character_BP_C")
NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="MegaCarno_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="")
NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="MegaRex_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="Dodo_Character_BP_C")

Ah thanks.. don't know where that extra characters came from. Corrected.

Why is the "MegaCarno" classname not changed to a Dodo classname like the other alphas?

Because alpha carnos and dodorex are different dinosaurs?

When I got it right:
First entry: Alpha Raptor got changed to Dodo
Third entry: Alpha Rex got changed to Dodo
Second entry: Alpha Carno got removed but not replaced.
That was the part I was confused about.

Ah right... um.. no particular reason. I should change them all to nothing. I'll update it.
