Need some help with Dino "Tag" names for "Spawn Weights"
I am wondering if you guys can help me. As not many have been able to up till this point.

How do I find the Dino Tag name for "Mod Dinos" to adjust their 'Spawn Weight'?

Not just with your mod, but any mod that adds dinos. For example, some like Annunaki Genesis made all their Dino 'Tag Names' available and we were able to make change to spawns without bugging them for the spawn Tag Name....such as.....

This is just an EXAMPLE DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag=ChampionBronto,SpawnWeightMultiplier=3.0,OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=true,SpawnLimitPercentage=1.5) DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag=MegaAnky,SpawnWeightMultiplier=3.0,OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=true,SpawnLimitPercentage=1.5) DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag=MegaArgent,SpawnWeightMultiplier=3.0,OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=true,SpawnLimitPercentage=1.5) DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag=MegaDilo,SpawnWeightMultiplier=3.0,OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=true,SpawnLimitPercentage=1.5) DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag=MegaDirewolf,SpawnWeightMultiplier=3.0,OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=true,SpawnLimitPercentage=1.5) DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag=MegaMammoth,SpawnWeightMultiplier=3.0,OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=true,SpawnLimitPercentage=1.5) DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag=MegaSabertooth,SpawnWeightMultiplier=3.0,OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=true,SpawnLimitPercentage=1.5) DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag=EliteDimorph,SpawnWeightMultiplier=10.0,OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=true,SpawnLimitPercentage=0.75) DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag=EliteOvi,SpawnWeightMultiplier=3.0,OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=true,SpawnLimitPercentage=1.5)

But having the tag name (EliteOvi, EliteDimorph, MegaMammoth, MegaDilo) made things much easier on all of use and mroe streamlined for us who run servers.

So is there any pointers of files I can look in inside the mod? Anything? Or am I stuck with bugging the Mod creators for their spawn weight tag names? As of this moment I have removed ALL Wyverns from my server (there is just way too many of them on the Island.) and I am close to removing ALL Gigas as they are everywhere as well, Lightning, Poison, Fise, Alpha. But if I had the Tag Name for Each Dino I could lower their specific spawn weights and not have to be forced to remove them completely.

Thanks in advance if anyone can help me with this.

Wow now that looks cool. If I am reading it correctly, it can do what I do by hand now. Swapping creatures so I can use multiple core creature mods but not have to use 5 different types of the same creature (one from each mod, like 5 different versions of a poision/torpor Argentavis). Instead swap out 4 of them for the one I like the most, etc.

And from what I can tell it uses my ARK content folder, so it wont have to be updated with each new mod, it will pick them up automatically. What a great idea. Thanks for looking out!

Does not seem to be working at the moment :( I have over 150 mods installed, when I update mod list it shows six mods. LOL

Well, it only loads mods that adds creatures. But on the "manager mod" options should be listed all your mods.

Contact me on discord if you need support. Good luck !
