Oh

Ok thanks👍

Anyone know how to fix structure decay timers?

I have them enabled but not working for pve

[sacred kestrel]

Has ark fixed the issue with transferring with item transfers disabled ?

[slender sparrow]

I have an Ubuntu server with a single Ark server running using ARK: Survival Evolved Linux Server Tools. My group is wanting to have a separate modded server in which we have totally new characters from our main server now. I started a server and tried to join, but it brought over my character from the main server without needing to transfer (i.e. upon login it gave me the respawn option). For this to work will I need to have different Ark server directories for each server to have individual characters?

[slender sparrow]

Totally missed this, thank you!

[ionic linden]

anyone who played the Omega mod, I need help, why does nothing lay eggs?

I could quite literally not find it

[olive talon]

The omega discord is linked on the curseforge website in every Omega mod page.

[ionic linden]

thx guys

[olive talon]

If you're on ASE, the discord is still the same.

[wind leaf]

Any suggestion for server manager on windows? I was using windows GSM but, it stopped working a while ago and ended up joining a public server.

[karmic sage]

I deleted and reinstalled all mods now when i try join my server it doesn’t let me takes me straight back to menu, i have to sit for an hour joining random servers to install different mods to then go and join my actual server. anyone know how to fix this?

[jaunty vortex]

There’s a few. I’m using Brad’s ASAM

[wind leaf]

@jaunty vortex thank you

[stuck orchid]

Can anyone help. We have both island and scorched maps but we cant seem to transfer between them they dont even show on the ob when trying to transfer but as far as we can tell all settings for cross ark are correct

[rose frigate]

you have the cluster code set the same, yes?

[wind leaf]

I've seen them before. Thank you, I might investigate that option.

[maiden niche]

hey Everyone, Anyone know how to increase max player level in unofficial server on Nitrado?

[keen sorrel]

I can't seem to get steamCMD to download a Linux version of the dedicated server. Does it not exist or?

[native wave]

no linux version yet

[keen sorrel]

Alright good to know thank youu

[native wave]

assuming you're talking about ASA @keen sorrel

[keen sorrel]

Yeah

[keen sorrel]

My new issue is I can't seem to get the server to show up in the list at all, I can't even join it with the open command. But it appears as if it's running just fine, I have all ports forwarded properly.

start S:\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?SessionName="Lulzland" -winliveMaxPlayers=69 -NoBattlEye

No idea if something is wrong in the formatting or what.

[native wave]

only need one port forwarded...the game port, the only other port is the RCON port. Don't know if it would make a difference but this is the capitalization I have on mine: WinLiveMaxPlayers

[keen sorrel]

It's just the server port and the query port

[native wave]

there is no query port for ASA....it no longer uses the Steam API

[keen sorrel]

ah

Well, I don't see how having it forwarded would prevent the server from showing up though o.O

[native wave]

right...just fyi

[keen sorrel]

Good to know that though

[native wave]

when you search for it do you select the player servers checkbox near the join button?

[keen sorrel]

I did yes

[native wave]

and you search by name...hitting enter after entering it?

[keen sorrel]

Yes, and it turns up with no results.

[native wave]

do you have a map filter on? (that was a recent issue)

[keen sorrel]

I did for the Island, which was the map I had set, I'll take that off and try again

No sessions found.

And it's status is green and says "Ticking Loop"

[native wave]

not seeing it on battlemetrics

you've got a public ip for your internet connection?

[keen sorrel]

yes

As well as a domain that's properly forwarded

So I'm really confused

Even my router DMZ and the Firewall off for a sec didn't work

[native wave]

gotta be something with the forwarding or a firewall getting in the way

[keen sorrel]

The Windows firewall is off

It's in a VM, but there's nothing in the way port-wise

[native wave]

does the vm software have a firewall built in?

[keen sorrel]

Yes, but that's off as well

Proxmox - Windows VM

[native wave]

I used proxmox as well, though I run a linux vm and host it with petrodactyl

they run their eggs using proton

[keen sorrel]

I've been tempted to get Pterodactyl running

ooh, that's pretty handy

[native wave]

oh....certificate....let me find the link

[celest halo]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_server_setup#Operating_system

[keen sorrel]

I followed that exact guide

It's a Windows 10 VM though, would that cert thing be required?

[native wave]

don't think so

[celest halo]

it would be if it didnt get installed with windows for some reason

[keen sorrel]

Installing the r2m02.crl and trying again.

Nothing still.

Really weird. o.O

It works if I run it locally though

[keen sorrel]

Hmm, it was something with the VM, I tried another one and it's working now. Thank you for the suggestions regardless! It's definitely appreciated.

[devout rampart]

Hi guys, i'm the only one that from last 2 patches has maps that goes in HUGE power save, even with players on? The island gone from 15gb to 300mb of active memory, moving 14gb to standby mem. I have daily reboot, on reboot things return normal for a couple of hours, the issue begin.

[stuck orchid]

As far as im aware yes im just an admin on the server but trying to help the owner figure out why we cant transfer or even see the other server

[hexed sapphire]

Hi there! I'm playing on singleplayer The Island and I am setting up the map to only have specific dinos in some regions. After removing Rexes, Carnos, and Scorpions using NPCReplacements, I'm currently trying to spawn Direwolves in Death Island by adding this line in my Game.ini file:

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesMonsterIsland_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="DirewolfDeathIsland",EntryWeight=0.15,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Direwolf_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Direwolf_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.5)))

I made sure that everything is in one line and there are no typos. After wiping out all the wild dinos and waiting for a while, it doesn't seem to be spawning the Direwolves. Does anyone know if I'm missing anything?

[rapid jasper]

hey, i want my server to be night time always. does anyone know how i can do that?

[distant hearth]

it would be done by adjusting the day an night time speed scales in the game user setting.ini
DayTimeSpeedScale=
NightTimeSpeedScale=
You wud need to increase the night length and lower the day length , something like this probably

DayTimeSpeedScale=999
NightTimeSpeedScale=0.2```

[rapid jasper]

Great! Thanks

[ashen mango]

So I have my own dedicated server and for some reason when I transfer my survivor to a different server then come back with the same survivor I lose my tribe and all my dinos, structures etc. Anyone know why or what I can do to not have this happen?

[wise kindle]

Did you create a tribe and name it? If not, its a common bug.

[ashen mango]

I'm confused I mean I created a tribe when I started the server

I really wanna figure out the problem though, kinda makes me not wanna play the game

It's basically if I switch to scorch after being on the island if I come back to the island with the same character that was originally on it it acts as if my character isn't in the original tribe

[distant hearth]

nitrado or self host ?

[ashen mango]

Self host

I weirdly had the same problem doing Singleplayer in ASE

I transferred a character from the island to another map and when I came back with the same character nothing was mine

It's annoying watching people easily transfer characters when I've never been able to do it myself

[distant hearth]

you can try this on both maps, backup the save data , then add this to command line ,, run server with -converttostore and -usestore and then on your next restart you can run with just -usestore

[ashen mango]

It's happened on both

It's uploading to a obelisk with my character

It's ASA I just had it happen on

I tried the whole force tribe commands as well which did nothing

The second

So how do people do that then? I've seen people do this then go back with ease. Is there another way other than the cluster

It's the force tribe command line it's a whole like list thing lol

Oh well yeah I'm just saying it's a long command I can't remember off the top of my head my b

But yeah it would almost make the dinos in my tribe and they'd show up blue as if it was an alliance but I still couldn't do anything with them

Yeah I used that and It didn't work

As well with those, didn't work

I entered them all correctly did both white being in and out of a tribe

Weird yeah I honestly have no clue, super annoying though

[solemn zephyr]

Do the command

Scp 1

Youll notice a tribe ID when looking at one of the structures or dinos

Then do

Cheat taketribe TribeIdNumber

When looking directly at one of its structures or dinos

[agile summit]

Whats the code for orp for pve servers?

[distant hearth]

pretty sure its this in gameusersetting.ini
PreventOfflinePvP=True

[agile summit]

Thank you very much

[opal sky]

is linux server made yet

[wraith sun]

No but it runs fine with Proton. I use Proton-GE never any issue.

[clever trail]

Hi hi
Anyone from South Africa also not able to find their servers?

[true drift]

Can I add Dino’s that are not in the island like wyverns onto my nitrado the island map? If you can, how

[stable bobcat]

Guys, is there a way to match serverplayer or tribe files to their players/tribes? We want to get a fresh map install and bring over our active player base and their things with it. Is this possible? Thanks 🙂

[lunar cloud]

you can do a fresh map install, but you still need to restore the save .ark file which has the map data in it. restoring player\tribe files wont be enough

[eager laurel]

Does anyone know how to make ur server for like instant tame if u put one kibble in them after u make them unconscious

[covert flare]

before i add mods to my server how do i know if they are console compatible for my boys on console?

[olive talon]

The mod will say "cross-platform" in the Curseforge page.

[olive talon]

TamingSpeedMultiplier=30

[eager laurel]

Anything else I need to adjust to make it instant tame

[foggy plinth]

Is there any way to make Element and Tributes Transferable?

[olive talon]

Changing the crafting cost of items or using mods.

[foggy plinth]

is there anything on the Ark Wiki?

[olive talon]

For which?

[foggy plinth]

The Crafting cost of items

like is there anything on ark wiki on how it works?

[olive talon]

It's just changing the crafting cost of like soap, for example, to be made with element. You can transfer soap, and then break it down to get element back.

[foggy plinth]

via the grinder?

[winter kindle]

hey anyone know how to give commands to someone on a non-dedicated session without admin password?

[bleak ivy]

if you didn't set one then you just type enablecheats.

[winter kindle]

no i have one but I dont want to give my friend the password. I trust him with commands just not enough to give him the password

[bleak ivy]

fairly sure they need to password. also why? the password is just locking commands.

[winter kindle]

dang, I want him to be able to use commands but knowing him that password will be sent around quite alot

[bleak ivy]

Lol, just change it whenever you restart the game

[nova pumice]

So I have a server well two on asa one map is the island the other I’m trying to set as a custom map set it up as nitrado has it listed even have it clustered just now showing in the list of server at all am I doing something wrong?

[wise kindle]

Which custom map?

[nova pumice]

Froglar

[wise kindle]

Name: Custom

Be sure the map mod is the first in the mod order or it wont work

[tough sequoia]

hello pls help
how can i start mission on gen2 on local server?

[grave shale]

hey all, pretty sure my server is resetting dino spawns with every restart but i want to prevent that, what parameters should i use?

[jaunty vortex]

do you have destroywilddinos in your startup?

[fair matrix]

how do you make fuel last longer ? i have FuelConsumptionInterval=50 and Fuelconsumptionmultiplier=50 in gameusersettings and its not taking effect

[echo pecan]

in Game.ini

FuelConsumptionIntervalMultiplier=50

[distant hearth]

just be aware a low fuel consumption has a unwanted side effect, it takes forever for wood to burn, thus charcoal production is difficult

[compact goblet]

my server cluster was working fine until this morning. hosting private servers from my own device. scorched map is fine, but both Island servers are not showing up, and im unable to use command "cheat doexit" on them. any Idea whats the problem?

it shows they have booted up fully

[lunar cloud]

i'd check shootergame logs for it to see how far it gets in the boot process. And also check the task manager to make sure the process is actually still running. Then i would check if the port is listening and in open state.

[compact goblet]

it gets the full boot. its running in task manager I tried switching my ports to the scorched earth ports that is confirmed working. still no luck. seems to be the island map regardless of what server is loaded

[lunar cloud]

you running mods ? it sounds like a mod issue

[compact goblet]

i have ark additions and the diana aussie addtion mods on

and dear jane

[lunar cloud]

i'd take a backup of everything, then remove the mods and try start and see if it start without the mods turned on. If it does, then you know its the mods causing an issue

[eager laurel]

Does anyone still uses beacon or nitrado that gas there server to instant tame I'm am struggling so much my dino are taming at all once there unconscious I need help

Please and thank y

[round ginkgo]

Question if u make a sever that has a premium mod does everyone who played the sever also have to buy the mod?

