[cinder dune]

we are having the same issue with our servers. mods are there and the servers are up to date. servers keep crashing during loading

[solar silo]

Server is crashing or client? Cause for me the client was the only one crashing

[cinder dune]

will have to look... we think it is API crashing

[languid plank]

for me server is crashing. runs fine without the gigantoraptor but will crash randomly with it

[solar silo]

Oh no I wasnt having that issue. My server was new and without mods. I'm making a discord bot to control it and was turning it off an on a bunch and the constant restarts probably corrupted something

[languid plank]

guess ill just wait for a patch for this tomorrow or something

[mellow wasp]

How can I increase the probability that a baby will have a mutation? It's for my 1 player game

[young stream]

My server keeps restarting every like 2mins ☠️

[past dust]

Is anyone else having an issue with PlatformSaddleBuildAreaBoundsMultiplier not working anymore? I had a raft with ceilings about 8-10 in front and behind the raft after setting this to 10. I picked up a piece to change it to a hatch and half my boat picked up as well. I went to put pieces back and now I and limited to the default platform limit.

[gloomy trellis]

Same here. Been almost 20hrs....

[young stream]

The fact ark has so many bugs and issues is crazy literally thinking about canceling my server bc of the simple fact it has more downtime than up time what’s the point in playing it if it’s merely for a week before it shuts down or crashes again ☠️

[gloomy trellis]

With all the manpower and resources they used to do this... they could have just fixed ASE. Made it crossplay, added mod support, make money in many other ways... but fix the game that plenty of people were playing anyway. MAKES NO SENSE

[sudden narwhal]

Why can't I change my keys on Xbox? I play games with a keyboard and mouse but it won't let me change the settings, for example changing the key for inventory and everything in general.

[pseudo ibex]

Congrats on killing your game with pay to win!

[peak sapphire]

I don’t think the unofficial community cares about that.

[west plinth]

anyone know of any dedicated server command line list?

[west plinth]

do you have controller connected at the same time?

[dusk oyster]

How do I make it so in my singleplayer ascended world i can guaranteed get 100% imprint within the creature wanting care only a few times?

[slate bridge]

Anyone having issues with the new dino mod? We have it on our server but can’t find any. It’s definitely working as I’ve spawned one in and also getting saddles for it

We have the same issue

Same!

[sweet imp]

Dino wipe?

[grim saffron]

whenever anyone tries to join my server everyone has no inverntory and just crashes after 5 seconds

[slate bridge]

Yup done several times. Also killed many dinos around green ob

Did you manage to find a wild one ? Mines not spawning

[raven notch]

Does anyone have custom ini files for custom supply drops on ASE still?

[vast tulip]

yo,can someone help me with a error? this is the error : The UE4-ShooterGame Game Has Crashed tried to reinstall it i verified integrity game file , updated windows, graphics card,sound , run it as administrator and etc. and only on ragnarok,why?

[distant hearth]

check the setting hasnt changed in the ini, asa likes to overwrite it sometimes with updates

[willow veldt]

Same problem on my server, no spawns....

[slate bridge]

I fixed mine, I made the mod is first slot, dino wiped and it works 🙂

[willow veldt]

I can spawn one with cheat command, but no "natural" spawn

[willow veldt]

Oh thanks, i'll try to

[sharp vortex]

Can we completely remove the love ascended mod yet or does it still have to be in silent mode?

[distant hearth]

still got be in passive

[sharp vortex]

thanks

[native sorrel]

how exactly is the command supposed to be input for the passive Love Ascended. when i did it how the message said it told me not a recognized command. which i def put it in wrong then. not sure the proper input

[distant hearth]

so it shud go in the start batch file and look like this
-mods=927084 -passivemods=927084

if you have multiple mods , the one you want passive must be first in the list

[native sorrel]

so that doesnt go as a consol command? well shit

i def dont know how to do that one

[distant hearth]

are you on a nitrado server?

[native sorrel]

no i am on local solo

[distant hearth]

oh, ermm i dont think you can do it sp

[hushed timber]

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a good setting with the cuddle interval on a solo game. I don't want to wait so long but I'm not good with number ^^'. If someone can help me. Thanks all 🙂 (bad english, sorry)

[deep flower]

Does anyone know if -NoWildBabies affects the Gigantoraptor babies?

[deep flower]

0.25x Baby Cuddle Interval
0.25x Baby Food Consumption

[hushed timber]

Thanks, I can do this directly in the interface or I need to do this with some file ?

[deep flower]

Should be able to find it in the Singleplayer Interface

[hushed timber]

Thanks again JD 🙂

[lean bluff]

Is it normal to have 6000 coelacanth on your server? My the island has 30,000 wild Dino’s total

[inner sinew]

after yesterdays update server keeps crashing wtf happened and its the island map are othere cluster maps work

[distant hearth]

the gigantoraptor mod was crashing one my test servers , i had to remove an reinstall the mod to make it work
appears it dont bloody work anyway, they wont spawn in on it

[crude narwhal]

Hello. please tell me how to add a gigantoraptor mod. I put it in my mods folder. Well, does the server still display it? Maybe I need to write something down?

[distant hearth]

what sort of server?

[crude narwhal]

my, not nitrado

[inner sinew]

i didnt add that to my server

i run a dedicated box

[distant hearth]

you will need to add the mod id to the start command like this
-mods=927084

[crude narwhal]

thanks you

[distant hearth]

try just deleting the mod and moddata folder, it will force them to redownload on server start

[inner sinew]

i did that and the island server is still crashing over and over

[distant hearth]

some mods are causing issues, was it ok after v35.6 ?

[valid egret]

Is there a list of mods causing these restart loops ?

[inner sinew]

so last night i updated all severs to 35.11. up the island didnt update last night so i did it this morning and it was not updateing it was starting up and then crashing over and over i deleted the mod folders and then started server back up and still the same

im getting those but i have all mods on server bookmarked and none of those mod ids are in there

im getting this error in the crashstack log Fatal error!

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x000002218b8a4678

and alot more under that but cant post textfiles here

[distant hearth]

is curseforge down again ? might be its not able to do the mod downloads it needs

nvm its online now so not that

[jaunty vortex]

have those mods been taken down pending updates with the new dev kit?

[inner sinew]

i have no clue what those mods are they arent in my list of mods on the server

[split void]

@slate bridge @willow crystal @upbeat solstice we are having the same issue, what other mods do yall have installed? Custom Dino Levels by any chance?

[deft stone]

Dino Levels is ok i have it and its working

[inner sinew]

i have customdinos yes

[deft stone]

MOD ID 928708 : Custom Dino Levels

[inner sinew]

welp can sen dpicture of my mods

im going to try and make new island server and then copy everything over to main server execpt theisland and see if that works

idk what they did yesterday to cause this to happen

[split void]

we do have Admin Panel installed as well, wonder if there is some sort of configuration that is preventing the big bird from spawning

[inner sinew]

i have that aswell

[distant hearth]

just take a copy of the save files, then delete the whole save folder, if thats an issue. the server will boot.
just be sure to have that copy, or you will lose data , presume u know, but i always warn

[inner sinew]

ok

[distant hearth]

its like the fastest way ive found to test when they wont boot , after that its down to removing mods , one by one or remve the lot an add one by one

[inner sinew]

no freaking way it was the save file but which idk

nope it juist crashed

so it wasing the save files its still crashing

[distant hearth]

time to play , guess which mod is broke

[peak sapphire]

I have around 20 mods installed and the Gigantoraptor spawns on my Island server - it just has a very low spawn rate. I’m assuming you’ve ran list dino command to ensure it’s actualy spawning and you’re just not spotting it?

[split void]

im not one of the admins, so i can't do that.

but we have 6 servers in our cluster, no one is able to find one.

[distant hearth]

ive heard others comment it needs to be first in the mod load order . havent been able to test to confirm, worth trying

[inner sinew]

it might be shiny it started up and crashed [2024.02.29-15.47.54:973][ 12]Shiny: Shiny CCA Starting

that was the last mod that loaded in crash log

[distant hearth]

good place to start

[spice wharf]

Does anyone know the format for adding custom cosmetics mods on unofficial servers? They just provide this command: CosmeticWhitelistOverride="URL" but not sure how to use it.

[peak sapphire]

@split void Ask an admin to run the command Cheat GetAllState Gigantoraptor_Character_BP_C, but obviously only the server owner will see it in the server log assuming they have that enabled

[inner sinew]

wasnt shiny still doing it when i disabled mod

[wise kindle]

Move the mod to the first or second slot. It gets overrun it seems.

Or just add it to Grasslands spawns at .0471 weight, no more than 2 around 20% spawn. Then you get around 5-8 spawning, which is about what the normal spawn would be.

BTW, I'll have to try my testing later. I lost my test minions. They ran off after big raptors.

[languid plank]

its probably the same bug that mine has with the gigantoraptor mod. mine just shuts down though at random every couple of mins.

[young stream]

Can someone DM me as to how to make a server fibercraft? And how to implement items in drops?

[inner sinew]

its def a mod are dev island server loads perfectly now i have to go thru and see which mod it is

dev server has no mods on it

[young stream]

I have like 8 on mine that’s gonna take a fat min to figure which one it is ☠️

[inner sinew]

we have 41

[young stream]

Rip

[inner sinew]

im going to skim thru my server discord were im in all the ark mods discord sand see if i can find out that way

[languid plank]

i only have the gigantoraptor, which is why i know its an issue with that mod

[young stream]

To make a server fibercraft I have to put a code in ini files right?

I’m finding nothing on how to do so ☠️

[wise kindle]

Theres built in settings in Beacon. Hit up the Beacon discord for info if you have that. It helps make the settings for you.

[young stream]

I wish I had their discord 😭 but I do not

[wise kindle]

theres a link on their website, and I believe in the app itself. I cant post here.

[young stream]

Alright thank youuuuu much appreciated 🫶🏻

[split void]

i did start a local single player game with all our mods, couldn't see it when the gigraptor mod was last in the list.

moved it to the first in the list, restarted the world, and I could see it then

[wise kindle]

Id try to help but thats faaaaar too many inis to search out lol. I dont run pvp, so I dont have examples.

[inner sinew]

RR mods are causing the loop just took them off are server and theisland map is wokring

[young stream]

Ah thank you I actually have I think 2 of their mods

[wise kindle]

Most RR mods, Annunaki, Shiny, Svart Premium and some report dwarven builders as well. There are more but I dont remember off hand.

[inner sinew]

i had five of them and just took them all off

[young stream]

Thank you guys I’ll take those off as soon as I get home

[wise kindle]

But then some, like RR Starseahorse and RR Weapons are fine. So its hit and miss sometimes.

