[frank egret]

nope

[wet heart]

welll thats not fun, alrighty has there been news about if its coming with the center or scorched?

[frank egret]

supposed to be out in the next 2 weeks

i wanna say the 28th was the announced day

[wet heart]

thank you!! I couldnt find anything in my research that would be wonderful!

[native wave]

24th

In last CC

[frank egret]

ah so 28th is pretty accurate lol

[gusty quest]

How do you increase the tame limit on tribes? Only one I can find is global tame limit.

[distant hearth]

MaxPersonalTamedDinos=250
is the default in gameusersetting ini
change it say 500 to double it

[severe pawn]

With admin mode (gcm) it does not allow flying. You need to use /fly . Because it's quite uncomfortable. Any option to make it work as before?

[distant hearth]

works fine for me, just double tap jump button

[severe pawn]

That only works for me with fly. Not with gcm. Also with fly... when I stop, I can't fly fast again, and I have to put... walk and then fly... I don't know why I can't fly with gcm.

[distant hearth]

oh, i have no idea then sry
i just do
enablecheats mypassword
cheat gcm

and it works fine

[severe pawn]

Yes, I do the same. But it doesn't fly. Thank you also for your response.

[distant hearth]

sry wasnt of any help

[severe pawn]

Well, really knowing that it is not something that happens to everyone. Is an advance. 🙂

[solemn zephyr]

Gcm allows me to fly as well.

Slow flying comes after I touch shift.

I just double tab to walk, double tap to fly and I'm fast again

[tepid bough]

Does anyone know how to get the server window to be larger after starting the server through steamcmd? The text in the window is literally 1mm tall.

[humble thicket]

best to just use cheat fly. its faster

[frigid vine]

Works perfectly since years... Don't forget to fly/Walk is in gcm toggled by double whitespace on PC, did you do that?

And also don't forget: when you in gcm and pressing Shift its Not that you going/flying faster, its slower

[severe pawn]

It must be some configuration of the server, it has been happening to me and another person for a while. Honestly... I thought it was due to some wildcard "update"... since it happened to both of us. But it is very uncomfortable to fly with fly, double tapping the space bar... since when I stop... it no longer reacts to the Double tap the space bar. And the gcm... it doesn't fly directly. To go "fast" again with the double tap... if I stop... I must put the walk... and the fly again... like this continuously. But I don't know what it could be on the server. Thanks for answering

[wise kindle]

I just double tap the space bar each time. If it gets into slow mode i double tap twice to get over it. I guess it might be more difficult if you have the gel button laptop keyboards thats kinda numb to get quick button touches tho, so that’s understandable.

[trail plank]

Setting up my first cluster for ASE, and I am runnning into a couple of issues. Upon transfering to the other map, I am gettign an Outgoing reliable buffer overflow error that I have to reconnect to the map. The second issue I am experencing with with the Dino Storage mod and not being able to throw out dinos with an error about Wildcard made non-clustered obby transfers remove bytes.

[vital linden]

The overflow error is a longstanding message. Here is an explanation someone posted years ago: "So for clients there is a buffer, kind of like memory, where it holds data waiting to be processed by the client. This could be anything that replicates to your client and everything in effect contributes to this buffer. It could be polygons and tri's from rendering, animations, number of engrams learned, items on you (cryopods have the biggest impact since it's holding dino data in a tiny item), dinos, structures (dynamic changing ones have the biggest impact), and every time you open an inventory holding Ark Data than all three tabs of data get replicated to you, and there's more. Everything that your client actually has to process goes towards this. When the buffer limit is reached than "unreliable" events (or those set to not be absolutely mandatory in firing) will cease to fire, but events set as "reliable" have that mandatory flag and if it can't execute than it causes a hard failure. It's hard to define what is set as reliable but we can imagine that events tied to a player connecting would be considered reliable whereas throwing an item on the ground to trigger the respective animation would be unreliable. Thus, when this client data reaches it's limit and you trigger a reliable event... this is how you get: Reliable Outgoing Buffer Overflow.

In short, your client/game is processing too much data. Lowering graphics or learning less engrams or anything to reduce your data to process will help. Also, the faster your storage device (SSDs win here), the faster it can process this data which helps it from overflowing. The faster it processes out, the less chance of it reaching the limit."

[raven wigeon]

wich windows server is compatible with the server files for asa??

used 2012 r2, now installed 2022 and it doesnt start

[stable obsidian]

So my dedicated server runs. It shows but i can't get in. No one can. It gives me the connection failed message. The server did work before this licence stuff. I didnt change anything. But when i saw the server wasnt online and i read that needed to download this licence, i did. After i did that the server was showing again but now we cant join. Help! I tried a lot of different things already

[empty peak]

your probably missing some thing like Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable and or DirectX

[raven wigeon]

installed all but ill recheck

[empty peak]

also try a restart

[raven wigeon]

its weird

if i remove the mods it boots up, if i put back the mods it wont read the mods and just closes the server window

[empty peak]

what are you using for mods ?

[raven wigeon]

-mods=900062,927131,914844,912902,926956,916922,908148,934878,929420,930404

just the command on the batch file

[empty peak]

could be one of the mods having a issue ?

[raven wigeon]

dont think so, it runs fine on vmware windows 10

[distant hearth]

if it boots without mods, then u got remove them all an recheck, then add one by one, or look in crash files an see if can find the one causing the issue

[raven wigeon]

LowLevelFatalError [File:E:\dave_WC-PURPLERAIN_NVidia\Projects\ShooterGame\Source\ShooterGame\Private\ShooterGameInstance.cpp] [Line: 831]
Requested mods failed to load on server.

funny is, i zipped the files that worked on vmware anc copy them to the phisical server

they run fine on vmware, but on the phisical server they wont load the mods

[empty peak]

you ziped all the server files to move them ?

[raven wigeon]

ye

[distant hearth]

maybe the server is unable to unzip them , depends how u zippd them i guess, not really familiar with any that . but the server is telling you it has issue with one or all the mods,
simple solution is to try one and see

[empty peak]

just redownload with steamcmd

[distant hearth]

if u zip in say 7zip an server doesnt have that, it wont recognize, winrar same w.e .

[raven wigeon]

well i actualy installed a fresh one too and did the same thing, soon i put the mod line is wont boot!! MAybe its a win2022 issue?

[distant hearth]

u shudnt need to do any like that though, just start server with -mods=900062 in the bat
test, no boot, test another mod. to help narrow down issue

server will just download an install the mod when it start , presuming its all happy

[raven wigeon]

nop, doesnt start with any mod

[empty peak]

remove all the mods from the folder ?

see if it will redownload them

I personly use server 2019

[distant hearth]

shootergame/binaries/win64/shootergame

be two files, mods and modsuserdata
delete them both (server off)

then start server with just one mod , test if work
im thinking it trying open the zipped ones u put in

[raven wigeon]

i think its a win2022 problem

[distant hearth]

i dont know enough to be certain but doesnt seem to me like that shud cause an issue.
Server starts with no mods, so , seems to me like an issue with the mod files , either it cant d/l the correct ones or find them for w.e reason
hopefully someone with more knowledge can assist further

[tiny aspen]

Hey all, I was wondering. I'm trying to run some more advertising to attract more people as I would love to expand my cluster/community even further. However, what kind of advertisement techniques do you all use? The current ways I'm trying to attract potential players seems to be running dry like a well 😅

Especially since I built a whole unique bot specifically for my community with some amazing/unique features 😛

[eager pasture]

Can we run custom mod maps on console now?

[tardy pine]

If the map is available for console then you should be able to

[eager pasture]

Got any good suggestions?😂

[tardy pine]

I think svartalfheim is cross platform now

[eager pasture]

Heck ya

[tardy pine]

svartalfheim

Been thinking of booting a server for it. I was waiting on server transfers but can do it now if you want a new server to play on

Once booted it will be up for several months

[eager pasture]

I just uploaded it to my private server, I barley know how to play the game so I have everything cranked super high so make it super easy lol

[tardy pine]

Nice. Careful cranking settings, small adjustments make huge differences that can make the game boring. Happened to me back in ASE, I was a lot more careful boosting things this go around and I am having a way better time in the game

[eager pasture]

Ima message you

[tardy pine]

Go for it

[stable obsidian]

So my dedicated server runs. It shows but i can't get in. No one can. It gives me the connection failed message. The server did work before this licence stuff. I didnt change anything. But when i saw the server wasnt online and i read that needed to download this licence, i did. After i did that the server was showing again but now we cant join. Help! I tried a lot of different things already

[tardy pine]

License? Like having to log in to steamcmd with the steam account to download and run the server?

That's been phased out months ago if that is the case. Take all that info out of your batch file

[stable obsidian]

Wait what? It also says it in the ark wiki

Im confused

[distant hearth]

ark.wiki is way off on alot asa stuff

[tiny aspen]

Yeah you can run servers without licensing

[stable obsidian]

Since 18 November 2023, server owners need to manually install the certificate revocation list that can be obtained from ://dev.epicgames.com/ (or just directly from //crl.r2m02.amazontrust.com/r2m02.crl). The downloaded r2m02.crl file must be installed (right-click on the file) by selecting Place all certificates in the following store and selecting Trusted Root Certification Authorities. A system restart may be needed.

[distant hearth]

post the bat file here, just **** the passwords an server name if u wish

[stable obsidian]

C:\SteamCMD\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir C:\SteamCMD\steamapps\common\ARK +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate +quit

start C:\SteamCMD\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?listen?SessionName=""?ServerPassword=?ServerAdminPassword=?Port=8010?QueryPort=27020?MaxPlayers=70 -BattlEye
exit

[distant hearth]

thats for an asa server?

[tardy pine]

Is that for ASE or ASA?

[distant hearth]

looks more like ase

[serene ibex]

Can someone tell my why tf ark is so shit like tf i still cant feed those fucking Titans even do the settings allow to feed raid Dinos and why the actual fuck shit does my titan after downloading him to another map has no food which goofballs mad that system??????

[distant hearth]

nvm im dumb it says ascended haha, ermmm that is all screwed up

[tardy pine]

2430930 is the ascended app id. It's probably a port problem

[celest halo]

That port setting is wrong it's -port= not ?port=

And there is no query port for ASA

[tardy pine]

C:\SteamCMD\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir C:\SteamCMD\steamapps\common\ARK +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 +quit

