Spawn Issues - Center Map
My server is totally in love with the EC mod, it is just amazing. We are having some issues with certain creatures not spawning though. I understand that some creatures are just rare and we have even gone and tweaked the Spawn Rate Multipliers on these dinos but still have not seen them yet. These dino include;

-Omega Megaphiticus
-Alpha Quetz
-Psycho Supreme Warchief

Could there be an issue with Center map and the spawn locations associated with Center Map? I have entered the spawn rate multipliers as such after 2 other tweaks didn't generate any spawning;

DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag=OmegaGorilla,SpawnWeightMultiplier=3.0,OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=true,SpawnLimitPercentage=2.0)


Also, what would be the tag for Psycho in order to increase his spawn rate? I see a spawn code for him, but not his "tag".

Thanks for any and all help with this.

we have the same problem with a vanilla quetz, even tweaked it so high that it should only spawn quetz, but its not spawning at all.

And SpawnLimitPercentage=2.0 doesn't work, you can't go above 1.0 which is 100%, if you want it to up, you need to adjust OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=true to OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=false, and play with the SpawnWeightMultiplier=3.0 part, higher number is more likely to be picked when spawning dino's on a spawn node.

Yeah, i really don't know how or what, so were gonna remove the spawn config completely and see what that does.

My issue sounds pretty much like this. Although we do get the occasional Alpha Griffin.

Yes, only Tek Quetzal spawns, no vanilla or alpha.

i went on a bird to 50/50 and just spawned some random levels vanilla quetz in, and let them fly, those didn't come up in the dino scan either.

Just for details... I'm having my issue on Center Map..

We also haven't had any Prime Shinehorns. I'm wondering if the map has anything to do with it.

It's super annoying because I'm change Alpha Quetz Spawn Multiplier to 10x Spawn limit and increased max allowed on map to 200%... still not one and the server has been up for nearly 1,200 in game days... (approx 60+ days).

The annoying thing for me is the lack of Psycho, he is a prerequiste for obtaining the Supreme Reaper King and Psycho. so his lack of presence is super frustrating. Of course I am able to manually spawn him in, but I try to avoid using admin codes so everyone has a fair chance to get to him first and such. I don't try to have special prevlidges just because I am the admin/server owner.

We are playing center map aswell, and we do have Psycho spawned on the server, haven't seen Prime Shinehorns aswell.
Btw @Darkened, you cannot set the max allowed to 200%, the highest you can set is 1 which is 100%, we have set (Alpha) Quetz to 30x, and it still didn't spawn, now i know it will follow a certain kind of list when spawning, but weve been killing everything we came across and it still didn't spawn.

I increased Psycho and Ordacir to 10x and finally got a Psycho spawn. I used "Psycho" for the dino tag a someone had recommended trying. I will drop the max allowed back down to 100% as the invalid value could cause issues.

We've been running EC on the Center now for a month and are still having problems with the spawns as well. We're not seeing Omega Gorillas, a few tek dinos, and a couple of the chieftans as well. And forget about shinehorns. We've tried spawn weight, Add NPC to region, NPC Replace and we can't get shinehorns or prime shinehorns to spawn at all.

For some of you a good solution might be a mod called simple spawners. There is a spawner in there called a special spawner that allows you to insert the code for mod dinos. This has helped us with some of the spawn issues on the Center.

Does anybody know if there is a complete list of all the dino tags for EC?
