SHINY DINOS | ASA Mod Spotlight Series | One of the best Ark Mods! Guide & Settings

in today's video we give you a quick Spotlight and guide on one of ark's best mods shiny dinos welcome back to the channel I'm tvf gaming here on the channel we do Survival Let's Plays mod spotlights and some occasional guides on some of our favorite mods before we get started today I want to say thank you to everyone subscribed over the last several weeks we really appreciate it already getting closer to our next subscription goal thank you so much huge shout out to the patrons and YouTube members you guys make this channel possible if there's any mods that you guys want to see in the future make sure you put them down in the comments down below I do write down all the suggestions and I try to get to them as soon as I can within a mod spotl video either a top five or a solo one or even a guide like this I'm excited today to check out this mod because this is one of those mods that I've used on every single server that I've set up over the last several years for Arc survival evolved and Arc survival ascended I think it's one of the best mods out there because it just works really well it's super easy to do it's really easy to configure now on this new ASA version it is crossplatform so that's amazing and it works really well across either a lightly modded server or a super modded server it works with all different modded dinos it's just a really cool mod and this is shiny dinos by the mod developer Nev carel hopefully I'm not pronouncing that too bad I'm sorry if I am let's get into today's Spotlight in today's video we're going to check out the admin stuff we're going to check out the different types of dinos and we're going to talk a little bit about how the mod works just kind of briefly go through each one of these if you guys have more questions put them in the comments down below I'll do my best to answer them as I can and if I can't then definitely go to the actual guide for this they have an amazing guide that they've actually listed out everything that each one of the different variations does and they have a list of all of the settings for it as well what's nice is this is actually one of those mods that you can do in game so people on Console you can actually adjust the settings for this in game on single player and then if you're on a server you got to be an admin on that server to be able to adjust it but that's basically how it works let's get into it today so there's a lot of stuff there's no way that I can cover absolutely everything in this mod because there just lots and lots of cool stuff the big thing is basically shiny dinos goes around it scans the map and whatever's already on the map it applies a shiny dyo effect to those dinos so it could do anything from changing their colors like these guys over here or even giv them really cool effects like that even some special powers and abilities which is really cool I'm going to put the words up on screen just in case I mess any of these up this is basically all of the tiers I got this from their guide make sure you go check out their cursed Forge page if you want to read all the description with it I definitely urge you to go check it out because they did a good job of leaving a full description there as well as a couple funny jokes in it pretty well done they just do they always do a great job with this mod so this is awesome so the first one is enraged that's basically Alphas they are very aggressive pretty much any Dyno can become enraged if they're enraged they are not table and they're going going to chase you down they're going to be super aggressive the Shinobi is super sneaky so dinos aren't going to notice you as much fathomless get a huge weight reduction anything in there inventory is reduced by 80% endurant can pretty much Sprint non-stop they can they can Sprint without losing any stamina burning dinos are covered in flames and they are immune to damage from fire and lava frozen dinos are made of ice they actually have a little bit of a damage reduction although they're way way more susceptible to fire spectral dinos are see-through you can actually walk through them and they they take no fall damage Phil filthy dinos actually give you a little bit of a poop effect when you ride them but if you go jump them in some water that washes off and they're actually really cool tames the holographic dinos give you the ability to detect other dinos around you gives you that kind of like that owl x-ray weird Vision kind of like you get with some of the spy glasses lunar dinos defy gravity so they can they can jump or bounce you have some shiny tiny dinos you've got bolstering hydrating invigorating obscured piris revitalizing and Serene I'll leave the description up there so you can read each one of those but each one gets a really cool effect you also have more more variants which is the Hardy stalwart inspired satiate Hefty and fierce uh so like we got to wait a weight one yesterday which was the Hefty one could carry a ton of items all right so really quick just with the help of the spy glass we're using the awesome spy glass if you guys want to know about anything in our hot bar on the far left we've got the Omega teleporter second one is Omega Dino storage third one is the awesome spy glass so awesome spy glass is what's going to give us all the info on these guys I know you guys always ask about that but we're just going to take a quick look at these guys I got all these spawned in and tamed them up real quick just so we can kind of look at what they look like there are settings to decide whether or not you want the little sparkles to happen when you tame them cuz otherwise those Sparkles do Disappear by default after we go look at these we're going to go check out the actual admin settings together it's a super quick thing but there you go you got the burning Rex you got a holographic Rex the sunset Rex midnight Rex those are just color variations we've got the Shinobi spectral Rex so it's both spectral and Shinobi which is crazy they can actually get two effects like that a holographic Equis we've got a Caribbean carbo that's like the most fitting one ever Caribbean carbo we've got a rainbow parasaur we've got a Luna carbo a inspired saffron pelagornis a amethyst Triceratops storm parasaur a jungle Bronto look at the colors on that guy and then we've got a stalwart polar trike and a jungle parasaur we also because I wanted to make sure that we got one from the another mod let me bring this guy in real