start C:\SteamCMD\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?listen?ServerAdminPassword=?SessionName=***?ServerPassword=**** -Port=8010 -WinLiveMaxPlayers=70 -BattlEye
exit
``` try this. and what port protocol are you forwarding? TCP or UDP?

[cedar hound]

Does anyone know how to make it where when you lvl up all the engrams for that lvl auto unlock I tried doing it by adding the command in the asa game ini but it didn't work

[celest halo]

Won't work game will be on default port not 8010

[celest halo]

MaxPlayers is also wrong for ASA

[distant hearth]

start C:\SteamCMD\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?listen?SessionName=(****) -port=8010 -winlivemaxplayers=70

this is same thing but in asa , ure telling it to work on port 8010 rather than the standard 7777, so u need that port forwarded in firewall inbound/outbound and in the router (what ever between you and internet)

serverpassword is done in gus.ini

**** is your server name

oh fuck

[tardy pine]

good catch, also fixed players setting

[distant hearth]

ermm i didnt mean do that highlight thing

idk how fix that, but eh im sure u all see what i mean

[tardy pine]

Password can be in start bat, works fine for me

[distant hearth]

oh yea , i guess , just prefer clean server start , easier to see whats going on , its coz im new at it i guess

be interested to know if the og post had port 7777 udp open or 8010udp

[celest halo]

That will change if you do clusters off same comp and want different passwords for each server

[distant hearth]

wud you not just put each password in each server ini ?

[celest halo]

All the maps can share a gus.ini and stuff in start bat is overrides for each map

[distant hearth]

hmm , never played with aberation much then 😛
i do want that on the same gus as my other maps , as i make the time differnt, so its more like summer time (more daylight)

but i see where you mean now

can point them all same gus

[celest halo]

I run each map in its own VM so they don't share anything 🤣

But some people run them all from same server install

[distant hearth]

yea, i kinda get it now, its just two diffent ways to skin a cat essentially 🙂

[celest halo]

Saves space when running multiple maps from same PC, don't need to have multiple installs of the server

[distant hearth]

hmmm, ok, far as i knew each seperate map running at same time needed its own server install,

sry , im just trying learn all this stuff as only had shitrado servers before ,
once a few more asa maps open up , gonna hopefully rent a dedicated machine

[tardy pine]

In ASE there was a way to use the same install files and set separate maps and save locations. I hope it is the same on ASA when they open transfers because that's how I'd prefer to run it

VM's are great for compartmentalization but they have their own additional overhead when the only supported platform is windows

[native wave]

ASA can be run in Linux using proton...not as good as native Linux binaries...but works for me

[tardy pine]

Nice, I might try it out when I get the time. If I have to troubleshoot an issue with a server starting or something after an update, I'd prefer to not have to troubleshoot my server infrastructure on top of the game problems. I really hope they release Linux versions natively soon

[native wave]

My ase cluster ran in docker containers...and creating a cluster just meant setting up a folder to mount on the host and in each docker container

[distant hearth]

you all just make me realise i have a shit ton more learning and research to do :/
kinda thought i was most the way there ...... nope lolz

[native wave]

All gotta learn at some point 🙂

[distant hearth]

aye too true, trying get it sussed now whilst work quiet 🙂

[tardy pine]

Man I am in the same boat. I didn't know clustering was a thing until everyone was enraged about ASA hosting license requirements at launch breaking the theoretical way that they work

I really am looking forward to setting one up though

[distant hearth]

i looked after ase clusters but only through nitrado, so it , kinda did some of the bakground stuff for you , unique cluster ids, etc,
but yea , its good to leasrn new things

[tardy pine]

I never played other maps because I didn't want to start over on a new map, clusters and transfers change that, so I can finally be motivated to play more then the island after years lol

[distant hearth]

lmao , fair
learn the file paths an you can just take a world, save it , then always go back to it when ever.

i have world saves for ase going back like 5-6 years, maybe more.
prolly gonna clean them out soon though, doubt anyone ask it for now

[celest halo]

i have a full back up of my ASE cluster lmao

[stable obsidian]

@celest halo @distant hearth @tardy pine thank you guys. Im gonna try this tomorrow. I host more games thats why the port for this game is on 8010 not on 7777. And yes i port forwarded everything and added it to the firewall too. The server worked before but just stopped. So i thought i needed to download this licenses. So i need to take those out?

[tardy pine]

Unless your a streamer with a commercial license then yeah

[stable obsidian]

Nope im not lol

So do i need to take it out like its written on the wiki?

If before 18 November 2023 server owners installed the r2m02.cer certificate file and the server isn't showing up, that certificate must be removed from the system to properly allow the servers to be visible again. To remove the revoked certificate run (Windows + R) certmgr.msc and search for Amazon RSA 2048 M02 in Trusted Root Certification Authorities. The same must be done running certlm.msc. Finally, a system restart may be needed

[distant hearth]

at the point you were with the weird start bat, if was me, copy the world save and player data (if it has alot peoples stuff on it )
delete the server an start ove, get it run properly, then load the data back

[stable obsidian]

No it was only me playing. A friend was about to join when i found out that it wasnt showing

Yeah but the weird start bat worked fine before so i don't know what happened

[tardy pine]

And to confirm, you forwarded UDP port protocols right?

[celest halo]

yeah not sure what im going to do with ASA, my ASE cluster was all linux

[distant hearth]

i honestly dont know how it worked, most of your cmds were doing nothing/revert to default

[stable obsidian]

I put them always on both @tardy pine

@distant hearth oke weird

Thank you guys. Ill let you know if it worked or not. Please can you check this part

[stable obsidian]

This part

If i need to delete the licence like this?

[tardy pine]

All you need is UDP. Both works too but I prefer not to open holes in my firewall unless there is a use for them

[stable obsidian]

Ahh oke thank you

[tardy pine]

You can look in the windows cert library and remove it if it's there, I had the license on day 1 and never had to remove it though. So I cant offer good advice there.

[stable obsidian]

Oke im gonna try this tomorrow. We will see how far we will get

[distant hearth]

i wud just use the most simple bat u can , get the server to run, then mess with the more complex stuff

mine is
start ArkAscendServer.exe TheIsland_Wp?Listen?SessionName(xxxx) -winlivemaxplayers=10

this will make an asa server run on default port 7777udp (i run the bat file from the server install location xxxxxxxx/shootergame/binaries/win64/shootergame
so i dont need to add all the other file paths to my start bat)

if u want to change the port add -port8010
this makes it run on udp port 8010

• winlivemaxplayers=10 is 10 player slot server

[stable obsidian]

Oke thank.you very much

[trail plank]

Is it normal for engrams to partway get reset when doing crossark travel?

[distant hearth]

its not unsual if the two servers arent running identical settings and mods

[trail plank]

I think thats what I am figuring out

[surreal ledge]

Hey y'all, I really need some help.
I can't find this anywhere for some reason, but how do I dedicate more ram to my ASE dedicated server?

[celest halo]

if there is free ram it will take what it wants

[surreal ledge]

Is there a way I can force it to use more?
it looks like it's really not using much but my VM has 30GB

[celest halo]

telling it to use 20gb when it only has 5gb of data to store is not going to do anything

[surreal ledge]

hmm.. man :/

[distant hearth]

get 40 players on the serve im sure it will force it to use more
it will just use what it needs 🙂

[surreal ledge]

I think my cpu is just too slow 😦

can I force terminal output so I can see what it's doing?

[dusky spruce]

heyyy guys, is this the right channel to ask about some help for the mods i wanna use on a singleplayer map?

[lucid solstice]

Yeah

[surreal grove]

on my server we are not doing any damage and not taking any damage... the playerdamagemultiplier=1 and the playerresisteancemultiplaier=1

what els can i look in to

[surreal ledge]

is pve or pvp damage on?

[surreal grove]

were do i find that? GUS?

[surreal ledge]

Are you using ARS or ARE

[surreal grove]

ASA

[surreal ledge]

Oh sorry. I only have ASE

[surreal grove]

anyone else that knows?

thanks anyway toastyghost

[tardy pine]

Damage to and from other players, dinos, resources? What kind of damage are we talking about here?

[surreal grove]

against other dinos... wild dinos with character

[tardy pine]

Ohh wow, you cant take out a gun and shoot a dodo?

[surreal grove]

i can take out the gun and shot.,.. and the i hit it... but it dont take dmg...

[dense turret]

2254 ddos now

[surreal grove]

its like greenpeace and wildlife ragers are protectiong everytheing

[tardy pine]

That's wild. Do you have access to the server files and configs?

[tardy pine]

Can you paste your game user settings file contents here? Take out the admin password before you send it

[surreal grove]

need to go dm

[heady basalt]

oh thats what was wrong with mine then, i couldnt figure out why the hell my server disappeared from list and could never get it back ,but it was a temp server waiting for xbox launch so no longer issue.

[tardy pine]

These lines

DinoDamageMultiplier=0
DinoResistanceMultiplier=0

//modifies the amount of damage the dino can do to players or other dinos, 0 is no damage delt at all. If you want dinos to hit you, but not very hard, turn it to 0.5 or 0.25, if you want them to deal extra damage change this to 1.5 or 2
DinoDamageMultiplier=0

//modifies the amount of damage the dino can take, 0 is no damage taken at all. If you want dinos to take more damage from a player, turn it up. 1.5 or 2 should be plenty
DinoResistanceMultiplier=0

[solemn zephyr]

Whats your dino resistance mulitplier for wilds?

^^^ Moon got it

[surreal grove]

okey trying to change that now...

its working, thanks alot for the help

[tardy pine]

No problem!

[untold turtle]

Has anyone else had trouble with the disable cryopod requirements in the gameusersettings.ini? I put just the disable requirements line in by itself and all three settings lines that we were given in the patch notes and my cryopods still say I'm not in range of a cryofridge. Is there something I'm missing? I put it under the server settings heading. Does it need to be under its own heading?

[solemn zephyr]

GUS

[ServerSettings]
AllowCryoFridgeOnSaddle=False
DisableCryopodEnemyCheck=True
DisableCryopodFridgeRequirement=True

[untold turtle]

I moved it from the bottom of the list under [ServerSettings] to the top and it worked! Idk if that's what you intended to say but it worked and you rock 🙂

[solemn zephyr]

Whoohoo 😉

[whole skiff]

why is my server not popping up in the unofficial section i have to hit player only servers..?

[dusky spruce]

Heyyy guys. Is there a way to host a free private server for ASE with mods on my own pc for my network only?
if yes, could u tell me how i can do that pls^^

[solemn zephyr]

Shit, these days 90% of Nitrado hosted people have to check that box

[solemn zephyr]

Google "self host ark evolved server" there are 100s of resources

[dusky spruce]

alrighty, ty

[cedar hound]

is bAutoUnlockAllEngrams=true still the right game.ini setting to auto unlock engrams or did it change with asa because i have it in my ini and it dont work

[whole skiff]

im hosting on a dedi

[solemn zephyr]

Then 100% you have to check that box

[whole skiff]

thats stupid

[dire idol]

Hey everyone! We run a server for ASA on the island and plan on creating a second and third with the drop of the Center and SE. but I had a question regarding server transfers, how long does official usually have transfers turned off for upon release of a new map. And what would you all suggest for a private cluster? Should we allow player transfers but no items or Dino’s ? Trying to get some community opinions on it

[vocal saffron]

so ive started up a server, it says its started but i cant find it in the server list. anyone can help would be appreciated

[olive talon]

Rented from Nitrado or hosted by you?

[serene ermine]

Hey Guys. Is there a good video to open a dedicated server for ARK Evolved? I tried to open one but my friends can't join. Im using ARK Server Managment

[proper condor]

Hey how do you get mating time down I got the setting at .1 but still 2-3 hours between mating

[grim nova]

have to just keep decreasing sub .1 to essentially remove it my server is running MatingIntervalMultiplier=0.000001

[bitter bear]

what would be best way to save backups without an ARK server manager (Due to most not allowing me to run ARK Server API) and no panel for same reason/

[vocal saffron]

@olive talonfrom nitrado

[peak sapphire]

How fresh is the server? Have you changed many settings and amended the server name?

[vocal saffron]

i changed the server typed it in the search bar just says no sessions found

[peak sapphire]

Sometimes the issue is with the Ark UI itself. Try clicking the “player-server” button (despite that check being for non-Nitrado servers, mine has appeared there from time to time)

[distant hearth]

make sure at top to search all, not just pve as they default to pvp

[vocal saffron]

that might actually be my problem lmao its on pvp

[peak sapphire]

Standard UI problem then

[vocal saffron]

sorry guys im an idiot i found it

[peak sapphire]

Blame the UI lol

[vocal saffron]

literally

idk y it wouldnt default to all anyways

[onyx portal]

Anyone know of a working ASA server manager? Everyone I’ve tried has issues writing to the INI’s

GSA on top

[solemn zephyr]

Use the wiki or get the beacon app. I could hop out of bed and get you the exact line but it's better you learn

[hazy schooner]

Hello, I have some issues with the win version of ASE, could anyone help?

[solemn zephyr]

Best bet is to ask your actual question