[tiny aspen]

Hey all, has anyone ever gotten the ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer config to work in the Game.ini? I've tried adding Oviraptors & Beavers to the config but they never seem to appear

[tiny aspen]

On ASA I might add* 😅

[urban pelican]

anyone else having a problems with nothing but low lvl dinos on nitrado server ASA The island? i have OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5 and Max diff set to false

[lunar cloud]

you need OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5.0 and DifficultyOffset=1.0 in GameUserSettings.ini and that should be it. Not sure how to set these on Nitardo as I self host

[haughty cairn]

Yes

[peak sapphire]

I haven’t had any luck either from trying to add Rhynio’s to the swamp on ASA

[tiny aspen]

Yeah it's an ongoing issue with config values being changed

Apparently, using the "Beaver_Character_BP_C" in e.g. ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer or even in just a cheat summon doesn't work on SE as well

the beavers don't spawn using those ID's, only with the full blueprint path

Wiping wyvern eggs from nests using the command destroyall "droppeditemgeneric_fertilizedegg_nophysicswyvern_c" 0 is also broken in ASA....

[bleak horizon]

anyone having current issues transferring between base maps to password protected modded maps?

[eager laurel]

Anyone know why my taming isn't working

[stuck radish]

Hellooo!! To whomever has a solition, is there a way to increase crop plot limits? I want to make berries and veggies stack to atleast thousands, and im wondering if there is an ini config i can modify or a mod i can download for it?

How so?

[lone dust]

i have been away for a while but i do want to know does the game without a mod still block like dlc dinos such as reapers rock drakes ect until the dlc is released or has ne on found a workaround

ty in advance

[lucid solstice]

That is a comment from like 11 days ago. I don't remember the conversation lol

[lone dust]

there is a mod cannot make changes to the base game unless its a mod also turn your crop speed growth multiplier up to 300

[stuck radish]

300? The max value is 6 though

[eager laurel]

Can anyone help figure out why the wild dinos when unconscious won't tame when u give them kibble or any kinda food

Please and thank u

[lone dust]

your wild food is too high creature food drain multiplier needs to always be 1

[eager laurel]

This is what my stats are

[olive talon]

You can't change the crop plots themselves, but simply changing the stack sizes for the berries and veggies will allow them to stack to thousands.

[lone dust]

i have been away for a while but i do want to know does the game without a mod still block like dlc dinos such as reapers rock drakes ect until the dlc is released or has ne on found a workaround

[olive talon]

Have to use mods for ASA as dlcs haven't released yet.

[lone dust]

ty

[eager laurel]

Wild starvation is 0.1 and torpor is a 1

[lone dust]

make it 1 no 0.1 o.1 for wild dinos means the will neve eat

[stuck radish]

Hii! I have ultra stacks on for ark evolved, it still caps at 300 berries and 150 veggies for crop plots ^^

@olive talon

[olive talon]

So change it in the config, ultra stacks has options to do so.

[stuck radish]

Berries and veggies themselves do stack to 10k, the ones that grow in crop plots however, do not. Do you have any clue to why that is and how i can change that in the config?

[olive talon]

Have modded crop plots I would assume, you cannot change the crop plot inventory spaces

[eager laurel]

Ok I'll try it but do u know how to turn it into like a modded server to where dino are instant tammed when u give them 1 kibble or anything I have mine set at 10000 and nothing

[lone dust]

yes

[eager laurel]

Or even you @olive talon

[lone dust]

is this a single player server

[eager laurel]

No multi

[lone dust]

i can def write you a code

np i can give you what you need for ini

[olive talon]

TamingSpeedMultiplier=30
is typically instant, just have to wait for them to eat. I don't usually mess with food drain.

[eager laurel]

Ok can you dm me

[lone dust]

ya

[lone dust]

i dmd you

[wise kindle]

Note that the dino has to be hungry to eat. If its not hungry it wont instantly eat the kibble. You still have to let the dino food drain after knock out. Not every dino knocks out with low food.

[humble thicket]

Hi someone know how can i ban raft on nitrado ?

Disable/remove the engram entry or make it impossible to craft by changing the crafting

Does anyone have a lead on why these config options/commands don't seem to work? We'd love to have this functionality back in ASA

[eager laurel]

@olive talon I dm u

[olive talon]

I've already mentioned all I know in the reply above.

[raw flame]

My friend who plays ark evlovled on epic games and me who plays on steam, we can't make a non-dedicated server and play together, can anyone help us on figuruing out on how to play together

[bleak horizon]

anyone having issues transferring onto password protected maps? it wont show on obelisks and i cant slect password protected? (ASA)

[bleak ivy]

ASE crossplay between epic and steam barely works for non-dedi. there is a guide in the pins tho

[scarlet anvil]

Anybody have the official dino stats per level up? I think it's health at .2 and melee at .16 but when I googled it I came across all sorts of other multipliers I'm not familiar with (affinity .17, stat gained .16) and the like for each stat

[lone dust]

for evovled or assended

@scarlet anvil

[scarlet anvil]

Ascended

[lone dust]

i dmd you the default

[distant hearth]

just leave them alone and they will be default settings listed here

[open heart]

Im at a complete loss here. I have 3 mods on two dedicated servers that have been working fine for months. After an update a couple weeks ago they are failing to install or update. They work fine on solo games and only seem to have issues running on my servers. I can see in the logs where it attempts to install/update the mods but it never actually downloads anything. Anyone have any ideas?

[lone dust]

what are the mods

[distant hearth]

is that where the server hangs or do you get after that ,
cfcore:modvalid

if its hanging there try deleting the mod folder eniterely , this will force it to redownload

[open heart]

Yes it hangs after that. I have not only deleted the mods folders and let it reinstall everything. I have gone as far as backing up my servers and deleting everything and forcing a clean install of the entire server only to get the same results.

[distant hearth]

hmm, so.. did you try running the servers clean, no save data no mods added, just a fresh install?

[open heart]

Runs fine with no mods. Runs without those three mods with rest of mods installed. I add those back in and it fails again. I know a lot of servers run with the custom dino levels mod which is why Im confused why it fails for me now.

[lone dust]

if you are running nitrado what you have to do is a sever back up because there is a corrupt save on one of the mods

[lone dust]

i have ran into this prob before so you will have to roll back to whenever they were working then load that server backup and you should be good if you are running thru nitrado

[distant hearth]

will it run without the save data, but with those 3 mods installed? i just installed them on my island test server and it booted no probs

[open heart]

Not running on nitrado its on a privately owned server. And as I mentioned I did a full fresh reinstall of the servers only to end up back where I started.

[lone dust]

you need to do a back up of when they were runnin on the privious version then

after that restart let them up date you have a corrupt save on the mod data itself its like a virus

[open heart]

I did a full fresh install of the servers yesterday and attempted to run just those three mods prior to pushing my ark save files back into the mix. Basicly a new server with no saves and Im still failing on those three mods. Thats why Im so confused on what is happening. There is nothing left for it to fall back on because I deleted everything and started new.

[lone dust]

once you run on the privious version and then reboot to up date it will overwrite the data point after a server backup like a roll back

[lone dust]

the reinstall does not erase the corrupt save point it stays in the underlying file

then you have to run the server without the mods

then you have to get a save pint then reinstall after that i wasnt aware you did not have backups sry

[open heart]

Im failing to understand what underlying file you are refering to. I deleted the entire server folder and forced a fresh install of ark and the mods

[lone dust]

so run the server no mods for like an hour i guess 30 min then shut it down try insatlling mods again then relaunch the server

[open heart]

I did backup my ark save files and player/tribe files... Im just trying to get it running before I push them back in

[lone dust]

you need to have a save point without the mods present or a previous version

thats is what has worked for me in the past

[open heart]

ok Ill try bringing them online without anything loaded in and let it run for a half hour or so

[lone dust]

it might not work in your situation

ya then just take them down insatll the mods then run the server

with them then if you want to bring in the existing dats you can try but it might be corrupted

[open heart]

also is there any way to bring them down gracefully rather than just closing out the unreal engine app?

[lone dust]

i hope that makes better sense of what i was saying i might have worded it incorrectly

[lone dust]

i would just hard set them killing any trace of the corruption

that's is for ne one that need it btw from earlier

[distant hearth]

1- you failed to mention was running other mods
2-did you try adding one at a time to see if its just one or is it all 3 crash server
3-somemods just dont play nice together /cause issues

[lone dust]

^^^ this

[distant hearth]

in game login to admin then do
cheat doexit

[lone dust]

ok im off i hope you all have luck i hope i helped tonight later

[open heart]

All the mods that I have were playing nice together up till 2 weeks ago... Same mods have been on the server for months.

[distant hearth]

yea, mods be mods, the game gets updates, the mods get updates then something decides to break an you get a headache

[open heart]

Yeah thats no joke there... Not the first time an update has caused headaches... This is the first time Ive run into an issue that I couldn't solve in 10 minutes or so.

[distant hearth]

yea its a bit of an oddball one it seems, i usually get em fixed 10-30mins, just process elimination method .
remove mods- if boot fine , add back 1 at time
if mods wernt issue remove save file ... etc etc , ya know the usual drill

[wise kindle]

Side question: do the mods work together on single player? Usually that gives you a clue about whats at fault.

[distant hearth]

good point

[wise kindle]

Can remove the server from the equation and figure it out.

[open heart]

Yes they do

And I also know those mods are running fine on other servers

[wise kindle]

Ok silly question but this was tested recently? Since the failure?

[open heart]

yesterday yes

[wise kindle]

Ah ok. You arent on a modded map are you?

[open heart]

no just running The Iland and Scorched Earth

and they are clustered

[distant hearth]

post a list of all the mod ids, will try adding them to one mine an see what happens

[open heart]

-mods=930494,941145,930491,929420,930381,927131,942024,947733,914844,900062,926259,935399,933099,912902,942989,945011,928708,929578

[distant hearth]

kk gimme 5 mins

sry took a bit to download , but they all come down an server booted on my s.e test one.

[open heart]

ok even more confusion to the mystery then lol

[distant hearth]

you have plenty free disk space i assume

[open heart]

I just got done fresh installing both servers... they are currently running with no mods or saves atm

I have about 60GB atm though more could be assigned... They are running on a virtual server thats running on much larger server hardware

[distant hearth]

try just the mods first then, since that is working for me and theres barely any save data on my servers

hmm mine is running on a win 10 home machine ... shudnt make a differnce but ark likes be weird

[open heart]

Im going to let these both run for a bit... I have to go pick up some dog food... will try adding mods back in after I get back... Thanks for your help

[distant hearth]

fingers crossed you get it fixed, im thinking one of the mods has something loaded into the world corrupted so that it crashes when the save data is trying to load prehaps

[foggy plinth]

So when The Center drops I want to make a server for that too, but now that TI and SE took the Ports 7777 and 7778 what do I take for the third server?

[distant hearth]

anything u want that isnt already used but logically , 7779 makes sense

[foggy plinth]

Does this work? How was it in ASE?

[open heart]

I incriment my ports up by 10 for each server but anything works as long as they are different ports

[distant hearth]

no idea about ase as it was recomended to have a peer port, aswell as needing the query ports , but works fine on asa

[foggy plinth]

ah okey good to hear so 7779 and 7780 works both?

[distant hearth]

they both worked when i was testing yes

i tried a whole bunch an had no issues

[foggy plinth]

Alright, thank you!

