Hi there, My fiancee and I have been trying to figure this out for atleast an hour. We go to the game server configuration through the Survival Servers website and changing difficulty in the .ini code there and It has not been working. We have also tried going to her server files and over riding the difficulty in the .ini file. All we want is to get the wild max dino level to 150 and not 30. Please help us. Thank you. EDIT: FOUND THE ANSWER

Hello, I've been playing with my two friends on our server for about a week now with the Extinction core mod and we've been having a blast on the new map Ragnarok. But we wanted to increase the wild dino max level to 300 instead of the 150 we have now- I came to understand that you can't have a difficulty offset higher than 5 (which gives you level 150 dinos) so you need to type OverrideOfficialDifficulty=10 for it to work under the GameUserSettings.ini Custom Code part of the control panel. I've been trying a lot of different things but I can't seem to make it work, i've used admincheat destroywilddinos which appears to work because there are new dinos after I use it (i've also seen the wild dinos actually disappear in front of my eyes as I used the command), although, the server crashes every time I use this command after a minute or so, i've let the server restart it self and manually restart it on 4-5 different occasions but every time, no matter what I try, wild dinos still only spawn up to level 150. Can someone please help me? I've been looking around the forums and found a TON of threads with this question, I've tried everything they say but I still can't make it work. Thanks in advance!

Hello, just want to say thanks in advance for your help. I'm trying to get the max level of dinos on my server to 90. Here is what I have done so far: -From the control panel, in the "modify server config" window, I left the Difficulty Offset to 0. -Then I went to the very bottom of the "modify server config" window to the "gameusersettings.ini custom code" and entered in OverrideOfficialDifficulty=3.000000 into there. - I saved the configuration and simply reset the server. After doing all this, I did not see any dinos above level 30. I read around the forums that I also have to do a dino wipe but I have no idea how to do that. I looked around the control panel for this but couldn't find it. I'm also extremely worried that a dino wipe would wipe our pre-existing tamed dinos as well. Can someone help me figure this out? Thanks!

I'm trying to adjust either one of two things... Either have the Regular Difficulty not show friendly or hostile units on the map or... have the Veteran Difficulty allow third person view. (my friends will cry if I don't let them have that, personally I like 1st) First I understand that "they" have overhauled or are in the process of overhauling the difficulty system. That being said I can't tell if the info I am reading is outdated. So far what I have tried is to open the Admin.Arma3Profile and adjust the class flags in there. The obvious one that I tried first was the 3rdPersonView tag in the Veteran settings, but that is already set to 1. Yet when I change the difficulty via the SS control panel there is no 3rd person view and the check boxes above the difficulty dropdown in the control panel don't seem to have any effect. Is there a separation somewhere? Does Exile use a different difficulty setup? So then I changed a couple of the Regular class flags, namely Autospot and ExtendedInfoTypes. These were suggested elsewhere and they sounded promising. But they didn't seem to change anything. I can still see friendlies and baddies on the map. Does anyone have an up-to-date explanation of how to configure this? Thanks. ~Vert

Hi, Actually I'm planning two things: Increase difficulty to 5.0 (like official servers) Add a cluster to my SE server with The Island, in order to use obelisks for transfers. So, for first point I've seen that it is necessary to set map as 'custom' in order to use the launch parameter 'OverrideOfficialDificulty=5.0'. But in the other hand, I've read in that post: https://www.survivalservers.com/forum/index.php?/topic/3483-faq-cross-transfer-between-ark-servers-with-our-new-cluster-addon/ that is not possible to have a cluster with a 'custom' map. I'm right? What can I do? Is the only way use a 'Difficult 6' or similar mod? Thank you in advance. Best regards, cerveser

Need help. I have a Tanoa Server. I want to set the difficulty level to Veteran, but I want third person view. I changed the difficulty on the control panel, but it puts you in first person. I looked in the Admin/Users/Admin/Admin.Arma3Profile As you can see the 3rdPersonView=1 that is default still when in game players are in first person. What I wanted in the first place was to get rid of the players markers. You can see each others markers in Regular. class Veteran { class Flags { Armor=0; FriendlyTag=0; EnemyTag=0; MineTag=1; HUD=1; HUDWp=1; HUDWpPerm=1; HUDGroupInfo=1; AutoSpot=0; WeaponCursor=0; ClockIndicator=1; 3rdPersonView=1; UltraAI=0; CameraShake=0; DeathMessages=1; NetStats=1; VonID=1; ExtendetInfoType=0; }; skillFriendly=0.6; skillEnemy=0.6; precisionFriendly=0.28; precisionEnemy=0.28; };