[inner sinew]

i had the farmanimals the decor and building and rr boxes seahorse and floating platforms

[wise kindle]

oh the farm one I know causes it

[inner sinew]

i just disabled them all didnt bother check which ones worked or not

[wise kindle]

yeah I've had a TON of issues with those RR mods before. So far only the Seahorse and the weapon mods have been good so far. The other ones have too many updates and it just creates issues.

Modders: Give us stable mods plz

[peak sapphire]

I have Dwarvern builders on my Svart (free version) server and it starts fine, unless the problem is map specific?

[wise kindle]

nah, I think it may be false reporting.

Ppl remove like 4 mods and then their map starts then they scream its these four mods.

Its just me parroting what I hear.

Ppl have told me to remove Love Evolved early cuz its that mod. I have it on every map with no issues. Its just hard to tell with this bug.

[deft stone]

love evolved is on my map working too. Maybe, its a combinaison of 2 mods causing a problem ... it make harder to find the culprits one...

[willow crystal]

yes

[slate bridge]

nope, i got mine to work by putting the mod in the first slot 😄

[lavish current]

is there any documentation for what commands can be run from the server command line that is available by clicking the arrow icon on the top right of the window? for example, i was able to type "quit" and click Run Command to shut down the server, what other commands are available, are they documented somewhere?

[wise kindle]

There are entire lists online, but make sure you look at your version. Alot of commands do not work in both versions. Just search "Ark admin commands". You will see several sites that list them. Ark Ids is a popular one. Or Dododex.

[rustic jay]

Does anyone have the BP data for Gigantoraptor?

[wise kindle]

Gigantoraptor_Character_BP_C if I remember correctly

[rustic jay]

I meant Saddle BP. Sorry :D. My mistake ^^

[gloomy trellis]

you could always just try the cheat gfi gigantoraptor 1 0 0

i do that for "rex" and "giga" to get their saddles xD

[rustic jay]

But it doesn't do anything for me because I need it as an engram entry ^^

[wise kindle]

Might have to deep dive the mod file to find that.

[distant hearth]

PrimalItemArmor_GigantoraptorSaddle_c

or full path ,
/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor/PrimalItemArmor_GigantoraptorSaddle.PrimalItemArmor_GigantoraptorSaddle

edit , saw you wanted engram entry ,
EngramEntry_Saddle_Gigantoraptor_C

[distant hearth]

beacon will do it for you 🙂 in the mods tab, hit import, run mods discovery an enter the mod id

not sure if free version does that , prob not . but beacon so cheap anyway its a god send if messing with servers

[normal canyon]

I keep losing my character on my cluster when transfering are they working on a fix for that.

[distant hearth]

what sort of cluster, how is it setup ?

[normal canyon]

6 map cluster with mod maps

-NoTransferFromFiltering -clusterid=cluster1 -ClusterDirOverride=E:\ClusterSave

[distant hearth]

when you set it up in the frist place did you create the folder/directory at e:/clustersave or let the server do it automatically ?

[normal canyon]

automatically

[distant hearth]

hmpth that buggers my theory then , i been testing it, cant make mine lose a char , i wondered if it was becuase people were making there own directory(not that it shud really matter)
becuase it then makes another folder inside it with the cluster id

how does it lose the char , just randomly or everytime load in?

[normal canyon]

just randomly

[pure haven]

will 15gb ram and 75gb nvme storage be enough for a server with one map and maybe up to 20ppl? looking at some cheap server renting but those specs kinda making me worry

[normal canyon]

yeah for 1

[distant hearth]

guess its a wc issue then, only time i can mine disapeer is buy having one in upload then trying transfer .
I will continue tesing more , see if closing the conection or having it on high ping can break it

[wise kindle]

Oh ik, thats how I got it lol.

[deft stone]

basic asa server take 8Go one map dont grow more than 10gb ... 18gb max for one map... and mine take 8gb of memory so seem ok

[pure haven]

ok thanks. i was just worrying seeing those unofficial server with 100+ ram and 1-2tb of storage but i guess thats for clusters

[deft stone]

i run 2 servers and play the game on the same computer with 16gb of ram...

[distant hearth]

storage is a nothingness, 20 gb per server more than enough , ram is highest useage, then cpu use

if you really wanted , can get it down to like 6gbish storage no mods

[distant hearth]

ark ascended?

[deft stone]

yes

[distant hearth]

suprised that works on that low ram without alot lag , i can run two an the game but it dont like it

32gb ram

[deft stone]

dont know why it can also depen on the timmings on the memory

[distant hearth]

yea i guess , mine is ddr4 3600mhz cl18 , i did just change to a slightly better cpu, havent tested it since then , was on a r5 3600

[jolly dove]

WC said the modded server crashing was resolved, but my server is still crashing repeatedly, I've even made a couple of settings adjustments to resolve but no dice -

anyone have suggestions on resolution here? It's been 3 days since we've been able to log in

[deft stone]

WC Said?

do we have news on the devkit update?

[wise kindle]

Thats for Official Modded maps, not unofficial. They dont control that.

[distant hearth]

depending on the mods you have will depend if fixed,
the anoucement was for official servers , they only run specfic mods

its also possible the whole dodgy mod shit an servers constant rebooting, corrupted save files . unlikely but wudnt suprise me

the new mod gigantoraptor was bootlooping my test server , till i deleted the mod an reinstall it

[deft stone]

ho Svartalfheim official server are working

My server went from 30sec launch to 1m30 with the Gigantoraptor mod

[jolly dove]

I'll try reinstalling the gigantoraptor mod, as I'd also put that on the list before attempting to reboot/update

[deft stone]

worst case, rename/delete the mods folder and let them update

[haughty badger]

anyone having issues with the gigantoraptor not spawning. Put the mod on, booted up, and did a dino wipe, but still havent been able to spot one. A couple of us have been searching the map for over an hour since the dino wipe

[deft stone]

same here

[deft stone]

i just updated my server from steam i wounder if this will fix the issue...

[distant hearth]

a few people have said that making sure its first in the mod order, will make it spawn

[haughty badger]

I did the update when I added the mod. Will try @distant hearth suggestion of first in the mod order

[deft stone]

interesting i will test

[wise kindle]

Its nice that they put out the checkbox for the disable Love Evolved, require it to be first in the mod order... then put out a mod that needs to be FIRST in the mod order in order to spawn 🤦‍♀️

[jolly dove]

well bummer that didn't work...

the cmd window goes all the way to almost the end of booting, then just closes/crashes out... D:

[distant hearth]

do we expect anything better at this point lolz, its a whole shower of shit raining down

[wise kindle]

yeah ik. just complaining lol. I'll hush.

I just added a spawn point for them and called it a day anyway.

[distant hearth]

you can chech the log files, sometimes point at an issue , failing that , its remove all mods an an see or remove all save data an see

[deft stone]

if i had the problem, i could backup the server, removing all mods seeing if it launch and readding them one by one... removing the broken one and restoring the backup

[distant hearth]

yea smart move, how long it take you to get the weights right?

[wise kindle]

2 tries - I copied the carno Grassland spawns.

[distant hearth]

next time i want to add a dino im asking you lmao , i always mess it up

[wise kindle]

OH bro, dont ask me! I got super lucky.

I expected 500 to show up on an ob or something. Or a fully vacant map. I just never know how fragile these containers are anymore lol.

[jolly dove]

whooaaaaa my crash logs say "exception_access_violation" - I'm guessing it's having a read/write issue? man idk what's going on at this point now

[distant hearth]

take them with a pinxh of salt, they sometimes point in the right direction. usually not, like it will give that error if a file corrupted as cant read it properly

[jolly dove]

This is why I hate running mods... but there's so much needed QOL and quite a few neat extra dinos out there :\

It sucks troubleshooting this stuff when it breaks without proper logging

[distant hearth]

depends on the amount mods i guess, can usually get it sorted it in under 30 mins
non nitrado

[jolly dove]

I really miss Ark Server Manager and was sad when they announced they wouldn't be creating an ASA version of their program :(

Yeah, my server is running about 20 mods currently

[distant hearth]

nitrado an mods, oooff that can take a while

[jolly dove]

yeah I hate nitrado so much - Used them for 2 weeks, immediately went back to self-hosting lmao

[distant hearth]

i think most people do, 5-6 years of dealing with them for xbox servers, i was so glad to get away

server crash trouble shooting 101 ,

copy whole save folder (TheIsland_WP) and store safe elsewhere from ,
ShooterGame\Saved\SavedArks

Delete it , try start server , if all good, one of the save files is corrupted .
Still crash ,
copy mods and modsuserdata folder and store to safe place from
\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ShooterGame
delete both

from there , u add 1 thing at time till it breaks

[split void]

our cluster can't get it to work on island, but interestingly it works on svart 🤷‍♂️

[wise kindle]

If you move it up in the mod order it triggers spawning, preferably in the first mod spot.

[jolly dove]

Yeah, this is what I do. It's just a frustrating and tedious process that's boring af and I hate doing xD

[haughty badger]

Moved the gigantoraptor up to first spot on the list and it worked

[peak quartz]

how do people get these fibercraft mods and what best site for a ark server does has to be the one it shows on the game

[distant hearth]

fibercraft isnt a mod that afaik , its just changed ini settings/coding .
mind thinking bout it bet the kids wud lap up a mod that does for them

[fringe grotto]

Error! App '376030' state is 0x602 after update job. ---
I get this when trying to download the server files with SteamCMD

Any idea how to fix that? Happens at 99.87% of verifying the download files

Ark survival evolved^.

[distant hearth]

pretty sure that mod id is incorrect , did you add a 0 on the end by accident? what mod is it ?

oh sry eveolved

[fringe grotto]

Its no mods, its the base game server files

[distant hearth]

ignore me

[fringe grotto]

yee no problem, if only I could run asa xd

[haughty ether]

We aren’t seeing any either. Been advised to put the mod in load order one but not tried that yet

[distant hearth]

are u running the update batch file in the same line as the start command?

[haughty ether]

Asa Companion bot is good !

[slow crane]

Any update on mods causing the infinite restart loop yet

[jolly dove]

I'm assuming you're talking about the mod. Looks interested but doesn't do what I'm needing. ASM was a server manager in the truest sense, not just general server admin maintenance. I'll keep it in mind though if I ever need Discord integration 👍

[haughty ether]

The asa companion bot is a server manager

[jolly dove]

I found out my mod was the RR mods doing my loop, apparently the devkit didn't realize until 2 days after the update, so we're now waiting on mod authors to fix their mods

[jolly dove]

In what way? The curseforge page just says it does basic things like getting player/tribe data, broadcasting to the server, and review the data on the server itself. Nothing here says that I can edit the INI files, manage the mods, start/stop/update the server, etc for self-hosted servers.