[humble thicket]

personally i would suggest transfers on but no items or dinos. just survivor

[hazy schooner]

Allright, if you could help.

First and foremost, I am trying to make a server for ASE ( Yes we're late ), we got it for free on the pc microsoft store and we were wondering if there's crossplay with Steam? Or do I have to get a win10 specific server?

Secondary issue :
How do I set a proper resolution? It seems to get stuck on lower settings

[olive talon]

Ark Survival Evolved only has crossplay with Xbox.

[solemn zephyr]

You have to get an xbox server.

Resolution is client side

[humble thicket]

ase cross play is win10 + xbox | steam + epic only

[hazy schooner]

I see, so I should go digging into config files? When I try to use the slider it stays stuck.

Also thanks to the others for the info

[humble thicket]

@hazy schooner you can buy ase on kinguin for like £9

to activate on steam

[hazy schooner]

It's not an issue, we all got it from Win10, it was a matter as to where to get the server

[leaden cedar]

Hello, would anyone know how to increase the maximum building height on a Nitrado server?

[hazy schooner]

My only issue now is the resolution...

[humble thicket]

ahhh then you will need to rent a server on nitrado xbox server for the win10

[hazy schooner]

That is what I am doing right now, I am lucky I checked first

[humble thicket]

resolution should be in arks install folder. in the gameusersettings.ini

[humble thicket]

theres a building height cap?

[leaden cedar]

Apparently yes, one of my players is trying to build a skyscraper (don't ask me why) and he has reached the maximum height, which he told me is 50.

[humble thicket]

well do know that on island theres a kill zone so far up that will insta-kill you and will make no bag appear where you got killed

[leaden cedar]

Yes, I know, and they know it too (I got caught several times while admin flying), but maybe it's safer not to increase it considering that.

[humble thicket]

thats probs the safer thing

[distant hearth]

i suspect more likely he has run into the structure amount cap.

this line in gameusersetting, under [serversettings]
NewMaxStructuresInRange=2600

thats default double for 2x as much etc
just be aware large buildings take forever to render in

[leaden cedar]

Yes, I'm aware of the loading time (especially for lower-end configurations). It's indeed possible that he has reached it; I'll ask him to try building sideways to see. Thanks 🙂

[distant hearth]

far as im aware there is no height limit, till you reach world/sky border, just a structure limit

[leaden cedar]

Thanks for the information bro !

[kind wolf]

is there any way to turn off structure damage for pve server, wanted to use more greenhouse walls for builds

[solemn zephyr]

Set your structure resistance to 0.0

[floral violet]

how do i chage my dedicated server map

[languid plank]

so im already looking ahead to having an SE server up as well as my island and possibly a Center map. I know I will have to cluster them, but my biggest question is can i limit transfers into SE to say just survivors, and have full transfers into the Island and the Center? Im pretty sure i set that in an .ini but im not 100% sure as i have never done it

[distant hearth]

yes you can an yes done in the ini

PreventDownloadDinos=False
PreventDownloadItems=False
PreventDownloadSurvivors=False

changing these in gameusersetting
effects what can an cant go onto the map

[languid plank]

thanks man, im gonna save that for later. my buddies arent to happy that they have to start tames and stuff over from scratch but im like well, at least you will have your character so theres that. I might take one item like tek binos over for our breeder guy but thats it.

[distant hearth]

i always just leave it up to the players tbh, so leave it all open .personnally i start fresh on a map becuase i like early game , then transfer in later , couple friends do same, others take everything over

[languid plank]

they wanted to take all of the dinos and everything over but they understand where im going with it an why. its their first time playing the game, so i want them to get the experience of playing it. plus its more like how they do official releases and transfers with a little modifications.

[snow fox]

i can't kill my baby dinos, even if unclaimed. is this because of friendly fire?

[modern finch]

pve and no friendly fire means theres no way to kill em without mods

[olive talon]

If they're claimed and you cannot kill them, yes, it is because friendly fire is turned off.

[snow fox]

you guys rock. thank you!

[fair widget]

Hello. So I play in the unofficial Crossplay server with some mods installed.
For some reason I can't place any additional structures from mods. I can't place anything from Dino+ and from Dwarven builders mod.
As I am placing them down - they just revert back into my inventory. Does anyone know why is that happening? Is that the problem with both mods, or is it some issue that Xbox is preventing me from placing them down? Or is it some server settings or mod collision that causes this?

[modern finch]

mod conflict, i have had that happen with my server, it ended being a mod that we had that was not crossplay that was preventing the function of a crossplay enabled mod

[wise kindle]

Yes mod conflict as otter said. What changed that caused this? What mods or settings have changed? That will usually tell you whats wrong or conflicting. Also check the building mod discords to see if the mods updated recently, some updates can create issues with other mods.

[fair widget]

Thanks both. I will see if I can find which mods are conflicting while using my SP. Then we can do changes in server.

[ruby merlin]

i had to recently remove dwarven buildings mod due to conflict

so start there

[wise kindle]

Same, but it was a while ago. It doesnt like other mods.

[fair widget]

It would make sense, as Nekatus keeps constantly working and updating his mods

[lavish gulch]

Will they ever rise the limit on crossover mods!? 10gbs per server seems lo little to me.

[tepid berry]

When are they actually going to...you know...RELEASE the server updates?!

They've gone through like 5-6 versions now, without actually putting them as available for unofficial servers. Edit: Of course, as I say this, server updates are available on steamcmd! How fortuitous!

[hearty bison]

so i finally wanted to disable the winter wonderland mod, but the passivemods line isn't working ?

[trim yew]

is there a way to make the dedi server use less ram?

[hearty bison]

that down to wildcard and optimisation mainly

[trim yew]

its sad i can run atlas dedi server (with 16 instances for each grid) better than ASA... 1 instnace taking up to 15GB of ram... causing it to shutdown sometimes as the only server machine i can get it to work only has 16gb ram, it wont run on my main server machine with more ram

[wanton hinge]

Okay? ASA is on a new engine, and takes more to run a game server. If it won't run on your main server machine, that has more ram, perhaps you're doing something wrong.

[sand smelt]

I have a question how do I decrease the mating interintervals on beacon for my server I can’t get it to lower than 4hr?

[jade folio]

After the update, is anyone getting a timed out/join failed message?

[late estuary]

Does anyone know what summon dino hats does? Lol

[wheat mirage]

I've been away for a bit, is clustering a thing yet for self hosted or do we know if it's going to be around for when Center drops?

[granite jungle]

Offline Timers not working ? anyone having issues?

[livid latch]

Anyone have know why on my dedicated server when my friend picks up an explorer note, or vise versa, its gone for the other person too?

[mental narwhal]

my world settings were reset some how, and my megatherium had 1k melee and when I joined back it had around 600 only. I never messed with stat levels for dinos, what changed?

[wet river]

My friend on PC has his own non-dedicated server. When I join, it makes me spawn and stay near him. Is there a way to stop that ??

[olive talon]

You would have to rent/host/play an unofficial/dedicated.

[wet river]

If he did that , would he still be able to host and play all from the same PC ??

[olive talon]

Would need to be a decent pc. Check pins for how to host and send him the info

[wet river]

Thanks for the help 🐝 🙂

[jovial surge]

Hello all. I got fed up with the server crashes on official so i broke down and bought a nitrado server. I want to use console commands, i'm a PC player, to get my stuff back to the state it was in on the official game i was playing but i can't figure out how. I've tried googling and watched youtube and I'm still stuck. I've turned on the console command option in game and on nitrado general settings, but they're still not working in game. Can anybody walk me throguh it?

*through

[hexed olive]

Any server owners here who have an issue with controls? Randomly my ps5 people have been showing Xbox controls for their hotbar and to open or imprint or craft the button to press just isn’t there. Was working fine until yesterday.

[trim yew]

my main server is technically the oldest machine i have so Im assuming its just missing dlls to make it run but it just wont launch, ive spent an entire month trying to figure it out, so i just put it on my second server machine

[nova pumice]

So I went back to ark Survival evolved made a cluster through gportal and 80% of the time it says that Fjourdia can't be transferred to even tho it's in the cluster and people can transfer out and I have it so stuff can be brought in does anyone know any idea what could cause this ?

[livid latch]

Nevermind,guess that last update fixed it!

[snow fox]

so, i enabled pvp to be able to kill baby dinos, but now i'm stuck with cryopod restrictions. any workarounds?

[restive pebble]

https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/forums/topic/708761-asa-pc-patch-notes-client-v3315-server-v3347-updated-01172023/#comment-3539525 Look under "Cryopod & Cryofridge Release"

[brittle echo]

so if i want to up the lvl past 150 i need to uncheck the "max difficulty" box correct? because i changed my difficulty offset and nothing changed

[winter edge]

I was stuck looking for the answer to this for a while when I first wanted to use admin commands. You need to use the command enablecheats (admin password)

You can find admin password in nitrado settings, no parenthesis needed

[wise kindle]

Offset should be 1.0, Maxdifficulty=false, overrideofficialdifficulty is what you set to raise levels. 5 is 150, 10 for 300, 20 for 600.

[wise kindle]

Go back to PVE and enable friendly fire. Cryo timers are hard coded in PVP.

[snow fox]

i actually did just that. it's way better, thank you

[pliant rose]

I am having dramas transferring an ASA server save from one server to another (moving from a VM to Docker). The world save works fine and all the structures and dinos are where they should be. The problem is the character saves aren't linking when players are connecting to the server, I have checked that the .arkprofiles are there. Any tips?

[tardy pine]

I dont have a fix but can confirm the behavior. Even on the same machine, character association is lost when booting another server instance.

Very interested in why, and how to fix it

[pliant rose]

Stranger still is my mate hosted the server on his machine first. He sent me the save folder and I set it up on my hardware with no issue at all, now it is broken. Perhaps it was a patch that has broken things.

[distant hearth]

out of curiosity, do you have both worlds running at the same time?

[jovial surge]

i found it on the IGN website about private servers. Thank you

[pliant rose]

I have tried both scenarios

[distant hearth]

ah that counts my thought of the eos id not being happy on two servers then , :/

[pliant rose]

I have also tried both local and external connections to the server. I thought it might have a weird LAN thing.

[distant hearth]

so what happens when player trys to join, they just get prompted to make a new character?

[pliant rose]

Yes.

[coral comet]

Does anyone have a possible solution for Nitrado server stuck in a restart loop? Did the ARKTRIBE file attempt. Didn't work. Contacted support, they attempted something and it didn't work. Waiting to hear back. We got it up once but for some reason four of the mods were removed. We took it down to put them back and it's in a loop again. Been going on about 12 hours now.

[distant hearth]

kinda weird then so its just not registering the .arkprofile,
did try removing your one and replacing it with the backup ?

[distant hearth]

if replacing 4 mods made it boot loop again, do you not think the most obvious cause is one of those 4 mods?

[brittle echo]

So the max difficulty check box needs to be off, got it. But when I looked up how to get 180 dinos it said to do override 6 offset 2, is that correct?

[distant hearth]

you can just do override 6 to get 180 max level dinos

[brittle echo]

So whats the purpose of offset then?

[coral comet]

The four mods were QoL+, Apocalyse Mod, Pelayori's Cryo Storage and Dino Discovery. Dino Discovery didn't get re-added. Working on removing each one and seeing if the server actually starts.

[distant hearth]

its to do with a number of differnt things, that i find complicated to explain , this explains better
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Difficulty

[distant hearth]

sometimes it can be a combination of mods, two just conflict, or one had an update an now conflicts,
using mods made by third party devs on an early access game is never great fun.
Even in ase some mods just wudnt play nice together

[coral comet]

For sure and that was my initial concern when this happened the other day. The server owner (not me, I'm just helping) said he was going to remove all the mods and see if it booted up without them. It seemed to not, I suppose that's why I assumed it wasn't the mods. I've removed Apoc mod, still rebooting loop. Removed QoL+ still in reboot loop.

[distant hearth]

sometimes nitrado servers are just shit too :/
if the server is fresh i.e no player data etc on it yet
simple solution is to install another game to it an see if it boots.
not so simple if has stuff on it though as you then need to have ftp access an backup the world save etc to your own pc .

[coral comet]

It has a good amount of people/progress on it. I did ftp access earlier and did a back up when I was messing with ARKTRIBE files. So I do have a backup saved on my PC. If this mod removal doesn't work, I guess I will just stop the server and let the owner decide tomorrow how to proceed.

[distant hearth]

