What is dino deathmatch?
Dino deathmatch was a gamemode popular in the past where both teams were dinos and fought against each other, dilos could blind and pteras could pick up, it was chaos, but fun chaos

people today seem to think the gamemode is broken, im about to show you that this is not the case
How to activate dino deathmatch
Dino deathmatch isnt a gamemode normally accessable, all you have to do is run this command

adminChangeMap [map name]?game=primalcarnagegame.PCdinodeathmatchgame

where [map name] is put the name of the map
here are some examples
PC-docks
PC-waterlogged
PC-contingency
PC-thefalls
(as of writing this guide i am unsure if free roam maps work with this gamemode, if you know please comment below)
General things you need to know
Dino deathmatch while not completely broken, is a bit buggy. since its not considered an official gamemode by the developers, they are not responsible for any bugs, balance issues or other general clunkyness in dino deathmatch

there are a few known bugs:
dilo and cryo can blind any dino by landing a shot on any part of the body
cerato can slap things to the moon via tail-whip
tupa can ram and knockback anything
tyrants bite attack is useless on dinos except for spino
raptor cannot pounce anything
title message is broken

now that you know everything have fun in dino deathmatch!

Edit 5-19-22: that said server is not active anymore, Everyone Admin switches to DDM once in a blue moon still but DDM's pretty much dead.

another edit: After the recent flyer patch, i tested stuff out with pawns on a private host game server, and spitters still don't do impact spit damage, but spit pools actually work, so dilo spit will trigger stamina drain and cryo spit still does it's AOE effect. I guess maybe using the spitter sniper playstyle somewhat works... worse than it did in 2020-21 tho
all attacks also no longer ignore armor and crit shots, so, for example, an Ovi attacking a Spino will do 35 damage to normal areas, about 45 to crit areas, and about 20 to armored areas.

pretty sure there's one freeroam server that'll switch to DDM sometimes, but those DDM things only last for like 90 minutes

plus dilo and cryo do nothing with their spit nowadays i think, bite is their only weapon now so they're pitiful against the dreaded carnivore threehorn cera and experienced pteras/tupas

and I agree with the chaos thing, if you played DDM in 2020, there was a server called Aedra DDM that was full of pteras and tupas almost 24/7, resulting in what was widely known as "Flyer Wars" where every species except ptera and tupa suffered. this was a few months before cera was added, after cera was added the flyer wars started to die off