[haughty ether]

Ok your definition of managing is different to mine. I use beacon to configure and manage the settings on my servers. I use asa bot to manage my server and the community. So no , I guess it doesn’t do what you want/need. Just thought I’d suggest it for you.

[jolly dove]

It's more like admin tools for a server. Not a server manager. Integration between a server and Discord.

Thanks for the suggestion, it's just not what I'm looking for.

[distant hearth]

beacon is pretty good for doing the ini files, ive used it for years with no issues

[jolly dove]

Yeah, I've used beacon in the past. I use it for the loot tables mainly. It's a good app, just feels a bit clunky to me (compared to manually editing or using ASM in the past).

Just hoping someone creates a similar program in the future like ASM. Soon™️

[peak quartz]

can anyone help a noob et up her server XD

i wanna learn how to add fiber in it and if anything how to make it so we can grab crap tone of items in 1 go

[deft stone]

Nitrado server or dedicated steam server?

[deft stone]

I prefer the ASM GUI, more intuitive i think

[limpid glen]

Anyone currently play the svartelhiem map? I’m looking for a mod map to host until an official comes out but most of the ones I’ve seen are barely playable with most areas just being Barron. When I checked out svart a couple months ago it looked great but still had areas uncompleted. I was wondering if this had changed for the non premium version

[autumn yarrow]

I have been playing on it for awhile and I love it. There is more playable area now than when I started but still a wall blocking most of the snow. Best mod map I have tried for sure.

[grim roost]

Hello!
I have some question about ASA, I hope you can help me.

1. Is there a way to make the map doesn't reset every time you log in? I can go through the whole map and discover it, but when I login the next day, it's all reset and I have to do it again.
2. Have you found away around the awful in game chat filter? It looks like it can censor differently depending on the regions, but it has come to the point where I cannot even use dino color commands or tp to a certain location because the number 4 and 6 are apparently bad words.
3. Is there a specific thing you have to do in order to bring out the old admin UI? in ASE, you'd press tab and you could type commands in there. I know that you should press the key above tab but it's either just not working for me, or it works every now and then but I haven't figured out what I did to bring it up.

Thank you so much for your help in advance. 🙂

[winged pollen]

There are 4 different people working on server managers, including the original author of ASM. Check ASM Discord

[peak quartz]

nitrado server

[jolly dove]

Where do you see that? I've been in that discord for a while and their FAQ has said no ASA version of ASM development since Oct 6 2023

[jolly dove]

1. The map data is a local file. Not sure why it would reset for you other than something interfering with your cloud save on Steam or something else interferring with your local save data.
2. Chat filters are in your settings. I'm not aware of a server setting for this.
3. You must enable the console in your settings first, then you can click the "~" (tilde key, next to 1) to open admin console.

[grim roost]

1. Where can I look more into it? I'm new to all this and I have no idea where to look.
2. The only chat filters I know in settings are tribe, tribe + alliance, and no one, but none of those help with the censor.
3. You know, I did look for that in the keyboard settings originally, but I must have missed it. I have not set it up to tab again. I hope I didn't break anything else, lol. Thank you for this one!

[jolly dove]

1. I don't remember where I saw it, but if you Google something like "ASA map data file location" or something you'll be able to see where it's located and see if it's getting deleted or overwritten somehow.
2. Check the Ark wiki (Google "Ark Server Settings") for chat filters to see if there's an INI for this. I've never used it/don't know if this is a thing, but clearly you're experiencing something.
3. It's not a keybind setting, it's an actual checkbox setting "Enable console" or something like that. Once that's checkmarked, then you can change the keybind to whatever you want. If that's not checked, your keybind won't do anything either way.

I'm also assuming you're talking about a self-hosted dedicated server as well.

[winged pollen]

DM me, will send link/invites

[grim roost]

On point #3, I don't know if it makes a difference, but I'm on PC/Xbox. However when I now press tab, it comes up 100%, whereas before it didn't.

[grim roost]

Thank you for these tips. I'll look them up!

[limpid glen]

You found a way to enable flyers?

[autumn yarrow]

Yes there were 2 settings I checked, one was allow cave flyers and the other was force allow dino flyers or something like that. Did have trouble at first also a couple dinos still didn't want to allow flying but bread them and could ride the baby.

[limpid glen]

I can’t find force allow flyers in nitrado but I found cave flyers

[autumn yarrow]

Might have to Google that one. I think I had to add it to an ini file. Or maybe someone here actually knows.

[autumn yarrow]

Just go into your GameUserSettings.InI
Under your [Server Settings]
bForceCanRideFliers=True

[autumn yarrow]

Copied that from the forum I found it on.

[peak sapphire]

Just lower your babyfoodconsumption

[feral ibex]

Any advice on what’s going on with my map. Added the gigantoraptor mod and now my KLINGERS rustic and discovery world isn’t working proper.

[valid dagger]

anyone have an issue with items in inventory? like visual bug

[true niche]

Had anyone tested the clustering anymore and had success?

[pure haven]

does ExcludeItemIndices work in ascended if i want to remove some bps from loot crates drop? and how will it work - will it just result in less items in loot crates or those missing bps gonna be replaced with something else?

[rain wolf]

Hi I've added the gigantoraptor mod on my ASA Nitrado server. How is it possible that he never showed up? Is there something I'm doing wrong or not knowing? thanks to those who answer me

[olive talon]

Try making sure it's first in the load order, that helps some users.

[rain wolf]

are you saying to insert the mod first?

[olive talon]

Yes, make sure it's before any other mods.

[rain wolf]

ok thanks I'll try now

[rain wolf]

One last thing, can I do this with the sever started? I mean, I take away all the mods and put them back on, nothing happens? Thank you

[olive talon]

No, stop the server completely and wait a few minutes. Rearrange the mod order, put the gigantoraptor first. Save the changes. Wait a few minutes, and then start the server back up.

[gritty minnow]

Someone have high latency and sometimes timout issues on unofficial servers?

[jaunty vortex]

i don’t think you can do that if you are using the passivemod option for Love Ascended, it needs to be first on the mod list

[distant tiger]

anyone have any ideas.... People are unable to join my server since the last update... The server is in the launcher listing but they keep timing out everytime they try to connect... Last night at on point after restarting the client a few times one person noted the Join button had changed to "Waiting to Join" and on the next restart they managed to logon. I have reset everything on my end. Redone every port forward triple checked even reinstalled ASE and tested connections with one of my friends in another country. ASE connects instantly and tests fine... ASA remains visible but inaccessible to anyone but myself (natloopback) connecting locally.

[distant hearth]

its usuallys a forwarding issue, asa only needs the one udp port forward to show in listings an have people connect, udp7777 default , unless you change it with -port=xxxx in the start command
inbound through the firewall and what ever between u an internet,switches,routers etc

Kinda odd it did work an now doesnt but ark be doing weird ark things all time

[jaunty vortex]

If it’s not showing up, check the server name when it starts up. if there are spaces in the name, the server manager i am using sometimes ignores anything after the first space. name of the server will be in one of the last lines when it’s started.

[distant hearth]

to make it use spaces in the server name just have wrap it in quotations in the start batch i.e SessionName="willz Test"

[jaunty vortex]

yes, i’m talking about this to the server manager developer.

[distant tiger]

Indeed. It is so odd they can see it fine. I even made a quick dirty server no mods and it displayed in the launcher fine within moments... Just none of my friends can join it. Well seems ASA is just borked again since ASE tested fine I guess thats it till something changes. This has really been killing interest in playing ASA for all my friends and family. Cheers for the reply.

[jaunty vortex]

do they get any error? if it’s showing, that implies port forwarding is all ok.

your firewall isn’t blocking inbound requests, is it?

[alpine halo]

Hey if anyone can help itd be greatly appreciated, I started a server two days ago works fine with friends played like 20 hours. Had 2 addons installed previously, but when I put structures plus in, the server does not show on arks list. Thanks!!!

[heady hemlock]

Anyone out there help me with setting up a primitive server? I'm not looking to use Primitive + because there are mods I want. I'm more or less looking for a mod or a list of engrams I need to disable.

[distant tiger]

No if it was blocked in anyway my test with ASE would have failed similarly. Evolved works fine in all connection tests. Even when tested on the exact same ports. ASA is visible on all tested ports just connection times out for everyone.

[jaunty vortex]

Does windows firewall not also work by exe’s name? maybe stop your server, go through the windows firewall and remove all ark references. then start the server and see if you get the elevated privileges pop up to allow the exe to pass through.

i’m clutching at straws, you seem to have covered pretty much everything.

[distant tiger]

Will give that a try maybe something is a little corrupted there. will report back. Ty 🙂

[distant tiger]

That was the one thing I had not done and probably should have but sadly that did not work either. Will just close it down and maybe come back when they cook this game a bit more. Cheers for the replies! ❤️

[wary musk]

Anyone good with ini changes in ASA? In ASE I used to use similar for upping the output of specific node types. I need to do that for crystal currently, is this the right command?
HarvestResourceItemAmountClassMultipliers=(ClassName=“PrimalItemResource_Crystal”,Multiplier=4)
This is usually in game.ini

[distant hearth]

99% of ase commands will work on ase

[wary musk]

Awesome! I'll try it. Thanks for the very quick reply.

[deft stone]

i know its working for the ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemAmmo_AdvancedBullet_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=5000,bIgnoreMultiplier=True))

i realdy dont like to be out of ammo XD

[wary musk]

also good to know

[void jacinth]

My server is still in a restart loop which sucks. I know there was talk going around of issues with the Dwarven builders mod and the AP recovery mod so hoping it’s still just a case of waiting on those mods to be updated by the modders. Has anyone else been able to run their servers properly with those mods yet or is everyone still in the same boat with them?

[slow crane]

Mines still in the restart

[untold turtle]

Does anyone know if the start up file for the island map is automatically cross play or is there something that needs to be inputted to open that up? I have people on Xbox wanting to join our server but most of us are PC and I'm not sure how to verify if they can or not.

[wise kindle]

I believe you have to add it, it defaults to pc.

[fossil lynx]

Looking for official armour and weapons Dura/armour and damage max crafted and saddles

[untold turtle]

Do you know what I'd have to input? I didn't see anything on the server configurations site and everything I see on youtube is for Nitrado servers

[distant hearth]

if it is your own server (not nitrado), asa is xplay by default

[untold turtle]

oh sweet! Thanks 🙂

[distant hearth]

no problem, if you have issues there is start up commands can be used , but im sure be fine

[wise kindle]

oh ty

[wise kindle]

sorry, thought you had to add it. ope.

[untold turtle]

it's no worries! I thought for sure there'd be something to enable

[distant hearth]

nitrado i think you have to tick the boxes?

