Pugnacia Dinos *UPDATED*

Unable to Change/Disable "OverrideOfficialDifficulty" setting
Exactly what the title says. For some reason that particular line is stuck at 9.0. I have changed it 3 times now to 5.0 and clicked on "save/exit" on the server settings for the server that I have it running on. I have also DELETED the line entirely and clicked "save/exit." Each time I restart the server or even turn the server back "ON," the "OverrideOfficialDifficulty" is once again set to 9.0. Its spawning dinos at level 1,511 max and only allows a maximum level increase of 73 (back to Vanilla levels). The experience bar is "freezing" at 73 levels. Its not capped there because the level is showing like 3.5 million/ 4.1 million max experience, but the bar isn't filling at all.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have no idea why it would be doing that, mine defaults at the normal overrides, I don't have anything in Pugancia that would stick it at 9, the most I recommend is 7.143, which is around 1200 as a max running around, but default 840 is where I am most comfortable with it. Id check with your server provider, they might have it set on read only or something, which would be a bit odd, but who knows, I can't think of anything else it could be.

Thank you for the response!

I thought the same thing honestly about it being read only, but the other settings change/save like they should. I noticed that after I changed the override that the line would then completely disappear from the settings list (text) until I would restart the server. The whole idea with wanting to change the difficulty was that the levels gained from experience post tame were stopping at 73 levels. The experience bar wouldn't advance any further once the dino had gained those 73 levels. We thought that lowering the wild dino levels would decrease the stat point gain after tame. Sitting at 254 once the dino would finish taming (if tamed at max wild level). I know I'm asking a lot of questions, I just really like the mod and would like for everyone to be able to enjoy it like I do, and experience it to it's full potential.

Ok, so after I read your post again and started searching through the server settings, I found another setting that I hadn't seen initially which allowed me to change the Override to 5 like it was recommended. Everything on the dino level is good now. Just to figure out why we are stuck at 73 post tame levels.

@Mistrfister I read in another post that there are 300 post tame levels in Pugnacia, correct?

post tame level u need to adjust 1 by 1, every single extra level in "LevelExperienceRampOverrides"

the first line for this will adress the player levels, the next line will adress the post tame dino level. to be set in game.ini
here an example of how it have to look like, but this for each u need make a single entry until the desired level or post tame. there also a website to help u generate the code, putting how much levels u want total, then copy paste into ur game.ini
http://nipiro.de/ark_levelup_318.php

LevelExperienceRampOverrides=(ExperiencePointsForLevel[0]=1,ExperiencePointsForLevel[1]=1,ExperiencePointsForLevel[2]=3,ExperiencePointsForLevel[3]=4,ExperiencePointsForLevel[4]=7,ExperiencePointsForLevel[5]=11,ExperiencePointsForLevel[6]=17,ExperiencePointsForLevel[7]=24,ExperiencePointsForLevel[8]=32,ExperiencePointsForLevel[9]=43(
LevelExperienceRampOverrides=(ExperiencePointsForLevel[0]=1,ExperiencePointsForLevel[1]=1,ExperiencePointsForLevel[2]=3,ExperiencePointsForLevel[3]=4,ExperiencePointsForLevel[4]=7,ExperiencePointsForLevel[5]=11,ExperiencePointsForLevel[6]=17,ExperiencePointsForLevel[7]=24,ExperiencePointsForLevel[8]=32,ExperiencePointsForLevel[9]=43)