[open heart]

yes... Currently I have Isle running on 7777 and 27015 and SE running 7787 and 27025

[distant hearth]

asa dont need the query port, as it runs on epic online system, eos
only need the one udp port

query port was used for steam server listings in ase as it ran on steam

[open heart]

Ahh good to know... I just added them both in to be safe

[foggy plinth]

oh okey i use 27015 for both servers and it works

[foggy plinth]

ah okay makes sensee

[distant hearth]

yea alot people have a load the old unused commands in there batch files. i like them clean ,
Start C:\arkserver1\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?SessionName="willzlaptop" -port=7777 -winlivemaxplayers=10 -nobattleye

simple example

[foggy plinth]

My batch file is fully loaded because it's not only for starting and updating the server, but I do Back-Ups with it too and 10 at a time get saved and if there is more than 10 the oldest gets deleted

[foggy plinth]

Should i turn off Battleeye?

I have it on, but I don't think I need it because i only play with my friends

[distant hearth]

dont need too, i just dont like it so turn off, i have no need for it on a pve cluster

if it aint causing issues prob best just leave it alone tbh

[foggy plinth]

alright

[open heart]

Alright W1lz I just tried launching one of the servers with just one of the mods thats been failing and it didnt install it

so confusing lol

[distant hearth]

thats weird, it wud point to it have an issues writing to disk , like its not got admin priveleges or something, i suspect coz of the vm setup prehaps

[open heart]

I launch as admin

[distant hearth]

yea figured u wud be since other mods d/l an write

[open heart]

Like I said before what really adds to the mystery is that other mods do load

[distant hearth]

its a weird one ,all 3 those mods wont install?

[open heart]

do the mods save a temp file anywhere outside of the server folders?

[distant hearth]

not that i know of , they have a temp download in steamapps foilder of the server folder that they use i think

i presume on reinstall ure just deleting the entire srver folder

[open heart]

yeah thats the easiest way to ensure everything is gone

[distant hearth]

server gotta be on latest version since ure reinstalling, so it makes zero sense why those wont install,
have you tried them one at a time ?

[open heart]

Thats actually what I just did this time... just a single mod. One of the ones that failed

[distant hearth]

and all 3 cause it to fail ? if you try them seperate ?

[open heart]

yep same result with all 3

It puts in a request to download but skips over the download and cleans up the folder

[distant hearth]

yea after mine does the cleanup part, it then comes up with ,

[open heart]

I just tried loading one of the other working mods by itself and it failed... now here is something interesting. Ive always used -mods=ModID I had to do -mods="ModID" using the " around the wrapper to get that one to install.

unfortunatly that still doesnt work for the 3 that arent loading

[distant hearth]

ive always been fine using -mods=<modid>,<modid>,<modid>

im at a loss, sorry , no reason for it just to not load those 3 particular mods :/

[open heart]

Thanks for all the ideas you have had.... just no ryme or reason to what its doing

[distant hearth]

if i can think of anything will tag you, but honestly i just dont know ... at your point id be considering a fresh o/s(vm)install but cant really see that helping either.

[open heart]

just make matters even more strange... its still 3 mods failing but one of them is a different mod now

[distant hearth]

one final idea, try making a new simplified batch file for your island server , (run it from same install location as the server.exe or add your exe path )just to rule it out the format your using currently as an issue,they can be fussy on there start commands
Start ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?SessionName="<eneteranamehere>" -port=<eneteryourportnumberhere> -mods=930494,941145,930491,929420,930381,927131,942024,947733,914844,900062,926259,935399,933099,912902,942989,945011,928708,929578

[open heart]

unfortunatly no go with that as well. same effect

[distant hearth]

ughh lol, well its something else ruled out haha

it changing to a differnt mod causing issues now , possible the disk drive is on its way out ? just throwing random idea

[open heart]

so right now its Satiator, custom dino levels, and greenhouse glass fix not loading...

Cant rule that out though its on a friends server cluster and Im pretty sure he would be getting warnings on his raid array having issues

[distant hearth]

yea i dunno anythint about server units or how they work, was just a random idea since it had changed behaviour

[open heart]

Im lucky in the fact I get to run the servers on some fairly high end hardware.... this issue btw is stumping someone that has 20 years IT experence lol... Ive been in the industry for quite a long time

[distant hearth]

i only know about ark servers an basic computer stuff tbh , i tend to go with the trial an eror method but you have exhausted most that option

[open heart]

no worries... was looking for a second pair of eyes just incase I completely overlooked somehting or hadnt tried something yet

[distant hearth]

covered all the obvious and basics far as i can tell, if you ever do figure it out , tag me, i get annoyed at unresolved issues haha , will try to keep thinking of things.

[open heart]

will do

so I put all the mods back in play on both servers... I have the two common ones that fail satiator, and custom dino levels, then on one server the greenhouse glass fix fails, and the other server the baby dino treats fails lol... this randomness is going to drive me up the wall... I have to be overlooking something so simple

[open heart]

ok.... here is a weird one for the books... I just added the dear jane mod to the servers first run they failed... second run everything installed and they both booted up... I have no explination how that even did anything....

[distant hearth]

ermm no damm clue...cross fingers they stay working i guess lolz

[open heart]

Im at a complete loss... I have no clue how that even did anything other than install another mod

Everything is loading up now with all the mods, my saved game files and saved ini files and it appears to be launching

[violet latch]

does anyone know if i can remove the Deinosuchus and Ceratosaurus mods from my server since those have been added to the base game? im worried about losing all those tames

[open heart]

I tried that after they said they were added to the main game and it caused issues so I left the mods loaded

[violet latch]

ty for that. ill keep them on then 🙂

[wise kindle]

The process to make the modded dinos permanent is in the works by Garuga but wont be ready for a while yet. Long story short no, its not safe to remove yet. Will likely be a couple more weeks before we can safely remove it. Join his discord to watch for updates.

[violet latch]

hmm, i thought i saw in the last update patch notes that both have been added in the last update. either way it seems it caused all my big crocs to disappear...

going to try a roll back to before the last update

spent months breeding them with the stats i wanted...

[wise kindle]

They were. You were asking if you will lose your dinos. Yes, any dinos you had from the mod will go poof. Atm they are a different creature.

Unless you are blocking modded dinos on your maps, you have both in game and modded versions spawning. Also double saddle engrams etc.

Gotta wait for the modder to announce the conversion of modded to in game dinos before removing the mod.

[keen sorrel]

How do I remove certain dinos from the spawn table?

Spefically Troodon, Pegomastax, Icthyornis

I'm also having trouble enabling run speed for leveling up.

[latent yarrow]

Hopefully someone here can answer this. I had a server for Asa and it ran fine since launch. Non nitrado hosted on a dedicated seperate machine. When I set it up initially I was able to build a platform of foundation/ceilings and place a teleporter up on top of the volcano for quick metal runs for the server. Fast forward to now and we had to restart the server from scratch due to some corrupted save files. I set it up identical to what it used to be, to my knowledge and now for some reason I can’t place foundations aoe anything on top of the volcano rim.

Oh and I have the line enableextrastructurepreventionvolumes=false in the gus ini

I can place structures in any other resource heavy area, just not the top of the volcano

Any help is greatly appreciated.

[robust nymph]

They've been added to base games but ones spawned or tamed from the mod will be removed if the mod is as their Blueprint path is different.
We've given players a week to make a ticket on our server to have replacement ceras with the non mod spawn code. We're removing the mod tonight.

[versed basin]

Hello everyone~
Would anyone know of a good tutorial on how I can run both The Island and Scorched Earth so my friends and I can venture back and forth on my server?
Thank you in advance for any help!

I'm running it through Steam's dedicated server setup currently.
Editing to add this is for ASA.
Edit again: I guess I'm trying to run a "cluster".

[covert crane]

they ever release update to fix Nitrado dedicated servers?

[violet latch]

well that sucks lol

[urban pelican]

anyone know where i can find an updated/current The Island Creature Spawns list for Beacon?
we are trying to use this to change the Min. dino lvl (not the cave dinos thoe) and i noticed in beacon it doesnt have newer dinos like the Gigantoraptor and so on, in the defaut list, but i did notice that beacon has the info needed to add the newer dinos,
we also like to make sure that the spawns are correct and not from ASE

[small elk]

I have services running through docker on my machine that are accessible so the port forwarding shouldn't be an issue.
Worth to note that i am running an Apache instance on my host machine which might be interfering with the traffic but i don't know how to check that.

[copper belfry]

can someone vc with me and guide me cuz i dont know anything

[summer saddle]

Those that started Scorched Earth with Mods - did most of them that aren't island-specific work on day 1 - or was there a window in which updates needed to happen. My server is wanting to add some mods for the center.

[nova pumice]

Is there a cap on asa on how many Dino’s that can be spawned at a time ?

[gray rapids]

For some anouncemts ago it was text saying it will be posible to have premium-mods for server. Like if server owner buy a mod all who joins dont need to purchas that mod and can play on that server. Is it a thing yet? any moded maps out there that have this function?

[wise kindle]

This is not enabled yet. Keep watching announcements for the change.

[gilded hazel]

Hi, I am new to Ark SA. We've setup a server and someone said we need to have a wallet account to get the server to show up in the server browser, Is there another way to make it show up other than having to open up a wallet account?

[olive talon]

If its not a nitrado server, just have users select "show player servers" when searching for your server.

[gilded hazel]

Its a dedicated server we've setup at home. Not on player pc.

[olive talon]

Point still stands

[jaunty vortex]

Player server as in run by a player and not by Nitrado.

[gilded hazel]

Does it matter which option I choose when launching the game? I have Paly Ark SA and Play Ark No BattlEye AntiCheat, Unoffical Servers only.

We arent running a Nitrado. We have it running on a dedicated server here at home on Linux and using AMP.

[olive talon]

No it won't matter

[gilded hazel]

Its called Survivors Den, I cant find it.

[gilded hazel]

Still doesnt show even though I have ticked the box called Show Player Servers.

Ok, thanks, think I got it

its showing now

[gritty moat]

Best way to kill the alpha dragon invisible?

Theris or rexes, veggie cakes, a yuti with a rider that knows yutis arent there to do damage, etc.

....Help...

[peak orbit]

non

[marble compass]

Pls help w tether

i dont want tether can i maky my friends pc host

[meager pewter]

Unfortunately that's the downside of multiplayer, if you don't want to tether you're going to have to either rent a server, or use a separate account to host a server that way.

[native wave]

You don't have to have a separate account to host a server...that's just false

[meager pewter]

I've never done it so I was unsure

[native wave]

dedicated server files can be downloaded anonymously from the public branch. Nitrado certainly tried to make it 1 server per account but they got a lot of backlash (including myself) when they tried that...and backtracked quickly.

you can run as many servers as your hardware (rented or not) can handle

[wise kindle]

This is usually a full game reinstall to fix. You can try transferring or killing your character first, but usually a reinstall is needed.

[weary crag]

i'm setting up a dedicated server through nitrado and i need .arkprofile and .arktribe files from my local files to transfer character data, but i can't find those files on SavedArksLocal it just doesn't show up

can anyone tell me the reason for that?

[wise kindle]

Pretty sure he is talking about an ASE console non dedi, tho I think the player here is on Steam. But an actual server is always the better choice obviously.

[native wave]

should be saved in ShooterGame\Saved\LocalProfiles

don't have the arktribe files on mine, but that's where my arkprofile file is for my local save

[weary crag]

LocalProfiles doesn't show up

does it have to do with xbox?

[native wave]

are you playing on the windows version or the xbox version?

[weary crag]

xbox

[native wave]

don't think you have proper file access to get those files on xbox

[wise kindle]

Check under Shootergame\saved\savedarks\ [mapname]

Example: Shootergame\saved\savedarks\Svartalheim

[weary crag]

i only have the mapsave TheIsland_WP.ark

[wise kindle]

So check under Shootergame\saved\savedarks\Island

there should be like 10+ of each file there to choose from

[weary crag]

yeah but theres no arkprofile or arktribe in those files

[wise kindle]

you have no other files under Shootergame\saved\savedarks ?

