Compensation for Gen2 buffs for timers #1262

Open pappawolfie opened 2 years ago

pappawolfie commented 2 years ago

With the gen2 buffs for mating intervals, raising etc is there a way to compensate for that or is it written to file when a dino is exported? havent checked to see if its accurate as far as times figured id ask before i dive too deep into the timers. if it doesnt adjust for gen2 buffs is there a way to add a feature that you can enable/disable the gen2 buffs in the app that pertain to breeding/taming etc. Thanks pappa

Hi, currently there's no support these buffs. Do you have any resource where the exact behaviour of these buffs are described? Are these buffs active for all creatures or only some selected? And are the buffs active for only a specific time or for a whole raising duration?

@cadon https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Missions_(Genesis:_Part_2)#World_Effects

In short, these are the buffs awarded for mission completions on Genesis 2. Higher difficulty tiers result in longer buff duration, but effect is the same. There's e.g. a buff affecting egg incubation speed awarded for completing Bulbdog Fetch.

Buffs modify the server settings temporarily, and there's two modes depending on server config (bool bEnableWorldBuffScaling + float WorldBuffScalingEfficacy): additive (default) and multiplicative. Global. Creatures can't opt out. Represented by string IDs.

Regarding data, there's the wiki obviously, and I believe coldino has been working on an exporter in Purlovia but I'm not too sure.
