[outer steeple]

So I'm experiencing a bug with my dedicated server where it won't open the server console on start. Instead of the black cmd window I'm getting a small white box. Basically not opening correctly. Anyone any ideas?

[lone lodge]

Good day all, Question. What would cause a server to randomly not connect to a persons character? (Expl: Person logs off in thier base in island, logs back in a day later and only hit character create screen?) I also need to know if there is a way to get the character back? Its just like if you overwrote them. The old toon is sleeping on the floor)

[solemn zephyr]

Easiest way would just be have them make a new one after killing the sleeping body, and give them their levels and base back

[broken halo]

i need to know to know this trick ive had this same issue with random loss of characters i dont have a backup program running so never been able to test the convert to store thing that willz was talking about just because im worried about loseing the whole map

[solemn zephyr]

Unless it's on ASA and you've been doing automated backups, you can try to restore their player profile if you know their eos ID

[lone lodge]

Yes ASA, This is teh 4th one over last 2 months. so will be wiping and fresh install the 1st. but i would like to understand more about why, fixes etc.

[lone lodge]

and Ty sounds like I may not be the only one having issues.

[broken halo]

Wild card hasn't been talking about this issue so there is very little on why it happens and how to fix it as you see no your not the only one

Willz has told me and others a way that should solve it which is -converttostore, -usestore in start params but best to backup server before doing so cause it may cause corruption. Run server for a while and at next restart remove converttostore and leave the usestore as perm param

I don't have a back up program running so I've been chicken to try I would hate to loose all my members hard work

[muted raven]

So uhm , looks nice and all that Ark club, but what about Unofficial Servers?

[maiden niche]

You sir are a Genius

Best of the Best

[mental rain]

So if I add the Power Ranger premium mod to my server, people who do not own it will still be able to connect right? They just won’t be able to use the skins ?

[slate bridge]

is the clubark for unoffical aswell ?

[frigid vine]

Not for now. I guess they will let the official servers test before releasing to us. 🤞

[broken halo]

No everyone will have to pay for it if it's a mod on server since client side has to match what server is

[stray raft]

Lost all my mods on xbox after updating. Will this happen every time?

[dusky thistle]

Didn't they add the thing of making it optional whether it was server only or all clients for those mods or was that still on the "to do" list

[broken halo]

Not that I know of ... but I don't know all their changes either

[dusky thistle]

I heard talk about it but don't use those mods so was never sure if it ever got sorted out.

[broken halo]

As far as I know if a server is set up with mods then the client connecting must have those same mods or it won't connect it prompts clients at load screen to download and if it's premium requires the purchase

There are mods like custom cosmetics that client can have and use but server does not have to include

[pure haven]

power rangers is a custom cosmetic mod

[pallid kestrel]

anyone able to find servers?

[native wave]

unofficials cannot update yet. if you updated your client you have to wait until we can update our servers for you to see them.

[dusky thistle]

Patch just went out, but isn't released for unofficial yet

[broken halo]

Aah I see didn't even look to know it was cosmetic lol 😆

[pallid kestrel]

Ahh didnt realise it wasnt out for unofficial yet, just restarted all me servers

[native wave]

WC hasn't pushed the patch to public yet, or nitradopc

[broken halo]

Yeah I hate this part of running the server 😒

[native wave]

when they show up in general chat....gently remind them we exist and want our players to be able to play too 🙂

[untold pewter]

Why aren't unofficial servers up?

[broken halo]

It really should be pushed to servers before the client honestly

[native wave]

should but they don't

[agile stone]

Anyone know if we'll be able to implement private server Club Ark, or is this official only?

[native wave]

public hasn't been updated yet so no unofficial servers can update yet

[distant hearth]

doesnt really matter which way its done, if dont match major version, u can t join

[broken halo]

Same as dev kit then they wonder why mods break and have to wait 4 or 5 days before they get fixed

[bleak ivy]

they didn't mention anything about non-officials having it. I hope we can do something tho

[native wave]

well the difference being, if a server updates first...those clients go down anyway to update their clients

[agile stone]

I agree, it would be nice if we could offer our players the same "feature"

[bleak ivy]

we can hope

[astral lotus]

Is there a way to restore ConfigOverrideNPCSpawnEntriesContainer for ASA? or like a simple spawners mod out yet? ty

[bleak ivy]

simple spawners isn't in ASA yet, haven't seen it anyway.

[native wave]

hoping for a stealth quetzal fix....see no patch note for that

[languid forge]

How do we know when unofficial servers have been released to update?

[bleak ivy]

people will also start saying it here

[languid forge]

Sorry, where is that found?

[bleak ivy]

are you on PC?

[astral lotus]

I been using beacon omni to override the dino spawns in ASE, but when i try it in ASA the dinos don't spawn at all, was hoping if something was set up to recreate that functionality

[languid forge]

Pc server, Xbox player

[native wave]

pinned comments, thumbtack in upper right, or on mobile, the search icon, select pins

[bleak ivy]

no, discord

[languid forge]

on PC yes

[raw glade]

How to find pinned messages in Discord:
https://gyazo.com/6a198b55c6101ae1615c09cce5dde480

[bleak ivy]

[languid forge]

I meant how to check pins for "steamdb link" is that a different discord channel?

[native wave]

no, in this channel

[agile stone]

Hmmm, I know you can override certain dinos, on our servers I removed some of the pests, pegos, leeds, the rat birds, etc. I think the config line does allow for you to replace said spawn with another but I never used that part of it.

[native wave]

pinned comments: thumbtack in upper right, or on mobile, the search icon, select pins

[native wave]

you should see a message with two steamdb links by CountryBee

[astral lotus]

Its more of My question is more like does ASA support ConfigOverrideNPCSpawnEntriesContainer commands since I tried it I have not been able to get it to work. regardless of using beacon, the generated code is the same but does not produce the same results as expected.

[languid forge]

it says "Last Record Update 17 June 2024 – 21:07:16 UTC (50 minutes ago)"

[dusky thistle]

It just released it looks like

[woven linden]

NitradoPC is showing an update now.

[distant hearth]

beacon has been upadated, asa seems to need the full dino blueprint path to manipulate the spawns,
ase cud use the shorter path

[woven linden]

Ah and public as well.

[broken halo]

I see one map on search through ps5

[bleak ivy]

I do be updating

[agile stone]

Same, last update was 2 mins ago

[native wave]

yep, one of my servers updating, need to wait on the others but they are already offline. it dinner time

[broken halo]

OK looks like it's 47.2 able 😆

[native wave]

they were deploying as I was typing out a message to skittle 😆

[broken halo]

Lol I was just refreshing search till maps showed up

[astral lotus]

yeah my nitrado server is updating as well.

[broken halo]

I did see in the wiki the line for doing it and examples to copy and try but specific sets require a little back and forth copy and paste and it is a long path line when fully built but it is possible and asa supported

[pallid kestrel]

stuck in a restart loop forever?

[ancient kindle]

Everyone's having server issues?

[agile stone]

Dunno yet, we just got the server side update

[rugged tendon]

Nitrado hasn't received the update tho

[rugged tendon]

😮 lucky

[ancient kindle]

Well that's screwy

[agile stone]

?? If we got it on unofficials (check steamdb) I can't imagine Nitrado doesn't already have it 😄

[native wave]

nitrado has it according to steamdb. nitradopc was updated 21 minutes ago

[astral lotus]

yeah I been doing it for ASE for a while, if the code is the same for both games and calls for the same arguments to be inputted it should work but yeah again it is ASA...thanks

yeah i just restarted my server and its updating thats all i know atm

[rugged tendon]

I haven't yet. Weird. I'll restart

[native wave]

no quetzals on my server

[ancient kindle]

My nitrado server is updating now

[celest halo]

that dont mean nitrado has done there checks on it and allowing it on servers yet

[native wave]

exactly

no issues booting up and getting into my server, self-hosted

[celest halo]

all 3 of mine look like they updated fine

selfhosted

[distant hearth]

mine seem fine , self host,
just wait for the influx of bootloop nitrado servers

[rugged tendon]

Nitrado Update is in a restart loop 🥹

[astral lotus]

ouch, mine just finished updated to 47.2

[rugged tendon]

Both of mine said not today ma'am. Sad.

[pure haven]

lol its possible to host ark club on unofficial. just did it on my tests server. havent tried to add it to cluster tho

[golden kayak]

HOW?

[pure haven]

as any modded map. use mod id and map name BobsMissions_WP

saw the map name in list for official server and decide to give it a try. didnt expect it would work lol

[wise kindle]

The Custom Cosmetic whitelist update process is a joke right? Every mod will have to be manually checked for an update and then manually updated on our maps?

Really?

[void juniper]

Anybody having their xbox players not receiving the update yet?

[wise kindle]

what about prize transfers?

Its good?

[dusty jay]

can club ark be added to a private dedicated server?

if so whats required to get it setup? The instructions on it are nil

[pure haven]

no idea. i havent clustered it yet. just started it on separate test server havent really checked much yet

[elder plover]

if it's just run as a seperate server with a unique map which is what it sounds like then itll be the same process as clustering any server, make sure they both have the same cluster id and point to the same cluster director and then enable transfers in the server's setting to allow upload and download

[rotund light]

It is working on unofficial in cluster.

Have it installed and up and running. Now scarry to join the server haha.

[foggy hare]

hmmm i added it to my cluster but....it reset to day 1... welp thats my fauilt for not reading it proper. i thought it was set up as a event type not a entire new map. means i need to pay for another server from nitrado to have it :/

[dusty jay]

it doesnt appear to have a map name

just a mod number

[pure haven]

it does - BobsMissions_WP

[distant hearth]

gotta wonder if its accidental or they just "forgot " to tell unofficials how to do it,
same old shit , wing it an luckily someone finds out

[dusty jay]

wtf where does it say that

[pure haven]

its not in mod description but you can see it if you check official map list

[elder plover]

they dont document shit, at this point im amazed they even made that post that kinda explains how to update stuff for the cosmetics

[dusty jay]

can you send me a link

[pallid kestrel]

fuckin massive restart loops

nitrado sucks balls

[pure haven]

its in game. go to official tab and check map filter

[humble thicket]

Anyone know how to install the power rangers mod it keeps saying failed to install during the intialization

[old swan]

How long does it take for nitrado to usually force restart after a update?

[distant hearth]

there is no link, its not documented..
start like u wud any mod map with the mod id first and the map name set like this ,Start ArkAscendedServer.exe BobsMissions_WP?SessionName="whatever" -port=7777 -winlivemaxplayers=10 -mods=1005639

[bleak ivy]

is 1005639 the club ark mod?

[distant hearth]

thats the id cf gave me

[slate bridge]

Clubark does work on unoffical 🙂

and its sick

[foggy hare]

but how does the club ark work with clusters? xD i was hoping my community could interact with people outside our community, have some fun, and safely transfer their stuff back to the map they live on...but it looks like if i add it to our cluster they wont meet anyone new cause you can only transfer things between the maps within the cluster XD sadness

[astral lotus]

just an update for anyone curious got ConfigOverrideNPCSpawnEntriesContainer working on my ASA server. Testing for giggles, it got Pyromanes spawning on Carnivore Island.

[bleak ivy]

transferring is still a nightmare, I wouldn't trust non-clustered transfers.

