Hi all, Any server owners use a server manager?

[heavy juniper]

Heya me again! So i added these lines to my sp world to block flyers from being transfered, scs ball and cryos from releasing them.

Game.ini under [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]

PreventTransferForClassNames="Argent_Character_BP_C"
PreventTransferForClassNames="Moth_Character_BP_C"
PreventTransferForClassNames="Pela_Character_BP_C"
PreventTransferForClassNames="Phoenix_Character_BP_C"
PreventTransferForClassNames="Ptero_Character_BP_C"
PreventTransferForClassNames="Quetz_Character_BP_C"
PreventTransferForClassNames="Rhynio_Character_BP_C"
PreventTransferForClassNames="Tapejara_Character_BP_C"
PreventTransferForClassNames="Wyvern_Character_BP_Fire_C"
PreventTransferForClassNames="Wyvern_Character_BP_Lightning_C"
PreventTransferForClassNames="Wyvern_Character_BP_Poison_C"
PreventTransferForClassNames="Wyvern_Character_BP_Base_C"

It worked like a charm in SP! but dose not seam to work on our unoffcial Aberration server. Any clue of what could be goin on or what i could have done wrong. double and tripple checked the file, technically it should have worked

[north sparrow]

is there some chance to reduct/disable timer on dinos which i want to put into cryopod after they will get hit?

[devout junco]

Did you add these lines into the server files or just your game files?

[heavy juniper]

server file over at Nitrados 😆

[distant hearth]

only thing i can think to check is that they are actually in the server files nitrado side

[distant hearth]

use a cryo mod, i think thats the only way , u can have look through here for all the configs
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration

[sage cosmos]

has anyone else had issues with cuddles recently? seems no matter what you change the value to it will not change, just the requency, not sure whats going on

[heavy juniper]

its certainly in there, tripple checked! - there only one game.ini on a server ight? not that im missing something obvious that i should have know 😂

[distant hearth]

yea just the one, i only asked because nitrado ui can be buggy/laggy an sometimes the changes dont actually get into the .ini

does the mod have any alterations that can over ride it ?

[devout junco]

@heavy juniper You could try this code PreventDinoTameClassNames="Wyvern_Character_BP_Base_C"

[heavy juniper]

yea made the experiece of that too, checked again but they definitly are in there 😅

[heavy juniper]

ill give it a shot, thank you 😄

[devout junco]

If it works you can just copy and past all this PreventDinoTameClassNames="Wyvern_Character_BP_Base_C"
PreventDinoTameClassNames="Wyvern_Character_BP_Fire_C"
PreventDinoTameClassNames="Wyvern_Character_BP_Lightning_C"
PreventDinoTameClassNames="Wyvern_Character_BP_Poison_C"
PreventDinoTameClassNames="Ragnarok_Wyvern_Override_Ice_C"
PreventDinoTameClassNames="Pela_Character_BP_C"
PreventDinoTameClassNames="Ptero_Character_BP_C"
PreventDinoTameClassNames="Quetz_Character_BP_C"
PreventDinoTameClassNames="Griffin_Character_BP_C"
PreventDinoTameClassNames="Moth_Character_BP_C"
PreventDinoTameClassNames="Argent_Character_BP_C"
PreventDinoTameClassNames="Phoenix_Character_BP_C"
PreventDinoTameClassNames="Tapejara_Character_BP_C"
PreventDinoTameClassNames="BionicQuetz_Character_BP_C"
PreventDinoTameClassNames="Owl_Character_BP_C"
PrevenDinoTameClassNames="TekWyvern_Character_BP_C"
PreventDinoTameClassNames="CrystalWyvern_Character_BP_WS_C"

PreventDinoTameClassNames="Bog_Tapejara_Character_BP_C"
PreventDinoTameClassNames="Quetz_Character_BP_Rockwell_C"
PreventDinoTameClassNames="Owl_Character_BP_Eden_C"

[heavy juniper]

ok after further testing this dose sadly not work 😅

also found tha the previous setting of
PreventTransferForClassNames="Argent_Character_BP_C"
PreventTransferForClassNames="Moth_Character_BP_C"
PreventTransferForClassNames="Pela_Character_BP_C"
PreventTransferForClassNames="Phoenix_Character_BP_C"
PreventTransferForClassNames="Ptero_Character_BP_C"
PreventTransferForClassNames="Quetz_Character_BP_C"
PreventTransferForClassNames="Rhynio_Character_BP_C"
PreventTransferForClassNames="Tapejara_Character_BP_C"
PreventTransferForClassNames="Wyvern_Character_BP_Fire_C"
PreventTransferForClassNames="Wyvern_Character_BP_Lightning_C"
PreventTransferForClassNames="Wyvern_Character_BP_Poison_C"
PreventTransferForClassNames="Wyvern_Character_BP_Base_C"

actually just prevents us from uploading the said creatures now from aberration XD so they can get in but not out, the revers of what i would like 😂

at this point im hoping This whole zeppeling thing as flyer was a huge oversight from wc part, which made it impossible to disable flyers on aberration without screwing over the zeppelin enjoyers 😂 im hoping once official server open for transfer they figuer something out - unless they just not allow foreign dinos 🤷‍♀️

[devout junco]

@heavy juniper someone said this works but i cant try it as i host from my own server but for Nitrado is there a [ServerSettings] and try this code bForceCanRideFliers=false

[heavy juniper]

this code disabled the ability to use zeppelins XD

tryed that one already

[devout junco]

Ah ok, lol well Im out of ideas now 🙂

[heavy juniper]

😂 yea this was a huge oversight on WC part 😂

[devout junco]

@heavy juniper have you gave this code ago? CrossARKAllowForeignDinoDownloads=

[distant hearth]

they dint really care as officials block non ab dinos, so no problem for them .
i did just trawl through dino depot configs , looks like it might be able use a dino white list or black list but i need dig further on how there setting it up

[heavy juniper]

yep

[heavy juniper]

hmm maybe there is actually even a mod that could help...

[celest halo]

i wouldnt use the whitelist, you have to put ever ab dino in there plus the none ab dinos you want to allow. be a long list to make

list are dinos BP's

[heavy juniper]

anyway thank you guys 💜 very much appreciate the effort and help!

[neon sky]

Anyone still having problems with ab drops resetting to 0 loot table. Green just gave 2 wood walls 1 wood ceiling an a wooden crate we had the value set to 1.5

[distant hearth]

rng, quality doesnt really effect whats going to be in them, just improves the good things when you get them. u wud have recode all the drops with beacon if you dont want that sort thing

[neon sky]

We did use beacon an had the drops all the same on each map boosted server so boosted drops

[distant hearth]

the drops arent the same for each map, they mostly need to be coded for each map

[rain island]

are anyone else's 90% nights broken? our server is 50/50 at all times even when it says 90% night / 10% day

[distant hearth]

yea its alll messed up

[heavy jay]

Great my Abb server keeps restarting now to figure out if it’s a mod doing it😭 all my other servers are just fine

[olive talon]

If they're all using the same mods, it's probably not a mod, if they're all up to date. If it's a nitrado server, that's just nitrado tbh.

[heavy jay]

Yeah all set up the same ima just shut it off for a bit hope it fixes itself

Or they fix it lol

[olive talon]

It usually does, on the rare occasion you'll have to rollback or reset it.

[flint oasis]

Anyone experiencing horrible lag via nitrado? It takes us a second between hitting E and something actually happening (as an example it isnt just this button lol)

[gaunt lance]

The cluster I'm playing on has the same problem

[ripe bough]

Anmy1 else having some weird problems? Sometimes i hear a cat crying in ark, then a super loud monkey and then a woman laughing 😂 Is my ark cursed?

[plush lava]

definitley

[flint oasis]

Yeah maybe they're being DDOSed lol

Is the lag normal for y'all?