[wise kindle]

yep, it defaults to pc. I thought you had to do this in selfhost as well judging by the number of times you had to tell ppl the startup line lol. I read too far in.

[distant hearth]

the start command line option is , -ServerPlatform=All
but im 99% sure it defaults to that

[wise kindle]

I wish we had pin rights in this channel.

[distant hearth]

there all in the wiki, just have to ctrl f an search for them, all though i gues it helps i know what to look for as ive read the wiki like 5 times over

[untold turtle]

Thanks so much! I'll see if they can get on without it and I'll try that command if we need to 🙂 You guys are so helpful and awesome

The wiki has a lot of information to sift through for sure lol

[distant hearth]

sure does, i only rem like less than a 1/4 of it

[wise kindle]

You know whats weird? When you look in the wiki, it shows the ASE command, then says use the new one in the description... but the new one isnt listed as its own command.
Weird right?

[distant hearth]

yea just as the wiki gets updated over time i guess. people like to be certain before updating it

[untold turtle]

That is weird. I must have skimmed past it tbh I've been buried in the cluster instructions trying to prep for SE

[wise kindle]

yeah I got a bit lost looking for it.

Someone could make a mint making a tried and true phone app with these commands in it. Cuz the site kinda sucks sometimes.

Of course since we never get info on changes it would constantly be out of date like everything else I guess.

[distant hearth]

be nice if wc just released there list of whats used tbh lmao

[crude narwhal]

Tell me please. The mod won't launch. how will this be fixed. writes this.
thank you in advance
UShooterEngine::LoadGameMods no primal game data found for mod Gigantoraptor : 975282

[wise kindle]

Maybe its a corrupt installation? Try removing the mod folder and redownloading the mod.

[crude narwhal]

Don't you have to throw it in manually? just write it in the ID's bat file?

[wise kindle]

You have to put the mod on your server - download it and also reference it in your bat file.

If there are no mod files on your server for it to use, you will get that error.

Could also get the error if the files got corrupted on download, which is why I said remove the mod folder and redownload it.

[crude narwhal]

Thanks you

[wise kindle]

np hope that helps

[modest grove]

Yo

[primal geyser]

Anyone else has a problem with gigantoraptor spawns in their server ?

[wise kindle]

If its not in the first or second mod spot, it doesnt like to spawn at all.

[primal geyser]

Its the second for me but barely spawns

[wise kindle]

the spawn rate is small, only about 5-8 per map, so if its small its actually supposed to be very very light.

It shares therizino spawns, but its mostly those spawns on the right side of the map.

If you are on PC, use the "cheat listdinos" command about an hour after you do a dino wipe to get a clear picture of your spawns.

you can paste results into a text doc or just hit the "~" a second time and scroll up. Its listed near the bottom of the dino list.

[primal geyser]

Thanks a lot ! 😁

[wise kindle]

[night axle]

Does anyone know a way to enable a notification when server save happens, for an ASE mp server?

[frank egret]

y do you need that? @night axle

[night axle]

Mainly for people that have never played before, or people whom dont understand, so i dont have to explain world save every time it happens lol

[frank egret]

what there to understand its saving the game lol

is there something thats happening while the server is saving?

[night axle]

Its just a quality of life thing thats needed, i have seen others in the past have the same feature

i tried to look into it, but cant find any info on it anywhere

[wise kindle]

Was that a mod Steam thing?

[frank egret]

ive never seen it

[wise kindle]

When I'm in admin it tells me when a save happens, but not as a normal player.

I'm guessing its a mod maybe, if its announcing it.

[distant hearth]

simple to explain, when you see world save message, its saving the world lol
i mean i guess if you got the server saving at 15 min intervals , you cud run a rcon message at 14 min intervals, but just why bother with all that extra stress, when a simple login message cud say. if u see world save, its saving your precious data

[frank egret]

you could probably manipulate rcon to show it but i dont see a reason y ppl would even need to know

[night axle]

I suppose i can just add it to the login message yeah, i was just used to seeing it pop up when other servers entered auto save

must be a mod that i cannot find

[frank egret]

personally if ppl dont know wtf saving world means then theyre not worth my effort of explaining it lol

[distant hearth]

its not a mod, its just someone using rcon to broadcast a message ,
likely on servers that are overloaded an cause lag badly when the save is happening

[frank egret]

i quit holding the hands of the stupid many moons ago lol

[night axle]

Well when you have a new server, and you are looking for a playerbase, you accept anyone and try to explain things XD

[night axle]

Ahhh ic, just an automated rcon message

[frank egret]

in my experience ppl that ask questions liek that dont stick around long and 9 times out of 10 theyre just seeing if the admin is even active and how far they will go to keep ppl happy

[night axle]

True lol

[distant hearth]

if you have a server running good, literally no point in it , imho

[wise kindle]

and they blame you when there is a hair out of place on their dog.

[frank egret]

yep

best advice i can give is pick your battles lol

[distant hearth]

those people never stayed on my servers long

[night axle]

Mines mostly dead head atm anyways, just a couple here and there, im sure itll pick up speed eventually, its new

[frank egret]

its a dying game and ppl are just gonna flock to servers where admins arent around and they can do whatever they want

[wise kindle]

Same. I'll help if I'm asked logical questions tho. But dont ask me how to survive a survival game and why my settings dont give you invincibility.

[night axle]

I mean, come to mine anyone, do whatever you want 😂

[wise kindle]

Do you want ants? Cuz this is how you get ants... and crashed servers lol.

[distant hearth]

i once had a couple leave , after a community vote was decided that a dead server wud become a rotation server, switching maps every 3 months .
This is apparently crazy an not acceptable lolz

[frank egret]

all it takes is one cheater to take down a whole cluster

[wise kindle]

aka... ants

[frank egret]

no matter how you handle a situation ppl will find an excuse to go else where

[night axle]

Well i mean, if the server is so fresh to begin with and no one on really, the cheater wouldnt be achieving much

[frank egret]

it doesnt stop them trust us lol

[night axle]

XD i can imagine

[wise kindle]

nope

[frank egret]

in fact the newer the server the more reason for them to cheat

[distant hearth]

trolls like to troll where ever they can

[frank egret]

god forbid they let ppl build up andbecome a challenge

[wise kindle]

Recovering a dodo bomb isnt fun. Def dont want everyone on your maps. They can do this and much worse damage.

[night axle]

i suppose it even happens on battleye servers?

[frank egret]

battleye is useless

[night axle]

i figured lol

[frank egret]

its a scapegoat to trick ppl into thinking there repercussions for cheating

[night axle]

I remember official gen2 being plauged

[frank egret]

when freinds of the devs/publisher are the worst cheaters nothng is being dsone to stop it

[wise kindle]

Its actually encouraged it seems

[frank egret]

theres a good reason privately ran server where always more popular then officials lol

[night axle]

I never really got to see the dev issues that ive heard about, i quit right before a major part of it began

[distant hearth]

all my servers ran with battleye off, best enforcement is you responding to cheaters/griefers soon as you can

I had zero tolerance for cheaters an 1 warning for griefers

[wise kindle]

What are official counts down to now? It has to be low. Waaay lower than unofficials.

[frank egret]

when officials were at capped 70 players at least 50 of them were cheating lol

theres more ppl playing ase then asa lol

[night axle]

Yep, idk if i would ever buy asa ngl

just like on other games i stay with the classic, its what i loved

[frank egret]

if they didnt constantly lie about shit i would play asa

[wise kindle]

When I played that was accurate, then I went to PVE and realized about 15-20% were cheating (duping) as well. It just never stops.

[distant hearth]

naw only on pc, the console players are loving having mod access, prob 60-70% the player base now

[frank egret]

its the lying that detered me from playing

[night axle]

i havnt really kept up with the asa news, but i hear its rough haha

[frank egret]

thats cuz they never had them before its the oooh shiney effet

[wise kindle]

Can attest, 90% of my playerbase is console still.

[distant hearth]

current asa stats , for players in online servers
Servers38156 Players38765

[frank egret]

then you add in the fact that nitrado hides us private hosters and that makes building a random community almost impossible

[distant hearth]

steam prob showing 12k id guess

[night axle]

holy thats only an average of 1 per server

[distant hearth]

mhmm , lots dead servers

[frank egret]

i killed my entire pvp cluster for ase cuz literally not a single person had been on for weeks

[distant hearth]

the server i was playing on has been dead since xmas, an was dead a few weeks before that really

[frank egret]

most ppl cant afford the hardware to run asa on reasonable settings and actually utilize the graphics changes

[night axle]

Its kind of sad to see modded brazilian servers thriving, and no one speaks any english of course.

[wise kindle]

Tbh its really rough if you dont pay attention to your mods or know how they work and how to fix them.

If you realize the mods can have low quality standards and cause damage, then pay attention to things like frequency of mod updates, its not so bad. You become choosy about your mods. About half the issues ppl are seeing are caused by bad mods or bad mod installations. Ppl installing the latest cool shiny thing get into all kinds of issues.

[distant hearth]

meh people are snobs, asa will run on shit hardawre with the settings low, still looks as good as ase

[frank egret]

if wc actually rebuilt the game liek they claimed it would run 100% better

[wise kindle]

underrated post. I agree.

[frank egret]

thats my point y play a game at 30 fps that looks the same as the old one that you can run at 100fps

[distant hearth]

kinda i guess, it doesnt take much to run it at 60fps 1080p settings low though

[frank egret]

i can run ase on maxed out 2k settings with all the bells and whistles and get 150+ fps, i run asa on the same setings and i get 45

[wise kindle]

I'm glad others agree on this. I hate the whole fps pixel thing. Stop it. It looks fine either way.

[night axle]

did they use the same engine for asa? or switch game engines?

[wise kindle]

new engine, UE 5.2

[night axle]

HA

[frank egret]

the only thing they did for asa was move it to ue5 and click some feature check boxes

[distant hearth]

yea but run it on low an it looks as good as ase imho, prob just my old eyes i play on a 50" 60 fps tv so... prehaps i shudnt say too much

[night axle]

imo UE 5.2 sucks so bad

[frank egret]

to be fair its a new engine and devs havent had alot of time to learn how to fine tune it

[night axle]

True, but it has other issues aswell

[frank egret]

but you port over an already unoptimized game and add even more stuff to its its gonna be bad

[wise kindle]

I actually freaking love the new games built on UE5. They look amazing.

[distant hearth]

anyhow , im sure it will be improved in a few years maybe, i hope, please make it good , fingers crossed

[frank egret]

every other game ive played thats ue5 looks amazing and runs great

[night axle]

Yes the graphics can be a major improvement, sadly it costs alot more hardware too

[wise kindle]

Soon as they learn it and it gets stabilized UE6 will come out.