[weary crag]

no

[wise kindle]

no other folder?

[weary crag]

just the map save thats it

[wise kindle]

Cuz if not thats corrupt.

Id put in a ticket.

[weary crag]

but when i start a non-dedicated game it goes on without any problems i got all the character saves

i just cant find the file location of the characters

[wise kindle]

non dedicated? Thought this was nitrado?

Are you running Nitrado hosted or a self hosted non dedi?

[weary crag]

i've been playing with 2 of my friends i'm trying to transfer all saves from non-dedicated to nitrado

i have the mapfile and gameusersettings and game settings

just no character saves

[wise kindle]

ok yeah then thats where they should be, if they arent there, I have no idea tbh. We just always started fresh on hosted servers.

[weary crag]

ok i see thank you

[robust nymph]

Have other unofficial server owners been having crazy ping issues?
Ours is going from 200 to over over 700 randomly. Pretty much unplayable. Island mainly.

[wise kindle]

Yeah, I cant find a correlation. Completely random it seems. Can happen when 30 ppl are on a map or 2. Makes no sense.

[robust nymph]

We thought it was jumping spider mod, which has now been reverted, so hopefully it works.

[wise kindle]

We dont have that mod but other owners are seeing these spikes. Started when SE came out. We all have different mods so I’m not sure its mod related.

[arctic basin]

Hello, are any of you on clustered ASA Linux servers please?

[native wave]

bad time to ask as I'm headed to bed, but I run Island, Scorched, and Svart on pterodactyl, clustered using their mount system to share a directory between docker containers

it uses a proton egg to run the servers...so still the Windows binary

[arctic basin]

So you can give some good advice! I am also on Linux with Proton GE and wine, only I have problems with my cluster

can we send a private message please?

[jaunty vortex]

I have no character saved or tribe info either. But I’m using the alternate save method where the character files only get created in the cluster folder when transferring. Otherwise everything is in my world save.

[hasty tiger]

Hi everyone

Hope everyone is fine

And that someone can help me hehe

[frigid vine]

Hey Server Owners,
do you guys have also so many complains about "losing items/dinos" every day in your community?

I'm a bit lost, tbh. I do this now since ASE and never had this issues before. Yes and i know the 50/50 bug, but its not always related.
Player says 2-3 per week "hey my dino is disappeared or my vault is empty, yesterday was all there".

How do you handle this feedback? We say generally we cannot give support this, because its a bug from wildcard, not us.
And yes, we use already "UseItemDupeCheck" but this doesn't help at all.

[jaunty vortex]

Yeah, I get complaints. So far it’s been managed (where possible) by restoring from a backup. But it depends on server activity. It’s hard to justify restoring a backup for one dino when several people have been on doing stuff.

[frigid vine]

Yeah exactly. We did this also in the past a lot of time. Like you said: we spend hours into this recovering process, because of we verify everything before handover it to the players.

But its "good" to hear, thats not only we have that problems. Personally for me its frustation. I setup the servers so well, we use modern hardware to host it ( i do this now since 5 years ) and never had so much problems with "magic disappearing items" like in ASA.

I mean, i can understand the players too, but i can't do anyhting in this case, thats what's hurt me.

[jaunty vortex]

Gut feel says it’s corruption in whatever database mechanism is being used to store items and their locations. Either changes are not being committed or perhaps not even applied. Maybe also a communication issue between client and server?

[arctic basin]

Hello, are any of you on clustered ASA Linux servers please?

[frigid vine]

I think so too. But its strange, why in our case mostly two tribes specially affected.
One of them built on water with ceilings and pillar support. I asked them please move your base to ground. We will see what happen then.

The other tribe which complains mostly daily built also on water, but only this one player of the tribe has daily issues with losing dinos into 50/50 (and they are NOT cloned). Thats so weird.
He deleted now this dinos completely and his character too. I don't think it will help, but will see and report.

For the rest of the players in the cluster (around 50) there are only really rare complains. Still annoying, but they are cool with it because of an early-access game and they don't have often Problems.
Personally i had maybe in this 7-8 months of ASA idk 2-3 dinos on 50/50 and my player was also cloned to there, but nothing like losing things every day. Its so weird.

[jaunty vortex]

I suspect it happens more often. If you have 50 dinos in pods, unless it’s a favourite, will you notice if one is missing? How about 20 stacks of sparkpowder? Probably not if one stack goes missing.

[frigid vine]

Exactly, yeah. I really hope wildcard can ivestigate time into this issue.. i would also offer me as beta-tester, just to get a smoother gameplay/epxerience for the players.

[onyx snow]

everytime i try to join my server get reliable buffer issue in fresh wiped server. any fix?

[wraith sun]

You have a lot of engram overrides in your ini?

[wraith sun]

Lots of us. Better to describe the problem.

[arctic basin]

I seem to have correctly configured my cluster and in game I can only download a survivor. I mounted a share folder in nfs on my nas and mounted on my lxc container

I'm checking my entire commandline for the moment, some corrections in fact I'll let you know again after relaunching with the new one

[wraith sun]

There's separate config options to allow item and dino transfers, have you set those?
Also make sure the server has write access to the folder.

[arctic basin]

yes all the preventions are lifted, then my user who launches the linux server knows how to create a file, modify it and delete it in the shared directory of the nas.

[wraith sun]

And you have the directory set with ClusterDirOverride in the command line options?

Make sure also that clusterId is set. This can be anything but needs to be the same on all servers, make it something unique to your cluster to avoid other servers showing in transfer server select.

[arctic basin]

yes I have both, I really don't understand

Since you are inside an lxc container be sure that you are using the path that is actually mounted in the container. Like it wont be same directory as where it is mounted on the host system.

[arctic basin]

Z:\\home\\ark-server\\ark-survival-ascended\\ShooterGame\\Binaries\\Win64\\ArkAscendedServer.exe" "TheIsland_WP?SessionName=YOURSERVERNAMEHERE?ServerAdmin
& more later
-ClusterDirOverride=/home/ark-server/ark-survival-ascended/cluster -clusterid=myclusterid

I have a bad translation of your previous message which seems interesting to me ^^

[wraith sun]

And from inside the container are you able to access that directory and see the files that are on the nfs?

[arctic basin]

yep wait

[wraith sun]

Yes the path to access inside the container can be different than it is on the host.

what do you mean by host? the proxmox?

[wraith sun]

Okay and for sure that is writing to the nas right, and not just a local folder? Be sure you can see it on the network because it isn't always obvious.

[arctic basin]

this test file is in the nas 😉

[wraith sun]

Good.

[arctic basin]

that's weird

[wraith sun]

Hmm. Yes well that is most of the common issues.

You have permission to create folder also?

[arctic basin]

in fact the game does not create the usual clusters folder

and ingame I only have one and only button, download a survivor, which recreates a new character for me on the same server lol

wait i test folders

Hmm yea that is strange, but if it is writing to the nas I think it is fine.

double check this line in gameusersetting.ini , it often gets forgotten bout, needs to be false

i have 3 like this, the same, 2 are proton , 1 are wine, with ps x|grep ArkAscended

[wraith sun]

Try to put directory in double quotes. I doubt it will make a difference but often we need that so I always do it.

[distant hearth]

Im not familiar with linux or how that works, but you dont seem to be telling it what drive to look for the folder on , on windows we have to specify that so possibly an issue

[onyx snow]

in game ini i set resource override it have issue?

[wraith sun]

It's valid directory for linux.

[wraith sun]

If there are lots, maybe yes.

[arctic basin]

even in the interpretation of wine?

[wraith sun]

I mean, mine works fine.

I don't use any weird //c// stuff as wine drive specifier.

[arctic basin]

because in his command line he writes it to me in the same way as proton, therefore a linux path

[wraith sun]

Yup I use linux path too, not any wine specific stuff.

[jaunty vortex]

Yeah you mount drives under folders in Linux. You can do that in windows but it’s very unusual. Tends to break upgrades.

[arctic basin]

what do you say about the group nobody? NFS ?

drwxrwxrwx 4 nobody     nogroup    4.0K May 31 14:23 .

drwxrwxrwx 2 nobody     nogroup    4.0K May 31 14:23 testfolder

[onyx snow]

i mean am set resource harvest settings all resources it make that? or some engram point per lvl settings?

[arctic basin]

when the user ark-server creates something it is he who inherits it we would say

[wraith sun]

Hard to say. I only know it can happen with lots of engram overrides. Engram point changes are probably okay. The bug happens when server tries to send too much stuff to a client at once, and usually that something is in the ini.

[wraith sun]

I think owning group and user is fine, it only matters that the user running the server has read/write there.

[arctic basin]

it doesn't make sense 🥲

[wraith sun]

Yep I am out of things to suggest, sorry 😦

[arctic basin]

everything seems correct though, thank you anyway, in case you have an idea don't hesitate to pm 🙂

[onyx snow]

Almost i got the point of issue! Thank you squish! we faced issue from ini s+ pulling list after remove it now ok! i got right point for your hints ❤️

[versed basin]

I figured it out! 🥳
Now I just have to see about moving my previous map data, with my friends on it, to the cluster. 🫠
They will not like losing their progress lol

[jaunty vortex]

Copy the saved arks folder. You can take gameusersettings.ini and game.ini too if you want to keep the same settings. You might need to change the game and rcon ports.

[agile summit]

Can you disable chat filters?

Its a pain in the backside on my cluster

[spare raft]

Hello survivor. How did i get a Scorched's chibi ? I want give 1 for my serveur player ^^

[agile summit]

Find the spawn command on google

[fringe raft]

Quick queation, does ark have an api where i can have ingame chat connected to discord ?

[arctic basin]

hello I still have a cluster problem on Linux, everything seems correct and in game I only have DOWNLOAD SURVIVOR which recreates a character for me on the same server.

I don't have the transfer button displayed

[tardy pine]

Ark has an RCON feed, it has many many uses, but one of those is to read and send chat messages. Some plugins and bots have been made to help with this. The easiest free bot is called "CrossArkChat", but it does have some drawbacks, such as all messages from discord being sent to the server in big bold yellow text as (SERVER), not a big deal for a few people but it can be a pain on big servers. To solve for that you would need a paid plugin as far as I know

[fringe raft]

alr, thx

[sudden beacon]

is there anyone here that has experience with bisect hosting

i been trying to start my ark server but it keeps getting stuck on Waiting for RCON to come up

[clever tendon]

I have a quick question how can you reduce Lag with the Oasisaur?

[covert flare]

Should server transfers be available day one when the center drops?

[sudden beacon]

is that just it downloading mods

[celest halo]

Nope should be atlest 6 months after (this is unofficial servers you make available when you feel like it)

[solemn zephyr]

Do you have no tribute downloads turned on? It breaks characters.

[arctic basin]

set to False

[solemn zephyr]

Okay that rules that out

[native wave]

you get the download survivor button when you connect to the destination server or if you try to rejoin the source server after you have uploaded your character

the download survivor button is how you transfer to the new server. you hit that and if the server you are connected to can read the file in the cluster directory, it will create that character on that server. If if can't, it'll try to create a new character

[quartz swallow]

Does anyone know if any of these mods could cause issues for transferring on a unofficial server.

Current mod list:

1. Deinosuchus.
2. Brachiosaurus.

[wise kindle]

Ive not heard of any mods stopping or causing transfer issues.

What is the specific transfer issue you are having?

