I am looking at the DinoeSpawnEntries for the PGM system and I don’t understand why some seem to be doubled up. For example there are
DeepWater
TheDeepwater
Ocean
TheOcean
Does anyone know why these seem to be doubled up? they are not duplicates in that they have different dino data in them, so I don’t know what is going on here.
No, these are the PGM spawners for Procedural maps. My gut feeling is that they misnamed them, renamed them and left the old ones in, but which ones are the old ones is the question. I think I will juts modify one then duplicate it so that both the “Ocean” and “The Ocean” are identical…
Now I have another question, can we use links in the file system to do this or will the deve kit freak out?
Yes, it appear they are using the spawners with the word “The” prepended to the spawner, so they are using TheOcean and not Ocean and so on, I think they should remove the unused ones.
Not all of the PGM ones prefix THE I don’t think. But they do all have _PGM postfixed.
The extras that are not being used shouldn’t be a issue for anyone unless your just confused as to which one is correct to use. You could just load up TheIsland in the editor and look.
They may have just duplicated from the originals and added THE to some of them to avoid the editor giving them a "there already is something named this"error. Then later decided to add _PGM at the end instead.
