How do I disable all the dinosaurs but the ones I want?
Is this an option? I want to disable all the dinosaur spawns aside from the Deinosuchus, Archelon and Brachiosaurus. And I don't want the woolly brachio either.
I'm playing singleplayer on the island.

Did you figure it out? If not then I'd be glad to help.

You can disable specific creatures using the NPCReplacement, "NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="",ToClassName="")".

Example of disabling the rex. "NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Rex_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="")"

Example of replacing the rex with a raptor. "NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Rex_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="Raptor_Character_BP_C")"

"_C" must be included, this will only disable wild dino spawns, tames will remain untouched.

Thanks for the reply, where do i put it though? in the game.ini?
so i put this whole line in the config:
"NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Rex_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="")"

That is correct, game.ini, you would replace "Rex_Character_BP" with what ever the creature blueprint is.

No header needed or anything just put it in?
And is that with or without the ''

Apologies for the late response, assuming you have already gotten it but if not, correct, no header is required as it uses the header for [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode], so it would be placed anywhere below that header which is in the game.ini by default, you can copy and paste the line and change nothing but Rex_Character_BP.

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

NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Rex_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="Raptor_Character_BP_C")

You are the MVP, just started checking into how to do this today and stumbled upon this post. Thanks
