Find the correct Population"pool"

For this example I'm at Wildlife Exploitation Preserve.

Use:

getall WillowPopulationDefinition Name

to get an overview of the "pools", basically the same procedure as in the Lootpool guide. That's why this won't be as extended as the other guide.

For this example I'm interested in the Spawnrate of the various LootMidgets, especially Jimmy Jenkins.

So I'll use:

obj dump PopDef_LootMidget_HyperionMix

The result will be

ActorArchetypeList(0)=(SpawnFactory=PopulationFactoryBalancedAIPawn'GD_Population_Midget.Population.LootMidget.PopDef_LootMidget_HyperionMix:PopulationFactoryBalancedAIPawn_4',Probability=(BaseValueConstant=1.000000,BaseValueAttribute=None,InitializationDefinition=None,BaseValueScaleConstant=1.000000),MaxActiveAtOneTime=(BaseValueConstant=0.000000,BaseValueAttribute=None,InitializationDefinition=None,BaseValueScaleConstant=0.000000),TestVisibility=False,TestFOV=False)

ActorArchetypeList(1)=(SpawnFactory=PopulationFactoryBalancedAIPawn'GD_Population_Midget.Population.LootMidget.PopDef_LootMidget_HyperionMix:PopulationFactoryBalancedAIPawn_3',Probability=(BaseValueConstant=1.000000,BaseValueAttribute=None,InitializationDefinition=None,BaseValueScaleConstant=1.000000),MaxActiveAtOneTime=(BaseValueConstant=0.000000,BaseValueAttribute=None,InitializationDefinition=None,BaseValueScaleConstant=0.000000),TestVisibility=False,TestFOV=False)

ActorArchetypeList(2)=(SpawnFactory=PopulationFactoryBalancedAIPawn'GD_Population_Midget.Population.LootMidget.PopDef_LootMidget_HyperionMix:PopulationFactoryBalancedAIPawn_2',Probability=(BaseValueConstant=1.000000,BaseValueAttribute=None,InitializationDefinition=None,BaseValueScaleConstant=1.000000),MaxActiveAtOneTime=(BaseValueConstant=0.000000,BaseValueAttribute=None,InitializationDefinition=None,BaseValueScaleConstant=0.000000),TestVisibility=False,TestFOV=False)

ActorArchetypeList(3)=(SpawnFactory=PopulationFactoryBalancedAIPawn'GD_Population_Midget.Population.LootMidget.PopDef_LootMidget_HyperionMix:PopulationFactoryBalancedAIPawn_1',Probability=(BaseValueConstant=1.000000,BaseValueAttribute=None,InitializationDefinition=None,BaseValueScaleConstant=1.000000),MaxActiveAtOneTime=(BaseValueConstant=0.000000,BaseValueAttribute=None,InitializationDefinition=None,BaseValueScaleConstant=0.000000),TestVisibility=False,TestFOV=False)

ActorArchetypeList(4)=(SpawnFactory=PopulationFactoryBalancedAIPawn'GD_Population_Midget.Population.LootMidget.PopDef_LootMidget_HyperionMix:PopulationFactoryBalancedAIPawn_0',Probability=(BaseValueConstant=1.000000,BaseValueAttribute=None,InitializationDefinition=None,BaseValueScaleConstant=1.000000),MaxActiveAtOneTime=(BaseValueConstant=0.000000,BaseValueAttribute=None,InitializationDefinition=None,BaseValueScaleConstant=0.000000),TestVisibility=False,TestFOV=False)

ActorArchetypeList(5)=(SpawnFactory=PopulationFactoryBalancedAIPawn'GD_Population_Midget.Population.LootMidget.PopDef_LootMidget_HyperionMix:PopulationFactoryBalancedAIPawn_5',Probability=(BaseValueConstant=0.250000,BaseValueAttribute=None,InitializationDefinition=None,BaseValueScaleConstant=1.000000),MaxActiveAtOneTime=(BaseValueConstant=0.000000,BaseValueAttribute=None,InitializationDefinition=None,BaseValueScaleConstant=0.000000),TestVisibility=False,TestFOV=False)

If we look at the code at ActorArchetypeList(5) we can already see that this probably has the lowest spawnrate due to BaseValueConstant=0.250000. The chance of this being Jimmy is very high, since he's so rare in comparison to the others.

So this is the next one we'll obj dump

obj dump GD_Population_Midget.Population.LootMidget.PopDef_LootMidget_HyperionMix:PopulationFactoryBalancedAIPawn_5

This results in

=== PopulationFactoryBalancedAIPawn properties ===
PawnBalanceDefinition=AIPawnBalanceDefinition'GD_Population_Midget.Balance.LootMidget.PawnBalance_Jimmy'
bUseInstigatorLevel=False

Great, we now have to correct object.

If we'd obj dump this one now, we could access his lootpool for example.

For now, we'll just modify the spawnrate.

We should set this with a hotfix on level.

The basics on how to do it, are already explained here:

https://github.com/c0dycode/BL2ModStuff/blob/master/Lootpools.md#creating-the-hotfix

The final code to convert in to a hotfix is:

start Level PandoraPark_P
set GD_Population_Midget.Population.LootMidget.PopDef_LootMidget_HyperionMix ActorArchetypeList[5].Probability.BaseValueConstant 0.600000

For a short test I've set all the other ones to 0.

set GD_Population_Midget.Population.LootMidget.PopDef_LootMidget_HyperionMix ActorArchetypeList[0].Probability.BaseValueConstant 0.000000
set GD_Population_Midget.Population.LootMidget.PopDef_LootMidget_HyperionMix ActorArchetypeList[1].Probability.BaseValueConstant 0.000000
set GD_Population_Midget.Population.LootMidget.PopDef_LootMidget_HyperionMix ActorArchetypeList[2].Probability.BaseValueConstant 0.000000
set GD_Population_Midget.Population.LootMidget.PopDef_LootMidget_HyperionMix ActorArchetypeList[3].Probability.BaseValueConstant 0.000000
set GD_Population_Midget.Population.LootMidget.PopDef_LootMidget_HyperionMix ActorArchetypeList[4].Probability.BaseValueConstant 0.000000
set GD_Population_Midget.Population.LootMidget.PopDef_LootMidget_HyperionMix ActorArchetypeList[5].Probability.BaseValueConstant 1.000000

And the result is a full room of Jimmys ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
