It's been a tremendous help in understanding the ADF format. You get a summary of those when you click on the "Spawned" label in the bottom left corner of the scanner.Ī big thank you to Rick Gibbed for sharing his work on the Just Cause 3 tools.
Animals spawned since a previous session (when you are comparing with an older population file). Animals that spawned in the current session (when live mode is active) and/or. They are the games doing, not the scanner. Note that the list contains many duplicate entries. Maybe it's a bug, maybe they changed it intentionally. And sometimes when new animals spawn, some entries are removed from the RePopulation list. Most of the time, however, that's not the case, and the list just keeps getting longer. Perhaps it was originally intended to serve as a pool for re-populating the map. The list labeled 'RePopulation' is used by the game to store animals that were killed. There is a filter available to display only specific species. In addition, need zones that are active at the current time will be displayed with icons of the species. In live mode, the map will also display your current position. It will even display need zones that are no longer visible in-game due to 'stacking'. The map displays your already discovered need zones for the selected species using colored spots. This goes both ways, a predicted diamond might end up as Gold, but a Gold with a high TR can still turn out as a Diamond.Īnyway, for the vast majority of cases, the prediction is correct. This can result in incorrect medal predictions for animals that are close to the threshold. However, for animals with TruRACS this value is slightly randomized when the TruRACS is generated. The trophy rating stored in the population file is used to predict the medal. Please report those mismatches to help improve this software. I used the data available on the internet to map the weight to the difficulty rating as good as possible, but there will be mismatches. The difficulty rating is based on the animals weight. Don't run the app from inside the 7zip explorer window!įor most users they should be located in the save game folder:Ĭ:\Users\\Documents\Avalanche Studios\COTW\Saves\\įor some users it is in their OneDrive folder. Note1: You need to have an archive tool installed like 7zip.
Extract the whole folder (not just the exe) to wherever you like and start the app. It does not modify the game and doesn't require the game to run.
It is still a good idea to back up your save game files regularly. The file is opened read-only, so the population is not changed.
This scanner will read your animal population file and show what's in it.