[tough oracle]

Ok so I am trying to use the mod map Amissa

However the map won’t show up

In the launch script do I type Amissa or do I put the mod map code

[distant hearth]

what launch script you using?

it sprob summit like amissa_wp

[tough oracle]

I did that and it shuts down now

Hang on I’ll post script

"Amissa_WP" "-port=xxx" -WinLiveMaxPlayers=10 "-mods=965379 ,929868 ,928621 ,947835 ,949521 ,939055 ,935528 ,942024 ,943713 ,944994 ,947709 ,1009361 ,933301 ,924900 ,1079535 ,912815 ,1007416 ,1075094 ,1075483 ,958282 ,1050566 ,1011119 ,945918 ,1057183 ,1050885 ,929072 ,991503 ,950657 ,1002321 ,981599 ,1021294 ,947091 ,1036007 ,954199 ,956237 ,937143 ,1005549 ,929830 ,999254 ,1013349 ,957904 ,1072821 ,951279 ,963130 ,931549 ,992933 ,1067961 ,1069026 ,1005286 ,944345 ,1015347 ,959391 ,954038 ,1059989 ,1040043 ,1067560 ,950239 ,930684 ,1038262 ,981391 ,1029377 ,981989 ,974472 ,966352 ,935946 ,953108 ,1056795 ,1024911 ,987274 ,961162 ,908148 ,942008 ,932822 ,994715 ,955932 ,965961 ,1065116 ,965992 ,965957 ,957093 ,940018 ,1066794 ,926259 ,975282 ,916922 ,928824 ,928548 ,929110 ,900062 ,926956 ,927131 ,914844 ,1007609 ,929420 ,929506 ,933872 ,933447 ,935408" "-clusterid=xxxx" "-ClusterDirOverride=C:\Users\xxxx\Documents\ASA\Cluster" -ServerPlatform=ALL -log -servergamelog

[distant hearth]

what is that some sort of server manager ? an sry but i cant deal with crazy , thats way too much mods for me to deal with

the mod map name is right, i just checked on curseforge

[tough oracle]

yes it is server creation tool

maybe that is the issue ill pop in thier discord

[bleak ivy]

its the quotes isn't it?

that is a lot of dino mods lol.

[tough oracle]

yes that is my favourite thing lmao, all or nothing

[dusky radish]

Anyone having issues on steam cmd private server with invisible Baskalisks? They are underground while attacking me and I cant see them.

[pseudo saddle]

Well, WC must have updated and changed something, We use ASR and also Ozocraft, and everything with ASR broke, can't craft or learn engrams, and Ozocraft won't place anything shows green but never places on applacian map, any seeing similar with those mods?

[celest halo]

that sounds like a bad mod update, remove mod close game, open game reinstall mods

[pseudo saddle]

testing now, uninstalled both, restarted ASA and installing again

[visual skiff]

I added Scorched Earh as Clustuired map (originally standalone Aberration)

• When setup cluster id
• Added custom cluster path
• Setup same GUS.ini & Game.ini
• Setup same mods

But when I join Scorched Earth, my game crash :(

[tough oracle]

I think the issue was I never updated it lmao

[distant hearth]

#1 added to what ?
#2 just becuase mods work on one map doesnt mean they will on another
#3 its best to start with a clean fresh map , no mods , test that then add mods etc

now youre at the point of, i dont know what caused issues, so, u can check the crash reports, hopefully summit obvious , other wise, just process of elimantion

[pseudo saddle]

and sadly in my case uninstall and reinstall didn't help anything with those mods, I'm guessing something needs to be updated after the last updates they did to ASA

[analog oracle]

Anyone else out there having trouble with aberration loot tables regarding the supply crate quality ini?

[flint oasis]

I feel like my ini files arent being read properly by Nitrado to be honest

[lapis pine]

Do u put these commands in the ini under game.ini or user.INI settings?
To Prevent people from using flyers on abb.
"Disable cave flyers" does not work and we can still use flyers in the nitrado setting

PreventDinoTameClassNames="Wyvern_Character_BP_Base_C"

[tough oracle]

My server has 0 ping, what does that mean, when I join it is black and shows nothing

It is port forwarded and worked yesterday, only thing I changed was I added ruinic wyverns

Can I copy and paste ini files and just change the server name? From my other map maybe something is messed up

Also when I went into abb ini settings it opened up every ini setting I have and wanted me to save changes to island I think now but idk what it did

[tough oracle]

Ok it loaded up but I can’t get out of bed

[stray axle]

We have the same issue. Sometimes one of us can see it and the other not and sometimes noone sees it. 🤷‍♀️

[wise kindle]

I want to say I can follow these issues, but nope, I cant. No idea what’s happening.

[lime leaf]

Has anyone had issues with Modded drops not working on their servers?

[prime leaf]

Is SE supposed to be on a different version of the game than the other maps? I have restarted the server a few times and it doesn't change from v52.14

[empty comet]

? steamcmd updates the server binaries

[tame cypress]

Is anyone able to tell me what I'm doing wrong here? I have the following in the bat file for my ab server, but it looks like people can still transfer in from other servers on the cluster with items in their person.

?PreventDownloadSurvivors=False ?PreventDownloadItems=True ?PreventDownloadDinos=True ?PreventUploadSurvivors=False ?PreventUploadItems=False ?PreventUploadDinos=False ?noTributeDownloads=False

Also, when it comes to preventing "non aberration" tames on ab, do i need to do any special configuration to mimic official?

[lunar cloud]

in command line you cannot have spaces, and the ? character acts as a separator

example from my server

?AltSaveDirectoryName=Aberration_WP?PreventDownloadDinos=True?PreventDownloadItems=True?PreventDownloadSurvivors=False?PreventUploadDinos=False?PreventUploadItems=False?PreventUploadSurvivors=False?ShowFloatingDamageText=True

notice no spaces

[prime leaf]

this directed to me? if so I do not understand lol

[ivory aurora]

Why does my server keep updating/restarting every time I try to log in? I have tried rolling back a backup but nothing has worked

[empty comet]

Yeah steamcmd updates the server, not the server itself, whatever you use to manage the server you need to make it update

Given I run my servers on my own machines, I just use steamcmd +force_install_dir %DIR% +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 +quit

Where %DIR% is the isntallation directory (updated since it was steamcmd, not steamdb oops!)

[prime leaf]

okay. all the other servers update just fine so not sure about SE. will look more into it. We also run the servers on our own machines

[empty comet]

My guess given you use a batch file would be that perhaps you forgot to update a path in one of the files so your "SE updater" actually updates another installation :p

[ivory aurora]

I tried to remove the mods I had put just before it started to happen and things still wouldn’t work

[proud tartan]

Hey eveyone, I'm trying to play the new map with my friends but I keep getting a Fatal Error: The UE-ShooterGame Game has crashed and will close, Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading addredd 0x00000218d8358fac

is there any way to fix this? I'm on PC

[twilit current]

How to install mods to self hosted server?

[lunar cloud]

-mods flag in the command line
it's a comma delimited list of mod ids
example: -mods=123,124,125

[frail heron]

We have a strange thing on our dedicated server. I have copied the mods to the Content/Mods folder but without the files with extension .mod (there is only one 111111111.mod which seems to be the primitive plus mod). When I start the server, it don't load the mods. Are these .mod files not created automatically?

[spring cairn]

Is it possible for me to host an ARK server from my PC, let everyone upload their characters to the cluster, and then we go on Nitrado and download them into the new Abberation map?

tl;dr - need a way for us to transfer our characters from the last map to Abberation with only one Nitrado server.

[last hornet]

Haven’t tried that, but it should work, I would confirm this with nitrado

[distant hearth]

this wudnt possible, you have no way to cluster to a nitrado server outside there network.
the easy way , rent a server for 3 days , cluster it , then transfer like that
slightly harder way ftp connect to the server , pull the save data, then change the map and only put back in the .arkprofiles.
(i suspect with the way asa saves map data that you might not need an ftp copy, however it wud be for the best incase anything went wrong)
Another way is to let people upload to there single player, then download to the new map , its a bit of pain an semi risky with data loss

[haughty cairn]

Anyone having issues with CrossARKAllowForeignDinoDownloads=True setting on Aberration? it saves, but then as soon as the server restarts it vanishes from the file again

[modest linden]

Not a set up question but does anyone know if the SummerBash event stuff is in the base game yet ?
Ppl been asking to remove the mod b’cos of off the annoying intro

[distant hearth]

yea it is

[modest linden]

Good to know Ty
I must of missed that in the patch notes

[jaunty vortex]

you didn't miss it in the patch notes because they never told us. But it's been a frequently asked question here and most people took it off some time ago - probably because of the annoying intro!

Still, soon be time for Raptor Claus

[gaunt lance]

Hi guys, is there a way to grant all explorer notes to a player?
The server I'm playing on is wanting to set it up as additional rewards for meeting certain conditions, however I can't seem to find any information on how to make this happen

[clever trail]

If you're using arkshop you can grant them the permission to buy all the explorer notes

[round raft]

Hello, can anyone help me? I have the nitrate server but when they try to join it puts lost connection with the host and does not let me join, I tried everything, backup, restart etc etc and it doesn't let me what can I do?

