Configuration and Classes
INI Settings
Values provided below are the defaults.
;; ALL THESE SETTINGS GO INTO GAMEUSERSETTINGS.INI. [CrossGen1] ; Tries to prevent overspawning by forcing some volumes to count Magmasaurs and Astrocetuses. AllowLimitInterference=true ; Fixes spawning of custom Raptors, Megalodons, Rexes, Trikes and Mosas. AllowSwapInterference=true ; Tries to fix severe underspawning of volcanic dinos in the Emberfall region of Crystal Isles. Does not affect other maps. CIEmberfallChanceShenanigans=true ; Enables the mod to set up nest spots if map is supported. MagmasaurNests=true ; Controls whether tweaked logic for nest/egg spawning is used. If false, will use modded logic. NativeCherufeNestSpawnLogic=false ; Defines how many eggs have to be nearby to prevent spawning new. Zero is treated as 3, and values below zero disable the check. MaxMagmasaurEggsNearby=3 ; Experimental: Enables custom spawners on The Island, Ragnarok (Magmasaurs) and Crystal Isles (Megachelons). EnableCustomSpawners=false ; Makes Genesis engrams unlockable on any map UnlockEngramGroup=true ; Allows the mod to unlock Genesis tekgrams to every player on spawn. You may need to respawn if on an existing save. UnlockTekgrams=true ; Patches Genesis tekgrams at runtime: marking them as normal and unlockable from the engram panel. ManualUnlockTekgrams=false ; Following setting enables these cheats (not guaranteed to work): ; - scriptcommand CGCountCherufeNests: displays number of Magmasaur nests nearby and prints their locations ; - scriptcommand CGForceCherufeTrigger: forces nearby Magmasaurs to spawn eggs/nests ; - scriptcommand CGPlayerCoords: displays player coordinates as distance from world origin in centimeters. ; This may or may not work on dedicated servers. EnableDebugCommands=true ; Legacy: Turns CG-Astrocetus back into vanilla Astrocetus when tamed. This still bears a risk of breaking the creature. ; Note: CG-Astrocetus spawned instead of vanilla before 22/07/2020. They no longer do so. NativizeSpaceWhales=true

Class Names
Dinos:
  • Wild Magmasaur: Cherufe_Character_BP_NestFix_C
  • Astrocetus tamed from a spawn from before 22/07/2020: SpaceWhale_Character_BP_ReplFix_C
  • Other dinos are entirely vanilla. Check the commands on the official wiki[ark.wiki.gg].

Could we get the creature spawn codes please?
Alex  [developer] Mar 22, 2020 @ 1:54am 
@deblake60 The species are completely vanilla - you can get the spawning cheats on the wiki.

Ok. Thank you for that Alex! Awesome mod! :)

Just to clarify "disables magmasaurs nests" if that setting is set to 'false' or do I set it to 'true' if I DONT want nests? maybe to make it more clear by itself or for peeps that generally dont keep the ;notes in their ini's it would be worth a change to "AllowCustomMagmasaurNests=" but just a suggestion with low prio, thanks for the work and config options, those are always great to make it adjustable for different kind of server setups and really ease the work for admins! :)

@eTch Sorry! I don't know why I phrased it like that, it's obviously wrong. Yes - it's an option to /enable/ the nests, not disable them. I may have been thinking about the default value at the time.
D2Legend Apr 29, 2020 @ 12:12pm 
so are nest turned on by default or do i need to add this to my ini to get nest??
Alex  [developer] Apr 29, 2020 @ 1:19pm 
Values that are given in the post are default - they are enabled by default.
D2Legend Apr 29, 2020 @ 1:33pm 
awesome tyvm for clearing that up, just needed to know if i needed to take server back down at add lines. really excited about this.
Hunter Apr 29, 2020 @ 3:10pm 
@alex do I need to add the MagmasaurNests setting so that the nests start to appear on the ragnarok map?
D2Legend Apr 29, 2020 @ 3:24pm 
dumb question but i have to ask cause you have other maps listed as spawning the nest, but will the nest spawn on extinction or and unofficial maps??
Alex  [developer] Apr 30, 2020 @ 12:12am 
@Hunter Nests are enabled by default.
@D2Legend So far only Valguero (one region out of 2), Ragnarok and Aberration (one region out of 4) are supported. Custom maps are unlikely to get support.
D2Legend Apr 30, 2020 @ 1:38am 
ty for answer. just my luck every map that i don't have in my cluster. lol

Sorry but exactly which .ini file does this belong in? Its been a long time since I played modded Ark and I'm not sure where I should be editing these settings.