[foggy hare]

guess i was a bit too excited for my community to have a possible chance of meeting new people outside of our servers lol

[feral fractal]

Same ^

[distant hearth]

it wud be nice if they cud make that work, but i just dont think its possible, to much possibility for exploits

[feral fractal]

So do I have to do anything special for my server for the power rangers mod

[worn seal]

i need help, my server search only appear few servers, and i cant even connect directly to a server with ip

[distant hearth]

not far as i know, its a cosmetic mod, so its just activated all time, then players that buy can use

[feral fractal]

Is anyone game crashing everytime trying to look at the cosmetics?

[frail crescent]

So... Do we need to enable the DoCustomCosmeticValidation now ?

[bleak ivy]

think its for people that want to whitelist it I'll see if mine is still open without it.

[humble thicket]

How does the new cosmetic stuff work for a nitrado server? All of us on the server are xbox so idk how I'm supposed to do the new stuff to add the cosmetics back in 🙃

[haughty cairn]

anyone managed to get club ark working on unofficial yet? I have the mod on the server, but idk what map name to use

[bleak ivy]

BobsMissions_WP

[haughty cairn]

Awesome, thanks

is there a command to give the tokens?

[feral fractal]

What is white list?

[bleak ivy]

a list that only allows certain things.

[feral fractal]

Do I have to do anything to my server for this cosmetic mod?

[haughty cairn]

#announcements

[lethal patio]

anyone elses stuck updating?

[bleak ivy]

not for power rangers. should be enabled base as the officials whitelist would have it enabled.

[lethal patio]

been an hour now

can't shut them down or restart just Updating

i'm so done with ark and nitrado evryday they break the game these days

[proud copper]

Has this issue remained fixed for you since you formed your tribe?

[native wave]

Yes

[proud copper]

tysm! I have been searching for a few days now. haha Appreciate you!

[haughty cairn]

hmm, I just want the command for thew ark money token things to test lol

[agile stone]

Ngl, I don't know what happened but holy shitballs, booted after the update and 2 of the 3 servers (The Center and Scorched) were set to Day 1 again, map wiped entirely, and no player/tribe files worked. I thought maybe we had to add the Club Ark Mod Id to each map and I was totally wrong on that, the minute I tore em out everything works again. So i assume, that was the cause.

I'm gonna need something strong tonight I think..

[old swan]

I wish Nitrado would roll out a forced restart, can't play on the server I normally play on right now

[shell laurel]

I use steamcmd to update and am getting (Missing file permissions) as both anon and my steam account. Anybody else ?

[olive talon]

Oh is nitrado's update not out yet?

[haughty cairn]

it is, my server has updated

there is a cheat Addtokens command, but it aint working, rip

[late estuary]

I play on console, Nitrado update is out for me now. They wiped mods again LOL so I have to re-download them again. I just did this yesterday lmao

[rugged tendon]

Anyone's server working ?

[late estuary]

Mine is up, but can't join till the rest of the mods download. I'll report back

[carmine ledge]

Does anybody know how to Enable Custom Cosmetics Validation on Unofficial Servers😭

[late estuary]

They gave us this, but I don't understand it: https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/forums/topic/736592-enable-custom-cosmetics-validation-on-unofficial/

[dense hill]

-DoCustomCosmeticValidation in game.ini or gus ?

[carmine ledge]

I know that why i asking they not telling me nothing with that inf. thanks anyway.

[carmine ledge]

so just add that line to the game.ini and that it.

[late estuary]

If it's a runtime command and you host on Nitrado, they usually roll those out as checkboxes in server settinngs. Otherwise I don't know where to put those things

Honestly better place to ask is the Nitrado discord

[native wave]

my server has been up since I updated it. I joined it once before dinner and everything was good. Self-Hosted btw

[bleak ivy]

can confirm mine was too. also launched a club ark server played a minigame, lost and quit

[granite canyon]

Im not understanding this -DoCustomCosmeticValidation thing. To allow members to use that new powerrangers thingy do I need to add that? if so do I add =true to the end of it? does it go in gameuser or game.ini ?

instruction unclear, foot stuck in rex.

[native wave]

I might try the Club...but it's not a priority since it's only me. Going to survey the people who try it out to see if it's worth the effort

[bleak ivy]

going by the - its a launch option so if you are nitrado gotta wait for them.

yeah, the post in #announcements says its a launch option

lol. nitrado not steam self-host just adds it to the bat file

[granite canyon]

I am on steam but I have some members on PS that say its not validated even though they purchased? unsure if I need to make any changes for it to work, its all confusing 😅

[bleak ivy]

yeah, meant nitrado. no idea why the power rangers isn't working.
maybe you need that

[rugged tendon]

Thankyou.

[bleak ivy]

its a minigame server. you do minigames, gamble your money(the ingame stuff from the minigames lol) away. then upload it to download it on your server

[native wave]

only thing new was the patch...have not applied any of the new mod or map stuff. Was only my Center server in the configuration I had it before the patch

[granite canyon]

Okie doke! Would I add this to the game.ini or gameuser.ini?

also is it:
-DoCustomCosmeticValidation
or
-DoCustomCosmeticValidation=true

?

Appreciate your help!!!

[bleak ivy]

command line is not an ini.

[granite canyon]

I understand nothing 💀

[bleak ivy]

its a server setting that ntirado doesn't have access to. self-host has them in the bat file.
nitrado would need to add a button for it in the UI

[granite canyon]

ahhhhh okie doke - will wait for that and remain patient 🫡

I genuinely appreciate your kind time ❤️

[bleak ivy]

I don't even know if thats required for power rangers. don't see what else it'd be tho

the whitelist has more options I guess wonder how that reacts to no list.

[native wave]

nitrado really needs to add adding stuff to the command line...like I get why they wouldn't want to add editing the entire command line but they could do like what pterodactyl does....additional parameters and additional flags....that just get pasted into the correct spot in the command line. Doesn't even need full command line access

I'm thinking I want to see if I can get into the development of the pterodactyl egg for ASA. there are some definite improvements I can make to it. It was developed (basically copied from the ASE egg) back before people figured out you don't need a query port

[agile stone]

Meh... has anybody running an unofficial managed to get Club Ark working? on my server cluster clicking that button does jack diddly nothin... I'm thinking if I even wanna see it, I'm gonna have to jump on the official server network.

[foggy hare]

you made sure it has the same cluster id as the server your on?

[agile stone]

I run my own hardware, so I'm trying to figure out how it all works, it doesn't appear to allow unofficial server owners to set it up, unless I missed something in the span of an hour

[wise kindle]

Just join it fresh

[foggy hare]

hmm weird. i use nitrado so idk. i had to make a seperate server for it, give it same cluster id as my other servers and it showed up fine for me and we were utilizing it pretty well

[agile stone]

Interesting, did you have to copy all your rates and things or just a cookie cutter server with the mod?

Ahhh I see, yeah don't need any of that for the club ark stuff it looks like, it's a stripped down thing

[foggy hare]

its not a normal server so adding like taming rates or harvest rates, etc is kinda pointless

yeah, your charcter kinda goes to sleep when you transfer over to it. and you remake your character when you join, but its pretty fun

[lost gust]

assuming everyone cant update their servers via nitrado currently?

[vale owl]

all the severs that are showing up for me have like 5 people in it how do i see the pop severs ?

on steam

[dense hill]

what is the name of the club ark map?

[small spindle]

i have the new power ranger downloaded but dont see it under custom cosmetic in my unofficial server?

[uneven flame]

I dont even see it in my single player game

[uneven flame]

BobsMissions_WP

So do i have to do the -log -PrintCosmeticCRC to make the whitelist now?

• If you use custom cosmetic whitelists please read the following:
• The cosmetic whitelist structure has also changed to support this
• Each entry now has 4 pieces of data
• Mod ID|Enable Dynamic Download (0/1)|Allow non-dataonly blueprints(0/1)|Calculated package CRC
• If any of the mods update, the CRC will need to be updated. For the official whitelists we'll be trying to keep on top of that but for any custom whitelists server admins will have to mantain that themselves.

Make sure to have the latest version of the cosmetic installed and add to your client launch args in steam:

Quote
-log -PrintCosmeticCRC

Doing so will print out these for every cosmetic mod version installed. Just find the one for the mod ID you need to update and copy that 4th data piece to the whitelists in place of the old one.

Quote
Cosmetic Whitelist CRC: 1030997|0|1|-1321326967
Cosmetic Whitelist CRC: 980875|0|1|1158890534
Cosmetic Whitelist CRC: 985917|0|1|1163568749
Cosmetic Whitelist CRC: 974285|0|1|-489728695

The print command also prints 1 for the "allow non-dataonly" placement if it detects that will be necessary in order for the cosmetic to be allowed to be used on the client. Right now all mods report as having non-dataonly blueprints but that will change over time and admins should prepare to enable this with more scrutiny.

and is 0 i pressume is true?

[native wave]

0 is false, 1 is true

[jolly dove]

Anyone having "Mods failed to install" issue? After updating I can't start my servers due to this error. Other than the update there's been no changes.

[lunar cloud]

One thing you can try is retry starting, sometimes it fails due to networking issues and can be resolved retrying few times.
But unfortunately large major patches almost always breaks mods, so most likely need to wait for mod authors to update mods with a fix.
Its the side effect of using mods

[frank tartan]

We hosted a unofficial ark club but we're not getting coins from the missions or dodo birds. Anyone know why?

[tepid berry]

Those are client commands, not server commands. And you just need it to get the CRC values and use the new format for the whitelist, yes

[ashen fog]

Anyone know why I can't join my friend who has xbox access on, I'm on xbox they on pc, it says something about buildid

[uneven flame]

So someone on xbox cant run those commands to make the whitelist

[ashen fog]

Please help

[uneven flame]

check player servers in the menu

[ashen fog]

I have, their server doesn't show

What it says when I try to join is, client build I'd doesn't match host buildid would you like to wait to automatically join this session

[uneven flame]

update the game

[ashen fog]

I just installed it

[uneven flame]

Then the server isnt updated

[ashen fog]

How does one do that?

And she said she wouldn't be able to play it if it wasn't updated, she's on pc xbox for it

[uneven flame]

It depends on how they set it up. For me on GSA it automatically updates when it can

whats the server name

[ashen fog]

Would out of date mods do it?

[bleak ivy]

PC xbox hasn't been updated yet

don't think it got it yet anyway

[ashen fog]

But how can they play it then

[uneven flame]

Xbox is updated

[ashen fog]

I'm just sad, my friend waited 2 hours for me to install it and it won't work 😦

[bleak ivy]

the server probably didn't update yet

[uneven flame]

Whats the servers name

and is it password protected?

[bleak ivy]

PC xbox hasn't updated yet so whatever they are playing has to be the old update which would be why you can't join.

[ashen fog]

Yes it is password protected

But it said my client build id doesn't match theirs

[uneven flame]

is that box checked in the search/?

[ashen fog]

Yes

[bleak ivy]

xbox has the update. PC xbox does not.

[ashen fog]

I just installed the game

[uneven flame]

then they are out of date

[ashen fog]

Would it be out of date mods that could be stopping me?

[bleak ivy]

does your game say its on v47.1

[ashen fog]

Idk. I just installed it

[bleak ivy]

check.

