SSE Help with spawn chance

[DJPrichard]

Must note 1st, I'm new to modding, that is - I am able to learn, but some things are hard for me, especially SSEdit.

To be more specific, I'm trying to edit mod. Author isn't taking care of it anymore, so I'm trying my strenghts in changing some things.
Original mod author added new enemies to leveld enemy list. I'm trying to make those new enemies spawn less often, but when I copy record and set chance none to 75 I get no enemies spawning or few at all. So I am at loss here. What am I doing wrong? Please help me with advice.

You'll have to edit the list entries directly instead of the % chance to do what you want. Like so:

 

Original List

 

1. Old

2. Old

3. New

4. New

5. Old

6. New

7. New

 

New List

 

1. Old

2. Old

3. New

4. *nothing* - deleted entry

5. Old (becomes #4 after the above deletion)

6. *nothing* - deleted entry

7. *nothing* - deleted entry

 

End result is that there are less chances for the new list to choose one of the new enemies, the percentage chance will still be used to determine how much an individual spawn point is used (75% chance none means not often).

Yes! Thank you! Figured that much out last night while not being able to sleep and comparing records of that mod in SSEdit, but wasn't sure I'm on the right path. Good, this can also be used to increase spawn rate. Nice.