quick there you go we wanted to bring in the guy that was from Primal chaos just to show you this does work with modded dinos this is a alpha trike from the Primal chaos mod and it's also got a shiny to in it you can see that it's a cleansed spice Alpha trike so when we tamed this guy it was actually a filthy so it had like the poop effect all over it and whenever you rode it you would get that poop effect which does knock you out and take away health and you just have to submerge them all the way in water and then that'll disappear and now we have a cleansed spice alpat trike so there you go that's shows you that the modded ones work just fine with this it'll show the little shiny thing on there I haven't really messed with these too much but there are couple other items in the mod these are called the shiny prods you go around with wild dinos you poke them with the shiny prod and then you kill the Dino and you're supposed to get shiny Essence I haven't really tested it out much not something I've done in my playthroughs yet but I will definitely test it out when I get a chance same thing with the Harpoon Gun same thing it's supposed to basically apply the some kind of like little buff to the guy after you do that and then you have a certain amount of time to kill them and you get the essence I might not be explaining it perfectly but hopefully I at least gave it a decent description of it but that's the dinos that's kind of what they look like basically if you want to find these dinos in the world there's a shiny Dino tracker you open that up click the button and it's going to show you if any shinies are on there I just destroyed all dinos there's nothing out there right now and it's going to show you now keep in mind this doesn't work great on single player if you're playing on Console uh you're going to have a little bit of an issue because the only shiny dinos that are going to occur are going to be in your area there go we just got a notification that shiny showed up so there you go there's a shiny storm trudon right across the beach from us so we could go tame up that storm TR trudon over there if we wanted he's gonna be over there somewhere probably could see him somewhere over there we could go to the grid if we want to now I I'll show you the admin stuff in just a second but like I said keep in mind that if you're playing on single player on console and or if you're playing on PC and you haven't done the prevent hibernation commands then you're not going to see anything outside of your area so not very many things are going to spawn in right away but you can kind of fix that with some of the admin stuff let's move into the admin stuff for this it's really cool so as long as you're either on single player or you're an admin on the server all you have to do is right click your little thing here and it's going to bring up the shiny admin settings this can all be done in your inii for Server managers if you just want to do this in your ini and you don't want to log on the the server to do this you can definitely do it that way I prefer doing it this way because it actually explains everything and gives you some really easy things to look at inside of here there's also a couple other admin commands you can use for it but that can be done inside here too so we're going to check it all out inside of here I'll try to explain briefly some of the settings in here but basically the shiny admin settings we've got General spawning notification tracker and Advance let's check out the general first show sparkles on tames I think by default that is off uh maybe not but that's basically once you tame them do you still want that sparkle to show whether or not you can carry the shiny dinos so if you have a d that can pick up the other dinos can you carry it yes or no shiny dinos untameable you can make it to where none of the shinies are table number of raw Essence that you get from enraged kills oh that's right you get the essence from the rage kills that's what that's the enraged guys uh unlock Tech ingrams on kill this decides if you're going to get Tech ingrams when you kill a shiny dyo this is just a nice way for people to unlock Tech that may not be able to get to the boss fights really good in modded playthroughs Tech ingrams to unlock you can tell it one or more and then Tech ingrams to unlock for enraged so killing an enraged which is the alpha gives you two and you can you can change that obviously you can make make it more or less depending on what you want what's really cool is this one actually gives you the ability to spawn things on your own if you wanted to and it's going to be randomly across the map if you're in single player it's going to be in the area that you're in we're going to go spawn shiny and you can decide what kind you want so you can cruise down here like if we want to do this and rage we could click that and we could click spawn shiny now somewhere on the map there is going to be probably hopefully not too close to us there's going to be a shiny enraged dyo that will spawn in there we go we got a shiny enraged Megalodon that just come in off of that so that that's what we had there but basically yeah it's sometimes it takes a couple clicks to get it to work but usually it's pretty seamless if you just do random it definitely has a little bit better random spawn shiny we're going to get there you go a shiny and rage trike so we actually did get a trike to spawn in somewhere if we can find him is that him right there there you go an enrage strike so if you get anywhere close to this guy he's going to get super aggressive so like I said in here you can choose some of these other ones I usually just do a few random ones on the server to help out people playing on the server but basically click that a few times you're going to see a bunch of them click up there it will give you the notification you can turn that notification off if you don't want to see it whenever every time one of these spawns in for a server like mine we run with anywhere from 10 to 100 shinies depending on how we set it up and we definitely don't want a message every single time one gets killed or one spawns in on the map so we definitely don't do that let's go ahead and check out the actual spawning stuff here so let's click you can also do a destroy all wild shiny dinos instead of just all dinos you do just the wild shinies we go over to the spawning one this is where you really change how many you're going to spawn currently on the map if you look down at the bottom it says