[uneven flame]

Are you on a Console or windows ?

[ashen fog]

Where at?

[bleak ivy]

its on the main menu before you hit press start

bottom right

[ashen fog]

I'm on xbox and it doesn't say anything on bottom right

[uneven flame]

is the friend on windows ?

[ashen fog]

Yes. But they have xbox option enabled

[bleak ivy]

should be the same spot on all platforms? are you on the menu with press start or the join, SP, mods menu?

[ashen fog]

I'm on the main menu page. It shows the news

[uneven flame]

And you are positive they are on windows not STEAM?

and that they are playing on the server?

[ashen fog]

They are not on steam they are on xbox app for pc

[uneven flame]

Then that is it

[ashen fog]

How

[uneven flame]

its out of date

[ashen fog]

But they don't got a update for it, they just checked

[uneven flame]

Windows Verrsion does not have the update

[bleak ivy]

its not out yet.

thats what I've been saying with PC xbox isn't updated yet

[ashen fog]

Do we know when it will be out?

[uneven flame]

I figured that its why i changed the question set lol

[bleak ivy]

nope, just gotta wait

[gilded copper]

my friend cannot find my server on the list. its started and working, her checks look accurate, but my server is not showing up for her. crossplay is active. tips?

[bleak ivy]

PC xbox isn't updated yet.

[gilded copper]

i am pc using xbox gamepass, and she is on xbox

theres another update?

uuuuuugh

[uneven flame]

Windows version, and xbox, steam, and PS all have different updates and can come at different times

[gilded copper]

i missed it, what is this update for?

[bleak ivy]

#patch-notes

PC xbox is still on 46.2 while steam, xbox, and playstation are on 47.1

[gilded copper]

well shitake mushrooms. So that's why she cant find my server even though it shows on the list on my end?

[ashen fog]

Hopefully the update happens soon

[bleak ivy]

yep, your server hasn't updated so you can still see and join it assuming you can join it

[gilded copper]

i was in it a couple hours ago

dang

[bleak ivy]

is it nitrado or self-host?

[forest solstice]

Hello I just ordered a server yesterday got all my setting to what I wanted and it’s not coming up anyone else have this problem?

[bleak ivy]

are you on PC xbox?

[forest solstice]

Xbox!

[unborn iron]

Probably been asked, and probably will be again, but I've scrolled up 3 hours and didn't see an answer yet. How do I add this power ranger mod to my server? If people buy the skins it just works? I dont see it on the cursed forge list. I'm not sure how the premium mods even work compared to the regular mods

[bleak ivy]

check to see if both you and it updated.

[forest solstice]

I’ll look

[bleak ivy]

this one is a cosmetic so its automatic. you don't need to download anything serverside. some people are having issues with it tho on unofficials.

[gilded copper]

Nitrado

[bleak ivy]

it'll update eventually then. no idea if/when that will happen. (I believe they can update already)

[gilded copper]

Alright. I'll shoot over to the nitrado discord and see what they know

[unborn iron]

Oh thank you. My server is clamoring to get it added and I'm pulling my hair out trying to find it for them😂

[forest solstice]

Everything looks to be updated it showed up one time earlier and when I clicked on it it was having me download the mods and it was Alamo’s finished and failed and now I can’t find the server.. I’m not sure what’s going on

[bleak ivy]

check if nitrado says its online

[forest solstice]

I’m on it now it says it’s started up I’m restarting now for the 10th time lol 🥺

[timid geyser]

thanks ! working with the good name of the map...

[agile stone]

For those of you who may run your own hardware and self host, if you are looking to run a Club Ark server see below:
To Install Club Ark for your cluster:

#1.    Install a fresh game server in Haruhost, name it Your Server (Club Ark) or something.
#2.    Add 1005639 to the Mod List
#3.    Adjust Command Line Arguments to reflect your cluster ID, port and strip out anything unnecessary.

ArkAscendedServer.exe BobsMissions_WP?Port=7811?ServerAdminPassword=SOMETHING -mods=1005639 -NoBattlEye -clusterid=YOURCLUSTERID -ClusterDirOverride=PATHTOYOURCLUSTERTRANSFERFOLDER -WinLiveMaxPlayers=40

I hope this helps anyone still trying to figure it out. 🙂

[bleak ivy]

what is haruhost?

[agile stone]

It's a server manager but this applies to anyone running it via server manager or regular

I've had to struggle and really put a lot of time into Haruhost, it's a decent Server Manager tho, I like the features it does offer, the automation alone helps a great deal hehe.

[bleak ivy]

I've just gotten used to manually doing server stuff with ASA 😂

I just use steam client to download tho. I did do steamCMD to install once lol. saw no reason to switch completely.

[agile stone]

To be fair, I was holding onto hope Blecht would come out of retirement and start on an Asa version of ASM 😄

[untold granite]

does anyone have a link for single player settings that i can copy for my nitrado server?

for the ini files

[agile stone]

Are you just looking for a basic template or the .ini files with the official rates already plugged in?

[untold granite]

not the official rates.. just the 2.5 multipliers where its applicable

[agile stone]

Ah... hmmm.. all my .ini files are custom written, I won't be much help here unfortunately.

[untold granite]

ah.. well thank you ... is there any basic templates floating around

[timid geyser]

guys consider this mod as a separate cluster map, simply put the map name: BobsMissions_WP, then the mod: 1005639, and your cluster parameters identical to the other map. Nothing else to do

[keen sorrel]

Same until I got Pterodactyl running, now it's half manual. 🤣

[agile stone]

yup, I posted it above 🙂

As for basic templates, I'm sure there are, but they are very elusive, I can tell you that Dododex reports as of 8 hours ago that everything is literally at 1x, Taming, Harvest, XP, Maturation, Egg Hatch, Mating Interval, Cuddle Interval and Imprint.

[untold granite]

ah ok

thank you

[agile stone]

No problem good luck!

[timid geyser]

not too complicated to operate under pterodactyl, you find a tutorial on "gameservershub" to operate the clusters, then usual procedure

[agile stone]

hehe Pterodactyl is great, we used it for our FiveM servers but it was pretty versatile, granted you needed a *nix o/s to install it, but yeah, it's a great manager. 🙂

[timid geyser]

yeah, I use it for quite a few different servers under a machine with a 5900x, and 128gb of ram, under promox

[agile stone]

Niiice, I was considering dedicating one of my machines to it, we run Dual Xeon 32 core machines with 256gb ram for our servers atm, a nice linux development box wouldn't be a bad investment tho.

[small spindle]

anyone know why mu power ranger stuff isnt showing up on my friends unoffficial server? i bought it

[chilly coral]

Maybe server needs to be updated to see the skins?

Otherwise I really don't know.

[small spindle]

ugh

[pure harbor]

Is the custom cosmetic auto download thing enabled for PC?

For unofficial automatically or do I need to do something to the Game.ini or usersettings?

[hollow robin]

is anybody else having an issue where players cant join your servers due to having to pay for a DLC/MOD when there are no payed DLC/MODS on the server

[lunar cloud]

that will cost $666 to make the bug go away

😄

[frail ferry]

all numbers 666 from mods to cost to file space....evil ass company

[hollow robin]

o shit they can get the discord to work right just not the dam game lmfao

shit my server with no mods is the same way lmfao

[lunar cloud]

crazy, i couldnt beleive it and googled it, there is a reddit post with a person reporting it with a screenie and loads of people having that issue.
I might just avoid playing ark for a few days until this gets fixed lol

i dont want ark randomly stealing 666GB of my disk 😄

[jaunty vortex]

Must be why it’s still “early access” because it’s definitely not a finished product

[gilded copper]

does anyone have the Asharavel's Bestiary mod?

[hollow robin]

constant issues never gets better evin after many months of this being out its still trash and they wonder y people are on ase instead of asa or just leaving for palworld

[gilded copper]

I tried to go to their discord but it was a game of thrones server and i was told he doesnt like to talk about the mod there ...

[robust nymph]

Restarted servers (again) and players seem to be able to join without issue so far.

[tidal scroll]

Just trying to catch up, buddy is trying to play on Xbox and is being forced to download all the mods again for our server, others having this issue? My ps5 is fine and only has one mod update

[exotic stone]

the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers mod is not showing up on nitrado is it meant too or not

[tacit bridge]

anyone having issue with their dedicated server after update we cant join it and host connection issue

[haughty cairn]

Yo, anyone know the command to add tokens for club ark?

nevermind, found it, lazy devs lol

[molten elbow]

how do you get the server to change to the clubark map? ive installed it and it just keeps going to the island

[tawny idol]

Need to change the map file name to BobsMissions_WP

Anyone else's Servers using way less memory than normal? My Island server is only using 5.5Gb....

[slim turret]

anyone found it how to set up club ark on unofficial?

I added the mod to center and scorched and changed our TheIsland map to BobsMissions (which is running about 20 minutes now)

We have the Club ARK button ingame but no server seeable

[stuck tinsel]

i had same problem, did you find a way ?

[haughty cairn]

BobsMissions_WP in the custom map box (if using nitrado)

[bitter lily]

having this issue on PC myself...

[gray gulch]

works Club ARK on Unofficiel Server??

[spare brook]

so are some of my players - anyone know if this is clientside or server?

[gray gulch]

or only at Official Server´s

i dont have a Ark Club Button on Pause Menu

[nimble fog]

Is Club ARK A mod or a map? Trying to add it to my cluster...

[spare brook]

I wish! (nope, mine are as chonky as normal)

[slim turret]

a map and a mod

you have to set up the WP map and add the mod to this map (not to other maps!)

[slim turret]

yes

[nimble fog]

Whuts the mod ID?

[slim turret]

Pretty easy tbh

1. set up a new map like with center or scorched

2. add BobsMissions_WP as map aswell as the cluster id and stuff

3. add the CLub Ark mod (1005639) to this map as mod (other maps in the cluster dont need the mod, they wont work with the mod!)

4. join a normal map, press esc and enter the ark club

5. have fun

[nimble fog]

Tnx.. So setup as normal but command line needs BobsMissions_WP and -mods=1005639....

[slim turret]

the map name needs to be BobsMissions_WP instead of for example TheIsland_WP

[nimble fog]

Seems to have worked! But it said "warning, ur character is not being uploaded....." then when I joined I'm at character creation screen. Is that normal?

[tawny idol]

Yeah mine are back to normal now sadly. Not sure what happened everything was working fine just using half the memory. Wish it w had stayed that way.

[slim turret]

dont have any issues, so I cant tell, sorry 🙂

[nimble fog]

No worries... does ur character and stuff in backpack upload to it or did you have to create new character?

[slim turret]

I travelled naked to the club cause we hav pelnty of other mods on the server and I just put the ClubARK mod into the Club map

My character was downloadable like transfer to any other clustermap

[nimble fog]

ok, tnx

[humble thicket]

do i need a whole another server for club ark?

[peak sapphire]

Yes

[deft hound]

hi does anyone have the cheat code to get the point in the club map ?

[humble thicket]

thank you!

[gray gulch]

Hello, do you also get the warning when you try to connect to the Akr club? "Warning! Your survivors are not being uploaded. It will go unconscious where you are standing?"