[clever trail]

Anyone know why the Zeplin on my server is not working like not able to fly

[distant hearth]

do u have no fliers on ?

[distant hearth]

contact nitrado support

[round raft]

Where by email or where?

[gaunt lance]

Thank you!

[distant hearth]

in there control pannel is usually an option to contact support

as a side note make sure its set to allow your platform in the general settings

[clever trail]

Yes but otherwise people can download their flyers

I run all the maps so far

in a cluster

[distant hearth]

yep it blocks zepplin flying,
if you dont want non abberant dinos on the map use
CrossARKAllowForeignDinoDownloads=false

[clever trail]

How will this work as i use the scs terminal mod end people have the scs balls on them when they travel?

[distant hearth]

its just all can do at mo , u can try blocking all flying dino with
PreventDinoTameClassNames="Argent_Character_BP_C"
etc
dont know if it works, it wudnt for someone using super cryo storage mod

[distant hearth]

i dont know if scs will just overirde it, you wud have to test it

[clever trail]

I'll try, thank you kindly

[celest halo]

If scs honors the map restrictions it won't let them throw the dino out of the ball if crossarkallowforeigndinodownload is set to false

[round raft]

Impossible doesn't solve anything for me and doesn't let me leave the problem to them

[sleek nacelle]

Is there a way to increase the amount of linked storage a tribe can have?

[glacial creek]

seems noone answered you
yes automatic downloaded everytime the server loads.
this maybe a simple - missing in front of -mods=
aswell i use the commandline for my mod entries not the gus ini

[empty dirge]

Hi guys! I have a problem. When me and my friend are playing on the server I host, every time he gets further away from me than 200 m, he spawns next to me

any help

[olive talon]

You're playing nondedicated on Ark Survival Evolved. That happens. You can change the tether distance in the settings if you're playing on Steam, but you'll still be teleported when loading.

[distant hearth]

i presumed if they were copy mods over like that it must of been an ase server tbh , adding mod entries in gus.ini will only give them a load order which asa doesnt seem to care about

[glacial creek]

always forget theres still some holding onto ase
i guess im guilty aswell keeping the full dlc cluster running lol

[frail heron]

thanks. I had them in the .ini file, not the command line. For now, I just copied the missing file from my local installation. I'll give it a try, to use the command line next time.

[distant hearth]

are you on asa or ase?

[frail heron]

ASE

[distant hearth]

that command wont work for you, thats the newer command for asa servers

[frail heron]

I think its GameModIDs for the command line in ASE

[distant hearth]

idk tbh , never had self host ase server sry

[frail heron]

Another think that I'm wondering: Why is the server always trying to start the New Year Event? I see it in the log output as one of the last lines when the map goes online. It's not an important question for me, because it always fails to start the event, and we don't want it. I'm just wondering why it always shows up.

[glacial creek]

couple things for ase
yes put the mod number id's into the gus ini under server settings ActiveMods=
aswell in your command line put -AutoManagedMods
and finally in the Game.ini create this at the bottum and add each mod
[ModInstaller]
ModIDS=2693727499
ModIDS=2693727499
ModIDS=269 and so on
and that will auto download and setup mods

[glacial creek]

and adding the commandline -ActiveEvent=none should stop it

[woeful river]

Anyone know of a Mod that is simmilar to the S+ vivariums?

[olive talon]

If you're on ASA, cybers structures has basically all of s+ functions and the vivariums

[hollow temple]

I got a question for anyone can help me real quick. Problem is I can't see supply drop beam at all. I tried to install and reinstall the game but no effect to it.

[distant hearth]

xbox series s? if so its just howe they are

[gleaming sable]

If this is a Nitrado server, open a support ticket with them to resolve.

[hollow temple]

That is a problem if that's so.

[gleaming sable]

is this a local session, Official , Unofficial, or Non-dedicated Ark?

[hollow temple]

I tried all servers

[flint oasis]

So, the lag in our server we turned off Crossark and Crossplay for Xbox and PS5. Now it is just Steam and Windows and no other servers connected. The lag is minimal which is what it has always been (Nitrado) 🙂 so for anyone experiencing problems try this out and see if it helps!

[candid imp]

Try support

[pseudo saddle]

Anyone here using the ASR and ozocraft mods, been having issues since the last update with nothing all ASR dissappearing and can't learn engrams, and ozocraft won't allow any placement in ASA

I have tried removing all mods on both client and my server side with no changes, even tried updating the server again

[brittle creek]

There is a problem with the inventory, it crashes, when are you going to fix it?

[marble cedar]

How do i update my server on steam cmd

[celest halo]

run the command you used to install it again

[visual pollen]

Is anyone else having a Problem with there stats being Different after Update I went and checked my settings and everything is still like I put it in but in game the Stats are way different

[marble cedar]

will it still keep all my progress and files etc?

[marble cedar]

also where do i put that command

[hollow temple]

Anyone else having the issue with the lighting aberration where everything's dark

[marble cedar]

I did that and the build number is still the same for the server on the list

[marble cedar]

r.lumen.hardwareraytracing 0 in the command line works for me

[distant hearth]

how did u install the server?

[worthy socket]

I have a admin giving me the rights to use admin for notes but is not allowing me access any admin right to get notes on Xbox did work before in single player mode

[glad bane]

im trying to set up unofficial in asa, im trying to set up custom drops and trying to add all the saddles to my blue drops, is it all the same name IDs from ark evolved?

[hollow robin]

ok im having a huge brain fart how do u make it show the decay timers on the buidings in game

[distant hearth]

mostly yea, obv a few new things add5rd

[glad bane]

we tried adding 50 saddles but some are not working, i was thinking that maybe they changed the name on some?

[distant hearth]

not that i know of but do u self a favour an get the ark beacon omni app/programme, drop editing is free in that iirc, makes way easy.
theres a link in th epinned messages of this channel

it pulls from the asa dev kit so , if it has changed it shows in that

[marble cedar]

Through steam cmd

[distant hearth]

u just use the batch file u installed the server with to update then , what version u on ?

[hollow robin]

is anybody else having an issue not being able to find/ join your personal server i had no issue the past fiew days and now nobody can join the server thats evin if they can find it

[candid heath]

Is unofficial f***ed rn? My server keeps stopping. I’ve booted and loaded in a good 3 times and five mins later the server just stops each time

[subtle gyro]

whats the config map name for abberation

i know the island is TheIsland_WP

nevermind

literally is Aberration_WP

[haughty cairn]

anyone else having stupidly high ping rates on Ab servers? like 400-600 ping?

[celest halo]

nope i was around 80 today

[chilly crow]

Anyone know if there’s a spawn command for specific traits on a dino? Looking to do an event on my server with a rare trait dino as the prize

[frail ferry]

Daily, tried all I can but no clue why it’s happening aside from the gene gun. Dino scan murders the ping while in use

[young stream]

Idk if anybody has this issue or not or if it’s even in process of being fixed but does anybody else crash everytime they open their inventory? Like Jesus I crash like 20 times a day everytime I open inventory like I’ll be able to open it a few times and then I crash the next time it’s rather annoying

[wintry sail]

Is anyone else having issues with getting their stat settings for dinos and players to stay what you set them at on Scorched Earth?

[subtle gyro]

Is there a way to disable bobs tall tales content on a self hosted server

[wise tendon]

There is a mod I believe

[subtle gyro]

I already figured out the pyromane I was just curious about BTT. Although BTT isn't nearly as bad

I'm still torn about it lol

[distant hearth]

yea can remove the dinos an engrams using code in the game.ini

[clever trail]

Anyone else also having issue where sometimes players have to create a new character when they log back in, their old body is still there the game just does not see it?

[marsh elm]

Is it possible to change the fishing loot pool ?

Like to do a custom aberration fishing loot

[storm cradle]

I need help

I am hosting a nitrado server on ASE and I am on expert mode to disable foundation support but I cant seem to figure out how to-

Enable the death beam for your shit when you die
Enable friendly fire on PvE
enable structures plus pick up

[distant hearth]

game.ini
[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
bUseCorpseLocator=true
bPvEDisableFriendlyFire=False

gameusersetting.ini
[ServerSettings]
AlwaysAllowStructurePickup=true

look for the lines an change as needed , if there not there, add them

[storm cradle]

thanks, do you know if I exit expert mode will it all disapear form the ini?

[distant hearth]

once u have saved each ini with the server off, they shud stay, but there isnt any need to exit that mode

[storm cradle]

well I got impatient and already exited it

😭

[distant hearth]

shud be fine

[storm cradle]

Thanks homeslice

What command lets me copy the target dino id to clipboard so I can teleport it out of the mesh?

