CurveOverrides (Per-Dinosaur Stats) [#curveoverrides-per-dinosaur-stats]

Customize individual dinosaur stats under `[/Script/PathOfTitans.IGameSession]`:

```ini
CurveOverrides=(CurveName="Global.InCombatDuration",Values=(30))
CurveOverrides=(CurveName="DinoName.Core.Damage",Values=(1,1,1,1,1))
CurveOverrides=(CurveName="DinoName.Core.BleedingHealRate",Values=(1,1,1,1,1))
```

The values tuple maps to growth stages (hatchling → adult). Each override goes on its own line.

Rules and MOTD [#rules-and-motd]

Create text files in `PathOfTitans/Saved/`:

* **`Rules.txt`** — displayed once on first login (player must accept). Reload with `/ReloadRules`.
* **`MOTD.txt`** — displayed every time a player connects. Reload with `/ReloadMOTD`. Players can view with `/motd`.

Supported formatting tags: `<title>`, `<large>`, `<small>`, `<red>`, `<orange>`, `<yellow>`, `<green>`, `<blue>`, `<purple>`, `<white>`. Close with `</>`.