[queen bluff]

It's a display bug. The 666 is only a placeholder, the game is supposed to load the real values before presenting the screen, but seems to fail or delay at times.

It's like how the mods page shows "insanely great mod title" briefly before showing the correct text

[tacit bridge]

my ark dedicated server is not updating to 47.2 and stuck on 45.21

any idea how to get it to update?

[peak sapphire]

I got that. I’m more interested in if you try and transfer back to the server you came from if it will wipe your unconscious charater that was left there.

[gray gulch]

I haven't tested that yet.

[oblique pewter]

Anyone here have a console specific cluster? Asking as a dev

[misty edge]

can someone help me when i want to play my single player ark server it keeps crashing at ragnarok_c4_far_2

[oblique pewter]

Verify files

[white latch]

hi im trying to make a cluster for me and my friends on linux and almost everything is working
both servers are online lost island and ragnarok but when i try to go to the other server it lets me go there then when i press spawn survivor it just sends me to the screen to create a new survivor
im ussing linux gsm and have both servers running in different places
lost island /home/ark
ragnarok /home/ragnarok
all settings are the same
i read online someone else had the same problem but he never got anyone to help him

[deft hound]

hi does anyone have the cheat code to get the point in the club map ?

[dull apex]

Anyone else notice a slow memory leak on their servers?

When nobody is online, my Center map server will slowly climb at about 0.1 GB every 5 seconds until it maxes out my RAM allocation at 16 GB. If somebody logs in, it triggers garbage collection and suddenly the map only needs 12 GB RAM. As long as somebody is logged in, garbage collection runs periodically.

This memory leak pretty much crashes my server within an hour during periods of low use.

[white latch]

im not an expert but i heard poeple having issues bc they dint increase the max open files (if youre on linux)

[misty edge]

thanks but i fixed it i just reinstaled my mods

[dull apex]

Interesting, where did you hear this?

[white latch]

some ark discusions and reddit posts when searching for the answers to my problems

[dull apex]

Got it, thank you

[white latch]

np youre welcome

[past parrot]

Is there a way to keep 2 maps between each other transferable while the other maps on our cluster doesn't intervene with it? Cause we have primal chaos mod on our server + shiny mod and if u clone a shiny mod u get the normal dino in return with better stats which u can transfer across. So now we closed it off, but was wondering if we open a new primal chaos mod on a new map if that's possible to keep it between those 2 servers

[timid tiger]

Does the Ark Club server not save the data? Well, for me no character data etc. is saved.

[haughty cairn]

Cheat GiveHexigons 100 works, have not figured out how to give to others though

[hazy stone]

Can someone explain to me how to load cosmetic mods for my dedicated cluster? I know we can't have the mods as apart of the regular mod list.

[ruby kindle]

Anyone know how to code out the auto door feature in ASA for an unofficial server?

[charred dagger]

Is anyone else having issues with nitrado servers? Mine is stuck in this update loop.

[vagrant cape]

yo guys Im trying to play ark ascended with my friend on pc while im on xbox but he is on patch 46.2 and Im on 47.1, he has no updates

[jaunty vortex]

Announcements. #announcements message

[main quest]

Does anyone know if you can add the Club Social thing to a Private Server? Does it get hosted like another Server/Map?

[robust nymph]

The social is its own map, not a mod applied to a map.
Can add to a nitrado cluster and then you're players can join it through the pause menu.

[robust nymph]

Place
CosmeticWhitelistOverride=URL
In Gus under the server settings header and it'll allow all custom cosmetics to be used.

[hazy stone]

and then just list the mod numbers in that line. I just tried that and got it working. thank you

[main quest]

Thanks.

[sweet delta]

Anyone know the command to add tokens through cheats? Testing stuff on a server.

[haughty cairn]

Cheat AddHexagons 100

[sweet delta]

@haughty cairn For Club ARK?

[haughty cairn]

yes lol, lazy devs

[sweet delta]

Weird as. They have a AddTokens command that doesn't work. Weird.

[haughty cairn]

fixed spelling

ye, I tried ages with that one

[sweet delta]

Weird as

[haughty cairn]

idk how to give tokens to other players tho

[sweet delta]

They obviously use the old Hex Store from Genesis as a reference haha

[haughty cairn]

yup, same sound too

[sweet delta]

Hhahaaha

[native wave]

no doubt testing the code with Club Ark

[sweet delta]

Im hoping there will be some sort of INI options to edit the loot with what the Casino can give. Loot rarity, etc. In the future

[distant hearth]

since i dont think they even meant for it to wrok on unofficial i doubt it...
they never even told us it cud work...
they either forgot (i doubt that)
or was not really intended to work for us

[sweet delta]

Very true.

I'm sure there will be a modded Club ARK version made for Unofficial with plenty of INI options with the loot. I'd imagine. It's all do-able anyway.

Just have to wait for Dev Kit.

[willow pendant]

Does anyone else have problems with clustering in there server?

[distant hearth]

nope works fine for me

self host

[willow pendant]

Everytime someone tries to travel from server to server they get stuck in downloading their character

[distant hearth]

nitrado or self host?
make sure the cluster id set exact same on both server

[willow pendant]

I have a nitrado server and checked the cluster 3 times lmao

[distant hearth]

gonna have to contact nitrado then, it works for everyone else

[elder plover]

yeah contact nitrado if they can see their character it seems like the file just isnt transferring right to me

[distant hearth]

its usually summit daft, wrong filters set in ini or there stupid crossark section

[willow pendant]

Ohw ok thanks! I will contact nitrado then

[exotic stone]

the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers mod is not showing up on nitrado is it meant too or not

[native wave]

it's a cosmetic mod and will only be in the game mod store

[exotic stone]

Oh so I don't need add it like I did the other mods I have then

[native wave]

the only mods you add to the server are mods which have the server doing something. All cosmetic mods which are client side only are only on the client. Dear Jane is an example of a mod which has both client side cosmetics and server side functions. It has to have the server spawn the packs you find in the world.

they enabled cosmetic mod background downloading in the last big patch, so that client side cosmetics will be downloaded in the background by the client. The server has nothing to do with that unless it has cosmetic mod validation and a whitelist for what cosmetic mods are allowed on the server.

I have not setup the validation myself, so I can't comment on how well or if it is working. Others here can comment on that.

[humble thicket]

Is there a layman's terms explanation of how the custom cosmetics whitelist works? Feel like I need a degree to understand this crypticness.

[rugged tendon]

Anyone else on PC getting the -

• Refreshing Invertory screen --> Failed to restore Ark Invetory

Random screen and it won't go away after the update?

[grizzled pawn]

Does anyone know what may be the reason some of my mods are not working properly? Im playing with my friend on not-dedicated server on the "Lost island" map and I think the only mods that are working are the ones that add some engrams and stuff like that. The mods that add dinosaurs, bosses and creatures are kinda working I think but we have not seen any of the new creatures yet and we have already 15 in game days played, the reason I said they are kinda working is cause when i typed spawn code in the console the creature from mod has spawned. I would appreciate any help.

[solemn zephyr]

Wild dino wipe

[grizzled pawn]

i used the destroywilddino command and it didnt change anything

[deft hound]

Does anyone have the cheat code to get the point in the club ark?

[haughty ether]

So rewards on Club Ark? They aren’t going back to the main cluster with my players ? What did I miss?

[bleak ivy]

should just be uploaded.

[haughty ether]

Aaaah I bet they didn’t check uploads lol

They will have thought it would be on their character. 🤦‍♀️

[dawn coral]

Question I have the CC whitlist disable do I need to add the command DoCustomCosmeticValidation to get the cc to download

[native wave]

Testing some changes I made to the pterodactyl egg for ASA this afternoon. Trying to clean it up a bit and update it. If it works as expected, I'll try to submit it to the pterodactyl project to replace the egg which is basically copied from ASE.

[wise kindle]

You do. And seems the only way to learn is to work at WC and sign an agreement to never tell anyone about it. God forbid anyone knows how things work. Ffs they keep this shit more secretive than the CIA black ops programs.

[tall kiln]

Is anyone familar with ArkServerApi and how to get a basic default plugin that loads and unloads? If so, please dm me

[deft hound]

Does anyone have the cheat code to get the point in the club ark?

[humble thicket]

I tried to scroll up, bc I saw someone else ask, but is it normal to have the create a character screen pop up when joining the Ark club? I have it clustered and everything

[bleak ivy]

yes, you don't transfer your survivor to it. club survivors stay on at the club

[brave fossil]

I can't seem to have any cosmetics downloading on my nitrado server, I've put the command line (DoCustomCosmeticValidation) into my GameUserSettings.ini page , even set it to =true just in case but nothings happening, anyone got any solutions? I apologise for spamming, I'm just on the verge of pulling my hair out

[humble thicket]

Okay so the “rewards” can then be what uploaded to transfer back to your other character?

[bleak ivy]

yes, they just go to upload.

[humble thicket]

Thank you!

[humble thicket]

Someone above said it’s Cheat Hexagon 100 but I haven’t tested it myself

[urban pelican]

still no win10/gamepass update?

[fiery wadi]

Since there is no gamepass update yet, is there a way I can roll back to the older server version without losing the progress that I made until now on the new version? My friend wants to join but he is on the gamepass version

[native wave]

nitrado or self-hosted?

[fiery wadi]

Self hosted

[hardy river]

Yo anyone understand why club ark completel;y resets your unofficial server lmao
Like what the actual fuck
Thats fucking ridiculous

[native wave]

it's a completely different map not meant to be transferred to

[hardy river]

So it has to reset your entire server back to day 1?

[uncut talon]

what map name should I put to have the Club ark

[hardy river]

In order to play with it

lmao

[native wave]

new map, new save file

[hardy river]

Welp, th at cancels that for me lmao

[uncut talon]

to have it on my server

[hardy river]

It would reset your whole server back to day 1

Dont need to have it as a mapname, just need to have the mod installed on the server

bBig Sad, I was looking forward to aadding it to lmao

[native wave]

nitrado probably automatically changes the map name when you load the mod. It is a different map so you would need to change the map name

the map name is BobsMissions_WP

[hardy river]

I just dont get making it reset the server with a new map. 😦 I dont know many people with servers that would coompletely reset the server just to have it lmao

[native wave]

I haven't loaded the map yet, so that is my understanding from reading discord this morning. I plan to use that map to test my ASA pterodactyl egg changes

[hardy river]

Atleast for unofficial

Did it reset official servers?

I dont play official lmao, so I wouldn't know

[native wave]

different map always means new save file named for that map. if you go into your save folder you'll see this every time you change the map and start up the server

[hardy river]

I knowo I figured that, I just wish they implemented it differently

I love the CLUB ARK idea lmao

Thew only way I could do it on Nitrado is doing a cluster Im sure, But I dont wanna xD

Without resetting the server with a new map

[native wave]

more restrictions on nitrado. why I stopped using them. Go into your save files and see if there's a directory for the map you were using previously. It could still be there, not sure.

[hardy river]

I just backed up the server llmao to this mornning

[marsh elm]

Does every server have club ark ?

[native wave]

you have to setup another server for it.

[marsh elm]

Just a new map then ?

