A way to override alpha spawns would be nice, unless I've overlooked something.

Hello everyone.
I've gotten some questions about overriding creature spawns on islands, so we've added a guide to the devkit site (Though the devkit is not explicitly required)


You can find it here:

On our private server, our crew and tames despawn as soon as we leave our ship, and sometimes when we board. It seems intermittent, other players have never seen the issue, but on our private server all players suffer it. I was thinking of coding something up to safeguard tames and crew for the transition, any hints on where I could detect that a tame or crew is about to be despawned? Maybe I could interrupt the process? Perhaps it has something to do with the pawn falling through the world and hitting KillZ.

 

For reference, here are videos of the issue:

It seems this problem only exists with Linux servers. Windows servers do not have this problem.

Greatly appreciate the Guide, however no matter how I work it I am still unable to get Island Spawn Overrides to take effect and work.

I am attempting to override the 02_Beaches spawn on an island to only spawn Elephants (as a test). I am wanting to put elephants on a temperate island.  I have checked the Island and it is using this spawn, and have the following setup in the servergrid.json for the island instance.

Quote

"spawnerOverrideTemplates": [   

{
      "Name": "SpawnerElephant",
      "NPCSpawnEntries": "((AnEntryName=\"Elephant\",NPCsToSpawn=(BlueprintGeneratedClass'/Game/Atlas/Creatures/Elephant/Elephant_Character_BP.Elephant_Character_BP_C'),NPCsSpawnOffsets=((X=0.000000,Y=0.000000,Z=0.000000)),NPCsToSpawnPercentageChance=(1.000000),EntryWeight=1.000000))",
      "NPCSpawnLimits": "((NPCClass=BlueprintGeneratedClass'/Game/Atlas/Creatures/Elephant/Elephant_Character_BP.Elephant_Character_BP_C',MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=1.000000))",
      "MaxDesiredNumEnemiesMultiplier": 1.2
    }

]

In the 'islandInstances' section I have (for the relevant island)

Quote

 

spawnerOverrides": {

            "Blueprint'/Game/Atlas/AtlasCoreBP/SpawnEntries/02_NW_Temperate/CreatureSpawnEntries_02_Beaches.CreatureSpawnEntries_02_Beaches'": "SpawnerElephant"
 }

 

The blueprint listed above is just the last iteration I have tried - and I suspect it is this that is causing it to not work - however the guide you wrote is a little unclear on this (one image - for the island itself, shows '_BP' .. the other - for island instance as above,  doesnt.

Some direction, feedback and/or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