I need the id for the TeleportCreatureToMe command.

I got it through ASV, but damn, they need a way in-game

[muted bone]

Hi wondering if anyone can help i have rented a vps for ark ascended opened all ports plus one on game port windows firewall and with providers own firewall and keep getting time out error when i go to connect to the server

[cinder abyss]

Are all maps meant to have the Cosmo reload ini settings on all maps? And set to -1? My servers are fritzing and this is the only new thing

[compact goblet]

anyone know how to increase the limit of the linked storage for my cluster?

[distant hearth]

ark ascended only needs the one udp game port open to be joinable, set with -port=, heres an example of a simple working batch file
Start ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?SessionName="my server name" -port=7778 -winlivemaxplayers=10
this ran from the same location as the .exe wud open the it, call it, my server name, use port 7778 udp and set the max players to 10

[muted bone]

I have it showing up on server list when i am joining i keep getting connection timed out

[austere rune]

lately players on my servers have been logging in to find they are presented with a Create Character screen... then when they make a character, they're able to see their original character sleeping where they last logged out... this is a pretty devastating issue, is this caused by server config or a bug in the game? this didn't start happening until recently.

[distant hearth]

yes often a sign the port isnt forwarded correctly, look up the server name on battlemetrics an see what port its actually running on

[muted bone]

Will have a look at that now thanks

[tall chasm]

How i can set up max player level to 135? I get max level 95 without ascension level

[distant hearth]

nitrado or self host ?

[austere rune]

self

[distant hearth]

its a cluster or single server?

[austere rune]

a cluster but i've checked to make sure players affected by this are logging in and out of the same server

[distant hearth]

oh dam, ive only seen it happening after people transfer , that can be sorted using the other save format.
for your case , have u looked in the save file an see if there .arkprofile is still there after the issue occurs?

[austere rune]

hmm what other save format? i can give that a try, it might help

[candid heath]

does anyone know how to read crashstack files or could help me open/decypher one?

[distant hearth]

im not sure its going to help for your case tbh but i guess you can try . Make a full backup of the servers first , mark the backup as before change save format. If anything goes wrong you can always revert then, as this proces is not reversible any other way .
Then you will stop the server and add -converttostore -usestore -BackupTransferPlayerDatas to the command line .
Start the server and it will convert it, once the server has been run one time with this command , You can then remove the -convertostore part

[austere rune]

ok thank you i will try this. do you know what the differences are between this save protocol and the default one?

[distant hearth]

yea it combines the .arkprofile an tribe data into the world save file

[austere rune]

ok interesting, thank you, will give it a try

[bold mason]

there is a server bug, the player profile is not being created when they transfer maps.

[bold mason]

i didn't know this was a thing, i'll be doing this as well!

[distant hearth]

just be sure to make full backups an mark them seperate as the process is irreversible

[bold mason]

i will.

[final eagle]

Is there a server command to allow flyers in abberation on my server?

[olive talon]

Allow foreign dino downloads and enable
bForceCanRideFliers=True

[unkempt night]

Can anyone tell me how easy/hard it is to rent a server please? Hoping to start one up on Friday as long as its not a pain.

[distant hearth]

renting a server easy , setting up how u want, not so much, watch a few youtube guides on nitrado server settings or something . to get an idea of what ure getting into

[unkempt night]

Cheers I'll do that.

[final eagle]

Hmm doesn't seem to be working, it goes in the GUS correct?

[distant hearth]

the server default to flyers on, unless u messed with it , shud just need,
CrossARKAllowForeignDinoDownloads=True
in gus.ini under [serversettings]

[final eagle]

hmm In Aberration?

[distant hearth]

if its nitrado server they do have a setting for that in the cross ark section too iirc

[distant hearth]

yea

people think its a cave but its not counted as a cave for map puposes

[final eagle]

So they're able to transfer with cryo, but once they're their they try to uncryo and it says no flying class allowed or something like that

If I enable foreign dino, would they be able to download from other servers? I remember that being a thing just wondering

[distant hearth]

yes that what that setting does, allows no ab dinos on abberation.

if flyers were off, the zeppelin they added with the dlc wudnt work

[final eagle]

Oh sorry I was thinking of transferfromfiltering outside of cluster, yeah I'll enable "CrossARKAllowForeignDinoDownloads=True " and see what happens thanks for the headsup!

[distant hearth]

you only need that if you dont have a cluster id setup, thats to stop people uploading from single player if no cluster id is set

[final eagle]

Seems to be still not working hmmm

It didn't save my setting~

[distant hearth]

look through the gus.ini for the bForceCanRideFliers=
line

[distant hearth]

nitrado fun, stop server, wait 5 mins, change the setting, save it, wait a minute, start server, there u/i is laggys asf

[final eagle]

Worked!, Oh I preivate host. I stopped the server after I made the change so it overwrote the GUS file. did it correctly this time and its all good now! thanks!

[distant hearth]

oh always must stop server before making changes in ini

[humble thicket]

Anyway having trouble with a server getting stuck in restart loop since yesterday? My Ab server is working perfectly fine, but the other server in our cluster with identical mods is stuck in a restart loop. I have even tried un installing all mods. First time this has ever happened I’m at a loss

[frail lynx]

Y are there no Dino’s in the caves?

I’ve reloaded the game and Xbox and still nothing

Is it a bug?

[distant hearth]

contact nitrado support, in the mean time if you can get the force stop option, do so an leave it off for 15-30 mins, then try reboot it

[humble thicket]

I’m submitting a ticket now. I actually had it stopped all night and just tried to re boot when I got off work and it’s still looping so hopefully they have a fix that won’t erase all our builds

[distant hearth]

you wud hope so , i always took manual backups anyway . i assume you tried rolling the server back to a previous save ? as thats what support will first tell you to do

[humble thicket]

Yes I did sadly. It didn’t work either.

[stiff onyx]

so ive been play abb with no issues untill yesterday where all of my game servers stopped allowing people to join they worked fine the day before {ports and firewall are good}

if you have any ideas let me know

[dusky thistle]

Anyone know of the config for linked storage box capacity? Assuming there is one same as generator cap.

[pine hatch]

My server also will not let anyone connect to it (connection timed out message) was fine yesterday when i turned it off and now been trying for hours from pc and ps5 so assume its a problem with nitrado

[pseudo saddle]

Anyone else running ASR or Ozocraft mods on their server and having issues? Been having problems for the last few days, I've tried just about everything from uninstall mods, reinstall both server and client. and the maps are clustered also, it goes across all maps, all buildings using ASR vanished and Ozocraft won't allow placement.

Not sure what happened or changed to cause this

[charred vector]

Anyone else get kicked from their own server when you try to go into admin mode ?

[pseudo saddle]

I had that happen once, but I think it was due to the admin console mod I was running being out of date

[acoustic elm]

do i need to port forward inorder to join a server hosted on lan sever? to clarify, i can join through single player and putting open -ip address- but when i try and join through the unoffical list it times out

[lunar cloud]

if you try to join a unofficial self hosted server, that server needs port-forwarding setup so it's public IP and port can be reached from the internet. The server starts, registers and thats why you can see it on the unnofficial list. If it times out when trying to join, it means that the public ip and port cannot be reached. Both port-forward needs setup to reach that server and make sure there is no antivirus or server firewall blocking the port also

[acoustic elm]

thank you

[pseudo saddle]

I usually port forward just in case, don't hurt anything.

I have one in and out rule for game servers with the common ports IE 7777, 27015 etc

[bold mason]

Hey, do i need to do anything else, just fire up the server, let it convert then bring it down, remove -converttostore and bring it back up?

[wary cargo]

HI can I get some help setting up a dedicated server please??

[lunar sorrel]

I'd it's really on the LAN, no I've never had to port forward it unless you have firewall rules blocking it. If you're connecting from the WAN, then for sure you need correct port forwarding and the server needs to be started with the -port option to make sure it's actually starting on that port.

[wary cargo]

I followed the steps here
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_server_setup
But my bat file is doing nothing

[broken halo]

Are you gonna run one map or multiples scratch that I would get a server manager regardless there are several out there just depends on ur skill and functions you want

I use windows GSM it does need a plug in for ASA but it's simple and efficient others are using ark server manager

[bold mason]

im using haru host, it works pretty well but some stuff is limited behind a paywall.

mostly backup stuff from what i've seen.

