OverrideEngramEntries=(EngramIndex=2,EngramHidden=false,EngramPointsCost=5,EngramLevelRequirement=20,RemoveEngramPreReq=true)
Where EngramIndex corresponds to the index (starting with 0) of the Engram visible within the base game. I'll paste a list of all the current Engrams shortly, and you can also determine the indices by just adding up the positions in the regular game's Engrams View
Level Ups
[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
LevelExperienceRampOverrides=(ExperiencePointsForLevel[0]=13,ExperiencePointsForLevel[1]=20,ExperiencePointsForLevel[2]=30)
LevelExperienceRampOverrides=(ExperiencePointsForLevel[0]=13,ExperiencePointsForLevel[1]=20,ExperiencePointsForLevel[2]=30)
These let you control how many levelups you are allowed and the required and the corresponding XP requirements for each one. The first entry is for players, the second entry is for dinos.
Level Up Engram
[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
OverridePlayerLevelEngramPoints=10
OverridePlayerLevelEngramPoints=15
OverridePlayerLevelEngramPoints=20
This determines how many engram points you get per level. You should use the same number of those as you have corresponding to your max allowed amount of player levels.