[distant hearth]

same, is a lot mods, but none have any effect on transfers that i know of

also can get rid love ascended now, its been in base game for months

[quartz swallow]

So it lets us transfer but as soo as you try to spawn in it gets stuck in downloading. And then doesn’t do anything and deletes character. (Island to scorched and vise versa)

[distant hearth]

self host or nitrado? has it ever worked?

[wise kindle]

Notributedownloads=false

Do you have this set?

[quartz swallow]

Nitrado

[wise kindle]

Notributedownloads=false

Do you have this set?

[quartz swallow]

Im askin rn

Should that be on or off?

[wise kindle]

false

[distant hearth]

NoTributeDownloads=False
PreventDownloadDinos=False
PreventDownloadItems=False
PreventDownloadSurvivors=False
are all the gameusersetting.ini for downloads ,
theese two both need be false to allow char downloads to the map

PreventDownloadSurvivors=False```

[quartz swallow]

Alright ill ask the owner

Ill let yall know

[distant hearth]

has to be one those two things really on nitrado as they setup all the shared data folder for you

[quartz swallow]

Ye i figured id ask before we had to remove all the mods 1 by 1 for it to not work anyway

[distant hearth]

if it doesnt work sod removing that many mods one by one, ftp into it, backup the save data(Most Important Part), wipe the server , set the crossark up and test , if it doesnt work try setting up a new cluster id an test again

[quartz swallow]

Ye hopefully it will work

[wise kindle]

You can also just replicate it on single player with all the same mods and figure out the problem mod without messing with your server data.

Typically the same issues occur on single player same way they do on servers.

[quartz swallow]

Ye i dont have acces to those settings myself so ill have to wait till the owner can double check the settings.
I imagine it could be set up wrong

[bleak horizon]

Anyone having issues with Taming daedons? No matter what settings are on ark they never seem to work?

[tired basalt]

"ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemStructure_GenomicsChamber",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Element",BaseResourceRequirement=10000.000000,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False)))" why is this not proper syntax?

[twin dove]

why is this?

[sacred kestrel]

Does adding a tribe limit effect tribes that are already established?

[distant hearth]

it shud prob look like this , there _C is missing
ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemStructure_GenomicsChamber_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Element_C",BaseResourceRequirement=10000.000000,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False)))

im guessing on the genomicschamber though as i presume thats a mod, u prob have to pull the code from the mod page or discord if that dony work

[tired basalt]

ok, thank you

[tired basalt]

yeah its modded, i just needed the syntax

[trim slate]

dunno if this is the right place to ask, but how do i change specific stats/levels/exp on a player?
we are trying to copy stats from one character to another character.
i have complete access to the server
ASA

[quartz swallow]

Admincheat giveexptoplayer <their id number> <amount of exp> 1 0

[trim slate]

aight

[errant fox]

Is there a code to lower cryosickness timer?

[trim mulch]

Get a better cryo mod

[errant fox]

Thanks for your input but I am looking for a code not a mod.

[trim mulch]

Ahh sorry just trying to throw a quick “solution”

[wise kindle]

I dont think there is a setting for that for the in game cryopod.

[errant fox]

Yeah, I understand most people jump to mods to solve these kinds of issues but I prefer to code this stuff in directly. I didnt think there is a way to alter this but a player was sure he seen it somewhere so to put it to rest I figured I would reach out on this matter.

[wise kindle]

You only have like, nerf settings, not really what you are looking for.

EnableCryopodNerf=True
Cryopod NerfDuration=20
CryopodNerfDamageMult=0.01
CryopodNerfIncomingDamageMultPercent=0.25

Pod mods are the only way I know of changing sickness duration.

[errant fox]

Thanks for your response. I believe you are right and just wanted to check with others.

[wise kindle]

You can double check the server settings link, but i dont think they have changed the sickness settings since ASE.

[humble thicket]

My server is not opening it crashed and not opening anymore because there were a lot of dinos on the map anyone knows how to fix it?

[stuck leaf]

would anyone be able to help with the issue i am having? im running a server using unraid, with 2 asa servers, one se and the other island, using dockers from ich777 in my appdata i have i file called "ArkPrimeCluster" for my two servers and in the docker config they are setup like this -clusterdiroverride="/mnt/user/appdata/ArkPrimeCluster" however anytime i try put an item into upload or transfer map the item/character just delete, and in the arkprime cluster folder, there isnt any transfer files

i've also tried the path "/appdata/arkprimecluster" "mnt/user/appdata/arkprimecluster" "mnt/user0/appdata/arkprimecluster" "mnt/drive1/appdata/arkprimecluster" "mnt/drive2/appdata/arkprimecluster" (these seem to be different directorys my server has) and still nothing works

[covert flare]

bruh why does my steam update ALWAYS get fucking stuck on 1% install???

[native wave]

usually because you don't have at least double the free space on your install drive for the patching process

[distant hearth]

only ever happens on multi drive systems when people are over filling main drive
edit or have had it overfilled at somepoint for a download patch

[native wave]

and while you may have freed up space, if you don't undo the staging drive it'll still use it

steam needs to be smarter about that

[lilac cairn]

What would I need for a 50-70 person cluster server?
I currently have 2x e5-2699v3 and 320gb ram also ssd based storage

[sage surge]

Anyone else seeing excessive memory usage with v43.18? I have had my servers pass 35GB usage twice now in 2 hours.

[random anvil]

Anyone wanna play ark unofficial servers together

[bleak ivy]

[earnest otter]

how do i accept invites in ark non dedicated

[bleak ivy]

are you or the other person on epic?

[earnest otter]

we're steam

[bleak ivy]

then you use steam's menus. you just need to keep trying, non-dedi has issues unless you want to port-forward or use one of the LAN things like hamachi not much you can do for connection issues.

(those are not fixes, they will just help)

[raw briar]

hey, was wondering if anyone is familiar with the "mythical armory" mod?

having trouble implementing it into the server

went to curseforge mods and found ini text. transfered text over to gameusersetting.ini, to no avail. engram still unlocks at lvl 333

[wise kindle]

For specific mod issues its best to join the mod discord. If there is no discord, ask in the curseforge mod page comments section.

If there is no discord OR comments section enabled, consider not using the mod. A full lack of communication is a bad sign.

[raw briar]

I'll double check see if I can't find their discord or comment section. thank you 💜

[urban pelican]

anyone able to get the Custom Dino Levels mod working on either map?

hey my ark servers permantly crashing what can i do ?

[lean zinc]

can i help u

[wraith sun]

Never had any issue with that mod.

[wise kindle]

Works perfect on all my maps.

[arctic basin]

hey there, can you confirm command line "GAME PORT OPTION" in Ark Ascended are '-port=' and not '?Port=' ????? thanks

[distant hearth]

-port=xxxx always works for me, if you want to check its working , look up your server name on battlemetrics and it will tell you the ipadress and port its running on

[arctic basin]

ok thanks bro

[wraith sun]

Yes -port= is correct. Not part of the ? options list.

[arctic basin]

i need to add my server myself to battlemetrics ?

oh no, its ok thanks bro

[distant hearth]

no it automatically picks up any server that is online, sometimes takes up to 10 mins but usuall it faster

[arctic basin]

that's nice tool ^^ thanks

[distant hearth]

yea its great

[arctic basin]

I'll end up going to them, ark-servers.net seems... tired to me

[distant hearth]

not heard of that one

[arctic basin]

it took them months to fix the api for the number of players lol

ark-servers.net

Do you see anything that would make my ports identical on both servers?
I set the second to 7779 but it always appears as 7777

[distant hearth]

wrap the server name in quotes , like this
?SessionName="your server here"

other than that it shud work, i mean you can try ?port=xxxx , some say that works for them, but it wudnt for me

also it shudnt need to start with quotes and end with quotes before the -port command

ExecStart=/home/ark-server/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d/GE-Proton9-5/proton run /home/ark-server/ark-survival-ascended/ShooterGame/Binaries/Win64/ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?SessionName="YOUR SERVER NAME HERE"?CustomDynamicConfigUrl="http://127.0.0.1//home/ark-server//dynamic-config/dyn-conf.ini -port=7777 -MULTIHOME=192.168.1.105 -ClusterDirOverride="/home/ark-server/ark-survival-ascended/cluster" -clusterid=SERVERSPVE -WinLiveMaxPlayers=30 -culture=en

[mental coral]

Is there anyone who could help me set up my server setting on Nitrado for my pve setting so it’s a bit boosted

I can include the settings I had for SE I’d like to match up with that

Where is the closest possible?

[distant hearth]

ark beacon omni app is a great tool,
if u have settings u already like just copy them across

[arctic basin]

I change -port to ?Port but I still connect to server 1 suggesting access to 2

[distant hearth]

did you see what put above about the quotations?

[arctic basin]

I'm on Debian, I'm trying to use iptables to open ports, nothing to see?

[distant hearth]

sry i cant help with linux as i know nothing about it , i just know how they work on windows

[arctic basin]

if i use quotes in my Session name i have YOUR" SRV TEST 1 " if i not use i have the good name, with blank space too

[distant hearth]

for testing purposes use a simple server name with no spaces , as thats the only time need quotes so something like
myarkserver
not, my ark server

[arctic basin]

ok lets try ^^

[distant hearth]

its my only solution , if not , just wait for someone that knows about linux, quite a few in here do

[arctic basin]

I already had problems on Windows with spaces, on Linux it seems to write correctly, and the rest in addition, but you never know I will discard it

[distant hearth]

windows is fine with spaces aslong as wrapped in quotations , linux seemingly behaves differnt

[icy jolt]

How do I enable structure clipping with S+ on a dedicated server?

[distant hearth]

in the game.ini
bDisableStructurePlacementCollision=True

[icy jolt]

Amazing, thx

[icy jolt]

Another question: how is it that my settings are, well, turned down I guess is a good way to describe it?
I have baby mature speed on 7, which normally is very fast ofc and it worked on previous server, now however the babys still take ages. Not as long as 1x, so they do affect something, but not as much? What do I change?

[wise kindle]

What is your current setting? BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier?

[icy jolt]

It was on 7, now is 28 and it's still slow as fuck

[olive talon]

For bigger stuff, you want higher numbers.

I have 45x maturing, and rexes still take 2h

[icy jolt]

Well I'm currently hatching a 170 wyvern. On my previous servers with the same setting that was really fast, like under a minute. Now it'd take probably 30 mins or more and I don't know what changed

Hm

[olive talon]

45x for a wyvern takes 2h and 3m.

[icy jolt]

On a dedicated server and ase, right?

[olive talon]

Maturing is the same for asa and ase.

[icy jolt]

Can you recommend me settings that'd make "normal" dinos take like a minute to mature, and make dinos breed every few minutes etc?

On past servers these ones worked fine so no clue why they arent now

[wise kindle]

Are you sure your settings are taking effect? As in, are you applying changes while the map is stopped? Also, you have to pop new babies to see changes in settings. Babies already hatched will not use new settings.

[stuck leaf]

if you want fast cool down, i'd set it to like 0.001 or something (will only change dinos not already on cooldown)

[urban pelican]

I’m using Nitrado servers. How did you get it to work? Trying to do the WantsHighLevels option

[wise kindle]

I use the default. Just add the ini entries and make sure you add them to the correct ini file and under the correct header.

[stuck leaf]

are you making sure to do a dino wipe after setup to see the new spawns?

[urban pelican]

I don’t believe the modder states where to put them, other then in the gameusersettings ini file

[urban pelican]

Yes we have done a few times

[wise kindle]

Are they under [serversettings]?

[urban pelican]

I might have tried that, I’ll give it a shot

[wise kindle]

(Oops on the links)
Happy Saturday everyone!

Does anyone know of a good fix for connection timeout?
My friend is trying to rejoin my server, after making it into a cluster, and it keeps timing her out.
She can see it on the lists, and is doing the password correctly.
But she did just have a patch update (through Steam).
So far, she has restarted, verified files and is now trying something through CMD lines.