well atleats you know how to backup manually now, its never a bad idea to do that once a week or so, just so if anything happens you dont lose everything, also copy an past both ini files into a notepad file, so you have those too

[coral comet]

That's a good idea. Will look into doing that tomorrow. I appreciate the input.

[distant hearth]

hope you get it sorted easily , good luck

[bitter bear]

I transfered my server to an upgraded dedicated, Now Im not able to join, Rcon connects, Servers show as online but cant join. Any ideas?

Connection Timed out

[pliant rose]

I'm having the same problem. When I run it on a VM it works fine, in Docker it times out. I can connect using the open cmd (etc open 10.0.0.2:7777)

[rustic zephyr]

hey i will be hosting a private server for my friends, im wondering if there is some kind of setting that will allow me to make engrams unlockable on all maps

i dont want to have to transfer to scorched just to learn the flamethrower recipe, leave and go back to extinctcion

[bitter bear]

Any fix?

[pliant rose]

No, but you should be able to use the open command

[bitter bear]

Ok

Ill see if my buddy who helped setup the dedi can help latrr

[peak sapphire]

Check out https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration specifically in the game.ini section for line EngramEntryAutoUnlocks

[rustic zephyr]

is the rhyno and reaper gestation time affected by the pregnancy speed multiplier?

[bitter bear]

If anyone has a soulution for this dm me

[hearty bison]

Mines worked fine transferring dinos between island and svart maps for self hosted servers

[hearty bison]

Yeah, my rhynio was only incubating for about 20 mins

[hearty bison]

Anyone else had this issue ?

[bitter bear]

Open doesn’t work either

Might be a port forwarding issue ig

[distant hearth]

how are you adding the passive mod cmd, it definetely works , so expect an issue with how the server is told to start

[fair widget]

So I tried all the server mods on my SP on Xbox, and everything worked. So I am not sure if it's actually mod Conflict. Our server boss said that maybe some APIs ar doing it.
So now I guess we should pop up the test server and see it from there what it does.

[hearty bison]

Just in the server start.bat after the '-mods=927090 -passivemods=927090' as per the patch notes

[distant hearth]

i dont think it should have apostophe around , try without
or try -passivemod=927090
there is some confusion around which one it supposed be ,passivemods or passivemod also

[hearty bison]

It doesn't have apostrophes in the bat file, I was just using that to show what I have in there

Might try without the s though as you say

[distant hearth]

im just testing it now on a test server , so can let you know in a few mins

[hearty bison]

Perfect cheers, I'm at work atm (busy, clearly 😅) so can't check just yet

I think I know the issue, I have just read the patch notes again and it says about the passivemod ID's being listed first, I missed that, so I don't think it's actually first in my list of -mods= that'll be it 🤦‍♂️ apologies

I know they showed it in the example I was just being a muppet and assuming that was their example of the general cmnds

[vocal saffron]

How do I make my weight go higher then 10 per lvl in nitrado server?

[distant hearth]

its related to theese lines in game.ini

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[7]=1
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[7]=1

[7] is the stat to change so here the 7 denotes weight , =1 is default, higher increases the amount per level put into the stat

[leaden mauve]

hey there I created a non dedicated server but it shows connection timeout if my friend tries to join

[distant hearth]

asa or ase? both using the same platform i.e steam to steam , xbox to xbox

[leaden mauve]

epic to epic

ase

[distant hearth]

not sure about epic, i seem rem something about needing to join using the ip adresses but that might have been for dedicated servers , sry

[leaden mauve]

no worries appreciate the help

[nimble wagon]

Anyone know how to raise the player level cap ? i tried copy off nitrado and didnt work seems to be stuck at lvl 135 was hoping add 250 levels?

[celest halo]

its hard capped on ASA right now, we hoping they rase it when new maps come out

[nimble wagon]

Ah so we stuck at 135 till next map comes out?

[tiny aspen]

Hey all, I was wondering. I'm trying to run some more advertising to attract more people as I would love to expand my cluster/community even further. However, what kind of advertisement techniques do you all use? The current ways I'm trying to attract potential players seems to be running dry like a well 😅

[olive talon]

Look around at the #1110925695900713072

[tiny aspen]

Thank you for the suggestion! I have been an avid poster in #1110925695900713072 for the past 2 years but I was just wondering about other places/techniques people use 😅

[olive talon]

Reddit is pretty commanly used, but I've seen people use Facebook and Twitter tooi

[tiny aspen]

Starting to think I'm gonna need to recruit an advertisement staff member to send all over the place hahaha^^

Hmm I think it's time to branch out to a social media account then I post on Reddit too which has helped in the past. Thank you!^^

[distant hearth]

so ermm, can anyone explain to me why this update bat file wont work as intended despite the internet says it shud

start D:\SteamCMD\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir D:\steamcmd\steamapps\common\ARK Survival Ascended Dedicated Server\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64 +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate +quit

What it does install an entirely new server onto my d drive in steamcmd\steamapps\common to a folder called "ark"
no where am i telling it to do that ?
rather than update the server in the location i have(same location as i specify in the bat file )
i can make it update my server in its actual location if i just remove +force_install_dir
but i dont understand why

[tardy pine]

I cancheck in on my PC in a bit. But why would you want to install a new copy of the game in the binaries folder?

Binaries/win64

[distant hearth]

i dont thats the point, what i wanted it to do was update my current server,
what it did , was what i explained

[tiny aspen]

Just FYI, you do not have to install a dedicated server in the steamCMD folder necessarily

You can install it anywhere as long as the filepath for the bat file points to it

Also what Moondoggie said This bat file will not update the "Ark Survival Ascended Dedicated Server" folder but it will install a fresh copy of the server in the Win64 folder

[distant hearth]

yea i figured that much now , but its just where i originally installed it following guides on internet tbh so it got left there

[tardy pine]

I think it was an issue with quotes, your path has spaces in it so you need to quote off the path

start D:\SteamCMD\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir "D:\steamcmd\steamapps\common\ARK Survival Ascended Dedicated Server" +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate +quit

I also removed the \ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64 bit from the path

[distant hearth]

ahh thx , that might well be it, i shall retry as u suggest, kinda makes sense

[tiny aspen]

I would recommend windows hosts to use PowerShellGSM tool

Been using it and works like a charm. Auto-reboot, crash reboot, update & backups etc.

[distant hearth]

i only wanted to know , becuase some where i read it was best too use force_install_dir
not sure why tbh

[tiny aspen]

Force install dir tells steamCMD that it should use that location for whatever you want it to do

[tardy pine]

That does sound handy, I'll check it out. I wrote a nodejs discord bot for mine so I can manage it from anywhere but maybe I can find something cool in the powershell utility

[tiny aspen]

Does the bot run on the same device? I've been looking for an alternative to allow my staff to manage the servers remotely but the bot I built runs on a different device in the network 😅

[distant hearth]

thank you, i thought it was like , force install a new directory of that name if it wasnt there

[tiny aspen]

I'm afraid I'll need to dig into SSH protocols to activate .bat files remotely ugh

[distant hearth]

im not good at all this bloody tech stuff tbh, slowly learning 🙂

[tiny aspen]

We all started somewhere W1llz, good luck^^

[tardy pine]

It would need to run on the same device for filesystem access. I guess you could manage filesystem stuff over the network if your on the same subnet but that can get hairy

[tiny aspen]

Yeah I don't like hairy hahaha, but I want to keep the bot there so I guess I have no choice 😛

gonna be fun

[tardy pine]

You'll get there man, I seem to remember you helping me at some point so. We all start somewhere

[tiny aspen]

I remember when I started to host my cluster, man it was complicated hahaha

[distant hearth]

i know the server ini files from years of doing xbox nitrado servers,
i eventually want my own asa cluster not on nitrado lol

[tiny aspen]

It gets better though, 2+ years in and a TON of improvements later^^

Yeah self-host is the best way, it takes more maintenance/work from your side but it pays off as you own the full machine

[tardy pine]

On the machines running the servers, as long as your on the same subnet you could technically make some web functions on those machines and make http calls to them vie the bot. You could do that even if your on a different subnet but then you have to worry about encryption and security

[tiny aspen]

Been running 13 ASE maps and 2 ASA maps nowadays, linking them/chat and adding a ton of utility

[tiny aspen]

Hmm my set up is on the same subnet so that sounds doable

I was thinking along the lines of linking them together through SSH and then execute the bat files or something similar

Another downside is that i have to bridge operating systems as well hahaha

Linux -> Win 💀

[tardy pine]

http takes that out of the equation

[tiny aspen]

Hmmm

[tardy pine]

windows pro versions have iis natively, you just have to turn it on and configure it. linux can run apache, and last I checked apache was free

[tiny aspen]

oh that sounds interesting

I think I already installed apache on the linux host, been using it for my databases and such 😅

I'll probably build a dashboard for my bot then, sending HTTP requests back and forth between the devices

should make life for my staff members way easier hahaha^^

[tardy pine]

with http it doesnt matter where you come from, you just send the request

var myJSONObject = { ... };
request({
    url: "ip.address.to.ark.server",
    method: "POST",
    json: true,
    body: myJSONObject // contains a line of data "reboot", "send mesage", "whatever"
}, function (error, response, body){
    console.log(response);
});```

and the webservice thats running on the target machine does the rest

[tardy pine]

It would for sure

[tiny aspen]

I wrote my bot in Python (not a JS expert 😛 ) so I'll use the equivalent but thank you for the info^^

Networking wasn't my major but trying to keep up hehe

[tardy pine]

It would be almost the same but without brackets lol

Stackexchange is our friend "D

[tiny aspen]

Yupp 😄

[tardy pine]

How did you link the chats?

[tiny aspen]

how is this processed server-side though? does it contain a JSON object that will execute the bat file?

[tardy pine]

It sends the "payload" (json file with the command data), and the webservice on the other side catches that, reads the json, and executes server side

[tiny aspen]

Hmmm I see... Do you have an example JSON file or is that just easily available online? 😅

[tiny aspen]

I'm using the NGC plugin (formerly known as KalsCrossChat), works pretty smoothly but takes a little while setting everything up

and you'll need a DB, I think preferrably innoDB/MariaDB

I did write my own chat implementation in my bot but it was.. clunky hehe

Becoming sarcastic & repeating everyone's messages in true irony

[tardy pine]

doesnt have to be anything crazy

{
"command": "Broadcast",
"commandData": "The Server Will Reboot In 10 Minutes"
}

[tiny aspen]

ooooooooooooooohh

Does it interact with the servers through RCON?

[tardy pine]

It could, rcon can already be called over a network though so if thats your goal you can already do that without webserver stuff

Might have been a bad example, you could also make calls or steamcmd or whatever else

[tiny aspen]

Yeah that's what I was thinking, I already have RCON functionality 😛

I see I see Then I guess if I can find a way to make the request execute a .cmd file then I'm golden

[tardy pine]

like make it start a batch file? you can for sure

[tardy pine]

Thank you!

[tiny aspen]

No worries! If you need an invite just let me know and I can send you one from the server

[tardy pine]

FOr the chat utility? I havent seen a server for it yet so if you have an invite I'd love it

[tiny aspen]

You should have the DM^^ Thanks for providing me with some insight into HTTP requests!

I guess I'm gonna learn some networking hehe

[tardy pine]

Happy to help out! And appreciate the info on cross chat

[tiny aspen]

No worries

[tardy pine]

The hardest part there would be making the webservice that handles the requests. SHould be pretty simple in contrast to most webservices though

[tiny aspen]

Hmm yeah, it's probably gonna be difficult for me in windows' side

The requests in Python shouldn't be too hard

[tiny aspen]

Just a quick question to make it slightly easier for me to understand, but did you make an ASP.NET .aspx file to handle incoming HTTP requests on your host server?

[tardy pine]

Yeah the aspx file holds the methods to handle the requests if I remember right

[tiny aspen]

yeah thanks, that clears some things up then. guess it's time to do some digging

[tardy pine]

ChatGPT dude

[jade folio]

For some reason I can’t log into my self hosted server after updating my Xbox. Can someone with time to kill PM me and see if they can join my server? I see it listed but I get a join failed timeout error after it sits for about 2 mins

[tiny aspen]

Amen 🙏

[tiny aspen]

is it crossplay? If so I can help

[jade folio]

I believe so. Im using the SteamCMD on the pc and playing with my Xbox

[tiny aspen]

Are your ports forwarded & firewall open for inbound connections?

[jade folio]

Yep. No problems until after I updated my Xbox last night

[tiny aspen]

hmmm

[distant hearth]

server is on v33xx?

[jade folio]

33.47 and the Xbox is 33.38 I believe

[distant hearth]

ya long as major version match it aint that .

done the usual, restart router, restart console etc?

i always hate asking, but switch it on an off works more often than not lolz