Then we start all over again

[frank egret]

the worst part is the ue5 has a bunch of stuff that is just click a box to enable and they still mess it up lol

[night axle]

If they finish it by 2030, imagine they finish it just as UE6 arrives

[distant hearth]

on the bright side, i think i figured out my issues with nightingale crashing, so im off to play that for abit 🙂

[wise kindle]

see this is why Ark confuses me so much. The other UE5 games look and run godlike compared to this. The heck.

[frank egret]

like i said befoer if they really did rebuild the game like they claimed then all the old bugs and stuff woul dbe gonae and the game woul dhave 80% less issues

they did a quick and dirty port job then added some fancy bells and whistles and acalled it a new game

i know folks that have uncompiled the old game, and the amount of dead code just taking up space and the amount of rerouting the engine around them instead of taking it out was disgusting

and guess what asa has alot of the same old coding still in it

[distant hearth]

agreed, if this wasnt true , why on earth are there settings for genesis 1 and 2 in the ini .
when those maps are 1 and half two years away.
makes no sense to code that in now

[wise kindle]

My suspicions are confirmed. I always thought there has to be a ton of unused code in there.

[frank egret]

that and look at server transfers

[distant hearth]

identical

[frank egret]

transfers are exactly the same yet they were like hey we need time to redo it

[distant hearth]

well except for the eos id instead steam id

[frank egret]

they didnt redo shit

that id swap is an hr coding job max

and i bet they didnt do it manually either they just checked some boxes and let the engine to it for them

[distant hearth]

i have no idea but it didnt work out well,
the eos id system seems worse , especially when comes to multiple char

[frank egret]

its just indie devs that had a great idea and a decent start then they got lazy cuz of the money they were making

now theyre "AAA" and are way in over their heads

[wise kindle]

I still dont consider them AAA

[frank egret]

i dont either but finacially theyre considered

talent wise they belong back in a basement

[distant hearth]

i can bounce between my two test servers , no issues, i can try an make it break, it wont, stick another .arkprofile for them in the same cluster an it starts causing issues

[frank egret]

it just really sucks that its an amazing idea and all but the execution is just piss poor

[distant hearth]

me either , a- at best imho

[frank egret]

they added way to much way to fast without fixing things along the way

palworld is dominating and they havent added any new content yet, instead theyre fixing the bugs that exist as to not compouind the problem later on unlike wc

enshrouded is doing the same thing and its great

im hoping ppl have finally stopped supporting massive content additions and now see that optimizing before new content is a better experience

i also dont blame wc 100%, snail has just as much if not more of the blame imo

[distant hearth]

im loving nightingale atm, fingers crossed i stopped it crashing . i think it was a my pc issue an not the game hopefully

[frank egret]

yea i have a crashing issue with helldivers 2 rn

which is annoyin gcuz i have current gen hardware lol

[distant hearth]

yea that looks good too, so much good games came out at once

[frank egret]

its about time cuz for years all we got was trash lol

[wise kindle]

For the last 3 years its been a wasteland especially for survival games

I had to go back to playing The Long Dark to get a fix

[frank egret]

anyone play conan recently?

[wise kindle]

yeah its ok for pve with the updates but its getting boring.

I'm waiting for Funcom to release the Dune game tbh.

[frank egret]

at least they fix their bugs lol

[wise kindle]

true that

tho the camel bug was hilarious

[frank egret]

thats another example, conan fixed their bugs before they added more stuff and it runs 100x better then ase ont he same engine

and imo the graphics in conan are beter then ase

[distant hearth]

ive havent played conan in nearly a year , last run through was with the aoc mod. That was great fun

[frank egret]

that was a fantastic mod

in the base game they aded magic and stuff

[wise kindle]

They never fixed transfers tho, so thats disappointing. But the rest is pretty nice.

They did take over a year to fix Twitch drops tho. No idea why that was such a problem.

[distant hearth]

yea that was in, last i played they had just added golems

[frank egret]

its pretty good implemetation the only downside is it completely unbalanced pvp for bit till they fixed some coding bugs

decimal placement is crucial lol

[distant hearth]

lolz

there was a good mod map i played on conan too, savage wilds i think was called

[frank egret]

conan is highly underratted imo

[wise kindle]

that one needs to be official

[distant hearth]

100% its much better than that other map they released as official, cant even rem its name lol

[wise kindle]

I think thats it. Savage Lands

Siptah isnt fun imo. They can have it back. Gimme Savage lands lol.

[frank egret]

if they had a cluster feature it woulda been better

[distant hearth]

the dungeon things in siptah was ok, but overall it was just super easy

[wise kindle]

They did but they disabled it, cuz they couldnt math lol.

You would transfer and get a timer that said you couldnt transfer back for 19000 days lmaooo. Was supposed to be I think like a day or two max.

[distant hearth]

sounds like me adding dino spawns on ark pmsl

[wise kindle]

Its still available to enable on unofficials last time I looked but its not supported. It likes to delete characters and pulls the timer thing on you.

They disabled it on Officials like I think 2 years ago? Or something? I forget, but it was disabled while they fix the issues. Then they said its not coming back.

[distant hearth]

😿

[frank egret]

there is one thing that wc/grapshot did that i thought was very impressive was the server transitions in atlas

[wise kindle]

It was terrible tho. Even if it worked, you couldnt transfer encumbered, certain items were not transferrable and the counter for transfers was annoying as hell.

[wise kindle]

If only it didnt cost a fortune to get a full map, it would have done better. Could only be selfhosted without going broke, that cut out alot of hosting options for alot of the playerbase.

[frank egret]

true btu the fact you could modify the map was a cool feature too

in short, the idea and the execution were very well done

that game also had a ton of potential and they screwed it up lol

[wise kindle]

yep, I started playing it, then went to add it to my cluster and went NOPE. It just kinda dropped off after about a year or so I noticed. I stopped paying attention to it tbh. I know they had alot of issues with it tho.

[frank egret]

was mostly the ai stuff

the base of the game is really well done

its the samme issues ark had at one point with creature movement and stuff being laggy

i feel the fact it was built right on top of ark is y it had those issues

i kinda wanna start up a server cluster for atlas and actually play it through

now tha ti dont have my pvp ase cluster i got resources to do it

[chrome hamlet]

Hey guys can anyone help me setting up my Nitrado server

I don’t get most of the settings 😭

I’m tryna make a 25x

[distant hearth]

google an youtube will be your friend with that ,
side note 25x is kinda crazy an might cause nitrado server to lag/crash a fair bit.
beacon ark omni app can help with server settings but still takes a bit time an effort to learn how it works

[wise kindle]

you might want to try 10x and set it up THEN after its setup and running well, mess with 25x.

[chrome hamlet]

Thank you

[chrome hamlet]

Thanks mate, if I do my research will I be able to have the server set up today

Or is it quite a long process

[frank egret]

once you knmow what your doing its like a 30 min process

for you maybe a couple hrs

[chrome hamlet]

I should’ve thought of this before buying one, I thought it’d be easy as pie

[wise kindle]

oh no no no lol

[chrome hamlet]

😖

[distant hearth]

hard for me to say, im a slow learner tbh ,
i can set them up in under an hour now , but took me long time learning all the ini stuff

[chrome hamlet]

Can anyone set it up for me or walk me threw it? I don’t mind paying for your time

[frank egret]

the fact your using a webui makes it easier then say running it from command line lol

[wise kindle]

Takes about a week to setup a new map the way you want it the first time, less if you arent picky on settings.

[frank egret]

thers also a wiki that will help decipher what the settings do

he coul duse beacon cant he?

[distant hearth]

dont do that, its a never ending story, learn how to do yourself
if you have someone set it up, you wont be able sort out any issues when they happen

[wise kindle]

yep Beacon would set it up for him, mostly anyway.

[frank egret]

beacon does the balancing for you to a point dont it?

[distant hearth]

kinda

[wise kindle]

it tells you the results and has tips on performance usually.

[distant hearth]

beacon is like a easier to understand ui in some ways, but its scary looking at first glance

[wise kindle]

it requires you to read the tutorials, if you can do that they its easy. Most ppl dont like to read tho.

[frank egret]

thers a tutorial lol

[distant hearth]

i swear by beacon for breeding settings, plus any advanced stuff like overirde drops or dino spawns etc.
the rest settings i just do manually now days

[frank egret]

if they could combine that into a server manager it woul dbe amazing

[distant hearth]

i mean it can , shutdown server an copy the settings from the ui into the ini files, so it kinda a manager of sorts

[frank egret]

i mean full management like updates, mod installs etc

kinda like ASM

hell id even pay for it

[distant hearth]

never used asm so no really sure what it does other than write the batch file

[frank egret]

it does everything

has all the settings in goups and stuff and you just plug inthe numbers and it does the rest

it allows for multi server setup as well

[distant hearth]

ah so its just a ui as such for self host

[frank egret]

yea

was the go to manager for ase on windows

[distant hearth]

yea , im kinda glad i spent more time than i care to admit learning how do it manually.
however that does sound nice lmao

[frank egret]

you still needed to know what the settings do but it woul dusually have a tool tip that explains it and gave an example

[wise kindle]

Beacon does allow you to import mods and then use the mod blueprint info if thats what you mean.

[distant hearth]

thats pretty much what beacon does, but for the ini file setup

[frank egret]

yea but asm would install everything for you as well

you just selected the drive location and let her rip

[wise kindle]

you can import any mod and then configure the mod items into drops, change crafting requirements, spawn locations etc.

[frank egret]

yep there was spots for mod settings as well

could change spawn weights with just a ouple clicks

sadly the dev said they werent gonna redo it for asa

[distant hearth]

if u never looked at beacon i recommend checking it out, the free version does a fair bit an the paid is cheap asf anyway .

i just love it for the breeding seting, can change any value an see the effect it has on each an every dino

[frank egret]

ive used beacon just not very much lol

[wise kindle]

I like the drop simulator too. Tells you what your drops will look like when you change settings. Saved me alot of issues.

[distant hearth]

same

its the only way i cud get the weights right

[frank egret]

i used the breeding balancing on beacon but that was about it

[wise kindle]

yeah and you just spam the reroll and see how they change and vary. Its great.

[frank egret]

the supply drops were pretty balanced already compared to ase lol

[distant hearth]

when was on xbox ase, no mods, so beacon was awesome for adding dinos to maps, custom drops etc

[frank egret]

never cared for ark on console

ran like trash and the graphics were terrible compared to pc

[wise kindle]

Its essential for setting up a taming map. Theres no way I could edit the current spawns correctly without it.