[native wave]

yes

[marsh elm]

Nice

[native wave]

BobsMissions_WP

[marsh elm]

Has anyone had problems with restart loop one of my servers is tripping out 🤣

[native wave]

cannot transfer to it, have to create a new character, but you can upload stuff from there to your account and download it on other servers

[marsh elm]

Normal fix isn’t working

[hardy river]

Do a backup see if that helps, otherwords I usually have to completely reset the server to fix restart loop sometimes llmao

[agile stone]

lol, well they did add the cmmand, they just never got around to enabling it.. Look for AddTokens in showmyadminmanager

[hardy river]

Dont let Nitrado touch it, lmao, they mess it up everyutime

[native wave]

yeah backup files whenever possible with nitrado, just in case

[agile stone]

Take the mod IDs out of your servers, it only goes on it's own map

[wise kindle]

Its an immersion mod. Thats what they do.

[hardy river]

What you mean?

[wise kindle]

Its a full immersion mod. Thats the only mod you use. Thats it.

[hardy river]

That doesnt help lmao

[uncut talon]

there is a command for this give points in the Club ark ?

[agile stone]

In order to run it on your cluster, you have to make a new map, install the mod there and with your cluster Id and then you can access it

[wise kindle]

sorry but thats all i got. One mod to rule them all.

[hardy river]

Do you use Nitrado?

[native wave]

and one mod to bind them to the map

[wise kindle]

Its works on Nitrado.

Map: Custom
Mapname: BobsMissions_WP

[hardy river]

Yes but if you add the mod to your server it coompletely resets it. Read Above

[agile stone]

Yeah, its because it's a standalone map on it's own, if you add it to your regular map command line all you are gonna do is reset to Day 1 and it will appear you have no builds or player files

[wise kindle]

yes cuz immersion mod lol. Its not meant to build, level or grow on. You login, play games and leave with a seperate character.

I have it running right now on Nitrado.

You just cant add it to your maps. You add it as a new server.

[hardy river]

So f I do a Cross Ark on Nitrado, I should be able to access it

[distant hearth]

in simple terms "ITS A STAND ALONE SERVER"

[hardy river]

I UNDERSTANMD THAT, I was seeing if anyone had nitrado and was able to Cross Ark for it

[distant hearth]

kk cool, snowdragon states that you can 🙂

[uncut talon]

there is a command for this give points in the Club ark ?

[native wave]

you can't transfer to it. you create a new character for it. you can upload stuff to your cluster and download to other servers, but the character remains (I think, don't think you can transfer off)

[wise kindle]

I'm told you just upload what you want to take home. I havent tried it yet, Im still waiting for the Win10 update.

[native wave]

gonna give it a try if I get the map up after my dentist appointment

[wise kindle]

its the same as the hexagon command

[distant hearth]

yea its like its own server, so aslong as set to allow upload from it for items an download on server moving the items too, you just move like normal, what it doesnt do is let char transfer ...presumably hard coded and deliberate

[agile stone]

There are limitations to what you can do crossark unfortunately, Club Ark has some of the same limitations that transfering has, so it's highly doubtful you'll be able to just connect to a central location on the Nitrado network to reach Club Ark, unless your clusterID is the same ID Club ark uses.

[distant hearth]

yea this 100%

[hardy river]

Does this mean you wouldl need 2 nnitrado servers?

[agile stone]

Yup

[native wave]

if you want to run them at the same time, yes

[hardy river]

Ahh I see, that makes more sense.

[distant hearth]

it isnt intended for unoffical really, or not how they have it set for officals
i cant think of any way to get around that either,
just how clusters work ...

[hardy river]

You would need to enable crosss ark on both and they would be in the same cluster, I see now

[hardy river]

Yeah Im big sad because I really liked the CLUB ARK idea for my onofficial with people all joining in. 😦

But thats alright, Thanks for the info all

[agile stone]

No problem and yeah I was a little bummed myself, I have a few acquaintances that run their own clusters on seperate clustered networks, and I was hoping we could somehow all meet on just one club ark, but you can't do that. Have to have your own closed network version running of it.

[distant hearth]

theres just no way to link between two cluster ids , so it just doesnt work ... maybe with some sort password sytstem but that just a whole can worms open to hacks/glitches

[wise kindle]

That would be a scarey thing to join ngl.

[distant hearth]

yea, and thinking about it, still wudnt work.. as no way to get back into the set cluster id

officall pve must just use all same cluster id, so works fine there

[agile stone]

In order to pull that off, you'd need to have people transfer in, capture their original entry IP, assign or use a identifier of some sort, and ClusterID, store it keep a temporary file somewhere, so that when they transfer back out, it sends a query to that file, then redirects the transfered items back to their server upon exiting or leaving Club Ark, I mean it could be done, but that's something only Wildcard could really change.

[wise kindle]

Would screw up your character as well, jumping from one map to another with different settings. Cuz opening that up would open up every cluster to it. Obviously password protections would help but still, after a couple times of jumping between different configurations you cant tell me your character wouldnt get messed up at some point. Or just lost cuz that host system has terrible lag or something. Or if I selfhosted and my power went out. That would be just lovely lol.

[distant hearth]

way beyond my knowledge, interesting to know it cud be done, wud be kinda cool to link a few unofficial clusters

[frigid vine]

JFYI:
If you join your own club ARK, your transmitter / uploaded inventory will be completely deleted! Make sure to make it empty before joinen the club.

@proven prawn this bug needs to be fixed quickly

[wise kindle]

Dont even get me started on the mod variations lol

[wise kindle]

#bug-reports is a good place to start for this one.

[distant hearth]

interestingly , probabkly be fine on self host, with the -usestore save system, i cant make it break char transfering,
cut power, drop net etc, it just puts the char back to the map it started on.
maybe if u got really bad timing an it saved as that happened, but that wud likely corrupt files an need a role back anyway

[wise kindle]

Makes for very angry players tho. No character for a couple days lol.

[agile stone]

Thats strange you have to transfer in to Club Ark using a transmitter? You shouldn't.. if it's in your network, just click the Club Ark button in the menu... my community doesn't have the option to transfer in through transmitters, I removed that ability so they didn't screw things up lol

[wise kindle]

you dont. he is saying your inventory in the ob is wiped

[distant hearth]

since we arent supposed have it, not suprising theres issues

[wise kindle]

yeah I think thats a safety mechanism cuz you know official. They find ways.

[agile stone]

What I am saying is, why use the obelisk at all? you don't need to.

The only thing you need that or a transmitter for is to retrieve the items you bring back.

[wise kindle]

Alot of people use them for short term storage. Its a thing.

[frigid vine]

I know and i have already done this. But here its important to mention it too for server owners to warn the community

[wise kindle]

gotcha, ty for posting this btw. I had no idea.

[distant hearth]

if it wasnt for someone mentioning it cud be done here, i think they tried it for fun to see if actually worked and was smart enough to work out map name.. none of us wud know it was even possible

just cross ya fingers they dont block it.... i doubt they wud but wc do crazy things

[wise kindle]

Its the main way ppl are bringing things back home so they kinda need to fix that or at least tell ppl first lol.

[distant hearth]

might be on official its fine? id imagine wud been alot complaints if it wasnt? havent seen any

[agile stone]

I'm fairly certain they'll be fine with it, I mean the unofficials get very little love as it is, and this was kinda nice, granted the rewards are a little meh, so lets hope they allow us to make modifications in the Dev Kit. Since we're unofficials, we have some added benefits of mods, better rates, and things that official doesn't get privvy to. So being able to impact what rewards are in the Club ark, change things around a bit, add custom rewards, would be nice.

[wise kindle]

oh could be. They only have a 24 hour timer on the officials so it kinda makes sense. Tho I can see ppl uploading stuff then jumping over and being very upset.

[distant hearth]

im sure we all find out soon if that is the case, the discord will go crazy with complaints

[wise kindle]

Since it seems to be taking the commands from the hexagon shop, I'm wondering if you can edit that to a certain extent.
Tho the way its setup right now by default is pretty ok imo.

[distant hearth]

there is a way to increase hexagon rewards in ase, cant rem the code, but id bet it works

[wise kindle]

Doesnt it start you with a certain amount as well?

I forget. That was a long time ago lol.

[distant hearth]

honestly dont know, just know it can be done as when official rates boost they was boosting the hexagon rewards

[wise kindle]

I'll have to look it up. We are a bit boosted but not terribly. Would be nice to match that boost there.

[distant hearth]

game user setting ini
BaseHexagonRewardMultiplier=1.0
or
game.ini
HexagonRewardMultiplier=1.0

pulled from wiki, not sure which works, shows the latter in dynamic config under game ini , so might be both worked on ase...
be suprised if they dont on asa

[ashen otter]

what does someone need to do to get custom cosmetics(krazy cosmetics mod) working on a server, i installed it client side but they dont show up, what settings do i need server side?

[distant hearth]

presume higher increases , but its ark so test lolz

theres also ,
Game.ini
HexagonCostMultiplier=1.0

presume lower number lowers cost , but again test lolz

[agile stone]

To be fair, I'd have been just thrilled to have the ability enable and use the hexagon shop in ASA, rather tha relying on mods to have a shop in the first place for unofficial hehe.

[hard wave]

does the power rangers mod work on unofficial?

[agile stone]

I would assume it does, I'm actually looking to disable it on our cluster tho, it doesn't fit the theme we're going for at all. I need to read through the stuff Zen Rowe posted last night and then figure it all out.

[distant hearth]

im not smart enough to figure this jargon out, but basically there isnt a black list for cosmetic mods, so u wud need to whitelist the ones that you want to work, but now need to do all this shite .
Enable Custom Cosmetics Validation on Unofficial Servers

https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/forums/topic/736592-enable-custom-cosmetics-validation-on-unofficial/

[agile stone]

Yeah I'm reading through it on another monitor atm, so basically turn on validation first which if I understand, then uses the whitelist to load any cosmetic mods you may want, then I guess you simply remove the power rangers mod or whatever mod you don't want from that list and all should be good.

[distant hearth]

the way i understand it, u add any mod you want to work, leave off the ones u dont, so yea , its kinda confusing to me, so good luck

the validation thing is so the server downloads cosmetic mods in background when playing , so others see them if they dont have it downloaded, i think ...

[agile stone]

Hmm if that's the case, if we don't add the mod to the mod list then it shouldn't work, which would be simple?

[wise kindle]

It triggers updates but you have to tell it when a mod needs update… or something I dunno. They lost me ages ago on that.

[neon portal]

If you setup Club Ark in a Nitrado cluster. Do you have to go using the transmitter? I dont see anything in the club ark menu

[wise kindle]

No you join and create a new character

[bleak ivy]

its the club ark menu or just join from the server browser.

you don't transfer to it

[agile stone]

Not in the traditional sense no, you have to have a new server running and hooked into your clusterID, make sure you turn off the NoTransferFromFiltering or whatever it is so people can't just use a transmitter to try and go to it, they should simply have to hit escape, click Club Ark button, and then find your uniquely named Club Ark server and join it.

[main gyro]

Anyone know a fix for game crashing when installing mods and the mods downloading under 'Broken file'? Had this for 6 days now and can't play on my server. I've uninstalled the game 4 times and uninstalled all mods too.