[jade folio]

Yes doing another restart right now. I use a Mac and I added boot camp just for Ark so updated the Mac side and the windows side and restarting now

Restarted router last night and this morning. Next step is to call Comcast

I kept the winter wonderland mod. Doubt that made a difference

[tiny aspen]

That won't make a difference, I still got it running on multiple ASA servers for my cluster and it works fine

I can test join for you if you need someone to verify

[jade folio]

Perfect. Thanks. Let me finish the restart

[tiny aspen]

secretly seeps in an ad for my cluster in the global chat

😂

[distant hearth]

you can try join via open the ip in single player also but im not sure it helps much when u cud join before tbh .
Kinda weird that updating the xbox made it stop working, i can also try test it but im also on steam

is it a series s or x ? just remebered alot people had trouble connecting to unofficials that had mods running with a series s

[jade folio]

Both. I play with my daughter. I have the x and she has the s.

[distant hearth]

both consoles wont connect ?

[jade folio]

Same timeout and we are all in the same household as the server. Server and my Xbox have Ethernet connections

[distant hearth]

i got timed out too, which would suggest its an issue server side

port 7777udp needs to be forwarded for asa , unless u tell it otherwise in the start cmd

[jade folio]

Thank you! I’ll try to start over from scratch tomorrow.

Thanks everyone for your help

[distant hearth]

np hope u get it sussed out, if not post back, someone will help figure it out

[jade folio]

I have a meeting in a few mins so I’ll probably start working on it during the meeting lol

[tardy pine]

my man

[sweet bridge]

hey everyone. Anyone here running a dedicated ASA server on hetzner that could give me a few pointers?

[stable obsidian]

@celest halo @distant hearth @tardy pine

thank you so much
My server is working again!

[distant hearth]

googling hetzner , its just a german server provider, so u will need to give more info on what you rented, is it widnows or linux wud be a good starting point

[tardy pine]

Another thing I noticed, foliage is in the bases and growing through buildings. It seems all the previously cleared resource nodes lose their status as well. Have you seen this?

[sweet bridge]

@distant hearth I haven't rented yet. Exactly why I was looking for someone, not necessarily on hetzner maybe, but running dedicated servers who could point me in the right direction in terms of better OS (was thinking about ubuntu) and processor/ram

maps will soon start coming out and renting a server per map on nitrado is a waste of money

[tardy pine]

For a rented server, Linux might not be a good idea as you would also have to stand up window's compatible infrastructure on the VM. ASA does not support Linux right now and the additional software needed might raise the prices on compute. So a windows VM would be ideal. You don't need "Windows Server OS" but a VM with Windows Pro would be fine.

[sweet bridge]

well since its mainly going to be for ark, and maybe a new game coming out, windows might be better then. just gotta check for licence prices

any game server managers already working properly with ASA or is it better to run it yourself?

[tardy pine]

For CPU and ram, you will want at 6-8 cores if your running multiple maps. My ASA server doesn't use more then 10 gigs of ram, it usually runs between 4-6 gigs. They recommend 16 gigs per server though.

[sweet bridge]

so ryzen cpu

[tardy pine]

Someone mentioned a PowerShell GSM that works good above. That was in a message in this channel from today

[tardy pine]

Mine runs on a ryzen 7 5700G with 32 gigs and we never have a drop of lag

[sweet bridge]

Dedicated or vps?

Sorry for so many questions, don't wanna waste money 😅

[tardy pine]

I have a computer in my closed running dedicated servers 😄

I have so many for different games that I wouldnt want to pay for usage haha. Might go broke

[sweet bridge]

hahaha makes sense

so dedicated

[distant hearth]

other than the in game , non-dedi host option thats glorified single player , every other server is dedictaed .
Its dedicated to the task of running ark server .
officials-dedicated , nitrado-dedicated, player owned- dedicated

might be u own the hardware or rent it from a company, but you have to do the install, its still dedicated to that task

[sweet bridge]

what I mean by dedicated is not having shared resources aka VPS

with other game servers from other people

but yeah I know what you mean 🙂

[distant hearth]

dedicated share resources, i think, unless there in there own vm or docker is it on linux? idk, im not familiar with it all, learning.
same boat as you , want my own servers once a few more maps open up

[sweet bridge]

exactly. too expensive to set up a cluster using nitrado or any other "per server" rental price

[serene ibex]

Fellas is there an Option to turn off the 0 food thing after downloading the titan bc i cant keep him after downloading him

[distant hearth]

my internet sucks, otherwise id just get my own hardware, i can make a server run on my windows pc, but usueless other than testing with my shit internet haha.
so im just learning how to set it all up an get running etc

[tardy pine]

If your not going to have full servers, and have under 10 players per map. I imagine you can run 4 servers on 32 gigs of ram and around 8 cores.

[sweet bridge]

I actually have a great internet connecting but no hardware to set it up on atm and cant afford to upfront buy a whole pc just to run as a server atm

[tardy pine]

It can be a fairly cheap PC. Any VPS with those kind of specs is going to charge a smooth $100+ per month

[distant hearth]

1 instance of an ark server will run off 16gb ram an a quad core cpu very well , suprinsingly cheap s/h

[tardy pine]

Might be cheaper to put that $100 per month in to building a rig

[sweet bridge]

well on hetzner is around 50 on their auctions, I see a lot of people online giving them great reviews for price/quality actually

even cheaper for a quad core intel i7 7700

[tardy pine]

quad would probably run a couple servers

[sweet bridge]

ryzen 8 cores go for 50eur +-

[distant hearth]

if u go into actually building a server rather than just pc, it can be done supringsly cheap from what others have said

[sweet bridge]

really? its cheaper?

[tardy pine]

dont even need a server. windows 10/11 pro is all u need. Pro has RDP and IIS built in

regular windows PC runs it fine

[distant hearth]

fnot for 1 or 2 servers, but if u looking at mutiples yea i believe so ,

[distant hearth]

yea an win 10 is free if u just dont activate it

[tardy pine]

sure is

[sweet bridge]

true

thks for the help guys, need to bounce for a bit!

[distant hearth]

i have a ryzen 5 3600, 32gb ddr4 3600mhz ram and (2080ti) , runs a server an the game no issues, i mention the gpu as its needed to play the game but not to run server

i might actually play around tomoz, if i finnish work early an see how many servers it can run, kinda dumb test when theres no load on them i gues sthough

[mental lava]

anyone have a min to assist me and look at my line for changing supply drop contents... i cant figure out what i got wrong

[distant hearth]

sure just post it here

[mental lava]

ConfigOverrideSupplyCrateItems=
(SupplyCrateClassString="SupplyCrate_Level03_C",MinItemSets=1,MaxItemSets=1,NumItemSetsPower=1.0,bSetsRandomWithoutReplacement=true,ItemSets=((MinNumItems=3,MaxNumItems=5,NumItemsPower=1.0,SetWeight=1.0,bItemsRandomWithoutReplacement=true,ItemEntries=((EntryWeight=1.0,ItemClassStrings=("PrimalItemResource_ElementShard_C"),ItemsWeights=(1.0),MinQuantity=200.0,MaxQuantity=250.0,MinQuality=1.0,MaxQuality=1.0,bForceBlueprint=false,ChanceToBeBlueprintOverride=0.0),
(SupplyCrateClassString="SupplyCrate_Level03_Double_C",MinItemSets=1,MaxItemSets=1,NumItemSetsPower=1.0,bSetsRandomWithoutReplacement=true,ItemSets=((MinNumItems=3,MaxNumItems=5,NumItemsPower=1.0,SetWeight=1.0,bItemsRandomWithoutReplacement=true,ItemEntries=((EntryWeight=1.0,ItemClassStrings=("PrimalItemResource_Element_C"),ItemsWeights=(1.0),MinQuantity=150.0,MaxQuantity=200.0,MinQuality=1.0,MaxQuality=1.0,bForceBlueprint=false,ChanceToBeBlueprintOverride=0.0),

or did u want the whole file?

[distant hearth]

just that is fine, what you trying to achieve, add a chance for 200-250 shards too red drops and element 150-200 to red ring drops right ?
asa or ase?

[mental lava]

asa and 200-250 shard to white normal and 150 to 200normal element on white with red ring

[distant hearth]

the issue is the weights are off

[serene ibex]

?

[mental lava]

so i need to set the number to 0.01 ( weight of one from wiki)?

[distant hearth]

editing drops without beacon is a pain in the arse, the weights are a pain , atleast for me , i just have to do it in beacon an alter them , keep using its simulator for ase

asa drops , no one is certain yet what they are , but id think if you use an entryweight of 1000 it wud givea chance to drop the element/shards

im not certain but it might be if you weighted at say 5000 it wud outweigh everything else an guarntee to drop with each

[mental lava]

what is beacon?

[distant hearth]

ark beacon omni , its an excellent program for ark server settings, there is a free and paid version

[mental lava]

ok also what youre saying is the wieght in the line is like the chance of getting that in the drop?

[distant hearth]

ConfigOverrideSupplyCrateItems=
(SupplyCrateClassString="SupplyCrate_Level03_C",MinItemSets=1,MaxItemSets=1,NumItemSetsPower=1.0,bSetsRandomWithoutReplacement=true,ItemSets=((MinNumItems=3,MaxNumItems=5,NumItemsPower=1.0,SetWeight=1.0,bItemsRandomWithoutReplacement=true,ItemEntries=((EntryWeight=5000,ItemClassStrings=("PrimalItemResource_ElementShard_C"),ItemsWeights=(1.0),MinQuantity=200.0,MaxQuantity=250.0,MinQuality=1.0,MaxQuality=1.0,bForceBlueprint=false,ChanceToBeBlueprintOverride=0.0),
(SupplyCrateClassString="SupplyCrate_Level03_Double_C",MinItemSets=1,MaxItemSets=1,NumItemSetsPower=1.0,bSetsRandomWithoutReplacement=true,ItemSets=((MinNumItems=3,MaxNumItems=5,NumItemsPower=1.0,SetWeight=1.0,bItemsRandomWithoutReplacement=true,ItemEntries=((EntryWeight=5000,ItemClassStrings=("PrimalItemResource_Element_C"),ItemsWeights=(1.0),MinQuantity=150.0,MaxQuantity=200.0,MinQuality=1.0,MaxQuality=1.0,bForceBlueprint=false,ChanceToBeBlueprintOverride=0.0)

becuase your adding to the existing supply crate loot table, u need the weights to balance

asa seems to maybe use 1000 as its highest set weight an i think 250 lowest , so with your set weights at 1
they just never can have a chance to spawn

[mental lava]

i think i understand now thank you

[distant hearth]

in my example i set them to 5000, i do not know if this will work as havent teste dit, but in theory , your item out weighs everything else , so it will always spawn in the drop, as it heavier than every other item that has a chance to be picked

[mental lava]

well i've put it in now and ill try it after supper want me to let you know if it works?

[distant hearth]

yea sure , i also just noticed it wont work as is , as you missing some closing brackets )))

for each bracket open( it needs to close )

[mental lava]

confused now idk where they would go

[distant hearth]

go eat, i do it in beacon an post here how shud work

[mental lava]

lol ok thank you

[void plover]

im having issues with mods either not loading even though i've installed them through the mod list, or they keep installing themselves over and over and over again. and yes ive uninstalled them and reinstalled them... uninstalled and closed out the game and verified all files, reloaded the game and reinstalled the mods... still same thing.. the ones that keep reinstalling themsleves over and over when looking at them in the mod list say invalid. they were fine yesterday. is there any way to fix this??

[distant hearth]

something like this might work , i generated it in beacon app

ConfigOverrideSupplyCrateItems=(SupplyCrateClassString="SupplyCrate_Level03_C",bAppendItemSets=True,ItemSets=((SetName="shards",MinNumItems=1,MaxNumItems=1,NumItemsPower=1,SetWeight=5000,bItemsRandomWithoutReplacement=True,ItemEntries=((EntryWeight=1000,ItemClassStrings=("PrimalItemResource_ElementShard_C"),ItemsWeights=(50),MinQuantity=200,MaxQuantity=250,MinQuality=1,MaxQuality=1,bApplyQuantityToSingleItem=True,bForceBlueprint=False,ChanceToBeBlueprintOverride=0)))))

ConfigOverrideSupplyCrateItems=(SupplyCrateClassString="SupplyCrate_Level03_Double_C",bAppendItemSets=True,ItemSets=((SetName="element",MinNumItems=1,MaxNumItems=1,NumItemsPower=1,SetWeight=5000,bItemsRandomWithoutReplacement=True,ItemEntries=((EntryWeight=1000,ItemClassStrings=("PrimalItemResource_Element_C"),ItemsWeights=(50),MinQuantity=150,MaxQuantity=250,MinQuality=1,MaxQuality=1,bApplyQuantityToSingleItem=True,bForceBlueprint=False,ChanceToBeBlueprintOverride=0)))))

you can see from these examples the need for the closing brackets at the end for each opened one that isn't already closed

sry im not good at explaining, but i try to help as you tried hard to do it through the wiki

[wise kindle]

You probably have a mod mismatch. Best to uninstall them locally and let your server install the server version for you. A day or two it should update and have the same version. @void plover

[distant hearth]

i had this issue an had to just delete my mods folder an reinstall them , if that helps , worked fine after

[mental lava]

i appreciate the help ill try this and let you know

[distant hearth]

yea , it might not do exactly what u wanted , but it shud help to get the idea of what needs to be done 🙂

[void plover]

Been there done that.. they keep wanting to download. cause they don't show installed. that is when i go instead to my mod list and install them again. but it still wants to download. also my big issue is the timeout/client not responding bs that WC still has not fixed.

[void plover]

i've tried that also.

[distant hearth]

so here was what i did, uninstallled the ones i cud in game, closed then game ,
opened the file location shootergame/binaries/win64/shootergame
deleted both mods an moduserdata
cleared cache in steam, restarted steam ,

then was all good when i installed the mods i wanted next time

[wise kindle]

Thats just it - dont install from your list. Just let the game install them. The version from your list is a different version from the server list. Thats the version mismatch. To play on that map, let the server install it, walk away and let it run. Otherwise you are just going in circles. To clarify: remove the local mods and let the server install the version it wants to see.