[frank egret]

to me the cross platform stuff is the biggest win for asa everything else is the sdame imo

[distant hearth]

i dint know any better, was a console pleb from aged like 18 to 35
weirdly i had pc back when they were 486 an early pentiums lol

[wise kindle]

Its gotten alot better.

I have Ark on Steam, Win10 and Series X. The Series X runs it the best lol. Only cuz it never crashes. I'm not a pixel nerd so I dont care what it looks like, even tho they look pretty good on all of them.

[frank egret]

i got back into pc stuff when i was like 22

i have a $4000 pc so im a grpahics snob lol

[wise kindle]

I started as a pc nerd, then worked in IT for 25 years. Now I cant wait to get off my pc everyday and sit on my couch to relax and game lol.

[frank egret]

if i wanted subpar id go console

[distant hearth]

yea mines like £750 lol dunno what that is in $ , but the parts here are dearer so ...

[frank egret]

i sit on my couch and use my pc so...

yea uk pricing is insane to me

[wise kindle]

I have one too, I still cant stand it. I send my pc screen to my tv and use a controller if its not crossplay.

[frank egret]

wven canada has terrible prices

[distant hearth]

same, ngl i use mine a s a glorified console an media centre

[wise kindle]

bro... Media Center. The memories.

[frank egret]

mines pretty much the same, i use it when i have ppl over and we do like MK tournaments and stuff

for streaming my plex stuf fi just use the apps in my firesticks

[distant hearth]

i have bad internet lol, d/l over night an fill up disk drives

[wise kindle]

I dont think any one remembers the Media Center windows edition. Its best no one does anyway lol.

[distant hearth]

lmao

[frank egret]

i rememebr it

[wise kindle]

Sorry to make you pull that outta the attic lol.

[frank egret]

my dad had all his stuff in media center, now its all swapped over to plex

[wise kindle]

You can just put that back under the Microsoft Bob and Atari 2600.

[frank egret]

i do liek the layout and functionality of plex tho it just has a bit more setup

[distant hearth]

when i was at school we had bbc acorns, think it was a uk thing, but basically pre 386 lol

[wise kindle]

omg. burn it lol

[frank egret]

your clearly older then me by a bit lol

[wise kindle]

That said, I pay top dollar for those big old clicky keyboards. They will never die.

[deft stone]

is pre 386 bad?

[frank egret]

ive got a corsair mech keyboard i love

[deft stone]

im pre 8086 😦

[distant hearth]

in high school , they got a grant an built an I.T centre, was running windows nt if i rem correct

[frank egret]

386 is like 90's hardware lol

[wise kindle]

I love the clickies and the key placement.... you KNOW you hit that key

[frank egret]

i like the short stroke as well

[deft stone]

in fact im pre-pong 😢

[frank egret]

it takes like 1-1.5 mm of travel to activate a key on mine

[wise kindle]

I had to support Novell on an NT network in another life. That was interesting. And Lotus Notes lmao.

[deft stone]

yes me to it was so bad 😄

[frank egret]

feel like im th eonly non IT guy in the convo rn lol

[wise kindle]

Worked with a guy who thought Notes was king of email.

I just got my MS Cert in Exchange... we had many words lol. Was a nice guy tho.

[distant hearth]

nah im a tech nooby really, mechanic by trade

[frank egret]

yay a fellow tradesman lol

[deft stone]

i learn to make a CV on WordPerfect 5.1 XD

[wise kindle]

CV?

[distant hearth]

lmao we did have some sort office prob the first version

[deft stone]

curriculum vitae exccuse me im french speaking

[frank egret]

[deft stone]

[distant hearth]

i understood , is called cv in uk too , our I.T lessons were learning how use , paint, excel, publisher, word an acess

[frank egret]

[deft stone]

i had a cobol class 😦

[chrome hamlet]

Ok I’m nearly set up I just can’t find where I set the starter xp

[distant hearth]

starter xp ?

[wise kindle]

oh god cobol noooo

[frank egret]

i learned the entire microsft suite in highschool

[deft stone]

Cobol is the only language build by a Woman... 35 page of preliminary for 1 page of exécution 😆

[chrome hamlet]

Like I want people to spawn with all level points

[frank egret]

just set the xp to 100x lol

[distant hearth]

oh thats getting fancy , you wud need some custom code in the game.ini
or do as trident said an hit one rock to get it

[frank egret]

thats how 99.99% of servers do that max lvl stuff

i honestly cant stand those unless its just straight pvp

[distant hearth]

oh lol i dunno never played nowt that boosted. i do know it can be done in the ini so just spawn with it lol

[deft stone]

i think you can change XP needed for each level... set it to 1 and just craft something to get lvl 100

[frank egret]

ive played around on random servers to see what ppl liked

[wise kindle]

Who here typed in the game codes into a Commodore 64? pages and pages of them.

[frank egret]

i was like 5 when those were a thing lol

[wise kindle]

This was my child hood lmao

[distant hearth]

yep , my god that was tedious, hours an hours . dint save either so god forbid you got a power cut

[wise kindle]

I was like 10 I think

[deft stone]

i did

[frank egret]

bunch of old farts in here lol

[wise kindle]

yep, could lose power and you lost your mind lmao

[distant hearth]

id been a similar age, maybe touch younger

[deft stone]

hey be polite! We are not old, we are EXPERIMENTED 😄

[frank egret]

[wise kindle]

you qualify for every job I think with that lol

[wise kindle]

omgoodness

[frank egret]

in like 5th grade is when imacs wer the big thing

[distant hearth]

ah i like, 20 with 20 years experience

[wise kindle]

We must have been rich cuz we had TWO floppy drives and a PRINTER

[frank egret]

funny how most ppl dont even have a printer anymore lol

[deft stone]

it means that im at my 30th years in 20 year old 😄 (im 50)...

[wise kindle]

I just turned 15 wym

[frank egret]

jesus yep im the child here lol

[distant hearth]

lmao yea we was poor, my dad got it broken an a guy across the road fixed it for us lol

[deft stone]

good old matrix printer... unbreakable 🙂

[wise kindle]

it was christmas presents mostly. Its what we all asked for every christmas, hardware and games or more of those big thick code books lmao

[frank egret]

lol, i have an epson that like 3 years old and stil works and im impressed by it lol

[wise kindle]

I still have an Apple IIe in my garage, still boots up.

I been holding off on making it into a fish tank.

[frank egret]

old stuff was crazy reliable

[wise kindle]

oh wait no its a c... Apple IIc

The little box one.

[frank egret]

should build a sleeper in it

[wise kindle]

its tiny tho

[frank egret]

ahve you seen ppl do that?

[wise kindle]

yep

[distant hearth]

first one we had was a commodore vic 20, then a c16 +4 , then the c64 . had an atari 2600 too at some point . then prob it was a master system after

[frank egret]

seen a guy take a crt panel and build a whole pc in it and replace the screen with a lcd panel

[deft stone]

Tandy coco2 🙂

[wise kindle]

omg you had a vic 20?? bro thats actually dope

we went straight to a 64

[distant hearth]

yep i was very young then , maybe like 8

[wise kindle]

thats still cool tho

[distant hearth]

yea , we was poor so was always years after they came out lol, was prob 1991 had the vic 20

i can remeber it had cartridges , an some weird game a bit like dig dug but much more primitive

[wise kindle]

lmao

[distant hearth]

c64 i think bubble bobble was best game , had it on a tape .
the rest were crap that we used a book for an half time dint work coz we messed a line somehwere lolz

[frank egret]

y are yall not making your own games lol

[distant hearth]

i also still have a working atari 2600 woodgrain ,
keep meaning to ebay it as i just use emulators now if i want a bit nostalgia

[deft stone]

me too

[wise kindle]

Sell it to me lol. I had an old boyfriend steal it and the 90 some games I had. Never did get it back. I hate ppl.

He even took the Kaboom paddles.

[distant hearth]

we was lower class tbh , no time to learn, had to go work an earn £, at age 14 i was working in a scrapyard for £15 a week

[distant hearth]

that sucks, i dont that many games, about 30 i think from memory , its up in the loft .
i slowly just collected more games over years for it as people gave them to me or i found at carboot sales, flea markets etc

[wise kindle]

I had zero interest in ruining my gaming by getting paid for it. I was a mechanical engineer for years before I gave in and went into IT. And now I'm done with that noise.

[wise kindle]

let me know if you want to rehome it sometime tho

[frank egret]

hoinestly i feel like that mentality is y games are socrap now, theyre not made by real gamers anymore

[distant hearth]

will do, though i expect shipping be a nightmare

[frank egret]

i dont blame you for feeling that way tho

[wise kindle]

Completely true. Look at the Diablo devs - their demo specificially. They didnt even know how to play.

This happens far too much now.

[frank egret]

but you look back at like diablo 2 when the devs were actually gamers

it snight and day

[wise kindle]

Id love a consultant job but that would require ppl to listen to gamers. God forbid they ever do that.

[distant hearth]

lol

[frank egret]

i mena you can start your own studio

have any of you seen subsistence?

[wise kindle]

Look at Halo. Those morons at MS Games knowingly hired devs that openly hated Halo with a burning passion.

How could things possibly go wrong?

[frank egret]

lol

[wise kindle]

Nah, I hate ppl, computers, gamers and waking up in the morning. Thats not for me lmao.

[deft stone]

you are normal 😄

[frank egret]

thats a fair point lol

[distant hearth]

was just gonna say he described me

[frank egret]

i can deal with ppl in small groups

anymore then like 6 ppl at a time and its to much lol

[wise kindle]

I can deal with ppl after they are gone.

[deft stone]

i can deal with people, i cant deal with stupidity

[wise kindle]

Even better if they never show up.

[distant hearth]

my idea of small group is 4 max

[frank egret]

eh im ex military so i have more ppl tha ti can tolerate, when it comes to the everyday type then maybe 3 max lol

[wise kindle]

anyway, I gotta go cook food bbl guys

[deft stone]

i did it earlier

[frank egret]

damn it im reminded i havent eaten today, y would you do that to me lol

[deft stone]

food the only good reason to leave video games 😄

[distant hearth]

lol, i cooked earlier, near zzz time now . Just running some more stress test on pc see if i fixed it crashin randomly,
some reason it doesnt like the stock memory xmp, or docp w.e it called on amd
gonna be a boring ass day tomoz trying get it run stable at some sort oc if this standard speed tests out ok

[deft stone]

later guy need to go watch an hockey game 🙂

[scenic bloom]

can every dino be configured to spawn in certain areas? specifically event dinos? I can config party dodos to spawn and they do, but bunny dodos only spawn with commands.

are some dinos just not able to be spawned via config?