[marble cedar]

how do i update a steam cmd ark ascended server

[sour geyser]

Did we find out which mods are keep nitrado in a restart loop?

[last hornet]

Nitrado?

[lunar sorrel]

steamcmd +force_install_dir <install_dir> +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 +quit

[lunar sorrel]

Need a bit more information besides it does nothing. Can you show what your .bat file looks like?

You also need to make sure it's actually a .bat file and not a .bat.txt file.

[marble cedar]

i thought it was app_update 2430930

[lunar sorrel]

Whoops. That's what you get for copying the wiki and not checking lol

[marble cedar]

I did those things but my server is still behind compared to everyone elses

[lunar sorrel]

You are running this on a server you can physically touch?

[marble cedar]

my pc yeah

[lunar sorrel]

I'm not actually sure what version we're on rn as they're doing updates pretty often

Looks like 52.23

[marble cedar]

yeah, mines 52.15 i think

[lunar sorrel]

So when you run that CMD as administrator in your terminal, what does it say/do?

[marble cedar]

I did steamcmd +force_install_dir C:\Users\name\OneDrive\Desktop\Steam CMD\steamapps\common\Server1 +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 +quit

[lunar sorrel]

I suggest moving the install to the primary C:\arkserver folder to cut down on that for simplicity's sake and adding in verify

[marble cedar]

wdym adding in verify

[lunar sorrel]

I meant validate

[marble cedar]

how do i do that

[lunar sorrel]

To make sure, the install is not corrupted.

+validate before quit

If you do the reinstall, the only things you need to move is the Saved folder

It has all your ark config files and the world data in Saved

For that server that is.

I currently run 3 servers on a cluster with a shared ark folder as it's required for any cluster to work. Each server has its own steamcmd folder like ArkServer1, ArkServer2, ArkServer3

[marble cedar]

Ill do the update stuff again and do the validate thing. It just takes forever to update lol

[lunar sorrel]

Well it depends on your connection speed 😦

[marble cedar]

usually 150mbs

[lunar sorrel]

I can probably get it in about 2-3 minutes

Validation takes awhile longer, but it's worth making sure the install/update is correct

Just remember if you run a server it's gonna eat your RAM alive. 😄

[marble cedar]

yeah, i have 32 gig and its only 2 people so im alr

[wary cargo]

I am not able to send screenshots but this what I have in my bat file

ShooterGameServer.exe TheIsland_WP?SessionName=Freddys?ServerPassword=!thisisme-port=7777-7778?QueryPort=27015?MaxPlayers=5?ServerAdminPassword=!thisisme

btw it is a bat file

should I just say 7777?

im hosting server where I am gaming from so firewall rule should'nt matter right?

ok. But for now there is no one joining and I have just specified the port 7777 in the script and ran it and it still opens nothing.....

the bat file is in this directory btw -> F:\Server\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64

is that correct?

[elfin folio]

hi all. has anybody built / compiled from scratch to avoid the docker setup using opensuse? would really have liked it on ubuntu

[wary cargo]

cool thanks

[elfin folio]

well. my host OS is ubuntu and i'm running the ark ascended docker just fine

i just dont like opensuse and that was their decided flavor

at least linode is fine, i'm 22.04

oh really? yea i did a little general hardening of my linode instance, and then just pulled the docker image

let me find the article, and there is an assumption of basic linux level comfort

oh...its not letting me post links

[lunar sorrel]

I apologize bee. I'll keep my messages cleaner

[olive talon]

In this channel, they need to be specifically Ark setup help, whether it is settings for sp, configuring mods, or unofficial servers

We're typically a little more strict when it comes to the help/media channels, you're fine.

[distant hearth]

is this for ark ascended or ark evolved server? you have mostly ase commands there but it gets confused at-port=7777-7778

[wary cargo]

asa

[distant hearth]

your batch file is trying to start an evolved server

[wary cargo]

oh wow how do I fix this?

[distant hearth]

heres a simple ark ascended batch file that works,
Start ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?SessionName="my server name" -port=7778 -winlivemaxplayers=10
if put in the same place as the .exe it will start the server , call it my server name , run on port 7778udp and have a 10 player limit.
hopefully that helps you undrstand how the commands work

[wary cargo]

oh wow it works

[marble cedar]

Guys what am i doing wrong to update my server, im doing this in steamcmd +force_install_dir C:\Users\name\OneDrive\Desktop\Ark Servers\Server1 +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 +quit
But my server is stuck in 52.15 instead of updating to 52.23

When i do that it does the entire update process but then proceeds to not actually update the server

[distant hearth]

yours shud look more like this,
ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?SessionName=Freddys?ServerPassword="!thisisme"?ServerAdminPassword="!thisisme" -port=7777 -winlivemaxplayers=5
note the commands start with ?command or <space>-command
also note some people have issues with port 7777, id reccomend 7778 if you still have issues

[wary cargo]

you are a life saver

[marble cedar]

can you graciously help me lol, im lost

[distant hearth]

try running it with validate in, see if it validates any files ,
+force_install_dir C:\Users\name\OneDrive\Desktop\Ark Servers\Server1 +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate +quit
if it does u prob have another folder inside of
C:\Users\name\OneDrive\Desktop\Ark Servers\Server1
likely called ark or ark1 that the server is installing too

[marble cedar]

When i do validate it say that the command doesnt exist

[distant hearth]

when put in a line like i did above?

[marble cedar]

how would i figure out where that server is installing to

[marble cedar]

yeah, ill retry now after i try updating again

[distant hearth]

id figure out why validate dont work first , thats kinda weird

[marble cedar]

when i open the server1 file it has the engine file and shooter game file along with dlls and txts. Is that right?

[distant hearth]

yea but is there another folder in there as well, ark or ark1?

[marble cedar]

nope

[wary cargo]

How can I have my friends connect?

like can they search up my servername?

[distant hearth]

did you forward what ever port you set in the batch file through windows firewall or the router?

[marble cedar]

when i update it says, Success! App '2430930' already up to date. But my server isnt up to date

[wary cargo]

no I did not
do I do this?
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "ASA Server" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 7777,7778,27015 -Protocol TCP -Action Allow ?

[marble cedar]

and when i type validate in the command line it says, Command not found: validate

[distant hearth]

its installed it somewhere else likely then ,
prob becuase it on a onedrive folder
try this
+force_install_dir "C:\Users\name\OneDrive\Desktop\Ark Servers\Server1" +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate +quit

[distant hearth]

no , u only need the one udp forwarded inbound that you set in the batch file with the -port=xxxx command, where xxxx is the port number you chose

[marble cedar]

yeah thats what i already did

[wary cargo]

New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "ASA Server" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 7778 -Protocol UDP -Action Allow

like this?

[distant hearth]

with the quotations?

[distant hearth]

yea that looks better, shud note i just do it manually though, i dont trust a script to actually work , but thats just me

[marble cedar]

alright i wasnt doing quoations, i didnt know that was part of it, its actually installing stuff now and going very quick. I think i had just installed like 5 differeing servers somewhere on my pc before lol. Time to try and find them

[distant hearth]

after running that command, check the folder, if there's another folder called ark or ark 1, you need to drop the last part off the file path an try again
also shud be able just search for arkascended.exe, it will bring up any locations its installed at ,
quotations are usually only needed on file paths with spaces in, but never hurts to just have them there anyway

[marble cedar]

that validate thing still isnt workling though

[distant hearth]

unsure why, are you runnning it as a batch file or just putting the command in the stmcmd window?

[marble cedar]

it now also has the steamapps folder after doing the update thing

[marble cedar]

command line in steamcmd window

[distant hearth]

thats good seems like its installed correctly

[distant hearth]

prob why then , i run it as a batch file so i dont have keep open the stmcmd window an type it out

[marble cedar]

what does your batch file look like

[distant hearth]

mine looks like this start C:\SteamCMD\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir "C:\Arkserver1" +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate +quit
you wud have to change the file paths to your install locations

[marble cedar]

oh like copy and paste (+force_install_dir "C:\Users\name\OneDrive\Desktop\Ark Servers\Server1" +login anonymous +app_update 2430930) into the batch file?

that makes it easier lol

[distant hearth]

you know how to make a batch file? just make a new one , call it arkupdate or what ever you want and change the file paths
you might have an issue if you installed stmcmd too the one drive folder though a need use
start "" "C:\SteamCMD\steamcmd.exe" +force_install_dir "C:\Arkserver1" +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate +quit

[wary cargo]

@distant hearth ran this on powershell and restrarted the server but I still cant find it under official?

unofficial I mean

[distant hearth]

did you forward through the router too? plus any external anti virus you might be using, norton avast that sort shit

[wary cargo]

oh router as well? ok will do that now

[marble cedar]

thank you so much, its all working now

[lunar sorrel]

See? Dude knows his stuff 🙂

[wary cargo]

I did it and it has started to work. Thank youuuu

[wary cargo]

how do I setup a cluster if I want to in the future?

is there a guide I can follow?