If you are on pc, do what W1ll is saying. It removes it locally. Then join the map and let it run.

[void plover]

and the problem is i have done that also. still when i have to restart trying to join it shows download each and every time. for some strange reason.

[distant hearth]

its just the weird way it handles the mismatch now, instead of just not joining, it downloads, newer or older version

[wise kindle]

Unless you are interrupting the install it wont prompt twice. Let it run.

Patience is key.

[void plover]

it only seems to do this after each time WC has done a damn update that they owners have gone and updated on the server... and im thinking the mods get broken.

[distant hearth]

exactly what happens, itsa constant thing with mods , they get updated , game get updated, mod has to update etc etc

server needs the updated version , all takes time to line up, then another update

[void plover]

right

[distant hearth]

is better now, in ase, you wudnt get on the server

[void plover]

WC still has yet to fix the timeout/client not responding issue since the beginning of the game

[distant hearth]

heh speaking of updates , my game just started one

[void plover]

no I still have issues even getting on any server. takes about an hour of constant timeouts to even get in.

[void plover]

funny i don't see a patch

[distant hearth]

never had it take that long but in ase , with mismatch, u wudnt get on at all

[void plover]

i didn't have those issues with ase.. id uninstall mod then reinstall it and have no issues

[tardy pine]

whats your ping and speeds on speedtest.net??

[distant hearth]

well mines updating, soooo... id exxpect it comes across everywhere soon .
steam is funny with updates, sometimes just have restart it to get it to tske

[void plover]

i don't see how that will help.. doesn't it matter where im trying to connect to?? if i don't know where the servers are how am i supposed to ping it?? im usually ping closest to me at a 30 to comcast if i chose chicago.. but now with one on purdue campus it pings less.

[distant hearth]

oo look patch notes ::) atleast they fixing some things

[void plover]

now WC Ark Discord shows there was a patch

[distant hearth]

yea , they never do things in a sensible order

an hours notice wud be nice, especially on major versions or client side updates

[void plover]

right

[void plover]

yea.

[distant hearth]

now will need 3 patches to fix the update that fixed the patch that broke the update

[void plover]

and new patches to mods that the update broke.

again

[distant hearth]

lolz 🙂 reason why i dont have many mods

[tardy pine]

If it effects all servers you try to join I was thinking it could be your connection. But 30 is decent. Have you tried nuking the game on your pc and redownloading it? And by nuking I mean also deleting the userdata

[wise kindle]

We have dropped several mods simply cuz they have too much churn. Its not worth the constant issues.

[void plover]

yep been there done that... that didn't help the constant timeouts... ive seen on the bug forums im not the only one with this issue since the game dropped. Only thing i can think of is it is a battle eye bug cause it only happens when battle eye is being used on load up... but the servers i want to join require battle eye. one of those servers is AL's servers.

[tardy pine]

Also assume you have removed battleye completely? Even manually deleted the "BattlEye" folder in C:\Users\%username%\Appdata\Local?

Then reinstalled?

[void plover]

that i didn't do.

[sonic pawn]

ok anyone know if it possible to set up clusters on ASA dedis yet?

[tardy pine]

I sure do know

The answer is no. Officials get it on the 24th

Hope we do to... getting tired of getting shit on by wildcard

[void plover]

they have not done that yet... not till next week

[sonic pawn]

ah ty for info 🙂

[void plover]

question is when they do will The Center drop at the same time. We know SE drops in Feb. But they said The Center is suppose to drop first.

But we will see

[sonic pawn]

didnt SE get delayed till end of march early april

[void plover]

I hadn't see that

[distant hearth]

transfeers eta 24th jan
centre eta feb
scortched eta april 1st

as of the last community crunch

[void plover]

With WC you never know what is going to drop when

[sonic pawn]

ye they said release date of Se is april 1st if i remember correctly

true it is WC so maybe it be June

[celest halo]

they starting there April Fools joke early for Scortched lol

[void plover]

doing that now. removed game again.. and removed that folder

reinstalling now

[tardy pine]

Remove game save folder also, all of it. configs are stored in there

[void plover]

i removed the complete folder.

[tardy pine]

Cool. Trying to find if any other folders are hidden somewhere

Not seeing any but I'll keep looking. SOmething is wrong with your client software somewhere

[void plover]

we will see.

[distant hearth]

thats what i said its genius move,
if they dont release, haha april fool
if they release on time , hahah fooled all you thought it wud be delayed

[wise kindle]

Oh god. Oh dear god. No please no. Lmao thats hilarious and terrible.

[distant hearth]

its only thing makes sense to give that date

[celest halo]

or joke be here it is, but it just crashes over and over after 30min

[autumn spade]

There is no other server host that I am aware of because of the WC - Nitrado deal. They have exclusive rights for 7 years.

[tacit ether]

There is other hosting options.. just have to look

[distant hearth]

you can use any server host, just have to set it up yourself and not have shitrados laagy ui

[wise kindle]

There are other ones that are scams yes, but none for ASA that are legal. Wait a couple years and more will pop up as the agreement expires.

[tacit ether]

If you're using Nitrado, you just gave up looking and settled for garbage

[wise kindle]

Just selfhost, no need to poop on others bro.

[distant hearth]

i understand why people use nitrado, its not easy to find the correct info on setting yhe servers up tbh

but deal with nitrado long enough an you will find alternate ways lolz

[tardy pine]

Pretty much forced to if you want players.
Go to the server browser, don't search anything, just hit refresh. Sort by players high to low. Nitrado servers are full.

Now check the "Show Player Servers" check box, hit refresh as many times as you want, most servers wont have more then 6 players at best, and there will only be a few that have more then 0 players

The "Exploit" they fixed with that was us self hosters impacting Nitrados money.
Would love someone to prove me wrong

[deep flower]

No, that sounds about right.

Show Player Servers is the most crooked thing I have ever seen.

[raven wigeon]

lol the updates aren't even being released for private hosts!

[celest halo]

v33.49 was released for unofficials

[raven wigeon]

really? coz mine doesnt update

[tribal swallow]

Hi guys, a stupid question sorry… can i play cross play ps5 windows in pve?

[raven wigeon]

@celest halo mine doesnt go hight than 33.34

[celest halo]

mine did Guardian of the Ark BOT — Today at 7:05 PM :floppy_disk: Version Update :floppy_disk: Stolens Playground has been updated to version: 33.49

[raven wigeon]

@celest halo u on nitrado??

[celest halo]

nope

[raven wigeon]

well

update not up for me!

[tribal swallow]

Pls guys

[wise kindle]

In ASA? Or in ASE? On a dedi in ASA yes. For ASE no, PS will not xplay with anything but PS in ASE.

[wise kindle]

We are on Nirado, it updated last night to 33.47 with the reboot I believe. I just rebooted my test map and its on 33.49.

[raven wigeon]

@wise kindle i have my own dedicated server on my own datacenter

And its not updating, dunno if any1 has the same pronlem tho

[wise kindle]

oof idk then, it should be out there among the living

If it hits unofficial Nitrado then its live for everyone.

[void plover]

well it just finished installing ... lets see what happens...

[void plover]

still not getting all mods to completely download.. and still getting timeout issues. this is on Aaron's server.

the only mod now shows installed but out of date

and now i know pw is right but its saying pw is invalid. and i know it's not

and we are back to showing it not installed ... it's the landscape mod. yes ive uninstalled it... let the server install it... i go to my list and it shows as out of date.

[tardy pine]

have you tried joining a server without mods before going all in on the mods?

you can try joining mine for a minute if you want, I only have the winter wonderland mod on it. "Stoner Island [NA - 3X - Small Tribe]", no password. Might help narrow down if its really a problem with your system or with all the mods

[wheat mirage]

Thanks for the info!

[tardy pine]

Careful, it's glitchy as hell right now. It's been there from the start but you can lose a lot of dinos doing that, especially if the dino names are not different

[wheat mirage]

Okay, that's definitely good to know. Thank you

[void plover]

i don't think it's the mods.. i don't have any issues with timeouts or crap on servers that don't require battle eye and i can join without using it on startup even those with mods.

cause i have even been having that issue on official

[tardy pine]

Ohh that sucks.

[void plover]

that is what lead me to believe it's battle eye

[celest halo]

you try disabling any virus/malware scanners you have

[void plover]

you think AVG is causing it??

it never had an issue with it on ASE.

[celest halo]

some AVG and battleye dont play nice together

[void plover]

It's the only one i leave on .. no i don't use Norton or the other crap one at all... i disabled all my others.

[celest halo]

windows 11, windows defender dont play nice with it either lol

[void plover]

i don't have windows 11

i never thought about AVG and the new updated battle eye having issues together.

[lime matrix]

Anything dealing with mods requires both the server and the client to have the same versions. The only way to ensure that on both is to delete the mod folders for every mod update and download fresh files as the version control implementation is utter crap. In the most extreme case having a client attempt to connect to a server that has a newer version than the client will cause the server to crash on a stack overflow exception trying to upload it's version to the person who hasn't bothered to update their mod before connecting.

[void plover]

yes we have been though this..(if you had scrolled up) i've done that. i've completely uninstalled the game, got rid of all folders, then reinstalled the game and let the server download their mods... the issue is there are mods that still show out of date even though they show installed and have been updated on my end but when i time out or (kicked by battle eye : client not responding) it then either shows as out of date or invalid. i then uninstall the mod and try to let the server install it again.. same thing. and yes i now have AVG turned off and im still getting kicked by battle eye : client not responding.. or timing out.. the issues with the mod is the game broke it as i was able to get in Aaron's server (before i timed out) right before this latest patch.

[lime matrix]

Tried reading through the above but didn't catch if the mod folders on the server itself were deleted and the server rebooted to install fresh files on said server

[void plover]

it's not my server.. im trying to join Aaron's servers. his has not been updated yet.

[lime matrix]

Ah, that may your issue then. I've seen these infinite installation loops on my own servers I self host. Usually takes both locations to resolve

[void plover]

by all of my folders were deleted and game uninstalled ... so either the server has to update it's mod .. or the mod needs to be updated by creator.

but again... you know WC love to break mods.

[lime matrix]

Or plugins....that happens time to time too

least they haven't done the pdb version issue that one time they did on ase and broke every server with plugins

But yeah, if you've deleted your mod folders already I'd guarantee the server needs to do the same to rectify the issue

Least on the mod portion

[void plover]

that doesn't fix my other issue with the timeouts and client not responding issues being kicked by battle eye.

[vocal herald]

does anyone know of a plugin or mod for ascended that works similarly to 'ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer' config?
(Wiki says its not currently working for ascended, I swear it worked to increase our spino spawns but nothing else seems to be working with it 😦 )

[topaz cape]

Here on ascended but my server is just not spawning any giga's nothing I have prevent hibernation I have everything yet nothing and same is for Titanosaurs and as well my windows for the server is just white and permanently minimized

[void plover]

YEA ... im not getting that server up at all

and apparently it doesn't matter if i have battle eye on or off for the time out issues. guess it's just a bug some of us have been having that still is not fixed or wont be fixed.

[solemn zephyr]

AVG is hot trash. Windows defender is league's better.

[regal star]

So I’m still have problems with wild Dino’s killing humans fast low lvl and all when I look through the tek binoculars it show that the melee damage is 15100 as a wild Dino melee how can I fix this issue

[tardy pine]

Have to check the "Show Player Servers" check box

[humble thicket]

I have a “creative” server setup for ppl who love creative mode only prob is they can’t push creative mode on the pause menu they need admin password is there anyway I can bypass this in the ini

[void plover]

AHHH... ok

[shy dust]

There is an option in the ini settings to turn on creative mode. It might even be in the general settings on Nitrado.

[spiral palm]

I have a friend looking to buy A:SA on PS5, and they want to join my unnofficial server that we use Steam to connect to. They'll be able to join us via crossplay with no issue right? Or are there some special settings I need to set in the .ini to get it working?

[tardy pine]

No settings by default. But if you run mods they have to be compatible with PS5

[spiral palm]

Ah okay, ty. Just making sure cause I thought not.

[peak sapphire]

Anyone getting overspawn issues? My server’s ping is 20-30 higher than usual as of yesterday with no changes to any settings or additional mods. While mods may be the suspect, running a wild dino wipe knocked the ping back down to its usual amount so that’s why I figured it was an overspawn issue. The ping rose back up after just an hour. Head scratchy stuff.

[humble thicket]

Not using Nitrado hosting through pc lol

[desert jasper]