[neon portal]

all I have to do is install the mod onto it right? Because the server is live but I cant see it

[agile stone]

Yep just that singular mod ID goes in your mod list, no rates or anything like that are necessary. Make sure you've got your clusterID in your command line arguments tho, and make sure you aren't allowing direct transfers into it with the NoTransferFrom Filtering thing, I'd copy/paste a command line but for whatever reason they disabled the ability to send formatted text in this channel.

[bleak ivy]

you need to set the map too

[neon portal]

Custom name?

[bleak ivy]

BobsMissions_WP

[agile stone]

BobsMissions_WP

[neon portal]

Ty for all the help. Making the noob life easier xD

[bleak ivy]

nooo, does getting knocked away from a obelisk solf-lock your game when downloading stuff 😂

[hard wave]

so does the server owner need to buy the mod too or just add the command line for it to show up for the players that did buyt it?

[bleak ivy]

hope it doesn't kill my phoenix

[bleak ivy]

servers do not own anything.

[hard wave]

wut?

[agile stone]

Huh? He's asking if Server Owners (the people who own the hardware that their unofficials run on) need to install the Power Rangers Mod on each server in order for the community to use it, or if we leave it out of our Mod list, will it be inaccessible to the community.

[bleak ivy]

they asked if server owners need to buy the mod. they don't.

[hard wave]

so will the cosmetics just show up in the inventory once your in the unofficial server?

[lucid solstice]

0 ping problem, I forget the fix for it 😅

[agile stone]

I should probably go kill myself and check lmao here comes a billion skins 😄

[bleak ivy]

it'll show up in the cosmetic menu.
there are some server stuff for the auto-download to work tho.

I have no idea what you need to do in the whitelist anymore lol.
but servers need -DoCustomCosmeticValidation in the commandline (nitrado will need to add a button)

its something about having to choose which update to download I think. (the whitelist)

[hard wave]

I think it's only that code for the command line but where exactly does it go?

"For servers that rely on the official cosmetic whitelists that is all that is necessary."

[bleak ivy]

if its a nitrado server, wait until they add a button.
if its self-host, in the bat file where the other - settings are.

[bleak ivy]

yeah, if you don't change the whitelist you just need to add that commandline.

[hard wave]

Cool and thanks for the info

[agile stone]

Is the name of the whitelist file something we have to name or is it by default named something in the server directory? I don't see anything to indicate there is a whitelist and no whitelist URL in the gus.ini for my servers lol

[ashen stratus]

Hey does anyone have any ideas?

We have a player who cannot join our Svart server he keeps timing out. Made a new char same issue. Uninstalled the game fully reinstalled it. same issues. deleted all his mods and redownloaded them same issue

[hard wave]

try clearing cache files and rebuilding database

[ashen stratus]

Hes on PS5 how would he go about that?

[distant hearth]

you can try deleting there .arkprofile, seems like it got corrupt , u will need to know there eosid an match it to the .arkprofile

[jaunty vortex]

the advantage of the alternate save method is no arkprofile

[hard wave]

hold power button till it beeps 2 times scroll down to clear/rebuild option

[ashen stratus]

Ill try that now 🙂

[hard wave]

make sure the console is completly off not rest mode

[ashen stratus]

Thnak you sir!

[main gyro]

Anyone know a fix for game crashing when installing mods and the mods downloading under 'Broken file'? Had this for 6 days now and can't play on my server. I've uninstalled the game 4 times and uninstalled all mods too.

[hard wave]

another thing is they might need to delete ark game save data. If they have single player stuff they can upload to the cloud and redownload later.

[agile stone]

Are you on steam? The first thing that immediately pops up in my head is a fragmented/broken file probably means you need to verify the integrity of the files.

[main gyro]

Yes im on steam. theres 2/14 mods i can't download from the server and whenever i do try to it either; Gets stuck at 99%, cancels its self, downloads but states broken file or it crashes my game

[foggy plinth]

So how does Club Ark Work on Unofficial?

[frigid vine]

Any ideas howto get a bag which stucks inside the mesh (in a cave)?
Ghost does not help

[agile stone]

Hmmmm... are you sure you have the drive space? that's really strange.

[agile stone]

Are you using any death recovery mods? Awesome teleporters? etc? the AP death recovery mod?

[novel wren]

Hey, I am trying to update my steamCMD server but it wont update past 46.4, so I cant join. Any ideas?

[frigid vine]

No, vanilla

[main gyro]

my drivers up to date and my SSD has 300GB left. I'm reinstalling now but if it doesn't work, ill verify game files because i tried it before and managed to download one but not the other.

[agile stone]

Not sure if a whip will do it for packs.. I'd say you've probably lost whatever was in the pack at this point.

[agile stone]

I mean I'm a system builder, so I'm immediately gonna go hardware first, if you've got the space, and it's still not downloading, there's only a few things it could possibly be on that end, your SSD could be going bad, and is throwing errors while trying to write to the ssd, but there are two sides to that coin, could be network related, could be a shoddy connection, or it could in the least case scenario be something software related.

[frigid vine]

Sadly not. Okay np.

[agile stone]

Sometimes when retrieving a meshed pack, you can fiddle with it for quite a long time before it registers you can access it while ghosting into mesh, you could keep trying, but I'd highly recommend a death recovering mod of some sort, because it happens all too often and it sucks when you lose your gear or dinos you were carrying.

[distant hearth]

what batch file you using to update it ?
shud look like this but with your file paths,
start C:\SteamCMD\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir "C:\Arkserver1" +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate +quit

you cant join becuase client an server major versions need to match v47.xxxx

[novel wren]

call SteamCMD/steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir ..\TheIslandServer\ +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate +quit

[distant hearth]

what happens when you run it ? im not familiar with using call or that format of file path, its linux?

nvm linux use opposite slash

[novel wren]

@distant hearth No its on windows, I just tried call because I saw it on a forum somewhere as something to try.

it did the same when I used start.

[distant hearth]

try my version just point , this part where your stmcmd is installed ,
C:\SteamCMD\steamcmd.exe
then the server install location folder to where yours is , +force_install_dir "C:\Arkserver1"

yours im not sure where it installs, force install command will check for a folder in that location, make one an install server if it not there, or update a server in that location if it there

[novel wren]

my server filepath is C:\Server Hosting\NewIslandServer, and steamCMD is c:\Server Hosting/SteamCMD

[distant hearth]

so u can edit mine an make it work 🙂

start c:\Server Hosting\SteamCMD\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir "C:\Server Hosting\NewIslandServer" +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate +quit

ffs sry the back slashes are wrong, 1 sec

if that doesnt work change the folder name of "server hosting" to , serverhosting
it might not like that space in th file name

side note, i never did figure out why validate doesnt need the + in front, anyone know ?

[native wave]

start "C:\Server Hosting\SteamCMD\steamcmd.exe" +force_install_dir "C:\Server Hosting\NewIslandServer" +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate +quit

[novel wren]

It says [0%] Checking for availiable updates and then just immediately says Verifying installation.

[native wave]

need quotes around any path with a space in the name

[novel wren]

I just removed the space.

[native wave]

so this:
start C:\ServerHosting\SteamCMD\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir C:\ServerHosting\NewIslandServer +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate +quit
?

[distant hearth]

it wont work like that for me on that particular part with quotes dont ask me why , throws a error about not finding it .. maybe i just did it wrong

[novel wren]

That is my exact bat file, but it still wont update past 46.4

[distant hearth]

double check your file paths, it has be not quite right, what exactly happens when u run it ?

[novel wren]

this: Redirecting stderr to 'C:\ServerHosting\SteamCMD\logs\stderr.txt'
Logging directory: 'C:\ServerHosting\SteamCMD/logs'
[ 0%] Checking for available updates...

[distant hearth]

file path must be wrong, it has installed it to somewhere an thinks its uptodate

so then just verifys the files

[novel wren]

Anything I can do? or just reinstall the server into a new location.?

Whoops found it the file path was wrong, I'm just stupid, sorry.

[distant hearth]

make the file path right,
stmcmd is verifying an install somewhere , so it thinks the server is installed and updated

[novel wren]

Yeah it just started at 47.2, thanks for the help!

[distant hearth]

ignore me, just ran it an saw that lol

[native wave]

giving my new pterodactyl egg changes a try on the club Ark map

[ashen pulsar]

I cannot launch the ark club on my cluster, the map does not launch, any solutions?

[slow crane]

Same

[distant hearth]

you have a seperate server install for it ? set with same clusterid

[wise kindle]

Nitrado or selfhost?

map: Custom
mapname: BobsMissions_WP

It is a stand alone mod, so use a new map and its the only mod that you add to the server.

[ashen pulsar]

nitrado, and yes the good cluster idea, but not the right map name thank you for your advice I will try again

[upbeat beacon]

How do we set up the custom cosmetics whitelist if we are using Nitrado? Do I put things in the ini files or basically I need a translation of the post that was put out explaining it

[lucid solstice]

I have my club ark launched, but my cluster can't find it 😭

[bleak ivy]

keep refreshing mine took a bit after it loaded to appear.

[lucid solstice]

Found it, thanks

[wise kindle]

I dont think anyone has this fully figured out yet tbh.

[upbeat beacon]

Dang, I was asking in the Nitrado server as well they said something about engine.ini but also said it could break the server if it was done wrong so I am lost 🙃

[ashen pulsar]

thank you, I changed the name of the map, I can find it now!

[humble thicket]

anyone able to DL rewards they earned from club ark? i see them go in the upload inventory but they're not there once i visit the obelisk

[distant hearth]

nitrado are gonna need to add a button far as i can tell, the command to turn on the downloading cosmetics on the fly needs adding to server start batch file .
then if using a custom whitelist of cosmetic mods u got more hoops to jump .

[wise kindle]

Just note that you cant transfer, so your players have to create a new character for the map and leave it there. You should be able to transfer winnings off the map via upload tho.

[wise kindle]

try doing a manual text search for them

sounds dumb but its WC and sometimes it just glitches visually and searching makes the game show you what you have

[distant hearth]

yea lol, sometimes just uploading like a stone or thatch makes them show again too

[wise kindle]

they just TODAY added a drop down for the Pride colors 🤦‍♀️

Like BRO WHY

[native wave]

took them 18 days

[wise kindle]

ridiculous

[native wave]

exactly

[distant hearth]

i mean its only took them two weeks , pretty impressive for slowtrado

[uncut talon]

hello, I put a server with the club ark on my cluster, but impossible to see it, is this normal?

[native wave]

truth

[wise kindle]

you log into it with a new character and upload winnings. So you likely wont see the map manually. You go to it via the menu.

[upbeat beacon]

So does this just mean we are waiting for Nitrado?

[wise kindle]

yes and no. We dont really understand the new process so until Nitrado adds options OR WC tells us more info we wait I guess.

[distant hearth]

if ure whitelisting cosmetic mods yes i wud think so , if ure on offical list of them i have no idea, im not even sure how all that stuff works tbh

for some reason adding the whitelist line with just the words "URL" seems to make them use official whitelist, i dunno why,

[uncut talon]

so from my server on the center, by going to the pause menu and clicking on "club ark" is it normal that I don't see it? it does not make sense

[distant hearth]

can only think its dfaulting to it, but then in theory it wud work without the line, which it dont seem too...
we all just mushrooms,```kept in the dark and fed shit````

[uncut talon]

so by connecting with another character on the club, I could still get the rewards with my character on center? character who is not the same as on the club?