Is there maybe something wrong on my end, as to why she can't join?
My partner is currently playing on our server now, through Xbox, and my friend will be playing on PC.

Any help is appreciated!

[sly pulsar]

hello guys, i and my friends are currently hosting a server on a divice, but today we tryed to increase the difficulty and change some settings

But an issued occured, we have the server crashing at every start with this message :

[CrashReportClient]
bHideLogFilesOption=false
bIsAllowedToCloseWithoutSending=true
CrashConfigPurgeDays=2

can someone help us please

[wise kindle]

Can she join the same map, with the same mods enabled in single player?

[versed basin]

Not sure yet, she's uninstalling and reinstalling right now. I'll ask her if the issue persists.

[wise kindle]

Yeah this usually isolates the issue. It could be a bad mod install.
Also, killing her character and having her respawn can also solve this issue IF it’s determined that her mods are NOT the issue here.

[versed basin]

We are hoping she can use the same character, because before the clustering, my partner and I experimented with trying to transfer off arks, and lost both of our characters, and now she's the admin of the tribe, haha~

She said:
i have tried everything, I am uninstalling it and reinstalling it, last time it was an issue with ther server permissons

[wise kindle]

Yeah, kill her character so she has to respawn. This makes the game reload the map on respawn. Sounds silly but its gotten a good number of players past this.
Then have her try it on sp with identical mods and map
The combination should help you solve the issue.

[versed basin]

Interesting! That works even for connection timeout?

[urban pelican]

i put this below the [ServerSettings] header setting:

[CustomLevelDistrib]
MinLevel=1.0
MaxLevel=30.0
MaxDrakeLevel=38.0
MinDrakeLevel=30.0
MinDeinonLevel=1.0
MaxDeinonLevel=30.0
MinMagmaLevel=1.0
MaxMagmaLevel=30.0
WantsHighLevels=True
PreventBee=True
PreventTitan=True
WantsCustom=False
WantsRagLevels=False
WantsEqualLevels=False
TinyWeight=1.0
LowWeight=0.5
MediumWeight=0.25
HighWeight=0.1

[wise kindle]

No no it just gets ppl past a loading issue that can occur after updates or changes. By killing her character it changes the way it logs her in and triggers a re render that doesnt occur with a simple login. Its the simplest thing to try and it cant hurt so I recommend it when ppl say they start logging in and then it kicks them. Thats usually the issue . Otherwise its a mod install typically.

[distant hearth]

i can see an issue here i think , u set custom levels but yet are turning them off.
WantsCustom=False

[urban pelican]

oh, i was told that a completely different thing

[distant hearth]

so there switches on or off , they need be 1 of 3 on ,

WantsRagLevels=True
WantsEqualLevels=False```

this for example wud make all dinos have 150 max and higher distrubtion to higher levels like ragnarock map

your settin custom levels yet telling it to ignorse them with , false ..
atleast thats my understanding off it, you wud need them switches set to ,
so there switches on or off , they need be 1 of 3 on ,

WantsRagLevels=False
WantsEqualLevels=False```

[urban pelican]

oh are you talking about the Drake/wyvern setting?

i forget to put that back at default

[distant hearth]

no the entire custom setting , this is a custom setting ,

MaxLevel=30.0```

ure min dino level is 1 , the max is 30

[urban pelican]

ya that would be lvl 5 to lvl 150

[distant hearth]

no sir

[urban pelican]

yes

[distant hearth]

ok so assuming im wrong, ure still not telling it use that

[urban pelican]

for server offset is at 5.0, so 30 devided by 5 is 150

that defualt settings

[stuck leaf]

would anyone be able to help with the issue i am having? im running a server using unraid, with 2 asa servers, one se and the other island, using dockers from ich777 in my appdata i have i file called "ArkPrimeCluster" for my two servers and in the docker config they are setup like this -clusterdiroverride="/mnt/user/appdata/ArkPrimeCluster" however anytime i try put an item into upload or transfer map the item/character just delete, and in the arkprime cluster folder, there isnt any transfer files

[distant hearth]

overrideofficialdifficulty=1 is multiplied by 30 ,
but this is a mod with a min an max level , its making it easy for you an doing the x30 auto...
mute point though , its not being told to use it

[versed basin]

Alrighty, I'll have to try it, since she still can't get on

[dire sierra]

Does anyone know if you are able to run ASA servers on windows OS 2019 yet? Has the issue been resolved?

[tawny idol]

Anyone else having issues with players losing their character? I’ve got 2 players who are up to character 4 or 5 now. Some are when they crash just after loading in or transferring others are just when they go to load in it asks them to create a new character. No character to download. Any ideas? Getting really painful re doing all their Boss’s to get all their engrams back. Even a code to give the all the engrams back?

[wraith sun]

This can happen if your cluster storage goes down. The game has no way to detect that so it just tries to write, which will actually often succeed but not be writing to the actual network storage.
This is self hosted or nitrado?

[tawny idol]

Self hosted - Cluster Directory on same Drive

[wraith sun]

If you unmount the cluster storage from the server that they uploaded from, you may actually find their character there.
But there are also various in-game bugs that can cause this, so I wouldn't get your hopes up.

Oh it is on same drive? So not network stroage. Welp.

[tawny idol]

Yup same drive not a network drive

[wraith sun]

Yea sorry most issues like this are related to the cluster storage, but being on same drive you avoid most of that. I think more than likely it is some in-game bug, there are a few. I would recommend them to make new character, or even duplicate their character for them on the other server.

[tawny idol]

Yeah ive just been force joining their tribe adding them back into their tribe giving them EXP to get to back Max Level. That's fine but than we have to run the Boss's again so they can get the Engrams back...

[wraith sun]

They already max level just dupe their character if nobody cares lol. Save the hassle of restoring it all the time. It is surely no solution though. I don't actually know how buggy the character transfers are so maybe just worth disabling them and increasing char xp a bit to make leveling new character easier. I know singleplayer has all sorts of issues with transfers right now so I would expect they address all of that stuff at once.

[tawny idol]

The strange thing is that its really only 2 players that have had the issue. Hopefully they can come up with a solution to the problem. Honestly i would be happy if they could just give us a command to give them the Engrams back lol

[wraith sun]

Ah yea no that is definitely a bug though. That sucks. They are the chosen ones lol.

[grave shale]

hey, i have an island server currently running, and when the center comes out i’d like to make a cluster, but if i do this am i going to need an extra 16 gigs of ram, so 32 gigs total to run 2 servers?

(seperate computer from where i play the game)

[lunar cloud]

each instance uses roughly 8-10GB of RAM for about 1-5 players, and its also dependant on how many concurrent players you may have.
I have a 8GB cloud VM running two maps currently for myself and few friends and it runs very well with no lag.
I enabled 32GB of VRAM, which is perfect for Ark.

no need to spend money on physical RAM.
You can reduce your compute footprint even more by running ASA servers on Linux (proton/docker) which works very efficiently. Super light on memory and CPU compared to running Windows

[wraith sun]

Please do not try to run ASA on 4GB per instance you will have a bad time.

[grave shale]

rip, i have another problem. since the update my friend can still join the server but me, joining from the local ip, just gets a black screen :/

ive tried verifying files, restarting server and computer multiple times etc...

[true thunder]

Ello, I've been using a Nitrado hosted server to play with friends, and I was wondering if theres anyone else here with experience with nitrado ASA server clusters? I am planning to have 2 servers - 1 for The Island and 1 for The Center when it releases - in my own cluster. But I want it to be exclusively accessible to my 2 friends and I. I saw that Nitrado server clusters do not allow you to password protect them (or at least I read that somewhere while searching for answers), So I was wondering what methods there are to keep the servers - and cluster itself in its entirety - private?

TLDR; Planning to make my Nitrado-hosted ASA server into a cluster, I want it to be private. I read that you cannot password protect clusters, if this is true what other methods are there?

[true thunder]

I tend to get a blank screen when I join my server, i just wait a couple minutes and it loads (or crashes sometimes lmao). Maybe its just loading a bit more? I hope this helps

[wise kindle]

My entire Nitrado cluster is password protected. You just set the server password for the map on the General settings page. Its the second entry on the page.

Called "server password"

[grave shale]

waited for like 10 mins and its still just blank no crash or anything ):

and i cant open the menu when im stuck have to force close the game

[urban pelican]

Nitrado ASA The island server, when it does the auto restart it doesnt save the world and does a 10min to 30min roll back. anyone else know if this can be fixed?

[feral topaz]

set auto save sooner
rcon cheat saveworld < then auto restart>
set auto restart for 1min later 12:01 so it saves

[urban pelican]

how to rcon cheat saveworld? is that a command?

[grave scroll]

Hello, why are the servers in ark survival evolved empty? Although it shows 20k online in steam

[feral topaz]

i cant help you. as i dont use nitrado.
login to game. enable cheats. type cheat saveworld.

[urban pelican]

Nitrado ASA The island server, when it does the auto restart it doesnt save the world and does a 10min to 30min roll back. anyone else know if this can be fixed?

[wise kindle]

It also counts single player and unofficial s that arent listed in the client server list.

[grave scroll]

But it's still weird

[wise kindle]

Math can be a world of wonder.

[grave scroll]

The strange thing is that of all the servers I found only one with only 24 players

All other 0-3 players

[wise kindle]

ASE Steam unofficial servers DO NOT show up in the lists. The list wont populate, it never showed more than a couple hundred maps. That’s why they have to use ip connections to find their servers. Theres literally thousands there that it will never show you.

[grave scroll]

and how do I log in to ase?

[wise kindle]

That’s why you dont see, the pops, the servers dont show in the list.

[wise kindle]

I just said via ip, you contact the server owner and get the ip. If you are not familiar with ASE Steam there are tutorials on this on youtube etc.

[grave scroll]

I can't add a server, an error

he writes that such an ip does not exist, although the server is running 100%

[lean zinc]

hello i m looking how autorize construction on caverne entrance please on my server ?

[drowsy totem]

i need help to crossplay can someone help me and talk with me thank you

[lean zinc]

Hello PerPlatformMaxStructuresMultiplier whhat is this parameter in asend please ? i can't make it works on ASA ?

[distant hearth]

all server ini lines can be found here,
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration

[lean zinc]

this is for ascend or survival because there not the same

[distant hearth]

list both, most are same tbh , on left is a green tick for asa and if ase

[lean zinc]

yes thanks that's works

do i know if ingame on my own server i can see the value of parameter directe on the commande line ? like :

getPerPlatformMaxStructuresMultiplier

[latent yarrow]

Is there an ini setting that disables the name your tame pop up after taming or claiming a baby

[covert flare]

how in the world do I make it to where my wyverns dont need milk, is there a baby food consumption stat i can lower?

[lavish stone]

yes you can do that, this would also make it for the rest of the babies too tho

anyone knows if there is a setting for the cryopods, to remove capture prevented when injured?

[silver linden]

I’m considering opening up a server but I only have a Xbox if I do will I still be able to do the basic things

[wraith sun]

The way Nitrado works they give you a way to edit the ini files and all through browser. So you'll be able to do a lot more than you can now. Most mods you can't even configure without ini change.

[silver linden]

So it technically could be done?

[wraith sun]

I mean I don't see any issue, so long as you have a way to manage the server, and that can be done on any browser easily if you are using Nitrado.
One of the biggest pains on console is you can't edit your own configs, but if you have a server you can.

[olive talon]

Yes, you use the website or the mobile app to change settings

[silver linden]

Alright I will try then

[quartz swallow]

Does anyone know what disable downloading player information specifically means

And could that prevent people from downloading stuff in our cluster

[quartz swallow]

Alrighty

[distant hearth]

i dont use nitrado but im pretty sure that setting disables all downloads , like notributedownloads=true in the ini. If i right it will block all downloads ,
setting a unique cluster i.d stops anyone downloading from outside the cluster

[misty forge]

Anyone ever tried putting your own background music into a server?

