Saddle armor
If I understand correctly you removed the good original saddle armor because it was putting an extra one in the dino upon unballing it and it would not go away. What I do not understand is why was that a problem? It was only taking up one slot of 300 and was not usable in anyway. You could not remove it and put it on another shadowmane or something like that. On our servers the shadowmanes become so weak without that additional armor to us it just breaks them. It was already a problem that we could never get a better saddle for them EVER but now.... We are sad... We breed... a LOT and since our cluster has been going for a long time we have a lot of really good saddle BPs available to us in the cluster. So the shadowmane being limited to 124 armor was kinda meh to begin with. But now being limited to 80.... or worse if they nerf it again... egads! the amount of damage they take is CRAZY! They seem like they are super squishy compared to some dinos so they really need to have better armor. We were hoping to breed them up for various challenges like say boss fights etc but without good armor what would be the point. Please reconsider that change you made. Especially since that armor nerf was the very thing that drove us to look for and find your mod to begin with.

agreed. this mod is effectively useless if it doesn't bump their armour back to 128. I don't care about any of the other modifications this mod makes. all i want is the armour

If you guys are concerned about their armor, just add this to your server game.ini and set the multiplier to whatever you want. Since Shinigati said the creatures weren't remapped, the below settings should work. The higher the number, the more damage they do or less damage they receive accordingly.

DinoClassDamageMultipliers=(ClassName="LionfishLion_Character_BP_C",Multiplier=X)
DinoClassResistanceMultipliers=(ClassName="LionfishLion_Character_BP_C",Multiplier=X)

But why did he take it away to begin with? I am confused? Was it causing a problem? I mean yes it used one slot but that's not a big deal. If you used Dino Storage V2 and ball up a Tek stryder you get one lost lost to a similar dupe issue. But it's just one slot out of 300. Seems like the benefits outweigh the loss of one slot to me. I am really hoping that the dev can revert it myself.

I took it away because there was a major issue with the armor, there is no clean way of bumping it back up to 124 and caused many issues with the armor getting duplicated into the shadowmanes inventory with no way to remove it, the game is actively always checking that the shadowmane has the vanilla armor equipped and if not it will replace it and put the modded one into the inventory, on my server it was pretty bad i had over 15 slots being wasted because of this issue.

Ok that makes sense. Thank you for taking the time to explain that. I never had more than one slot being used so it wasn't a problem for me. That might not bode well for your mod though as everyone I have talked to seems to care about the armor the most. It wouldn't be so bad if they had designed them to get better armor as they level up with breeding but that's Wild Card not you.

Yep i'm sorry about that but i spent hours trying to find a solution but there just wasn't any solution that could fix it properly, even if you see only one slot used up every time a client or server restarts it will continue to happen until you upload or cryo.
