Winter Wonderland Mod Removal

With this patch we added a server launch parameter that will be needed when you disable Winter Wonderland to prevent losing event cosmetics/items.

For servers hosted with Nitrado, they will be adding a checkbox soon/ASAP to add the launch parameter specifically for the Winter Wonderland event.

  • Due to the conclusion of the event, the Winter Wonderland Mod will be disabled on Officials. However the removal of the mod poses potential data loss risks to items/skins earned during the event.
  • As an interim solution (before integrating mod elements into the core game), we have added a "-passivemods=[ModID],[ModID]" command line option. This option will disable a mod's functionality, while still loading its data, serving as a temporary measure until a permanent solution is implemented. The passivemod command line should be used in conjunction with "-mods=[ModID],[ModID]", where the passivemod's ID is listed first.
    • Example: -mods=927090,ModID,ModID -passivemods=927090

    • This can be overridden in GameUserSettings with DisableCryopodEnemyCheck=False

Additional Changes

Soft Tame Server Limit - These changes are still disabled by default on all platforms, but here's a look at what's to come.

  • Implemented a new Soft Tame Server Limit, default value set to 5000 dinos.
  • This functionality is currently DISABLED BY DEFAULT on Official and Unofficial servers, but can be enabled with the configurations further down. We’ll be looking to enable this on our Official Network in later January depending on the impact of cryos on our servers.
  • Dinos above the Soft Tame Server Limit will be marked “For Cryo” and display an icon and a timer indicating how soon they need to be cryopodded before they are automatically destroyed.
  • Dinos marked and dinos destroyed by this system will be logged in the tribe log
  • This differs from the standard tame limit, as it still allows new players to join servers and tame creatures above the 5000 limit, whereas previously, they would not have been able to tame or breed creatures at the server cap.
  • Soft Tame Server Limit configurable settings:
    • GameUserSettings.ini under [ServerSettings]
    • DestroyTamesOverTheSoftTameLimit=True - enables destroying tames over the limit, default is false
    • MaxTamedDinos_SoftTameLimit=5000 - set the server-wide soft tame limit
    • MaxTamedDinos_SoftTameLimit_CountdownForDeletionDuration=604800 - set the timer for destroy in seconds

  • When a Cryofridge is placed, they take 5 minutes to "activate"
  • Cryopod can only be released within range of an "activated" and powered Cryofridge (range set to 6500 currently)
  • PVP Only: Cryopod can not be released if there are enemies nearby (range set to 3500 currently)

  • Dino's mating cooldown will now tick down correctly within a cryopod

  • Cryopod configurable settings:
    GameUserSettings.ini under [ServerSettings]
    DisableCryopodEnemyCheck=True - will ignore the enemy player/structure/dino checks
    AllowCryoFridgeOnSaddle=True - will allow Cryofridge to be placed on rafts/saddles
    DisableCryopodFridgeRequirement=True - will disable the Cryofridge requirement for releasing cryopodded dinos

Survival of the Fittest Release

  • Survival of the Fittest mod is now available CrossPlatform! Select the SOTF option at the main menu to start playing!