Morning all. Updated our server (non-Nitrado) to v33.49 this morning and all went well. However, our server no longer shows in the in-game browser.
Anyone else having this issue after patching?

[lusty hemlock]

IS there a way to change the time it takes for beer to produce?

[wicked vigil]

Any reason to a cause as to why an Unofficial server would crash (Lost connection/Timeout to host) like 4-6 times a day? Is that normal on ASA on an established server?

What's the best cryopod mod for pvp?

Also, if I add gyrosphere 2 a pvp server jus for people 2 have fun, is it meant 4 pvp? Will Turrets shoot it? Is it too fast 4 Turrets 2 shoot?

In the normal game settings no, there are mods that have modded beer barrels that allow you to produce beer faster

[raven wigeon]

any1 managed to update they dedicated pvt server to the latest version?

[grizzled meteor]

sure

[raven wigeon]

coz mine says already up to date

[grizzled meteor]

what version does it say?

[raven wigeon]

33.34

[grizzled meteor]

33.49 is the latest

[raven wigeon]

it doesnt update

run this, change paths to your needs

[raven wigeon]

i am rinnung it

i have 3 servers running and none of the updates

[grizzled meteor]

strange, are you using any steam caching? maybe restart the box.. dunno

[raven wigeon]

never had problems

[grizzled meteor]

yea but 33.34 is very old 😛

[raven wigeon]

till now

lol

[grizzled meteor]

maybe your router is caching things? 🙂

one is updating the other says up to date on 33.34

[grizzled meteor]

mine did autoupdate before 8 hours.. sometimes steam slows you down if you update too many servers at once but it should update anyway

[raven wigeon]

u using a manager?

[grizzled meteor]

i wrote a 480 lines powershell script 😄

no managers, didnt find one that fits my needs ^^

[raven wigeon]

well im reinstalling the server lol

[grizzled meteor]

ahw naw... better backup the map 😄

[raven wigeon]

got the saves and configs

[grizzled meteor]

good luck

anyway, I also have a question: Does anyone have an RCON documentation for ASA? I'm looking to find the UE4 or UE5 ID of players (thats not the one you get from "listplayers")

[raven wigeon]

yeah, been loking for the same!!

cant whitelist the damn server coz the id's are messed, the id's that show on the server window and id's that show on the admin windows dont work at all

[grizzled meteor]

its the long one for whitlisting

[raven wigeon]

that show in the server windows when a player logs?

[grizzled meteor]

yes

[raven wigeon]

doesnt work

tried , keeps saying im not auth for the session

[lusty hemlock]

do you know which mod that is?

[grizzled meteor]

it works 100%, dont use SSL tho.. seems like ark can't handle httpS

[raven wigeon]

lemme try

[young minnow]

I think it might be the QoL+ one. There are 6 mods that all have their own version that can be edited. Too many to recall names on

[raven wigeon]

@grizzled meteor do u have to put anything on the start batch file?

[grizzled meteor]

check PM

[distant hearth]

ty, id been having issues geting mine to update ,

i was using this , pointing it to exactly where the ArkAscendedServer.exe is

start D:\SteamCMD\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir D:\steamcmd\steamapps\common\ark\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64 +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate +quit

^this does not work ,

start D:\SteamCMD\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir D:\steamcmd\steamapps\common\ark +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate +quit

^this works , kinda weird , but thank you 🙂

[grizzled meteor]

any RCON specialists around? maybe we should start a wiki or something..

[distant hearth]

any sort of documentation on getting asa servers running is scarce , most of whats on the internet seems to be wrong or contains loads of stuff that not needed lolz

[grizzled meteor]

true

the moderators here are also scares, they send me warning messages that im not allowed to post links but i actually never posted links, maybe they mean the path to my local steamcmd.exe ?

[distant hearth]

no idea, but it will just be the bot catching auto though

[flint karma]

Im playing ark evolved and I’m running a non dedicated server for me and my friends but I always have to setup the server settings everytime I load it up is there a way to fix that or is that just how it is

[tiny aspen]

As far as I know there is no way to retrieve the player ID from the EOS_ID through RCON

There used to be a command in ASE called GetPlayerIDForSteamID but it has never worked properly 😅

If you truly want to retrieve player ID's for external use your best bet is to dive into plugins

[grizzled meteor]

@tiny aspen thanks m8, i actually want to avoid diving into plugins without someone holding my hand 😄 but i may found the solution as players see it on their implant in inventory, they have to put it in themself 😄

[tiny aspen]

That will also work

[distant hearth]

you can the get eos id from your server files, just open it in a txt file an look for the player name,
bit of a pain if you go ton players though id guess

[tiny aspen]

Though keep in mind that the in-game UE ID for player characters differs per character

[grizzled meteor]

hmm scanning files may be an option 🙂

[tiny aspen]

Plugins are awesome! I have a plugin that fully synchronizes chat between ASE/ASA/Discord and links account, can just look up a player's in-game ID from the comfort of Discord hahaha

[flint karma]

Im playing ark evolved and I’m running a non dedicated server for me and my friends but I always have to setup the server settings everytime I load it up is there a way to fix that or is that just how it is

[grizzled meteor]

i do this all via rcon.. chat bridging and so on.. do you write the plugins yourself?

[distant hearth]

its like the 4th line down or summit in the eos id file , i was messing with mine the other day when i was trying to get it to whitelist me for admin

[tiny aspen]

Nah they aren't mine, I did write a discord bot that handled in-game / discord chat sync and tribe log fetching on Discord but I replaced it with this better working alternative

[grizzled meteor]

can you send me the links i may look into that aswell

[tiny aspen]

RCON can work great if you build an application around it and use the protocol to communicate but it does have its' limitations

Sure, I'll send you the main plugin hub as a starting point so you can browse from there!

[grizzled meteor]

the only problem i have with chats right now that it can not distinguish between global and local chat... but everything else works fine so far

[tiny aspen]

My bot was getting sarcastic, repeating random player's comments 😂

[flint karma]

Could someone possibly answer a question I have

[grizzled meteor]

yes: setup a dedicated server then we can help 😛

[tiny aspen]

Limitations of non-dedicated hosting unfortunately

[grizzled meteor]

maybe check your file permissions

[tiny aspen]

It should save but I'm assuming that the game overwrites the config with default single player settings each time you load in

[flint karma]

I’m so far into the non dedicated with my friends I’d prefer to not right now

[tiny aspen]

You can take your save with you though

[flint karma]

Do you know how to fix that?

[grizzled meteor]

can you not just copy the map?

[tiny aspen]

You can grab your save file, including tribes/players and the whole bunch and just paste it into a dedicated server set up

[flint karma]

I’m very new to ark so I don’t understand any of this

[tiny aspen]

then join my cluster with your friends

😂

[flint karma]

Do you need a fairly good pc to run a dedicated server ?

[distant hearth]

when you setup the non-dedicated, your basically setting up a single player, so do that, hit save, play game, when you done it shud save them

[tiny aspen]

You'll need a decent chunk of RAM and a solid cpu to run the dedi

The server takes about 20GB+ of storage, depending on possible mods you add (clean install)

[flint karma]

I’ve got a ryzen 5 and 32gb of ram

[tiny aspen]

That will net you a server

[flint karma]

It’s a gaming laptop though

[grizzled meteor]

you can even run it on the same machine as your client if you are only 2 players

[tiny aspen]

Won't matter that much if it's a laptop, just keep it in your same wifi/ethernet network

As you will need to forward the game ports to allow players outside your local network to connect

[flint karma]

I might look more into this online if it’s too much for my computer I’ll just deal with non dedicated server

[distant hearth]

ase dedicated be fine with your computer, it takes like 2 cpu cores an upto 6gb ram

[tiny aspen]

That depends on the amount of players though

I've seen my ASA island server spike up to 16 GB hahaha

[flint karma]

I’ve got 4 including me so me and my 3 friends

[tiny aspen]

That should be completely fine

[distant hearth]

well if coming from a non-dedicated then i t can only have like 6 right?

[flint karma]

So I see ase and asa what’s the difference

[distant hearth]

spend some time on google or youtube, theres alot guides for ase, if you get stuck, ask in here 🙂

asa is ark ascended, its a remaster, takes hell lot more resources to run

[flint karma]

Oh got so ase and asa are just the two ark games abbreviated

[distant hearth]

yea

[grizzled meteor]

is ASE even still a thing?

i think most jumped to ASA

[tiny aspen]

Unfortunately most people did hahaha

I'm still looking for ASE players so that I can keep my 13 ASE servers up for a reason but it's hard to find people for that nowadays 😛

[grizzled meteor]

I drowned my 13 ASE servers before a year or so.. didnt want to start again... now here we are with setting up ASA servers X_x

[distant hearth]

its only gonna get worse for ase , as more asa maps release, optimizations come along with people slowly upgrading old sysytems

[tiny aspen]

yupp

[distant hearth]

still look after 3 ase servers running on shitrado, they never get used tbh

[tiny aspen]

2 years hosting that ASE cluster 🫡

[distant hearth]

you did it proud, longest ase ones i looked after were an xbo cluster, bout 6 years i think

[jade folio]

Thanks @distant hearth and @tiny aspen for your help yesterday. No idea what happened but I deleted everything and started from scratch and now it’s up and running again.

[distant hearth]

glad u got it working

[tiny aspen]

No worries, glad to help^^

[shell pagoda]

I got the game a few years ago, pussied out and deleted it, I tried to download it again yesterday and it says I have no space, even though I have a 2TB extra storage device, how?

[solemn zephyr]

Sounds like you should ask in #bobs-with-probs

[regal star]

Quick question I have a friend that plays on Xbox nd when trying put in the admin password it won’t work for him. Is there a certain way he has to type it in

[distant hearth]

enablecheats adminpassword
cheat gcm
is an example of how to get creative mode , obv use your admin password

[regal star]

Ok Ty

[lone lodge]

Oh wise ones I need a answer please, I have a server with 5 mods. It was running fine until I updated to V 33.49 and now the server will not restart. Help?

[distant hearth]

self hosted or nitrado?

[lone lodge]

Self Hosted

[distant hearth]

what does it do ? any crash stacks or errors?

chances are one the mods is having hissy fit, can sometimes narrow it down to which one from the errors or crash logs

[lone lodge]

No errors it reaches in the start bat to Loading mods and then last line it says something and Blip all gone, start up vanishes. like when you have a mod in there with not all the numbers.

But I havent touched startup*

[distant hearth]

mods often cause issues around updates, they arent compatible with the server version, or something broke, or.... its not uncommon

look in the server logs see if you can find which one is crashing it

[lone lodge]

ok ty

[distant hearth]

if you cant find anything obvious then , probably have to remove them 1 at a time till boots properly

[lone lodge]

Fudge cicles, [2024.01.19-16.43.04:551][ 10]ERROR!!! FAtlasSaveManager::LoadOperationSql: SQL database is corrupt and the save game is compromised! Exiting...

Can I delete the manafest and restart?

[distant hearth]

i dont know , make sure to backup the current saves by making a copy of the folder shootergame/savedarks/TheIsland_wp and shud be fine to do what ever , as you will have a copy of everthing you need to reinstall if need be

[lone lodge]

Yuck ok ty

[distant hearth]

its saying saved game comprised, so might be you just need to load the anticorruption backup, or might have rollback to nearest clean save ,

[lone lodge]

OK yep that is where im headed. thanks

[lone lodge]

Ok it loaded with backup, yucky thought if it hadnt, Ty ty

[distant hearth]

keep that clean backup to one side , preferably on another drive, flashdrive w.e or another computer, do it once a weeks or so, if you ever get issues again , you know that havent got lose it all
i used just copy the whole folder as im lazy lol

[lone lodge]

I will definately do that ty~

[solemn zephyr]

@lone lodge @distant hearth I have a fix for the atlas sql corruption that doesnt require a rollback if you need it.

Cant post it here as it contains a link.

[distant hearth]

if you wudnt mind dm me id apreciate , incase ever have that issue

[solemn zephyr]

Got you, I'll be back to my pc in 5m or so

[solemn zephyr]

Friend request sent as my DM are closed

[distant hearth]

added thx

[queen condor]

Trying to get player notifications working for those who join/leave my server. For some reason I can't get it working.

I have it all correct in my Game.ini and GameUserSettings.ini or at least I thought?

Anyone else having this issue?

[distant hearth]

shud just be theese 2 lines in the gameusersetting.ini under this header,

[ServerSettings]
alwaysNotifyPlayerJoined=True
alwaysNotifyPlayerLeft=True

the players also need to have the option set in there own settings irrc

[queen condor]

Ok perfect

Thank you!

[winter cedar]

d

[brisk granite]

We're adding Primal Chaos mod to our Unofficial Nitrado server but having troubles setting the max wild dino level to 600 like the mod recommends. Anybody know to fix that? Thanks

[solemn zephyr]

Guessing you have MaxDifficulty=True in your game.ini, which will cap you at 150.

Change that to false

[wise kindle]

GUS.ini
OverrideOfficialDifficulty=20
DifficultyOffset=1.0

game.ini
MaxDifficulty=false

Then wild dino wipe

[wise kindle]

JINX 😂

Oh yep, MaxDifficulty is in game.ini not gus.ini ope

The others are in gus.ini

fixed

[humble thicket]

Everytime i wanna join with the IP or ober the Nitrado Website, i get a wierd msg about an ID not Available/ Found and i can‘t join. It‘s ASE