[lunar sorrel]

You need a shared folder, it'll be something you use in the cmdline if I remember right

[distant hearth]

theres a couple ways , you can run off the same .exe with differnt batch files for each .
or my prefered way is to just install a fresh server in differnt folder to the first install, then link them with a shared cluster folder

[lunar sorrel]

2nd is better. You can set different server settings with the 2nd option.

[distant hearth]

you can set differnt settings using the batch file method but it gets alot more complicated imo as they all have to be set in the start command

[lunar sorrel]

Ain't hard if you got BATman ;D

[wary cargo]

Btw how do I set the server rates?

[lunar sorrel]

ini file settings

[distant hearth]

you will need to edit the two .ini files the server uses , all commands can be found here ,
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration
or you can use a program like ark beacon omni , makes it easier , the paid version of the program is excellent , the free version does a fair bit stuff.
which ever way you will need to do a little resaerch an figure out how you want the server set

[wary cargo]

in which directory will the ini file be?

is it called DebugConsole.ini?
in the directory - F:\Server\Engine\Saved\Config

[distant hearth]

where ever you installed the server , then shootergame\saved\config\windowsserver

[wary cargo]

oh nice found it

[distant hearth]

the two files wud be gameusersetting.ini and game.ini
a fresh server install may not have game.ini in there an you have to make it .

[wary cargo]

oh right

[coral steeple]

anyone familiar with beacon for ark? what ini settings does creature adjustments change for a specific dino? for example it allows you to modify the dmg/resistance of a specific dino

[distant hearth]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#DinoClassDamageMultipliers

[coral steeple]

right thanks

also, is there something to modify the creature size classes that aggro onto a specific tame? for example, making shasta not aggro small things like eels

or at least a mod for that

[distant hearth]

not that i know of sry

[frail heron]

I'm setting up our dedicated server to move the maps from gportal to our server. All maps work fine with the saved ark files under ShooterGame/Saved but Fjordur is still showing Day 0 and the character has no inventory. Is there something special with the Fjordur Save Files? (never mind, it's fixed. I must have messed up something, when copying the files)

[compact goblet]

anyone know the setting to increase the ammount of linked storageboxes a tribe can use. default is only 4

[chrome marsh]

For some reason my server since SE has a level cap of 95 on all new character created. Is this a server setting issue or a bug?

[spring cairn]

This is a long shot, did you find a way? I have that that expires in 20 days, and no way to remove it in the base LMAO

cheat DestroyMyTarget while looking it.

[hollow temple]

If anyone can help with the issue I'm running into I'ma crashing every time when I Open my inventory

[olive talon]

Ingame issue that WC has to fix, not server setup help.

[hollow temple]

I thought to ask here first

[olive talon]

#bobs-with-probs would have been better. This is for setup help. Not game bugs.

[hollow temple]

Ok

[austere rune]

my players since aberration update are having problems with character sync, and after recreating their character, they cannot reach level 100 (only 95), has anyone had issues like this and figured out what's causing it?

[slender violet]

Hi everyone I just want to hear need some help 🙂
Does anyone know where I can manage permissions on the servers as permission groups because right now there are permissions Default, Admins Does anyone know what kind of folder I can find this in ? 🙂

[spare raft]

Good morning. I would like flying dinos to not be possible on my Aberration map as a base but I would like to activate the zeppelin.. How to do it?

[olive talon]

@red shuttle #bobs-with-probs

[red shuttle]

Ok thanks

[distant hearth]

you can block all non abberant dinos , otherwise seems to be a problem as the old ase codes for blocking specific dinos dont seem work

[jagged atlas]

There a command on ASA for explorer notes?

[fallen jolt]

giveallexplorernotes?

[fleet flare]

I am playing single player on ASE. I have the fear evolved event enabled in steam launch commands as well as in the menu options before starting my single player world. I am able to see the holiday items in the cooking pot but they have no cost, and the actually event isn’t running, meaning no bones, headstones, dodorex etc. any help appreciated to get it running. Please ping me

[lapis quest]

ASE events works parcially, you need old files from wildcard to activate them fully

[fleet flare]

Are those acquirable

[lapis quest]

Sadly not

On our ase servers, we end up giving only event colours for our players

[fleet flare]

That’s a shame

[lapis quest]

You can find someone to make a mod that may works

[fleet flare]

Ok. I’ll check it out. Thanks for the reply. Have a nice day

[fringe drum]

Anyone have Fix for Cave Overspawning?
The overspawn in some our caves are starting to cause lag when players enter them?

[olive talon]

I use the automatic dino wipe mod, but you can also use the spawn blocker mod to limit the total amount of wild megs, eels, etc in the server.

[stoic summit]

On nitrado if I wanna make a cluster do I need to pay for a another sever to do it on

[olive talon]

Yes

Each map needs it's own server for a cluster.

[onyx gale]

Anyone know of a command to give another player explorer notes? We are replacing someone's character and we're trying to give them their notes back.

Trying to avoid giving them the admin password to do it on their own character

[olive talon]

As far as I know, giveallexplorernotes is only for self. You may be able to teleport them to each note?

[fervent bloom]

me and some friends just downloaded ark, but after playing and ready to go into a cave... we found theres 0 enemies in the cave? is there a fix for this?

[onyx gale]

I'd rather give the password than that alternative lol. Thanks for the reply 🙂

[olive talon]

You can always just change the admin password, it would be 10x easier. Yw

[bold mason]

Anyone know why forcejointribe doesn't work on the new store save system?

[onyx gale]

Yeah I think that's what we're going to go with. Change password, let him do his thing, restart the server after

[fringe drum]

You can use the ArkShop plugin and they can buy the command with points they gain passively

There may be some other mods that can do the same thing.

[onyx gale]

I would agree that's another route to the same goal but I don't believe I find that a more efficient alternative

[fringe drum]

Depends on how big your group is.
I for me it was more benefits to go that route due to having over 50 people on my cluster.

[olive talon]

As far as I am aware, shop mods aren't available on cross-platform servers anymore since they're not allowed on consoles. I don't know if that goes for plug-ins as well

[hollow robin]

there are 2 shop mods that can be downloaded right now i used to have one butit got taken down and now its back up i dont dare to use it again since it might get taken down again

[fringe drum]

I think it's shop mods that use any form of premium currency

[olive talon]

Based on this, I wouldn't either

[olive talon]

Any mods that use any outside sources for currency

[hollow robin]

aaawww ok i seee ya its a weard thing anyway now does this include the ones that use time played on a server where the amount of time played gives u tokens that you can buy normal dinos like gigas and such instead of taming them

[fringe drum]

The shop mods I'm talking about use modded items, like add in coins that drops from dinos and what not

Unless that's a big no no as well?

[broken halo]

Has anyone noticed no building in portal area and what's a ini command for allowing ?

[olive talon]

It sounds fine, it's not outside currencies from a 3rd party site, it's modded items right?

[olive talon]

As far as I know, you haven't been allowed to build in portal since Ab first released on ASE, and I don't know if a config exists for it.

[pseudo saddle]

Anyone using ASR and having issues?

All placed structures disappeared and can't learn any engrams from the mod

[keen tendon]

Have you tried uninstalling/re-installing the mod ? I use ASR and nothing on our cluster, your issue seems local 😉

[distant hearth]

not tried it in asa but shud be
game.ini

bIgnoreStructuresPreventionVolumes=True

[native wave]

I wasn't having any issues with ASR last I checked....but my servers have also been down because I don't have a working AMD driver right now for Aberration.

[tranquil pewter]

Only thing i know that it doesnt work is when a player didnt create a tribe.

[vernal iris]

Hello good. Does anyone know if the AMD drivers for Aberration have already been fixed?

[distant hearth]

not yet, keep an eye on #announcements and #patch-notes

[sinful island]

anyone know the console command to list wild dino level without mods?

[jaunty vortex]

Not even seen any sign of the AMD fix in any of the unofficial driver leaks so far either.

[waxen hinge]

is ther a way to get a better hit detraction on your server or the net code ?