[drowsy totem]

i need help to crossplay can someone help me and talk with me thank you

[surreal grove]

anyone good at crash reports? that i can dm?

[quartz swallow]

I done send a pic of the settings in dm of you could take a look

[distant hearth]

i didnt get dm, prob it blocked

[bleak horizon]

Gigas, carches and gigaraptors not spawning on one of my maps (island) honestly confused as ive done set spawns? anyone else having this issue? also do i need the mod for gigaratpors?

[native wave]

No. Gigantoraptor is built into the game now

On island you don't need anything specials for them to spawn. They share spawns with theris

Gigas and carchas are super rare on a couple of the mountains and volcano

[finite spruce]

Hi--I'm hosting a server atm and trying to figure out why I'm still unable to clip structures into each other, even though I have DisableStructurePlacementCollision set to true? Is there another setting I need to enable?

[bleak horizon]

thank you, ive not seen any of them spawn in at all for days, dont know where ive gone wrong 🤔

i have wyvern pets, gryphons and Cyrus' Critters: Jumping Spider but unsure if they would over rule these spawns

[olive talon]

None of those should cause issues, they don't use the same spawners.

[bleak horizon]

Thank you thats what i thought 🤔 should i increase theriz spawns to include gigaraptors? Thanks

[olive talon]

You likely are just having bad luck, try a dino wipe and then wait a little bit. You can also use a dino finder mod to help see spawns.

[bleak horizon]

yeah i done a server restart and have done dino wipes and i have admin panel mod that scans the map, nothing showing on all 3 wild dinos.

[olive talon]

I wouldn't do multiple wipes over the course of a few minutes, wait while before doing another one and give spawns time to settle.

[bleak horizon]

this has been over a few days.

[olive talon]

They spawn fine without me using anything to change it or use any mods, probably just bad rng.

I've gone for weeks without seeing gigas/carchas.

[bleak horizon]

Always my luck 😂 any suggestions on how to fix? or should i give it a few days?

gigas and carches spawn on my other map just not island so unusual!

[olive talon]

Give it few days again and see, the gigantoraptors seem to be overspawning for me on my unofficial. There are several.

[bleak horizon]

this is bugging me for sure hmmm not one spawns for me 😭

[distant hearth]

try this,
enablecheats <whateveryouradminpasswordis>
cheat listdinos

then see if there are any on map, sometimes people just dont find them , despite there spawned

[loud comet]

is there a config that allows you to enable a player to eat while flying?

[quartz swallow]

Oh

[distant hearth]

not that ive ever seen, if you bothered by having eat too much can lower how fast players lose food a a bit

[loud comet]

yeah i've already tweaked that a bit and i like consumption slightly reduced, it's just the QoL of being able to do it while flying. i feel like you should be able to, realistically risky? sure, but certainly not impossible lol

[distant hearth]

lol yea i mean you can pull out a spy glass so... clearly can ride one handed

[wise kindle]

I just land. Call me crazy.

[versed basin]

Good morning everyone!
I hope everyone had a good night!

I'm back with the same issue as yesterday. 🥲
So, everyone that plays in my house is able to connect to my cluster, but my friend who lives in another area isn't able to. It keeps timing out when she tries to join.
She's played on the server before, when it wasn't clustered.
We've killed her character so she has to reload the map.
The only change I've made was the server is on a different port (which is open.)
She was able to join just fine before it was clustered, too.
She's already uninstalled and reinstalled the game, too.

Any advice?
We're trying to keep her character, because she's the tribe admin, since I lost my character when trying to transfer arks. 🫠

[bleak ivy]

are the servers on different ports?
for the tribe, you can use the "maketribefounder" command to allow you to be the owner again.

[versed basin]

Yes, they are. I'm using the ASCT program to organize them.

Edit: also, for some reason it's not letting me bring up the admin console.

[bleak ivy]

the entire console or not being able to use it? should just be the `(~) key under escape.

if that doesn't work can use the console way in the setting then the pause menu.

[versed basin]

It's not popping up the admin part at all. I can still do console commands, but not admin type. it's weird. 😩

I may have noticed something with the ports. I'm going to see if it changes anything.

[bleak ivy]

are you doing the enablecheats command?

[versed basin]

Yup, and also tried the admin password one. I have both saved in my console command, because I was able to access it before. 😦

[bleak ivy]

ooo, wonder if the bat file is messing up and setting the password as more then it should.

[wise kindle]

What command are you running after enablecheat password to verify that you are not in admin mode?

[bleak horizon]

Could i possibly ask another question if you have time.

[versed basin]

I do the enable cheats then the show admin panel (whatever it's called, lol) But nothing had been popping up. 😩

[versed basin]

I hope not. The password hasn't changed at all for admin or server logins. 😦
I wonder if it's just her. If I make a temporary pass to one of my maps, would someone want to see if it times them out?

[wise kindle]

showmyadminmanager ok just checking

[olive talon]

You're more than welcome to just post your question and ask someone else may know.

[bleak ivy]

have heard some people say here that the passwords can start to "eat" the rest of the bat file and then you get super long ones. setting it as the last ? command in the file should fix it.

[bleak horizon]

Thank you, im just wondering if anyone else is having issues seeing password protected servers?

[versed basin]

I'll try that. But I feel like it would have messed up the server pass too, right?
But everyone in the house has been able to play. 😦

[bleak ivy]

might only happen to admin passwords. and since you are in the same house the ports don't really matter

I never even set ports on my server since I'm the only one to play lol

[distant hearth]

copy paste the text from batch file here , its for asa right? id bet its all wrong like usual , just xxxxx any info u dont want to share

id be thinking there not taking what ever port your setting and there running 7777 and 7778

[versed basin]

Yeah, but the friend I'm trying to play with lives under a totally different IP. 😦

[bleak ivy]

thats what I mean. in a single house or network(lan connection), the ports won't really matter. if they are joining from the internet then they absolutely do.

[versed basin]

Yeah... blah... There isn't really anything to change on my end the ports are open, and the ark server port is running, too. And it shows up on the server lists for her, just times out.

[bleak ivy]

the servers using the same port may do that 🤷

[versed basin]

It's all different ports, changed the incremental numbers for them.

I'm booting up one of the extra servers with a temp login. If anyone wants to try to see if it times them out, I'd be very grateful for the assist!
Just message me, I'll send you the server name and info.

[distant hearth]

asa or ase?

[versed basin]

ASA

[distant hearth]

i can try join to test if u want

[versed basin]

If you have time, I definately have time! You've also helped out for previous issues over the years. I appreciate your dedication to the community. 😄

[distant hearth]

yea np , just send me the info

[wraith sun]

If you are forwarding ports I would make sure external and internal port are the same. I had some issue there, but my setup is much different.

[versed basin]

Oddly, before the clustering, I didn't have any issues with her joining the game. 😦

[wraith sun]

It is also always possible that if you have forwarded to a DHCP ip then it was renewed and you have a new IP, would allow people within network to connect but not external. To prevent this you always want to set a static IP for your server.

[warm bobcat]

why is ts so difficult settings wise compared too evolved😭

[wraith sun]

It's the same, stop crying.

This is just normal networking and port issue, very unlikely it is actually game related.

[bleak ivy]

servers setup and even the program have barely changed between ASE and ASA. its just specific settings or wording.
non-dedi and dedicated are just very different.

[distant hearth]

double check on battlemetrics the port its on is what you set an forwarded, just type the server name in an it will show the ip an port its running on

[versed basin]

Looks like it matches for all three servers.

[distant hearth]

thats good then, shows its shud be fine ure end

[versed basin]

I wonder... could BattlEye be the issue?

[bleak ivy]

I'd disable it since its a private server anyway.

[versed basin]

I did have it disabled before I did the clustering, but afterwards, I didn't double check it.
I've disabled it again today though.

[royal edge]

Hey does anyone know how to make someone admin on a non dedicated server?

[wise kindle]

You would have to give them the admin password you set when you start up the map I believe.

If you just want them to have creative powers, you can try this:

Look at them and type

cheat gcmt

That should give them GCM, but I have never tried that on non dedi before. It works on dedi anyway.

[royal edge]

Well I have the password it just won’t let me put the commands on

[wise kindle]

non dedi is a different beast that doesnt always work as intended. Your best bet maybe to just give him the password then change it later.

[sacred kestrel]

Is there a code that makes drops seen again? The spawn point in the sky is only visible long enough for drop to hit the ground and then it disappears

[cursive viper]

Is anyone’s non dedicated server crashing while loading in?

[wraith sun]

Not sure what options you have on console but that is related to global illumination. It's client side stuff, not related to server. If it's really not in graphics settings the command I think should work would be like r.DynamicGlobalIlluminationMethod 2

[onyx gale]

Has anyone heard of unkillable/invincible level 1 creatures in caves on The Island? Getting reports of it from players on my server

[wraith sun]

Yea this is a bug. It can prevent you from interacting with many different things. Like crafting structures, players, dinos, etc. Relog should always fix it, but leaving area and coming back can work too.

You can have like 20 fridges and 1 randomly you cannot access it. It's this same stupid bug.

[onyx gale]

Great thank you!

[drowsy marsh]

Hello having issues anytime I join this unofficial no wipe server I join for like 5 seconds none of my base loads up then I crash help me please? 😅😩

[lavish stone]

You have a big base... ?, try single player or another server if you have same issue? Try lowering graphics

[drowsy marsh]

Already tried all that haha

[lavish stone]

Everywhere the same orjust that server?

[drowsy marsh]

Just this server

[lavish stone]

That looks like a server problem

Contact the owner, and ask him

[drowsy marsh]

It’s weird because my Mrs gets the same problem just us in the tribe

[lavish stone]

Think what happend before it happend and what changed, that might give you the best solution

Could be an update that causing it

[drowsy marsh]

Probably adding spam

Might have to go and pick it all up

But then how do u not get wiped without spam lol

[lavish stone]

Might be overpopulated with breeding dinos or someting too

[drowsy marsh]

This is true

[lavish stone]

Can be alot that can cause it

[drowsy marsh]

Super annoying do u think they could come out with a fix at some point ?

[lavish stone]

If the server is selfhosted there are fixes you can do yourself to it but nitrado not

There is also a tool the owner can use to see all the stuff on the map etc

[wraith sun]

They do know it is an issue, they recently increased timeout when connecting to server, and it should have fixed some of these kinds of issues. But I think more to do.

[celest goblet]

Hey if anyone needs help with setting anything up feel free to DM me new to the group! Thanks

[onyx gale]

Another quick question. I have 3 servers in my cluster. 2 of the servers take about 2-3 minutes to restart. But 1 of the servers takes 20-30 minutes every time. Anyone else experienced weirdly long restarts on a server? All 3 have the same settings and same mods on my end. Not sure what's causing one to take forever.

[wispy delta]

Umm did you check your automatic task settings to see how long the reset is set for? I normally just set it up to 5-10 minutes but sometimes Nitrado would be so dumb and set the resets to 25-30 minutes I personally had the 30 min reset happen to me on one of my servers and had to change it back to 5 minutes

[onyx gale]

Im not seeing that setting under the automated task settings?

Oops forgot I cant do screenshots here

All I see is Time Interval, Date Interval, and Action

[wise kindle]

I had this and it was related to a corrupt save file. I ended up moving everyone off the map and doing a wipe/reinstall to fix. Hopefully thats not your issue. You will know if its a savefile issue as it will slowly get worse over time and take longer and longer to boot/shutdown.
You could try shutting down (waiting an EXTRA 15 minutes to ensure the beast is dead) then removing all the mods, hitting save, then readding them. The startup will be long since it is reinstalling the mods but it may help abit with the issue.
Good luck Sir.