[unreal sinew]

hi guys can any one help me with that we have a problem on our privet server we cant trans bullet with s+ omni tool to the turret did any one know how to slove this

[lone lodge]

OverrideOfficialDifficulty=20 (what level will dinos in ASA be at 20?)

[brisk granite]

Thanks y'all!

[wise kindle]

600 at 20, 300 at 10

[lone lodge]

oh my ok ty

[vivid patrol]

anyone know how to turn off orp of a server

asa

[wise kindle]

PreventOfflinePVP=false

[vivid patrol]

and that would be in files?

[wise kindle]

GUS.ini

[vivid patrol]

its already was on false?

ima make it true and see if that maybe changes something

[cedar hound]

question are the settings for wild babys different then the babies you get when you breed your dinos because when a wild one is tamed the wants care is such a long wait longer then how long it takes to get it fully grown

[tardy pine]

Has anyone tested DinoTurretDamageMultiplier in ASA? Does it work?

[north nova]

How do I add a mod to my server? I want to add the super spy glass mod so I can do some breeding, just realized I would have to beat the alpha bosses to get the tek binocular and that still a while away

[vivid patrol]

you go to nitrado

look at your server go to settings then curse forge mods look for the mods you want click them adn next time the server restarts they will be in

[north nova]

Alright cool thank you

[vivid patrol]

you get it to work?

[north nova]

Yeah it's working thank you

[grizzled meteor]

so as it looks disabling the anti-mesh system for ASA is not possible at all.
-noundermeshkilling -noundermeshchecking as start arguments does not work.

having the following settings in GUS.ini and Game.ini does not work also
noundermeshkilling=true
noundermeshchecking=true

we still see players getting anti-meshed while just farming metal.

most false positiv anti-mesh kills are around the vulcano and on the seafloor
any ideas?

[vocal herald]

I think theres quite a few settings in .ini and launch args that just straight up do nothing for ASA 😭 (not sure if its intentionally stopped, a bug, or if it just hasn't been implemented yet though)

[zenith stump]

hello my server modifies the attack and life stats too much when we add 1 point what does I have from stego to 200k hp I want official stats here is my line of code

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[0]=1
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[7]=10000000
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[8]=1

help .. thanks

[celest halo]

10000000 is far from official

[zenith stump]

100000 cheat weight

[vocal herald]

0: Health,
1: Stamina,
2: Torpidity,
3: Oxygen,
4: Food,
5: Water,
6: Temperature,
7: Weight,
8: MeleeDamageMultiplier,
9: SpeedMultiplier,
10: TemperatureFortitude,
11: CraftingSpeedMultiplier

i think 1 is normal

[zenith stump]

wtf with the value of 1 my stego we still have 200k HP

[vocal herald]

you could try setting it to 0.5 or something

[zenith stump]

I tried 0 it doesn't work x)

[vocal herald]

oh i have found the default settings, the default for health is 0.2

for damage the default is 0.17

it looks like 1 is default for all of the other ones 🙂

[vocal herald]

setting it to 0 won't work, setting it to 0.number should 😊

[zenith stump]

Thanks I'll give it a try where did you find this?

[celest halo]

the wiki https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#PerLevelStatsMultiplier

[zenith stump]

IS PERFECT

[vocal herald]

yeah thats where i found it 🙂

[zenith stump]

thanks

[turbid pebble]

When I load into a server my game freezes, it freezes when I get into the character menu

Anyone got advice

[void plover]

looks like they love to break mods.. this actually has to do with the mod menu when joining servers.. lets see how this new patch tonight breaks them all again.

[turbid pebble]

yikes, i was able to play servers with mods on steam for ase but apparently not on asa💀

[merry summit]

Hi, does someone eventuelly know a code to grey out ingame flying and movement speed leveling and to turn it off? I find codes only for enabling it and bAllowFlyerSpeedLeveling=false doesn't do anything. 👀

[distant hearth]

if it asa shud be off by default,

in ase bAllowSpeedLeveling=False

goes in game.ini

[jagged coral]

Anyone know anything about this in console whilst server is starting up? It's a new issue after I've updated my ARK server to 33.53.

Expensive Rebuild of LevelActors TMap for level PersistentLevel...

[distant hearth]

not sure what its doing but its just something they did with last update, server still boots fine

[jagged coral]

Yeah

[grizzled meteor]

Was anyone able to fix the anti-mesh issue? players on our servers lose constantly stuff due to getting killed by anti-mesh but they are actually not meshing they are just playing the game.. also every action we tried out to disable the anti-mesh system did not work, it would be nice to get any official advice

[distant hearth]

the volcano is , just awful, its full of weird glitches, sometimes i dont think its even antimesh , just weirds

turn the mesh off helps, i tested it out , it does something, just prehaps isnt doing it in the areas of the map they redid

and as for performance increases, well
what ever they did last update has broken the water/irrigation system and server i play on runs like shite

[grizzled meteor]

how did you disable it?

-noundermeshkilling -noundermeshchecking as start arguments does not work.

having the following settings in GUS.ini and Game.ini does not work also
noundermeshkilling=true
noundermeshchecking=true

all this did not change anything, and it seems to be very random when it appears

[distant hearth]

i did it in cmd line for server start and in gus, not sure which one actually did it. i shud test it more i suppose
-noundermeshkilling

then when i tested by ghost into the mesh , unghost and it wud throw me out of the mesh but not kill.
yet randomly , still get killed around volcano -that area of the map has serious issues

no killing -shud just pop u out the mesh,
nochecking - shud just disable it completely, issue with that is sometimes can get stuck in the mesh

[grizzled meteor]

its not working, i have them both.

the funny thing is, its not happening to everyone it seems only to happen to ppl with EPIC gfx settings and console users like playstation

[distant hearth]

thats weird asf, but the whole dam game is a weird mes tbh

[static adder]

Has anyone experienced higher ping over the past couple days on unofficial servers? Not hosted by nitrado? Trying to figure out what could be causing it

[distant hearth]

some people have reported an overspawn issue in caves, particularly the u/w ones.
Then dino wiping helps for a bit

[static adder]

Thank you! I will try that

[deep mountain]

Is there an Option to Show a playerlist , like in evolved? So you know who is on?

[snow galleon]

Hi, i have a weird bug in my single player every time i try to toogle the photo mode it just unpauses my game i tried to disable and enable the photomode but it didn't changed anything does anyone know how could fix it?

[merry summit]

Thanks for the reply! Either this code turned off the movement speed leveling but only by the flying dinos or it's EnableFlyerSpeedLevelUp=False, but our characters and non-flying dinos still can level the movement..

[distant tiger]

Anyone else seeing this in the console "Expensive Rebuild of LevelActors TMap for level PersistentLevel..."? Seems to have come from the recent update that is causing display issues with water/irrigation not being connected. Note the water is still working in testing though.

[iron bronze]

We are also getting this, but our servers are crashing on start up and we have no idea how to fix it. Our servers are just not starting up at all after recent update.

[digital obsidian]

Do you use Ark API? If so you have to update it and potentially your plugins

[iron bronze]

We do and we have updated it today. We are going to try and remove the Api and see if that changes anything.

[distant hearth]

getting that , but servers booting up fine

[digital obsidian]

Depending on what plugins you use, they also needs updating to prevent the crash

[iron bronze]

Were not using any plugins

Just API and XASM bot

All up to date

[lavish solar]

I updated api
Found my servers did not do the Ark update properly so I forced it now.

Tested with all plugins removed and it still crashed.. waiting on api cache update then ill give you more feedback

[cobalt idol]

same problem here.

[iron bronze]

We removed our API completely and just started it without any API or bot and the server booted

[cobalt idol]

then seems an api / plugin problem.

[iron bronze]

Seems so

[cobalt idol]

Fix: Update the ArkShopUI plugin 😉

[nova kindle]

does someone have a .ini for gacha's spawning in the island

@everyone

[distant hearth]

trying to at everyone in discord with thousands members lol not cool, but its disabled anyway

i dont even know if you can do it for asa , they might not be in the base game yet

[olive talon]

They're on ASE

[distant hearth]

ok , then something like this

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesGrassland_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="GachaSpawner",EntryWeight=0.03,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Gacha_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Gacha_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.1)))

its quite hard to get the balance right when adding in an depends on user prefernce to how many spawn, where they spawn etc

[nova kindle]

if i just change that gacha_character_BP_C to another dinos id or name id bp will it just be like it?

[distant hearth]

kind of, the wikipideia expalins it best, as you need the place it will spawn, the weight it will spawn at in the container etc, but essentially yes

[nova kindle]

okay so i can use the wiki for a griffin cuz thats the only other dino i want

Griffin_Character_BP_C

btw i add this on the end of game.ini right?

[south wave]

@distant hearth can I just say, you’re a gigachad 🫡

[nova kindle]

fr dude

[distant hearth]

yes for sure, i mean you cud use that code, i just dont know how well it work for gacha and griffin together in the same spawn location, with the same weights ,

might just be better off loking for a mods that add griffins and another mod to add gatchas if you arent able to to figure out the coding,

yea in game ini

this link will help explain more the spawn containers
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#Advanced_*NPCSpawnEntriesContainer_usage

[nova kindle]

bro thanks for the essay

[distant hearth]

i have no idea what that means but i shall presume its good lmao

[south wave]

It takes some serious mental fortitude to help people regularly on official ARK

[nova kindle]

he meant bc he was typing for a hot minute

[south wave]

https://tenor.com/view/gigachad-chad-gif-20773266

[nova kindle]

man im sorry for wasting anyones time but i just couldnt find any
thanks w1llz123 i really apprecaite it

[distant hearth]

people here helped me alot , so i pay it forward, i type slow too

[south wave]

Not just you

I meant in generall, your query was quite fair tbh

[distant hearth]

its all good, hopefully you can figure it out, it just takes a bit time an effort

[south wave]

Spawn ini is kinda complicated

[nova kindle]

thanks man

sorry one last questioin
i put the ini codes on the end of the game.ini right?

[south wave]

One time I had to help a guy find the escape key on his keyboard

[distant hearth]

aint it just, once had thousands snow owls in the ragnarok death snow , ooops

[nova kindle]

dam

[distant hearth]

yep

[nova kindle]

tysm

[south wave]

I’ve seen w1llz here consistently in #bobs-with-probs and this chat helping people

[late estuary]

Yeah w1llz is awesome

[distant hearth]

your welcome , im bored anyway waiting for my drives to clone

[eternal lake]

Spawn Containers - Spinos
I haven't been successful adding extra Spinos.
Wondering if anyone has actually had success with adding extra spawns of anything, or if the ini entries no longer work for ASA.

Here is the current entry I'm using to test with (maybe I borked it somehow?):
ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntries_InlandWater_C", NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="SpinoSpawner", EntryWeight=1, NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Spino_Character_BP_C"))), NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="DinoSpawnEntries_InlandWater_C", MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=.1)))

Also had tried the following previously:
DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag=Spino,SpawnWeightMultiplier=1,OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=true,SpawnLimitPercentage=.15)

If I do a ListDinos - I don't ever see more than 2 Spinos on the map. (after killing those and a pile of fish)

[distant hearth]

in the first example you have a decimal point so 0.1 spinos to add? try 1 an it shud add 1 think

[eternal lake]

My understanding is that .1 translates to 10% (of the individual container limit)

[distant hearth]

except in this case your trying to just add to the container , not override whats in it not so much overrride the whole entry , so the dino your adding needs a positve percentage i believe .
i might be way off, but thats how i understand, when adding

[eternal lake]

Perhaps I misunderstand the wiki then.

[distant hearth]

its confusing , you may be right an im wrong . only way to find out is fiddle with i guess,

i have a test server i can mess with later but cant at the moment, so lemme know if u want me try

[eternal lake]

Yeah, that would be great! Once you get your drive cloned. 😉
Gotta head out into the real world for a bit, and have folks on my server so I can't test with a dinowipe at the moment to see if anything changes after that.

[distant hearth]

will let ya know later

[latent summit]

Question im trying to make a server for homies and I but im trying to add DLC dinos to the world how do I it

[devout rampart]

Hi guys, from last startup i have a mass spawn on console of "Expensive Rebuild of LevelActors TMap for level PersistentLevel..." , like more than 500 rows, all the same. Any issue with the patch? something messed up?

[distant hearth]

there all doing it, seems to boot up fine though so... i ignored it

[devout rampart]

maybe the usual forgotten "," on some row.

[distant hearth]

probably 😛

[devout rampart]

thanks

[ashen nebula]

anyone know what this specific line of code in the server window means? "Expensive Rebuild of LevelActors TMap for level PersistentLevel..."
