Thx a lot. Heard all that talk about resetting maps but didn’t know how to to do it. Find the animal pop. Scanner very useful. On my red deer grind I shot 3 diamonds that didn’t show up in the A.P.S. Including my biggest one yet (over 271). But still I’m glad I downloaded it, thx again.
So, we don't need the program for repopulation, we just need to delete or rename the file, then enter the game, and a new file will be created automatically. I'm glad, because the non-working "repopulate" button has upset me.
after all my research I think there's a "account" max so if one of your maps is rich in diamonds another is poor, you wont have all map with lots of diamonds. Thanks for watching
Just check that it's scanning the most recent save file, I've noticed that on some updates of the game, it's created a new save folder leaving the old files in the old folder.
whenever i try to download the scanner i can never get it as a file it always make me open the download through Microsoft. can anyone help me figure out what the issue is?
This happens with someone else, I think your save game might be stored in a different location? You might have to search for it and point the app to it.
Tested it on Epic Games version and it worked almost perfectly, I only had some troubles at the beginning. Basically, when I tried to refresh the animal population file, I opened the game and it created a totally new save folder instead of loading the previous one. In fact, I had to accept EULA and do the tutorial. But nothing to worry about, with the backup everything got restored. Then I did a second attempt, and everything went smooth, the fact is that before I had 4 diamonds, now I have 8, but 6 of them are mallards and 2 of them are rabbits. 😂😂
@@steamich6576 Now, I don't remember exactly what I did, but as far as I can remember, basically I deleted the new save file that got created and put back the backup saved file. Oh yeah, I also deleted the .old extension from the "animal_population_x" file to make it work again. Anyways, don't worry too much, if you did a backup you should be more than fine. Also, I wouldn't suggest you to use scanners, because in my opinion, they just kill the sense of searching in the game. But of course, you're free to do whatever you like.
@@steamich6576 I had the Epic Games version and I didn't turn anything off about cloud. But, if you've Steam version, probably you should disable something.
i couldnt get it to run everytime i donload it to a file and try to open it it says open with app then wont open how you showed it. do you know how to fix this?
Plus, there isnt a single zone of mine that animals are actually spawning at currently. I honestly have come to the conclusion that I pissed off the devs and am now cursed
You probably don't read this but. I'm playing on epic games launcher and it's not working please help somehow or atleast write me back with some advice...
it may be becasue epic games is storing your save game data elsewhere, try Documents\My Games\. I try to read and respond to as many comments as I can.
@@haydenbrown6526 sorry, I thought this comment was on my latest video. This video right here literally shows how to use the application. there's no install, its standalone, run it from your desktop.
Sorry mate but I call BS.. I've done what you've done exactly as you did it and my "new" animal populationfile is never over 6 diamonds. most of the time it is only 2 or 3. I've done this around 15 times now. So the odds of you just getting 11 diamonds on first try is unlikely.
It's an RNG, so yes it's all odds. I did find that if you reset multiple maps at the same time, you get less diamonds. I get a better result if I reset one map, play an hour or so then reset the next map, rinse repeat. Thanks for watching.
You say your a purist ? yet you download Mod cheats? Anyone watching this, think twice before doing this hack, likely to compromise or ruin your files.
no hacks, no mod's no editing game files required. Making a backup of all your files allows you to revert back if you decide. All you do in this is allow COTW to use its inbuilt (vanilla) RNG
@@ianbowen1416 never said there was anything wrong with pop reset. But using a mod to read your files and resetting if you claim to be a "purist" is at best being a hypocrite, and by the way Bowen, very intellectual argument to say dry those tears . Just pointing out the facts.
Please both of you stop your bickering and let me sum this up for everyone. Firstly, I never said I'm a Purist, I said "I'm a BIT of a purist", second, they aren't crying and therefore don't need to dry their tears, what NK is doing is attempting to discredit my channel by making loose allegations of Cheating, hacking and modding. Lets analyse this statements to uncover the real facts. Mod = modifying, this application does not modify the game in any way, its merely an analytics tool. Hack = unauthorized access to data in a system or computer, since were in offline mode, we are only accessing data on our own system and not interrupting the game play of other players. Cheat = behaving dishonestly in order to gain an advantage, have I been dishonest? no, I literally just told everyone exactly what I did, I couldn't be more honest if I tried, Did I gain an advantage? yes, but no more than anyone who resets their population. For anyone who's never been hunting, you don't just go to a random piece of land and hope there is animals, you speak to other hunters that have been there, you speak to the local farmers... You ask what you will find there and they will tell you if there is dense population, what size animals you can expect and even where to find them. While this tool wont tell you where to find them, it will give you similar info to what you would get IRL In conclusion, all I have done is pointed out yet another bug that has become noticeable since the Doggo update, and how to circumvent it.

3 years later still works perfectly. Amazing tutorial.
Eyy, now I know how to backup my save file! I've been meaning to ask you that on stream, but now I dont need to lol thank you!
Started a new game with no mods and a few whitetails shot checked my file on layton and see a 544 great one and I can't wait to find it

Mine shows I have a diamond piebald somewhere, but I have no fucking idea where to look because I have been around the WHOLE MAP
@@moonaura3507 I had one, just shot it like 20 mins ago. Was a gold after all. A gold hog deer piebald.
Worked perfectly! Thank you!
Thanks, it worked 👍

I reckon they have nerfed the amount if diamonds. I just tried this at least 10 times on Medved and the most it gave me was 3 diamonds.

@@MadAboutTutorials hmmm ok thanks for the reply. I will check my other maps.
its saying that i have a great one bison lol
when i click on the reload animal population file nothing happens everything stays the same
Just check that it's scanning the most recent save file, I've noticed that on some updates of the game, it's created a new save folder leaving the old files in the old folder.
Can you please make another video on how to reset the population on the epic games version?
ik you posted this a while ago but i can not get this to work like the webiste opens but i cant find the file to check population
this vids almost a year old and the developer has lost interest in COTW
oof
whenever i try to download the scanner i can never get it as a file it always make me open the download through Microsoft. can anyone help me figure out what the issue is?
Thats why true hunters play on console only.there you cant use any resets and other stuff

the same with me, it says "couldn't scan file", it only works for hirch and layton, and it says "last modified 276 days ago" ... please help
@@pustivodu i figured it out msg my discord Arkziii#6601
This happens with someone else, I think your save game might be stored in a different location? You might have to search for it and point the app to it.
now what do you do if it makes you loose everything
just replace you save folder with the backup you created, which I'm confident you were diligent enough to d, right.

here's a setup and user guide. ua-cam.com/video/PfkFyflE2ik/v-deo.html
He, if this still works I need help please. The most diamonds a map has is 4 and I cannot reset the population
Plus, there isnt a single zone of mine that animals are actually spawning at currently. I honestly have come to the conclusion that I pissed off the devs and am now cursed

it may be becasue epic games is storing your save game data elsewhere, try Documents\My Games\. I try to read and respond to as many comments as I can.
is it possible to check where the animals are?
yup, jump in the game and head to some need zones, you should see animals. Seriously, no, knowing where they are would take the fun out of the game.
Is there a way to be "offline mode" on epic games?
epic games 🤮 GG bro
does taxidermizing animals after work or will the taxidermized animals get deleted too
I go to my documents and I can't find avalanche studios?
same

Does reseting the population file remove the existing need zones?
No, all need zones, out posts, look outs, tents and hunting stands remain, even hunting pressures stays.
Zones might move though they never get deleted i kill zones always thetes always new ones next visit.
Anyone play on pc, that would let our group play on their maps
If you have a group, you could just play on each others maps. Thanks for watching