[distant hearth]

yes aslong as your cluster allows upload an download of items, you just upload items on club server, download the items with the other char on server play on

[uncut talon]

I do have rewards on my ark club, but they are not in my transmitter on The center

[bleak ivy]

make sure your cluster is set up correctly even for the club ark server.

[uncut talon]

yes it is well configured, I checked 4 times

[bleak ivy]

not sure, I just used the exact same settings as my normal servers except the map and mods to club ark.

[distant hearth]

i havent tested anything on it enough to know, got a spare hour so literally just firing it up now to play about with

[uncut talon]

Same

[wise kindle]

You tried searching your ob? Like text based search for one of the uploaded items?

There is a well known visability glitch that hides everything till you "kick it" by searching for items OR by uploading something into the ob. Then it says OH YEAH you had this stuff in there too.

[native wave]

did not turn out how I expected....apparently 1==0==1...or something

[shell ice]

if I put a premium mod on my server will everyone on the server also have to buy it?

[distant hearth]

yes

[foggy plinth]

Anyone have a idea how to do the ClubArk thing?

[distant hearth]

oh unless its the cosmetic power ranger thing mod, thats cosmetic

[foggy plinth]

Will be changed in Summer thank god

[distant hearth]

so for unoffical , ypou can make/rent another server an run it from that on same cluseterid as ur eown server/s
its basically its own custom map

[foggy plinth]

So basically I make another server and put the Club ark map on it and then link it to my cluster and that's it?

[bleak ivy]

yeah

club ark map and mod

[distant hearth]

yep, you need to enable upload an download items , if u want transfer stuff from it , like normal , but essentially just that

[bleak ivy]

I just copied my normal settings except the name, map, and mod.

[foggy plinth]

Will do so!

I'm solo, is it even worth it for me?

[distant hearth]

yea did same wehn i tried it see if works, i also left aload mods in the commandlimne(there jeust test servers) , booted up with the other mods fine

[bleak ivy]

besides duel I think they are all possible solo. train may be hard tho

[bleak ivy]

I just removed all the other mods. saw no point in keeping them

just gonna make loading slower

[foggy plinth]

Alright!

I will do the map without any mods there isn't even a purpose for mods right?

[bleak ivy]

just the club ark mod

[distant hearth]

yep for sure, was just i was testing it, was literally right after someone in here said was possible so i just added it to see lolz

[native wave]

yeah my first try at the club server I removed all my normal mods and added the club mod, nothing else

right now I'm more testing the egg than the server for pterodactyl

[distant hearth]

i copy pasted a bat file, renamed it , added that mod an boom it worked, i was like oooo this has pontential

[bleak ivy]

yeah, not requiring anything special besides the mod and map is so nice.

[distant hearth]

been nicer if wildcard told us it was possible lolz.. but ho hum, it can work so i imagine great for big clusters

[bleak ivy]

tbf, we found out before most of us updated 😂

[native wave]

@bleak ivy can you pin the above message?

the map name part

[shell ice]

so if u put the power rangers on my server will everyone playing have to also buy it or just not be able to use it?

[bleak ivy]

none of the other map names are pinned

[distant hearth]

all the other map names were documented by wc

[foggy plinth]

No the Power Range thing works different then normal mods

[bleak ivy]

I'd more point towards the wiki lol.

[distant hearth]

good point i havent checked to see if it updated

[bleak ivy]

where did they even give centers?

[foggy plinth]

I didn't find anything there

[native wave]

I think people just figured it out

[bleak ivy]

yeah, they are just the old map names with _WP at the end

center isn't even on the wiki yet.

[bleak ivy]

club ark isn't on the wiki at all yet kinda surprised lol.

[foggy plinth]

yep me too

[native wave]

check again 😛

[bleak ivy]

wow

made me a liar.

[distant hearth]

the centre name was in a link to ark forum thing in the annoucuments

No one has added the Club Ark map to the wiki yet it appears

hmm

[distant hearth]

but yea, im kinda wonder why they didnt add this one, makes no sense...
nitrado sell a load more servers as its a stand alone server

[bleak ivy]

probably just related to it acting weird.

[distant hearth]

maybe they dint think we be interested... or forgot...or didnt know it cud work

[bleak ivy]

advertised only for officials too.

[native wave]

wiki is just maintained by the community. so no one has gotten around to making a page for it yet

[bleak ivy]

I know that but other stuff gets added way in advance. guess it was only announced friday

[native wave]

and some stuff lags behind. I just got around to adding all the Dear Jane coords to the page for it

[distant hearth]

the thing is , they cant organise a piss up in a brewery , so likely never know which of the 3 above i stated is true lolz..
i love ark, the way they deal with unofficials an updates is just so frustrating

one of my todos is separate out the player whitelist instructrions into it's own linkable section

24hr and still no win10/gamepass update.. same shit, different ark!!

[steady kettle]

I crashed, then when I opened my game back up, it says "Login Failure, Not logged in." I also notice that it says Player1 in the top left instead of my steam name. Anyone have any idea how to fix this? I've already restarted my computer, and I've verified game files.

Welp... I'm assuming the #announcements has something to do with it XD

[compact rain]

Is the crash for unofficial also?

My server hasn’t appeared for three months

[distant hearth]

if eos goes down, everything go down, all player data and server listsings passes through eos

[distant hearth]

thats a differnt issue, if it been play up 3 month

[steady kettle]

Fixed

[heavy jay]

so i have an issue with transferring servers on my cluster. I can transfer from se to the center but can only transfer from the island to se i have all cluster ids the same cant seem to figure this out

[steady kettle]

Now I'm stuck on "Purchase Required". WTF Wild Card.

[distant hearth]

check the filter settings, seems me like one is prob wrong , all server need these set in gus.ini to allow transfers of everything..

does anyone know how ark ase server clusters work as im having trouble with gett my severs to show up on transfer?

[distant hearth]

https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/forums/topic/87419-guide-cluster-setup/

[heavy jay]

would that also be preventing it from showing up on the transfer list it doesnt show at all

i will check if thay are set correct thank you

[rugged tendon]

Whelp. Try to join a server and get the page that has empty mods and saying

• Total Mods - 666
• Mods to download- 666

And so forth

[distant hearth]

if u cant see a server in the obelisk/transmitter when trying transfer, the cluster id is wrong or the server isnt connecting to internet properly in my experience

[rare mango]

i already tried everything on that page but my other server still isnt showing up

[distant hearth]

same aplies as i replied above

[rare mango]

ok

[heavy jay]

ohh ok maybe that could be it, also the island is the only server that is a basic slot server not sure if that limits how many maps i can transfer too

[distant hearth]

slots dont mattger, they just how many players the server provider thinks its capable of having on at one time...

[heavy jay]

ok awesome will double check all my settings thanks for the help

[distant hearth]

all maps in the cluster must use the same cluster id, then they shud be visible in transmitter/ob

they also need to be with the same provider if renting

[heavy jay]

yeah they all were added in my services and i have the same id for all can transfer between all but just not between two certain maps so it takes us an extra transfer to reach the center lmao

[distant hearth]

yea thats odd, its like that one has downloads blocked is all i can think tbh, double check for duplicate lines in ini

[heavy jay]

will do thx 🙂

[distant hearth]

no prob, happens more often than u think, i copy past ini to .txt file then use ctrl f to search it an make sure no duplicates of lines that might cause issues

[bleak ivy]

I just use visual studio and it shows if you have duplicates

[distant hearth]

i dont even know what that is haha , to clever for me hehe, everyone has notepad on pc an its free so. i use that

[bleak ivy]

thought that was the issue when EOS was down.

[distant hearth]

so i google it an im sure its easy for you guys, looks complicated to me compared to just using notepad lolz.

[bleak ivy]

you can ignore 90% of it, and just open files.

[native wave]

at it's basic level it's notepad. it has great extendability though....very flexible

[bleak ivy]

all that extra stuff is for coding. its a code editor afterall.
I just love the colors and it telling me I have duplicates.

also it not being the blinding white that is notepad.

[native wave]

like I'm editing the pterodactyl egg in it....can hook it up to github and commit stuff

[distant hearth]

id prob figure it out as im stubborn that way an can read/understand very basic code, but not easy to explain to the average joe with a ark server they cant transfer too coz they duplicated a line in nitrado

[distant hearth]

im sold

[native wave]

❤️ DARK MODE❤️

[bleak ivy]

yeah, I wouldn't suggest using it to somebody just editing their server. It just makes reading so much easier for me.

if somebody complains about notepad then I would suggest it tho 😂

[distant hearth]

i prob check half a dozen inis from this discord a week, im getting an figuring it out just so i dont get the white lolz, i run everything i can in dark mode if i know how

[bleak ivy]

I recommend telling windows to open .ini files in it as its default app. how you do that I can't remember lol.

its in the properties

[steady kettle]

Cool now it's broken again

[native wave]

steam down apparently

or was

[distant hearth]

steam does it weekly , although i thought it was on wednesday's but honestly i barely ever know what day it is, all same to me

[bleak ivy]

its Tuesday

[native wave]

taco tuesday...and I need to make dinner

🌮

[lucid solstice]

Can vsc read arkprofile files?

[distant hearth]

looking at them in notepad , wud seem there encrypted so i doubt it, unless someone made some sort progra,/plugin type thing ro decode it

[lucid solstice]

Yeah, I want to see what it has in it, but nothing I have done can break the encryption 😅

[clever trail]

Why is this red in my server console "got less mods details from server than client"

[lunar cloud]

The arkprofile contents are not encrypted, but just game binary data that the program writes and and can deserialize into objects it understands
They could have used json , but that would be human friendly and this is not intended for humans to make changes i guess 😄

[bleak ivy]

it just shows a bunch of random characters for me lol.

[bleak ivy]

is binary not technically encrypted? since you need a key.

[lucid solstice]

Not technically, just a different data format

[lucid solstice]

Do you know of a way to parse it in python or something?

[dawn coral]

Hi what dose the command -DoCustomCosmeticValidation do dose enable the cc to auto download

[celest halo]

check your dms lmao

[bleak ivy]

or that

thats an arkprofile

[bronze gull]

Holy 😭 what am
I looking at

[lucid solstice]

Your character

[lunar cloud]

no its not encrypted.. For encryption you are right, you need a key, but the content will be completely unreadable
if you look at arks binary data there are still many readable elements.
If you write a progam in C\ C#\ C++ \Python or Go, you can read data into classes\structs and once you write that to a file it would look similar.
It's just bytes \ data representing classes or objects in code

[bleak ivy]

if you need something to read it wouldn't that still be encrypted? even if its not a special one. seeing how you can't just open it as binary.

[lucid solstice]

Hmm, I'll have to look through that. I don't really like downloading people's github code without reading through the whole thing first

[distant hearth]

its enough to figure out whats there, i guess emcrypted was kinda the wrong word as u wudnt see any of it then...
like u see it has player char data, body size etcetc, player notes collected,shit like that

[bleak ivy]

I wonder what this means 😂

[lucid solstice]

Yeah, but generally to do that you have to know the file structure of the thing you are parsing

[lunar cloud]

you'd have to reverse engineer it to come up with the game code, and then consume it. its quite tricky 😄

[distant hearth]

probably that ure male, x height , have short hair, no beard, longs arms etx etx lolz

[bleak ivy]

I have found a word. Vulture_Character_C_ 😂

there are _. it just removed them

[frail ferry]

can unoficials use ark club?

