How do I replace / disable dinos in ARK?

To open the Game.ini in the web interface:

  1. Click on “My Servers
  2. Go to your “Ark Server Configuration Files
  3. Select “Game.ini“ from the drop-down menu

How to replace dinos

To replace dinos with other dinos:

  1. The tag [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] must always be first
  2. Set the “Replace command
NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="MegaRaptor_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="Dodo_Character_BP_C")

FromClassName is the dino character you want to replace!
ToClassName is the class it should be.

This is what a finished entry should look like:

[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="MegaRaptor_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="Dodo_Character_BP_C")

Note In this example, the spawn position of the MegaRaptor (Alpha) is replaced with the spawn positions of Dodos.

How to disable dinos

To disable dinos:

  1. The tag [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] must always be first
  2. Set the “Replace command
NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="MegaRaptor_Character_BP_C",ToClassName=")

FromClassName is the dino character you want to replace!
ToClassName should be left blank for this dino to be disabled.

This is what a finished entry should look like:

[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="MegaRaptor_Character_BP_C",ToClassName=")

Note In this example, MegaRex (Alpha T-Rex) is completely disabled.
