I had all dinos remapped using NPC remap in a subclassed primalgamedata. Worked great in 189.22, updated to 190, recooked mod with 190 binaries, modded dinos no longer exist, do not spawn, and can not be spawned with cheat summon like previously. Even tried pulling a new dino_character_bp and setting it up with the new bps and it didn’t work either.
The other modders I work with had all been using spawn entries to mod their dinos into the game, did remap NPC break?
Did you remake your PrimalGameData_Custom? Haven’t tested this myself yet (I don’t use any remapped dino’s), so I’m not entirely sure what could be causing this.
One more thing, do you have the NPC spawners setup to spawn these dino’s in?
I didn’t use spawners because by the time I started modding they had introduce NPC remap. I subclassed primalgamedata so I would expect it to update on its own, but I am a modding newb so I could be misunderstanding subclassing.
Well, to be completely honest I’m not entirely familiar with remapping NPC’s so I’m not of much help on this one currently :/. I’d take a look right now and try to help dissect this, but I’m having some problems of my own atm with my mod as well
From my troubleshooting with my own mod, I just discovered the workshop is NOT intelligently updating current existing files from the looks of things with mods. I had updated Canna-Ark and it was showing old past version features/bugs.
This was after 3 hours of troubleshooting why my mod updates we’re not showing up in Local Play, but did in PIE.
Here’s my findings with Canna-Ark (this is an example that pertains to my mod specifically), maybe this will help you;
“Steamworkshop is being buggy with updating certain files. If you have problems with certain engrams not showing up from Canna-Ark, or missing features you are going to have to manually DELETE your mod folder (FROM ARK!!! NOT THE DEV KIT!!!) with this ID “481755557”, and then unsubscribe and re-subscribe to get the new changes. I don’t know why it’s doing this or being so finicky, but that was the fix for me.”
Only after deleting the mod folder & the mod file. And then Unsubbing and resubbing, did it work.
Not sure if this is the problem in your case, but I highly suggest trying this as its an easy attempted resolution with nothing to lose.
I did these steps and tried deleting the temp data for the mod as well in another location. If that doesn’t work let me know and I’ll track down the other steps I did for you.
Looks like this may be the issue, tho those steps didn’t help. I just noticed the version number that I increment is still back on the pre-190 version. It isn’t downloading the 190 mod.
Yup. Then its the same issue at play here. I’m going to make a new stickied thread about this I think at this point once we get it resolved for you as well, because at the rate we are going it’s gonna impact a lot of modders. Most of em would probably spend 3+ hours troubleshooting like I did only to realize that it wasn’t the mod at play. Some of em might even break their mods through desperate troubleshooting
Update: Here’s where I deleted the mod data in the additional location.
If I upload my existing mod as a completely new mod, it shows up as a map (right below ARK TheIsland) rather than a mod (in the little mod/active mod boxes) and doesn’t work at all. What on earth…