[frank egret]

the valentines day stuff isnt in the base game yet so need to have the mod passive

[scenic bloom]

Im in ASE forgot to specify

[distant hearth]

event stuff in ase prob glitchy, half the events no longer work afaik

[frank egret]

oh lol

idk then

[scenic bloom]

is there a dev I can ask?

[frank egret]

not here lol

[scenic bloom]

damn

[frank egret]

devs dont care about us hosters

[distant hearth]

they pretty much gave up on ase , if it dont work it dont work unfortuneately

[scenic bloom]

im sure theyd be able to at least tell me if they coded the game to work that way

[frank egret]

giving them way to much credit lol

[scenic bloom]

😔

[distant hearth]

was gonna say , id be suprised if they even know what works an doesnt

[frank egret]

do you have the events active?

[scenic bloom]

nope, i tried activating the easter event to see if it would make the config work, and I still got no eaaster dino spawns. I know the bunny dodo and bunny oviraptor are still in the game because I can spawn them with commands

[frank egret]

the spawning code is probably broken

[wise kindle]

ASE creatures generally are not available outside the dates that the events are active. The party dodo was the exception as it was added to the base game code. All other creatures are pretty much gone gone for natural spawning. And since there are no more events, they are truly gone. Outside of mods that is.

Except maybe the zombie wyverns and maybe zomdodos. But thats pretty much it.

[distant hearth]

yea what snow said , you can active events but pretty much just gives the coloured dinos iirc

[frank egret]

it slike they preimptively were set to kill the game lol

[scenic bloom]

I havent tried those ones yet with config, but i know i can spawn them with commands

[distant hearth]

one reason i like that asa is using mods for events, if they ever manage to get them to not be bugged tf

[scenic bloom]

Im trying to add like every event dino as a possible spawn for its normal spawn. Like ghost dinos, skeletal, zombie, etc

[frank egret]

theyre using mods cuz it makes it easier to implement lol

[scenic bloom]

i have a list of like 33 dinos that dont spawn naturally

including R-Dire bear and Tek giga

[distant hearth]

yea especially for pushing patches, still i think its a better long tem method if it works right

[frank egret]

im not argueing that point

the downside is when they make changes that break the mods

we all know if the event isnt active theyre not gonna care about it

[distant hearth]

true

[scenic bloom]

how realistic would making myself a mod for this stuff be? is it moddable?

[distant hearth]

somethings just arent able to work for what ever reason unless use a mod, like tek giga was never actually a base game dino? was a genesis mission thing i think

[frank egret]

that really depends on your knowledge of making a mod

if the asset is in the mod tool then it shouldnt be too hard if you know what your doing

[scenic bloom]

realistically if I cant figure something out I would comission one

[wise kindle]

Correct. And the R dire bear was removed last minute to fix a different spawn. Still spawnable in game via command tho.

[scenic bloom]

does ASE still have an active community?

[distant hearth]

have a look through the mod list , half the time if you can think of it, already a mod for it

[frank egret]

more active then asa lol

but its pretty dead afiak

[wise kindle]

Not really active for modding so much tho.

[scenic bloom]

theres also like 3 different dodorexes i learned.

[distant hearth]

dont take this the wrong way, but why wud you even want that stuff? theres much better ase dino mods tbh

[frank egret]

yea they made differnt ones for differnt events

[scenic bloom]

you can spawn them all via commands. One is the event, one is gen2 gauntlet, last one is turkey trial

[distant hearth]

paleo, krakens, etc add so much

[scenic bloom]

I missed out on a lot of events, never got to get the dodowyvern or even fight the dodorex

[distant hearth]

ah ok that kinda make sense

[scenic bloom]

plus i like learning about configurations

[wise kindle]

Even primal fear has better dinos tbh

Ah well i thought there were event mods in ASE, that simulated the events. Are those gone now?

[scenic bloom]

Im not sure, I briefly checked the workshop and all i saw was a fear evolved one and the comments made it seem like it was broken as far as i understood

[frank egret]

to be fai rthe events themselves were always broken

[wise kindle]

With mods you def have to test them yourself tbh.

[distant hearth]

since you can spawn them in, why no sapwn them in an fight them ? i dunno i understand wanting find it naturally , just think u will need a mod to do it

[scenic bloom]

finding it naturally yeah, even if i did everything legitimately id still feel like i cheated if i spawned it in to fight it

maybe i can make an item that summons it similar to the savage acro

[distant hearth]

ase has so much better content than wc broken ass events imo , especially once ya get into mods
loads maps , full game over hauls etc

[scenic bloom]

kinda unrelated but why does gmsummon not always work but spawndino does? whats the difference?

[frank egret]

DOX is awesome

[distant hearth]

gm summon always worked for me, it spawns in a tamed dino of the level you choose

[scenic bloom]

like the gmsummon for super turkey didnt work but the spawn dino did, and they had their AI still

i guess just summon not gm summon

[distant hearth]

ah that s probably not a normally tameable one so the gmsummon wont work

[frank egret]

even non normally tamed stuff still shoul dwork with gm

[scenic bloom]

hmm

I wish there was more info online about this stuff

wiki is only helpful to a point

[frank egret]

welcome to hosting ark lol

[scenic bloom]

i was trying to configure the ark additions domination rex and it took me like 2 hours just to find the engram entries and item IDs in order to make them autounlock and change craft recipe

[distant hearth]

everything non official is pretty much guess work/ trial an error , they just dont /wont /cant release the info

[scenic bloom]

The only time ive ever really been upset at wildcard was the singelplayer save wipe that happened just before gen2 came out

[scenic bloom]

cant? why not?

[distant hearth]

i have no idea was just a guess hence i put it in with , dont/wont

it makes zero sense to me why they dont support the unoffical community more

[frank egret]

nitrado is y

[scenic bloom]

how many employees does wildcard have? is it a small team?

[frank egret]

107 ppl

[distant hearth]

nitrado is semi un official though, you wud think they wud want more info out about custom configs an stuff....
second thoughts yea you prob right, they just want to churn out sales of basic servers so they dont have to bother with support

[frank egret]

they get way more info then we do

[distant hearth]

yea you wud think /hope so...
still think wc stuck up two fingers too them releasing transfers before nitrado had it ready

[frank egret]

nah nitrado is just that incompetent

[distant hearth]

yes u may well be right , the almost non existent customer support is crazy

[frank egret]

not when you have cornered the market in it, then theres no competition therefore no reason to actually support your customers

tesla is a prime example of this

[distant hearth]

the crazy thing though , repeat customers shud be there main priority imo. even with there semi monoply, people aint going back if they cant make it work

[scenic bloom]

does increasing crafting skill make you craft things faster?

[frank egret]

theres less ppl then you think that just call it quits

[distant hearth]

yea , plus better stats from blueprints

[frank egret]

only in personal inv tho does it make it faster

[scenic bloom]

and theyre locked together?

[distant hearth]

yea i guess so with the amount servers online per player count being almost 1-1

[scenic bloom]

I want to increase my player craft speed without increasing craft bonus, or does crafting skill bonus only work on physical bp items?

[frank egret]

only works on bps for the buff

regular engrams will jsut be faster

[scenic bloom]

so if i change my base crafting skill to like 100 it will make me craft faster without buffing?

200*

[frank egret]

unles your using a bp

[scenic bloom]

bet

[distant hearth]

crafting bonus is a seperate code line to crafting skill.so you cud lower it an increase crafting skill, to try equal out the eefects but it prob take a fair bit trial an error

[scenic bloom]

would i have to reverse that if i did wanna get the bonus on bps?

[frank egret]

so crafting bonus is a seperate setting that will further boost crafting skill item buffs

[distant hearth]

yea i never tried it, but in theory it wud work

edit crap, i reads that wrong, i though it said did not

[frank egret]

crafting skill uses the base game algorithym, crafting bonus boosts that algorithym

[scenic bloom]

"11 CraftingSpeedMultiplier 0.0 100% (Base cannot be increased)" via wiki

[frank egret]

so 10% in crafting skill will give a slight boost to speed and a slight boost in bp's ie damage. crafting bonus adds aditional boost to the atributes of the bp

hope that helps

[scenic bloom]

thank you

[steady rampart]

What’s it gon take to make transfers better?

[lunar cloud]

patience

[jolly ridge]

Do unofficials have transfers?

[frank egret]

asa or ase?

[jolly ridge]

Asa

[frank egret]

yes if the hoster has it set up

[jolly ridge]

Do u no of any servers that have it, cuz I just went to 10 “clusters” and none had it open

[frank egret]

given that theres only one map most ppl probably only have one map rn

they probably put cluster cuz they plan on adding maps

[jolly ridge]

I understand that but there is plenty of servers with the same name then isl#1,2,3 etc

Like elite ark for example has many isl maps but no transfer

[frank egret]

that doesnt mean theyre clustered

some of us that have multiple maps will name them the same so ppl know whos it is if they like that hoster but a map is full then they can find the others easily

transfers are kinda of a mess lately so most ppl probably arent linking them together

[untold ginkgo]

Just FYI for those who own a server and are still having issues with the uploads/downloads of items and survivors: in our server we decided to test and unchecked “disable downloading player information of remote servers” which was previously used to prevent the single player downloads but right after we did that we were able to fully use transfers. I went to SP and uploaded couple things and went back to my server and it did not show in the data, nor the uploaded survivor I had. Figured I’d share since we finally don’t have any more issues with it

[chrome hamlet]

Anyone know anyone who I can pay to code my server how I want it ?

[worthy rapids]

I'm trying to setup the new Svartalfheim map with the option to not allow item transfer, but even if my character is naked and nothing in inventory/cosmetic, I'm getting: Items Not Allowed - The server tou are attempting to join doesn't allow transferring items. Drop your items and try again.

NoTributeDownloads=False
PreventDownloadSurvivors=False
PreventDownloadItems=True
PreventDownloadDinos=True
PreventUploadSurvivors=False
PreventUploadItems=True
PreventUploadDinos=True

[wise kindle]

Try NoTributeDownloads=False

[worthy rapids]

I tried with that as well and I'm getting the error. With it to True, it doesn't work either, but no message

[wise kindle]

Are you clustering 2 different modes? As in one is PVP and one is PVE?

[worthy rapids]

Both are PVE

transfer works fine if I allow everything to be transfered, but if I do not allow items, the game complains about it. I wonder if it thinks the implant or the new personal cosmetics are counting as "items"

[wise kindle]

Are both map settings exactly the same then? The settings above I mean. If one is different that error seems to be the default response.

Ohhh ok ok i see

[worthy rapids]

one server has True to everything and the other one has some stuff disabled

[wise kindle]

No i think you are seeing a bug tbh.

[worthy rapids]

yeah I think so :/

[wise kindle]

Someone else had a similar issues. He filed a bug and just disabled transfers for the moment.