[bleak ivy]

yes, but each cluster needs their own. its its own server.

[frail ferry]

so like i download mod and i can customize it?

[dawn coral]

Anyone know how to set cc to auto download in the background on my server

[frail ferry]

ahhh i see

[distant hearth]

u can almost figure it out in note pad, im sure smart people canactually read it if they know exact what it means

oh i think it contains data on shit u upload into obs too, kinda weird, summit to do with the way it can move it from single player across to another server thats not blocked

[frail ferry]

like whole new server

[bleak ivy]

there was an old program early in ASE that could read and even edit them.

oops. I've been reading the .ark file 😂 thats why it says vulture and ant

wow, the .arkprofile is so much more readable.

not even lying, way more words then .ark

[celest halo]

theres one for ASA also

[bleak ivy]

I have only found one for .ark files not .arkprofiles

[distant hearth]

you will find some creature data in the .arkprofile if u have anything uploaded to an ob in single player, though not sure about if on a server , maybe as i once moved stuff from a server to singleplayer.
so the data has to be stored locally

[bleak ivy]

I have found out. my scorched earth survivor has heatstroke 😂

[distant hearth]

now to manipulate the file an relieve heat stroke, prob easier log in an drink ice water though lolz

[bleak ivy]

except its broken in ASA.

hasn't worked for me since SE launched

[bleak ivy]

ark data had its own file in ASE they probably saved stuff in both tho.

[wise kindle]

So, anyone datamined the Club yet? Playing the games doesnt give points BUT you get points from the random dodo pickup mechanic.
You can add points with the AddHexagons command.
But so far we cant earn points by winning the games.
Anyone found out how to enable this?

[distant hearth]

lmapo that figures, i havent played since island, kinda waiting on ab an winter when im not so busy

[bleak ivy]

did you enable the mod as well?

[wise kindle]

Ah, im playing it. What other steps are needed?

[bleak ivy]

there is a mod as well as the map.

[wise kindle]

It gives baby rhynios too lol

[frail ferry]

so we buy new nitrado map, then put mod on that map and it becomes the hub?

[wise kindle]

Oh yes of course. It wont work without both lol.

[wise kindle]

Yep

[bleak ivy]

and make sure its clustered to yours yeah.

[wise kindle]

Yes we can buy things and download winnings.
Its the earning prizes that appears busted.

[bleak ivy]

no idea then. the one thing I didn't test was winning a mini-game because I'm bad 😂

[dawn coral]

Anyone know how to enable cc to auto download in the background

[distant hearth]

not exactly, if u want it on your cluster , buy server, install mod an change it to that map with your cluster id , but it will only be for your cluster no one else

[wise kindle]

So far thats the one thing that doesnt work. Well it works, it just doesn’t give points.

[bleak ivy]

its not working for consoles right now. its only fixed on steam.

[distant hearth]

hmm thats annoiying if just that part aint working, since rest does

[dawn coral]

Ok so when it fixed is there a command I need to add or is it auto

[lucid solstice]

I did test that, on all but the duels and the worked for me

[bleak ivy]

there is some stuff I don't understand in https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/forums/topic/736592-enable-custom-cosmetics-validation-on-unofficial/

[distant hearth]

duels cud be amazing if it worked like that old ase mod where you log into server an 1v1 people earn points etc , cant rem its name, was fun though

[bleak ivy]

gotta whitelist versions of the mod or something if you use the official whitelist then its just a single command line setting but nitrado will need to wait until they add it (I don't have nitrado so can't check if its there already)

[wise kindle]

Works on official so im guessing its a bug OR its a setting we dont know about yet.

[wise kindle]

Yeah you can duel in this too

[distant hearth]

nice, i cant rem the mod name on ase, but it was basically like a pvp aena , u went , fought players, if u won got points an cud upograde, weapons, armour stats , etc. was popular for a while an died out

if it was part of a wider system that allowed going to play mini games, earn stuff, etc etc as it seems be... has huge potential for bigger clusters

[lucid solstice]

Mts arena

[distant hearth]

thats the one, it was fun

[lucid solstice]

I was a fan of that one too

[distant hearth]

as a predominatly pve player, made a nice change if we wasnt running any pvp events on cluster

[chilly fox]

If you want to host a server and have fewer and fewer issues, you're better off forgetting nitrado exists

[bleak ivy]

gotta self-host yeah.

[native wave]

^ ^^^^

[bleak ivy]

lol

[native wave]

😆

[robust nymph]

No numbers needed. Just the work url

[feral fractal]

You have to buy a new server to add club ark ?

[bleak ivy]

for nitrado yes. it requires its own server.

[feral fractal]

Thx

[compact rain]

What do you mean?

[fading hound]

I need help i made a nitrano server tryed to use admin comand after enabling them but when i try it just dus nothing?

[clear pebble]

So to be clear the commandline cannot be added to either config. What if we have a whitelist?

How are we able to run a printlog server command for the CRC if we don't have Steam?

I'm sorry... I read earlier posts now... I guess it will have to develop

[peak sapphire]

If you have commands logged in chat you can at least see if it’s worked or not

[viral island]

is it possible to raise the max player level with ini files like it was on ASE?

[peak sapphire]

I tried a few weeks ago and failed. I had an exact copy from ASE so unless something has changed on ASA, hopefully someone can help us out because I’d like to know too.

[native wave]

failed getting my Club Ark server joinable. The map doesn't load up like my other servers. rcon authentication fails and the server never registers as online. I tried joining mine when I saw it online, but only get lost connection to host. In the log I get the normal connection string but it immediately fails with this
[2024.06.19-02.41.26:043][305]2024.06.19_02.41.26: Thor [UniqueNetId: Platform:None] left this ARK!

Normally the UniqueNetId would be filled in with my EOS ID on any other server of mine.

[glass imp]

How can I make the body decomposition longer on Nitrado?

Like when somebody dies they have longer to get their body before it despawns

[devout rampart]

Hi @proven prawn , hi @zealous aurora , i have a couple of question about Club ARK, if you can answer me would be much apprecciated:

• i saw today a "Club ARK" update, do i need to update only that map or do i need to trigger update on all maps?
• update for the map (not the mod) are server side like other normal maps (using SteamCMD to update) or pushed dinamycally via Epic network?
• have you planned to add some modifiers to rewards and difficulty, like the one we put in GUS.ini (old hexagon multiplier, etc..)
• i had to redo the whole backup process due the save folder "bobsmissions" not having "_WP" attached to the name. Will be modified in future or stay as it is?
  Thanks for the future reply.

[jaunty vortex]

You do know those guys have notifications turned off and never post, other than in announcements or patch notes?

[worldly mantle]

Can the ascension of the Svartalheim map be done?

[devout rampart]

well i know, but yesterday dollie replied to a tribe mate tag on general, so, let's hope for the best.

[desert crown]

hello I just got a Nitrado server and when I press quick connect in the browser for pc it says latency failed and I cannot join

[wintry basin]

Is there a way to copy and paste official small tribes server settings to my own server? Without individually changing settings?

[calm pecan]

i set up my own new dedicated server, added Club ARK mod and clustered it. when i try to join the server via ESC i get the message "cant connect". anyone can Help me?

[vital linden]

Anyone know why the message "ARK Items Transfers Disabled" would appear on Club ARK when all the Prevent config lines are set to false?

[celest halo]

Did you set the right map name for it

[calm pecan]

BobsMissions_WP

[onyx gale]

So this is interesting. Nitrado keeps changing the Cluster ID on me, making some of my maps uncluster. I've never seen anything like this before 🤣

[celest halo]

That looks right, I haven't added it to my cluster yet so not sure on the can't connect part

[calm pecan]

ok, i will start the server out of cluster and check again

[onyx gale]

If anyone else is having clustering issues, check your cluster ids! I went into Nitrado and found 3 of my 5 were changed. I restarted the servers, all on the same id, and three changed to another new id again on their own.

I shut them down a 3rd time, changed the ids again, started them up all individually with no restarts happening at the same time, and it retained the ids successfully. Super odd.

[celest halo]

Got to love nitrado 🤣

[mellow nymph]

anyone having a weird new issues of their inventory crafting 100s of random shit and crashing out on log? New things ive never had before. Pulled down the servers and restarted

seems to be specifically on scorched earth?

[runic panther]

Anyone else having issues transferring their characters? Some of my players can’t transfer all they get is “upload character”

[heavy bough]

Same issue on our cluster

[native zealot]

Has anyone else's character disappeared?
Server disconnected for no reason, then server rollback a few days and then the character was gone because he had traveled from The Island shortly before. Now non-existent on both maps and cannot be downloaded.

Anyone have any idea what could help to get the character back?

[bleak horizon]

anyone having issues with members being unable to transfer maps?

[runic panther]

Sounds like your character is gone completely. If you can’t download it then no you can’t get it back

[celest halo]

If you have backups you should be able to take it from one of them

[native wave]

Dollie replies to what she sees in chat when she's looking at chat generally. She gets far too many people tagging her to keep notifications on. The best you can really hope for is that she notices your highlighted message scroll past as she's looking at chat, and that's basically only in general chat when she dips in and out.
Answers to your questions:
-Club ARK is both a new map in the client and server builds (a major update which will disrupt clients ability to connect if on a different major version) as well as a new mod on curseforge (project id 1005639)
-Update is done via update of both the client and server, nothing about Club ARK would be pushed dynamically via Epic, that would only be custom cosmetics such as the power rangers skins recently added.
-from what I've read in this chat the old hexagon command works in Club Ark to reward tokens
-Noticed this myself, I highly doubt they will be changing that.
(if you're looking at this and wondering what the questions were, click the message I replied to and scroll up a little bit)

[native zealot]

We wanna try this, thank you 😃👍

[celest halo]

That player files are just numbers so it can be a pain finding the right person's file in the backup, most of the time it's just easier to roll the server back to one of them if they not that old so people don't lose that much stuff they did since the last one was made

[native wave]

the profiles use the EOS ID

[celest halo]

I know but for some it's a pain trying to figure out what people's eos id is

[native wave]

To get your EOS ID:
Login to a single player game.
Bring up the console and type "ListPlayers"
The EOS ID is that long string of characters

[native zealot]

We play on the PS5 and do not see this due to Sony regulations.
Therefore, we cannot simply identify one player, even if we are only 10 players

[native wave]

you'd need to be on a pc and connect to the server you are getting files from....thanks to sony

[mint wasp]

Is anyone else using the DiscordChat plugin on their unofficial servers? If so, has the chat from the game stopped flowing into Discord for you after this latest wildcard update?

[onyx gale]

#unofficial-setup-help message

[native zealot]

Since it's almost impossible to get a character back on the console, I'll probably have to make a new one in the end.....thanks to the stable servers 🙄

[runic panther]

So we were able to transfer after we re started our servers. I’d pull your servers and restart them and see if it works for yous all

[fleet ermine]

If just on console only/nitrado you can't get it unfortunately.
Will be a case of admin command them back to current state.

The imprints carry over though 🏆