with the selected spawn settings you can expect an average to 50 average of 50 48 to 50 wild shiny dinos to be on the same time the three main settings you want to change for that are are the spawn times the dyo lifetime and the spawn settings max number of dinos so those are the main ones if we change this one all the way down to like 10 then that's obviously going to change that or down to 20 changes that to 20 if you want if you change this one too much if the spawn interval is very very long it's going to make it to where there's less of them on there cuz by the time a new one spawns in the old one will die off so just depending on how you do that one one but we can go like this we can make it like that we can make it really short there you go 20 and then pretty much whatever you set this at is how many you're going to have on the map up to 100 now keep in mind if you do a really high number it could cause a little bit of lag on the server because it is doing a scan of the map and then spawning in a shiny Dyno but to be honest with you guys shiny dinos is pretty low impact on your server it's not a super huge mod so you don't have to worry about it really causing a lot of problems and it just works really well we've we've never really had problems with shiny dinos other than people wanting way more shiny dinos all right uh the other ones you can do minimum and maximum level at default they usually spawn in slightly higher than what your normal wild level is so if your wild Max wild dyo is 150 shiny dinos come in at 150 to 180 we typically go a little bit higher so if we have level 150 dinos we go 150 to 200 for shinies that way you can find something really good out in the wild gives a little more incentive to go out there and tame those shinies other than just the cool colors or effects over here like I said this is the max number of shiny dinos we got it at 100 you can change it to where it doesn't do flying shiney dinos that way you don't have to worry about a bunch of Flyers out there if you want just land dinos same with Aquatics we usually turn Aquatics off because most of us don't like going into the water that much no unridable shiny dinos if they're not ridable they won't spawn no duplicate shiny dinos I usually turn that off cuz who cares if you have a couple different trikes out there but uh sometimes if you have this on sometimes there you might have nothing but one dyo out there with all of the not one dyo but one type of dyo that's become a shiny if you on a map that has like over spawns and stuff like that chance for dinos with two variants 10% so that's how we saw that one behind us with that chance for boosted stats and then there used to be a size variation I don't know if that's still a thing in this version next one is the notifications tracker we typically disable the notifications so we don't get all those disable coordinates on notifications no Doo type in notifications we just do once you turn that on it's going to turn all of them off but you can obviously adjust it to where you want it no shiny variant notifications all right notification duration if you leave it if you leave that like that and it's still going to pop up you can decide how long you want it up there require tracker in inventory if you have to have this little dyo tracker the disable shiny tracker on or off disable coordinate tracker on or off uh really really super simple but you can basically make it to where no one can do the tracker they have to watch for the notifications and then go hunt it down then it's going to be a race to go hunt that down especially on a more highly populated server location Precision is just how close that that little grid that you get from your shiny tracker how close that one's going to be so that's super simple uh last one is the advanced disable Essence on or off that's the essence that we talked about earlier the reward chance of a second Essence level multiplier for enraged that's how much more levels the actual enraged will get because they are a little bit boosted uh no under mesh checks and then the spawn shinies on Startup on that so that's when you first start up the server it's going to go ahead and do that it does 15 search Loops so basically does like a little radar across the map and then it spawns in a certain amount across that and then does a random selection bias of 20% you can adjust all that as well so once you get all that done make sure we close it and then now it should be just like that we still have notifications looks like it for the shinies getting killed so that way if you're chasing after one and that happens then you know about it there is an ini I for this I'm going to Splash the inii up here if I remember to this is just a quick look at what the inii looks like this is basically the same thing that we just looked through it's got all the settings in there and you can do this on your server settings or you can even do this on your game user settings for your inii on your PC as well now we don't really go over them but the admin commands for this are cheat script command shiny spawn now that's the same as the little button that we did inside of the actual D the dino tracker thing here once we click this it's the same thing as this but it's the admin command for that if you don't want to do the little tracker the cheat script command Shan shiny spawn now enraged make sure that enrage spawns on the map and then cheat script command shiny destroy all wild destroys all the shiny dinos so same stuff that you can do right here cuz you can do the enray you can do the destroy all shiny all right there all right hopefully we covered everything in this video This is one of those mods that there's so much in it that I I would take forever to sit there and read all they have I definitely encourage you to go check out their curs forage page they have a link to a little Wiki that tells you the description of everything that we went over today in much more much better and much clearer detail so go check that out huge shout out to the mod developer for shiny dinos one of my absolute favorite mods thank you so much for all support guys I do appreciate it I hope you guys have a great Thursday Friday Saturday we should have videos all weekend for mod spotlights a few solo ones to kind of check out some individual mods that we've been wanting to check out for a while some really cool ones coming up but I hope you guys enjoy that oh man that that's it guys There You Go Hopefully this wasn't too long and hopefully it wasn't too short