[worthy rapids]

yeah, I left it allowed for survivor transfer and hopefully it will start to work once they fix the issue

[wooden edge]

anyone know why inventiry items are invisible could it be a mod

[uneven flame]

For the custom cosmetics whitelist the conifg goees in gus.ini right? and do i need a url for each mod, or a like document link with the links to mods?

[severe copper]

Thank you! Will try this later to see if it fixes some of cosmetics not working

[arctic basin]

Hello people, any idea why my PVP server have 200ms when full dinos? when i destroywilddinos i got 50ms ... any solution ? thanks
Server perf are all OK (RAM 50%, NETWORK OK, WRITE OK, PROC 30%)

[wise kindle]

High ping issues were first noticed with a patch that came out before the Love Evolved event. Basically, its probably the game. Need to wait for more performance optimizations.

[wise kindle]

You add the mods in a comma separated text doc at your url. You put them all into one.

[peak quartz]

hello can anyone dm who knwo how to set up serrver

i wanna make it so my dino are over 500 and i wanna make it so u get like 200 per gather ?

[arctic basin]

damn 😢 october my pvp havent any problems, now we cant play in good conditions.

[distant hearth]

the dino levels is easy enough, change this line in the gameusersetting.ini to this number
OverrideOfficialDifficulty=17

not sure what you mean by 200 per gather, if you mean harvesting rates then its not that simple as gathering scales with whats used to get it ,
by hand to get 200 stone u wud need to use 200x gathering which is insanity an prob crash the server , try setting at like 15x to start ,

HarvestAmountMultiplier=15

[wise kindle]

200 gather would crash most players off the map. Unplayable for most anyway, the rest would lag their butts off.

[peak quartz]

it was example lol

[peak quartz]

ty also what about breeding speed?

wanna make it so i can breed ever 5mins for a few sec then ever 1 hour

[wise kindle]

Ok then ignore this.

[distant hearth]

i recommend a program called ark beacon omni , to get them set exactly how you want
as ive no idea what you mean by breeding every 5 mins and every hour

[wise kindle]

Its an example 😂

[peak quartz]

ok i look it up just wanna have faster breeding atm

[wise kindle]

Sorry I had to

[peak quartz]

ur fine i was on someone else server and the dino can breed like ever 10mins i like hole

[distant hearth]

theres alot factors with breeding, how fast dinos can mate again, how fast babies raise, how long you want the imprints to be, how many imprints etc etc

[peak quartz]

i can start then change i just wanna try get used to setting it up i feel so slow

[wise kindle]

Breeding intervals or time to breed?

[peak quartz]

how fast they mate

i wanan upgrade the maiting speed but i look at the site u said

[distant hearth]

MatingIntervalMultiplier=0.005
in the game ini , will make them be able breed again after , 5-15 mins

[peak quartz]

ok ty so much help i sux at this and i am new i trying to make it so me and my son can play he on ps5 i on pc

[distant hearth]

np, like i say the program i said really does help as it explains better

[peak quartz]

i looking at it now

[wise kindle]

Beacon is the go to. Be sure to take time to read the tutorials. Once you get setup and follow those you will find this much easier.

[peak quartz]

oh how dou add fibercater where u use fiber to make stuff

yeah i been trying even watching youtube videos

just wondering about the fiberr thing cause was gonna test

[wise kindle]

There is a fibercraft how to in Beacon I believe. Its multiple settings.

[distant hearth]

i can tell you its a whole lot hassle without beacon, basically hundreds lines code like this for each item ,
ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemAmmo_AdvancedBullet_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Fibers_C",BaseResourceRequirement=1,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False)))
ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemAmmo_AdvancedRifleBullet_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Fibers_C",BaseResourceRequirement=1,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False)))

[peak quartz]

i am slow i need download it lol

oh lol

[distant hearth]

im not sure if the free version of beacon can setup a fiber craft server for you.
the paid 100% does as its where i just pulled those first two lines from

[peak quartz]

we see

[wise kindle]

Note that Fibercraft can be hundreds of code changes. So best to let Beacon do that for you.

That said the paid version is worth it and more.

[peak quartz]

so i just copy past

[wise kindle]

If you are on nitrado you just hit the deploy button.

[distant hearth]

those lines wont help you , there is hundreds of lines like that needed for fibre craft

[peak quartz]

i know that i ment after i go into beacon and set up

[wise kindle]

Let Beacon do it.

[distant hearth]

oh you can do it two ways, hit export an copy paste each ini,
or you can add your server to beacon with import , then have beacon shut the server down an do it for you with the deploy button

[wise kindle]

@distant hearth Do you see the invis inventory alot in admin mode? I get it like every single time now. And it comes and goes while I test transfers. Im starting to think its not bad mod installs.

[distant hearth]

i havent been playing lately or doing any testing on the last few updates tbh .
I had some issues with my computer that i think i finnaly resolved , plus the server i was playing on is dead .
plus i been playing mostly nightingale or skyrim

[wise kindle]

Lmao ok np. Im just trying to document all the transfer weirdness atm and noticed it. Nightengale is a GREAT game too.

[distant hearth]

yea it kept crashing on me, so i wasnt able to get past tutorial, turns out was my computer at fault not the game haha

[wise kindle]

Oof. This is why I hate computers.

And ppl. And mornings.

[distant hearth]

lolz

[karmic junco]

im tryna host a non dedicated session for my friends and it doesnt pop up or anything but when they somehow join by steam they get timed out anyone knows what to do to fix it?

[distant hearth]

all on the same platform ? i.e steam or epic etc

[karmic junco]

ye we are all on steam

[distant hearth]

non dedi is glitchy at best but if no one can join then likely your firewall,router or any anti virus you might use is blocking in coming connections

[karmic junco]

thats crazy

[distant hearth]

?

[wise kindle]

Non dedi setups are known for being constantly awful to stay connected to. So this doesnt get much better, just so you know.

[karmic junco]

so what should i host if not non dedi

[wise kindle]

Dedicated has 1000% better connections.

[karmic junco]

but i gotta pay for it right?

[distant hearth]

which ever way you do it, still got open ports an firewall to let incoming connections in

[wise kindle]

You can selfhost it.

[distant hearth]

oh unless you rent a server ofc

[karmic junco]

isnt it bad?

[wise kindle]

Selfhost? Its not bad. How is that bad?

[karmic junco]

idk i think someone told me before is trash

[distant hearth]

depends on your pc and the internet connection

[wise kindle]

Thats alot to say with no context lol.

If you have a total crap pc and total crap internet, maybe its bad. If you dont you should be good lol.

[distant hearth]

tbf my shitty laptop cant play ark or any game but it wud host an evolved server no issues , if my internet wud cope lmao

[wise kindle]

Yeah my inconsistent power would anger ppl i think.

[distant hearth]

lolz

[inner sinew]

anyone know when there adding valentines cosmetics to the main game?

still have valentines mod on server and am wanting to get rid of it

[distant hearth]

no clue, they havent given an eta

[wise kindle]

Yep, we are all playing the mod space juggle game atm waiting for the ok to remove it.

[normal canyon]

Is there anybody losing their character after they transfer few times and log off and then log on to find out they lost their character or is it just me

[wise kindle]

If you are logging off just prior to a server restart, your map may be rolling back slightly and deleting your character.

Thats not necessarily whats happening, but thats just a guess off the top of my head as this has been a thing in the past.

[normal canyon]

do you have a bat file that will shut down the server and do a save

[wise kindle]

Most ppl use RCON tools for that, like Battlemetrics

I dont know if there are bat commands that do that tbh. I use the RCON stuffs.

The saves I mean, cuz the save commands tend to break every other patch.

[normal canyon]

yeah i used ark server manager for ase and it did that for you

[wise kindle]

try that maybe?

[normal canyon]

yeah it dose not support asa

[distant hearth]

when u want to shut down the server if its self host, use
cheat saveworld
cheat doexit
from in the gam e

[normal canyon]

I miss that server manager

[distant hearth]

cheat doexit
shud save an sutdown but i like to be safe an use both

[peak quartz]

ok i give these hole beacon thing gotten me

i need a co host some point XD

[deft stone]

i use only cheat doexit and never had a problem.

but if you close the server with the X button ... i think it save now, but couple of week ago it was not saving

[distant hearth]

i like to be safe lmao , your talking to the guy that has ase backups from like 6 years ago hehe

[deft stone]

same here 🙂

[distant hearth]

storage space is cheap lmao , plus there just on old hdd no longer used now , so they can sit in the drawer

[deft stone]

I realy like when you start a fresh map, at some point the grinding for breading take too long (single player)

i have too much maps at the same point,

[chrome hamlet]

Does anyone offer a server settings service

[wise kindle]

@solemn zephyr does these @chrome hamlet

[chrome hamlet]

Ok thanks

[robust bough]

Any one know how to change points per level on speed for dinos on a server I just need the ini code the one I have is doing all stats

[wise kindle]

I think its 9:

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[9]=2.0
For 2x points per speed

[distant hearth]

the wiki link explains better but basically ,
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[9]=1
is the default , so change the =1 to =2 an you double it

wiki link here ,
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#Stats_related

yep its the 9 stat

[wise kindle]

oh dinos!
yeah look at w1llz

I read that wrong

[distant hearth]

same shit, once u know how do it , all just same

[wise kindle]

yeppers

[distant hearth]

just knowing the differnt lines

which i dont , so i use the wiki haha

[wise kindle]

I had to look it up, which is doubly bad cuz I consciously looked up the wrong one lmao

[robust bough]

This is what I have but it’s affecting HP stat 🤦🏻‍♂️

[wise kindle]

Do you have a mod running that effects dino stats? Cuz by design the game stats dont effect each other.

[distant hearth]

hp stat shud be [0] iirc

[peak quartz]

my server keep restarten

[robust bough]

No only a few mods nothing like that at all tbh just some structure stuff and prime stacks

[wise kindle]

Whats your PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[0] set to?

[robust bough]

Yh I know it’s the only thing that was changed after restarting hp almost double on some dinos

[peak quartz]

There are some errors in your data you provided. Please check the changed field and follow the hints below the input fields

message i got when starten server

[distant hearth]

anothe rthing in asa broken is all i can think then ,
double check you dont have duplicate lines of code is all els ei can think

[wise kindle]

look for red fields, if you dont want those set, set them to 0. Save and restart.

[peak quartz]

ok

[robust bough]

I’m not personally editing it but im trying to help a friend but i will pass it all on TY

[wise kindle]

yeah have him double check this line AND look for this line duplicated. It happens more often than you think.

[distant hearth]

yep best tip i can give, copy the text, paste it in notepad , then use ctrl an f to search , amount times get duplicates lol

[wise kindle]

This is what I have to do.