[gilded copper]

is there a way to add/remove items that dinos drop?

[feral marsh]

Hey everyone; I have recently attempted to start my own dedicated server, but I've been running into some walls. For instance, my crew and I have been playing for the last few days, and today after a restart, we logged into all of our sci fi CKFR stuff having disappeared. I don't know if maybe there is someone who could walk me through setup? Or could give me some pointers?

[onyx gale]

I can definitely give that a try. Would that wipe all the mod stuff on the map during the reisntall?

[wise kindle]

Reinstall that mod, then rollback to a save point before it disappeared.

[wise kindle]

If the map is fully down while you do this your stuff will be safe. Just readd the mods, hit SAVE again before you start back up.
This will help get your mods updated and hopefully fix any weirdness you may be seeing from your mods on startup.

Best to just copy paste the mod numberic list when doing this so its the same mod order.

[onyx gale]

Sounds great, I'll give that a try. Thank you!

[feral marsh]

Thank you! I will give it a try; I am using AMP (Application Management Panel); to uninstall, I just remove the mods from the mod section on server settings, and then save, then add them back?

[wise kindle]

Ah for non Nitrado maps Im not sure if it works the same. The idea is to trigger the map to reinstall that mod. For Nitrado thats how you do it.
But the general idea is to reinstall the mod and then rollback to before they poofed on you. That should return it back to where it was.

[haughty badger]

Anyone know if the "MaxTribesPerAlliance" setting works for private hosted ASA?

[wanton magnet]

hey guys quick question, freind of mine has an unoffical server setup and for some reason the decay timers are not working on player structures. does anyone else have this issue and maybe a fix?

[feral marsh]

It worked. Thank you so much

[haughty badger]

Do they have "bDisableStructureDecayPvE" set to true?

[wise kindle]

Nice!

EngramClassName="EngramEntry_HemogoblinCocktail_ASA_C",
EngramHidden=True)

OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(
EngramClassName="EngramEntry_XiphSaddle_ASA_C",
EngramHidden=True)

OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(
EngramClassName="EngramEntry_CeratosaurusSaddle_ASA_C",
EngramHidden=True)

but it didnt worked. did i put wrong class names?

[dense dome]

Can anyone give me some incite as to why a certain creature would overspawn? I have not messed with spawn ratings at all on my server. I was getting a hugs amount of rex's spawning on SE. I changed the map to The Island and now it's questzals

[distant hearth]

try it like this and see if it will work ,
OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_HemogoblinCocktail_ASA_C",EngramLevelRequirement=999,EngramPointsCost=1,EngramHidden=True,RemoveEngramPreReq=False)

Not sure why it needs to be done this way with asa but thats how i blocked cryopod engrams, simply hiding them wudnt work when it shud really

[pure haven]

thanks i will try it

[warm otter]

Someone knows the admin command for a earthquake?

[jaunty vortex]

dedicated unofficial server, are alliances broken? Can't create one. Have offline raid protection false and no tribe alliances false

[distant hearth]

it shud be
PreventTribeAlliances=False

[jaunty vortex]

Yeah, got that in gameusersettings.ini

Checking my config with beacon

[distant hearth]

theres a couple other settings relating to how many can be in alliance, got them set to like 9 or something too?
i havent tested it in asa so is poss ure right an it just dont work

[jaunty vortex]

In beacon, preventtribealliances is false.

Preventofflinepvp is false

Maxalliancepertribe=10
Maxtribesperalliance=10

[distant hearth]

shud be fine , prolly just broken an thats why there no official orp

[jaunty vortex]

I think so. I searched back and others can't create one

[humble sierra]

Hello everyone, just a quick question... Anyone know what the "private match" mean when you try to make a non dedicated server. I mean if you put a password, do I need to check "private match" or not ?

[jaunty vortex]

I think it's broken 😦

[distant hearth]

i cant test it , but if others had same issue, wud make alot sense as to why they didnt do officials

[jaunty vortex]

Yeah. sigh trying to avoid ever growing tribes

[distant hearth]

isnt there a limit on how many can join a tribe? that no work either?

[jaunty vortex]

Oh it’s not that big a tribe

[distant hearth]

MaxNumberOfPlayersInTribe

[jaunty vortex]

8 in the tribe. But with the number of members we have, it’s getting a long list of tamed dinos

[distant hearth]

not sure what you mean by that sry, but i guess it dont help then

[jaunty vortex]

It’s set to 70 😂

[distant hearth]

was just thinking , set it to like 2 or 3 if u wanted smaller tribes

[jaunty vortex]

It’s more we don’t want to have to have everyone in one tribe to interact.

[distant hearth]

ahh yea i get ya

used look after a streamers server an that was always an issue

[jaunty vortex]

A friend and his boys have joined our server, we wanted to form an alliance without them having to join our tribe

[distant hearth]

it must be to do with pvp or , the orp setting becuase it works fine on pve or atleast did last time i played

[jaunty vortex]

Server is set to pvp.

[distant hearth]

i havent played in a couple months, but it was 100% working on pve back then......
dont mean they dint break it since or it never worked on pvp

[jaunty vortex]

I’ll check Reddit too. See if there’s anything. Cheers for the suggestions.

[distant hearth]

bit of a random question to ask in
#unofficial-setup-help

try any other channel? lolz but i kinda get the point i suppose,
#general or #ark-survival-ascended might get a response really depends on what the issue is

[muted lodge]

OK, is there anyway to decrease breeding interval time, and the time it takes for things to mature on an apex pro hosting server? the hosting has the same ark config file as most other hostings

[distant hearth]

yea you just alter the settings to what you want , ark beacon omni app/program is great for getting the numbers u want to suit you . Theres alink to it in the pinned messages of this channel, second one down

the free version will allow you to alter breeding settings, see the effect it has on each dino, then you can use the numbers on your own server

[muted lodge]

ok thx

[distant hearth]

or you can link it to your server an use it to deploy the settings , but im not sure if thats paid only version

[sharp furnace]

Is there a way to transfer a character from one map to another on a single server, not a cluster

[worn fractal]

Hi how do i automate dino force respawn on reboot for my cluster? (nitrado)

[sharp lake]

I can't seem to disable the sloped metal wall engram on ASA.
I've tried each of these:

OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_MetalWall_Sloped_Left_C",EngramIndex=0,EngramHidden=True,EngramPointsCost=0,EngramLevelRequirement=0,RemoveEngramPreReq=False)

OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_MetalWall_Sloped_Right_C",EngramIndex=0,EngramHidden=True,EngramPointsCost=0,EngramLevelRequirement=0,RemoveEngramPreReq=False)

OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_MetalWall_Sloped_C",EngramIndex=0,EngramHidden=True,EngramPointsCost=0,EngramLevelRequirement=0,RemoveEngramPreReq=False)

MetalWall_Sloped_Left_C seems to be the spawn code for it, so idk why it's not working

[distant hearth]

yea beacon brings up that for me , can try this way , so its just impossible to actually get access

OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_MetalSlopedWall_Left_C",EngramLevelRequirement=555,EngramPointsCost=7)

[sharp lake]

I will give it a go

It's literally the last engram I need to adjust

[distant hearth]

seems beacon isnt sure either ... unsual , but i find the other code as ,
"MetalWall_Sloped_Left_C"
cud try cheat gfi both names, see which actually works

[sharp lake]

left works to spawn it as an admin, that's the weird part. And that code you gave me did work. Could just be a game bug?

Engram just can't be removed for some reason

[distant hearth]

try it like this ,
OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_MetalSlopedWall_Left_C",EngramLevelRequirement=999,EngramPointsCost=1,EngramHidden=True,RemoveEngramPreReq=False)

i dunno why asa needs it that way, buts its how i blocked cryos

might be its this part , RemoveEngramPreReq=False
as im not sure what that does

[bleak ivy]

wouldn't those be the engram requirements like a bunk bed requiring a bed.

stands for Prerequisites

[distant hearth]

that wud make sense, sounds right

in which case i have no idea why just hiding engrams doesnt work lmao , yet does work if assign them a level like 999, then hide them

[sharp lake]

OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_MetalSlopedWall_Left_C",EngramIndex=0,EngramHidden=True,EngramPointsCost=0,EngramLevelRequirement=333,RemoveEngramPreReq=False)

idk why, but this somehow worked even though the other one didn't lol

[distant hearth]

glad u got it to work an yea asa be doing ark things an weird at times

[idle bison]

how do you make it so your server has auto learn engrams? also how do i remove cryo cooldown? server is a nitrado xbox server

[tired vessel]

anyone know what the Server Map name will be for the ASA The Center? Trying to get my server configs in place before the rush. I'm guessing TheCenter_WP 🤷

[distant hearth]

thas as good a bet as any , id think it be that

[grizzled meteor]

hi guys, can anyone drop me a working config example to enable ASA server transfers between island and scorched? there is many misleading information on the interwebz

[distant hearth]

as in the ini codes or the bat file command lines? as both come into play , also depends how the servers are hosted

[grizzled meteor]

selfhosted windows server

[distant hearth]

do u run them from seperate folders or same folder with seperate batch files?

[grizzled meteor]

seperate folder

[distant hearth]

if you have the two server instances running out seperate folders, they need a shared cluster folder
using this in commandline
-cluserdiroverride=xxxx

where xxxx is the folder they share
ie.-cluserdiroverride="D:\mycluster"

so u need a clusterid and a shared folder, both servers using same

[grizzled meteor]

allright -clusterid=xyz something like that in start arguments right?

[distant hearth]

Start ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?SessionName="willzlaptop" -port=9999 -winlivemaxplayers=10 -nobattleye -clusterid=xyz -cluserdiroverride="c:\arkclusterxyz"

as an example if u ran the batch file from the .exe location an u had it on a c drive

[grizzled meteor]

is this right for GUS.ini
noTributeDownloads=false
PreventDownloadDinos=false
PreventDownloadItems=false
PreventDownloadSurvivors=false
PreventUploadDinos=false
PreventUploadItems=false
PreventUploadSurvivors=false
?

[distant hearth]

yep that will allow everything to be transfered

[grizzled meteor]

nice, thank you 🙂

[distant hearth]

just be sure to backup the servers and test it so u dont get issues with lost char or w.e if theres an issue

[grizzled meteor]

sure, did a full backup before 😉

btw. do you know when center will release?

[distant hearth]

yes, #announcements

the link shud show in ure timezone

[grizzled meteor]

holy moly, what a nice timing 😄

[distant hearth]

🙂

[grizzled meteor]

just came back to ark and a map is going to release

I hope wildcard pays you.. its like the 3. time you helped me.. 😄

[distant hearth]

haha they dont, im just paying it forward, everyone here helped me setup servers over the years 🙂

[shy rover]

I am pretty much brand new to the game and really have no idea what I am doing. Are there any youtube videos you would suggest? Or even if anyone would be willing to help a newbie? I am pretty casual with games as a whole

[distant hearth]

wrong section but , pretty much just search begginer guides,on youtuibe phlingerphoo has some half decent ones, but its all down to personal prefence.
you can try asking in #1110949794907684965 for someone to help play game with you but i doubt that will get any takers.. never know ya luck though

[shy rover]

Thank you

[distant hearth]

its a pretty complex game an gets hard at the start, worth the effort though

[grizzled meteor]

join a tribe with some OG's they will teach you

[shy rover]

ok! I definitely want to learn but I am just so lost haha

[haughty badger]

I don't mind helping you out. I'm at work for a bit so response may be delayed. Shoot me a dm

[shy rover]

Sent!

[grizzled meteor]

hmm I can transfer to the other server but it does not let me download the character, it does not even list it.. hmm

what is SessionName .. is this required?

nvm I may found the issue..