[acoustic elm]

i have a unoffical cluster hosted on a Lan server for myself and partner to play on. do i still need to port forward in order to transfer between maps? the map shows but i time out transfering

[distant hearth]

you can the join both maps with out an issue? if so how are they setup ? if running from two seperate installs, you will need a shared cluster folder

[acoustic elm]

i have them set up with pterodactyl, i believe they share the same cluster folder

and yes, no issues joining the maps. just can't actually transfer between them

[distant hearth]

ah sry im no good with linux or using pterydactl.
the issue u describe is either something wrong in the transfer filters or the shared folder,
gus.ini
under [serversettings]

NoTributeDownloads=False
PreventDownloadDinos=False
PreventDownloadItems=False
PreventDownloadSurvivors=False

PreventUploadDinos=False
PreventUploadItems=False
PreventUploadSurvivors=False

to enable full transfers between the clustered servers

[celest halo]

Are you use the server browser to join them or typing in ips

[acoustic elm]

using console in singleplayer to join

[celest halo]

Thought so, transfer uses same system as the server browsers so game is trying to connect to your wan IP and without a port forwarding it can't, I'm not sure if there is away to get the servers to report there connection ips as the lan one instead of public one

[acoustic elm]

so i need to portforward then?

[celest halo]

That or check the wiki to see if there is a setting to have it report lan IP as public one

[distant hearth]

ah that makes sense at it needs to connect to eos to confirm the player id(eos id)

[acoustic elm]

thank you for the help 🙂

[celest halo]

Not sure if setting -MULTIHOME=ip will work or not

[acoustic elm]

i tried looking into multihome but couldn't find much information about it

[celest halo]

Yeah and there's even less info for the -ServerIP one that people found in Nitrados Setups

[acoustic elm]

yeah, causes one massive headache. lol

atm my server isn't even starting cause i tried to restore a back up

[gaunt lance]

Would it be possible to run admincheat as player from server console?
For example:
Player x wants giveallexplorernotes
Admin does some magic in console, runas "playerx"-giveallexplorernotes

[toxic hazel]

Got a custom cluster path set too? Just adding it in

[subtle gyro]

Just in case anyone is curious, if you want to disable the pyromane go to your game.ini file for your server and type
NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="FireLion_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="Achatina_Character_BP_C")

[gaunt lance]

XD

[distant hearth]

why not save some typing an use,
NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="FireLion_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="")

or better yet , change them to mega's , always a shortage of those when u want them

[subtle gyro]

well i figured most normal people would have copy pasted, but yeah
NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="FireLion_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="Megalosaurus_Character_BP_Aberrant_C")

for megalosaurus

[distant hearth]

my point was you changed it to a non abberant dino, this cud lead to issues, as the server is then trying to spawn something that some/ prob most people have blocked

[subtle gyro]

achitina spawns on abberation?

ohhh wait i didnt do the abberant version didnt i

[distant hearth]

asa servers are finicky enough, it prob be fine, they generally ignore something they cant do, but its an extra variable that may be issue

[subtle gyro]

ah so it would be Megalosaurus_Character_BP_Aberrant_C

[waxen robin]

Any way to make npc body timer lower? Wild Dino bodies last 4 hours on my server. Too long

[distant hearth]

GlobalCorpseDecompositionTimeMultiplier=1
is default , lower value makes them go away fatser, dont use 0 though as it will go back to default

[waxen robin]

I set it to 10 and it didn’t change. I’ll try lowering

[distant hearth]

10 is why there so high

[waxen robin]

That setting isn’t in the config and it’s 4 hours, I set it to 10 and it didn’t change so figured it didn’t work

[distant hearth]

1 is default, 10 make sthem last longer

[waxen robin]

On asa

4 before and after restart after adding that setting

[distant hearth]

goes in game.ini

[waxen robin]

Oh I added to Gus mb

[distant hearth]

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

[waxen robin]

Thanks

[split forge]

can i refund/replace someones entire bag contents with a server command

[waxen robin]

Didn’t change the timer :/ I set it to 0.02083 (5 minutes)

[celest halo]

You checking on a new body

Existing ones won't have timer changed

[distant hearth]

ark be ark, it only effects new things in the world, any existing timer has to run down

[waxen robin]

It’s a new body

I restarted the server so

[distant hearth]

ive never seen 4hr decay timers so idk what you did to cause that , first thing is to check through the ini files an see if you have duplicate lines i guess

also make sure there under correct headers

oh also any mods that cud mess with it

[wise kindle]

Is it a corpse bag or just a dropped bag? They have different ini settings.

[distant hearth]

not the bags the dino corpse itself from what i can understand

[wise kindle]

Ah. I think thats the same as a dropped bag timer tbh.

I could be wrong tho, i cant remember the last time I changed those.

[olive talon]

I think its corpse decay or spoil timer? They are 2 different settings or were on ase

GlobalCorpseDecompositionTimeMultiplier

You have to lower it for lower times

[onyx gale]

My server is not appearing in the server list. The server says it is started. The information for server name, players online, etc never populates underneath the IP information.

Troubleshooting:

• I have restarted multiple times.
• I have stopped and left it stopped for 30 minutes, then started it back up.
• I've FTP'd in and checked and cleared .bak files. No files over 50kb observed, so corrupted ones did not seem present. Cleared some anyway, no change.
• Stopped, cleared mods list, saved, input mods list, saved, restarted - no change.
• Attempted restart from 4 previous saved backups - no change.

Not sure what else to try...

I tried submitting a ticket to Nitrado and I'm getting error to even do that 😑

[waxen robin]

This isn’t working for me. I do have increased player body times for the bags, it’s set to 24 hours but nothing for corpse decay. It’s currently 4 hours In game. With no ini settings.

[olive talon]

I don't know then, that's the only setting I know of, and W1ll already mentioned it as I've just scrolled up to look.

[frigid parcel]

is there a config to disable cryosickness on a pvp server

[distant hearth]

no, u wud have to use modded cryos

[acoustic granite]

does anybody know how to use the "Cost Multiplier Override" when spawning item blueprints with rcon?
I can't find any supporting info about what value has what affect

for example, if i use 5, would it be 5x standard cost, or would it only cost 5 of a resource

[distant hearth]

im not familair with pvp servers but looking through the wiki, there is this option , no idea if works in asa though
CryopodNerfDuration=x
wiki says x is 10 on official , i wonder if u set i to 0.01 , the dinos wud get sickness but recover almost instantly

[silver thistle]

has anyone been and done alpha rockwell and got the new bobs tales notes and been able to go past level 155 ?

[frigid parcel]

Unfortunately doesn’t look like it works on asa.

[distant hearth]

did you try it ? the wiki isnt always upadted with what does and dont work

[frigid parcel]

i did

[silver thistle]

it specifically states on beacon cryosickness cant be turned of on pvp

[distant hearth]

ok .... other than modded cryo , i dont think possible then.
most modded cryo you can make cost an work the same as official though

[frigid parcel]

okay thanks for the help

[distant hearth]

multiple people in other channels and discords have stated that its bugged an cant go past 155 atm, i guess another thing for wc to fix

[silver thistle]

aww i figured much i just see people on official saying they hosting alpha rockwell and i was thinking it was still bugged for both parties

when i mind wipe it says 174 but stops at 155

[glacial creek]

ya i got mine in the ini set for 300 player level when they finally unlock the cap it will auto give the points 🙂

[vapid elk]

Does anyone know of a mod that removes the need for structural support? Not looking for new parts just the need to not plop down supports every 3 tiles

[distant hearth]

theres one called foundation ceilings or summit like that , but it does give the seperate ceiling tile piece that needs be used, dont know of any others

[vapid elk]

Thanks!

Hi! Trying to set up a server on arch linux. I got the server running without mods, but the second I install any mods I crash with a signal 11 error.

The only mod I have active is super structures, I've read online that this error could be due to invalid mod files. I seem to be missing the modid.mod files for all of the mods, as I only copied them from my steam library (on the same arch machine). Is there any way to download these .mod files without installing the entire game on a windows vm, downloading the mods, then moving them back to my local machine?

im using -automanagedmods, this is my ShooterGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/GameUserSettings.ini

[ServerSettings]

oh well running the game in singleplayer generated the .mod files but its still crashing with the same error

[heavy hemlock]

if i buy the forglar map and host it on a private server for me and my friends do they also have to buy the map

[native wave]

yes

re install the mod , then load a backup to a point in time before the mod got uninstalled

[heavy jay]

That’s what I was thinking but wanted a second opinion thx bro

Hello, i´m trying to create my own server for ASE, but i have a problem with the ports, only the rcon it´s open, the query port and game port don´t open, do you know why? please help ^^

[white wasp]

Hi, can someone help me? I created an ARK ASA server on a Windows server, and now I want to play with mods.

What I have already done: I added the mod ID in the GameUserSettings, but my server still shows that it doesn't have any mods.

[distant hearth]

you need to add the mods via commandline/ start batch file with
-mods=<modid>,<modid>
ie -mods=12345,54321,45667
the mod ids can be found on cursefore website(project ids)

[distant hearth]

you will need to forward what ever ports u set the server to use, in the firewall and router udp

[white wasp]

thats what i already did but its still schow that my server dont have andy mods i creaed a Mod Folder and i puttetd the mods in the mods folder but that dont help .-.

Mods=929420,932770,949521
ie-mods=929420,932770,949521
ActiveMapMod=0
ActiveTotalConversion=929420,932770,949521

[distant hearth]

post the text from your batch file here an i'll take a look at it, put =xxxxxx for any infor you dont wanna share

[white wasp]

Can I send you the GameUserSettings file, and can you have a look to see if everything is fine?

[distant hearth]

no wont help becuase mods are added from batch file /commandline
the gus.ini does nothing for installing mods in asa really

[white wasp]

i dont have the gus.ini file in my Server lol

[distant hearth]

oh sry its short hand for gameusersetting.ini
but it dont matter thats ireelevant to me, id need to see the text from batch file or the command line ,
i.e
Start ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?SessionName="my server name" -port=7778 -winlivemaxplayers=10

[white wasp]

yes, but the thing that's confusing me is that I’m using a Windows server, and I can only see the server through FTP/FileZilla

[distant hearth]

well how do you start the server? how did you install it ?

[white wasp]

i start and restart the server with a discord bot what a frend made

[distant hearth]

the friend installed the server for you per chance?

[white wasp]

yea and then he send me the fileZilla data and said i dont know how this shit works you cann make it

[distant hearth]

then you need to contact friend and ask how he did it an if he can add the mods

[white wasp]

Okay, I’ll ask him later, he's currently offline, but thanks in advance.

[humble thicket]

I have it done, but only the rcon port opens

I have a wide range of ports open on windows firewall and on the router, but the only one that opens when I check and the server is open is the rcon

so i can´t connect to my server, because not appear on list

and with the ip:port on steam nothing, the server no exist 😦

[distant hearth]

you can use a website called ip void udp port scanner, put in your ip adress and the port number that you want to test , this will help to find out if the port is actually open properly .
what ports are you using?
also can post the txt from the batch file your using here if you did it manually , put =xxxx for passwords if you dont want to share those , thx

[fervent frost]

Hey guys so I hosted ase for 5 years , im not new to maps, coding or beacon.... however once I added my AB map no one can use the Teleporters...I have to set to auto unlock for all at Lv25 for ease of map travel same as the other maps on my cluster- however on an the AB map they can be made, laid just not used any ideas?

[fallen jolt]

Anyone with this problem? I got the notes from Bob Tall Tales in Aberration, the implant says it released 5 more levels to level up but it didn't release them in the character

[elder plover]

theres a cryo sickness protection mod that works great if you wanna stick to vanilla cryos and it can turned on/off with a default state set by the server

[lethal solstice]

Hey guys, I setted up my server and played for like a hour or two…
In the evening I wanted to play again, but now i can’t start it. It says:
“Failed to open descriptor file ../../../ShooterGame/ShooterGame.uproject.
Can anyone help me please?

[flint robin]

My sister has her own server, but when she made her character, she forgot to change her name.
Does anyone know how to fix her name, without having her make a whole new character? (Nitrado on Ascended)

[olive talon]

RenamePlayerId <PlayerID> <NewName>

RenamePlayer <"PlayerName"> <NewName>

[flint robin]

Is there a bug with any mods or anything that causes armor with higher stats to make you take more damage, rather than less?
I have some Yi Lings with different saddles, and the ones with Ascendant saddles seem to be taking far far more damage than the ones with regular saddles. I don't understand why.

[wise kindle]

If its modded, its possible. Were they created with a standard bp or were they spawned in or were they crafted with the new blueprint tinker table from Bobs Tall Tails?

[cloud notch]

So I've got a weird issue happening with my servers. When I launch Aberration and The Center aberration doesn't completely launch and closes while the center is fine. At first I thought it was due to a mod loading in first since originally they would both display BattleEye succesfully started>APDeathRecovery>Pelayori's Cryo Storage and on the Aberration launch Pelayori would be wrote first and then DeathRecovery before it crashed. Deleting the mods for a fresh install did not fix it so I removed DeathRecovery from the command line on both and tried launching again to the same effect. Changing the WP to older versions and the uncorrupted.bak still ended with the map not launching and switching the AltSaveDirectory to another location to effectively start the aberration map a new did not work either. Any idea to troubleshoot and get it to work will be appreciated.

[distant hearth]

look through the crash logs of the broken server see if anything stands out?
remove all mods an save data see if it ok then ?
start with a clean fresh server , then add things till you figure out the issue?
its just a matter of doing logical steps to narrow down the issue , other wise youre just pissing into the wind and hoping u dont get wet feet

[cloud notch]

Something got corrupted along the way either tribe data, profiles, or map nothing worked until I used the back up of everything and deleted the rest. Thank you darn thing had been broken all day.

[frail ferry]

Anyone notice a difference in ab ping with update?

[fallen jolt]

Does anyone have the command to unlock the tek bed?

[tough oracle]

Ini setting to allow more then 100 turrets?

[flint robin]

They were upgraded through the Upgrade Station mod made by Ghazlawl on Curseforge

Crafted with resources from engram, then upgraded through the upgrade station

[wise kindle]

Yeah id be in the modders discord asking questions then.

[flint robin]

I'm not sure if they have one, or where to find it, since I didn't see one listed on the mod page.

And the mod also doesn't have comments enabled, so I can't check that either.

[wise kindle]

Im gonna be honest, if I see a mod with no possible way to contact the modder, I dont add the mod.
You are stuck and theres no way to even find out if the modder knows there is a bug, much less if a fix is on the way.
Its a fat nope for that mod for me.

[flint robin]

I found their Twitter, and they're pretty active, but I couldn't DM them so I had to tag them in a post. The mod was last updated in December of 2023, so that may have been a red flag already, but I'm not the one who added the mod.
The mod has over 2 million downloads though.

Though that mod was also part of ARKpocalypse on August 16th

[last magnet]

I use the Imbue & Upgrade station by HexenLord

does the same thing, but he's got an active discord with support for his mods

[whole sierra]

Does anyone else's stuff randomly roll back on server restarts? I have my inventory from the afternoon yesterday but everything else in the world is still the same as it was 10 minutes ago before the restart

And now I can see myself sleeping on the ground but I'm clearly playing

And i appeared at 50 50

[lunar cloud]

thats normal if you dont do a server save before you do restart. the save intervals are 10-15min by default so you need to initiate a save

[whole sierra]

Ah ok. Thank you so much!

[empty hill]

Does anyone know why when I enter an unofficial server the entire server crashes?

Also when I enter I get the character creator when I already had a character on that server

[pseudo saddle]

Anyone use the ASR mod and having issues? Can

Can't learn any engrams, and all placed have vanished

across multiple clustered maps on one server

[wise kindle]

This sounds like a bad mod install. Is the mod the most updated version?

Has anyone having issues of joining a server and instant kick you out or you load in and then you just glitched not being able to move and then kick you out again?

[odd otter]

Has anyone built a cluster using Unraid for ASA? I can get them all running and they can see eachother but cannot move the survivor even with the settings enabled to allow it

[robust nymph]

is there an ini to increase enemy build radius? want to force players to not build so close to each other.

enemy build radius as a default is way to low and there should be a setting that allows owners to modify the distance

[pure haven]

is there any mod or ini config that can fix problem with wyverns on scorched? they still keep despawning and there is only like 4-5 wyverns per whole trench at a time

[silver thistle]

ru hosting ur server ? and using beacon ?

[pure haven]

yes and yes

[silver thistle]

cool

in beacon - go to creature spawns
i cant put pics here

basically go to creature spawns

new point
wyverns click replace spawns and click load default spawn .. copy and past the they wyverns that are already in the drop box this will iomprove the spawn rates of wyverns for you

[pure haven]

can i dm you and send screenshot?

[silver thistle]

yh yh

[pseudo saddle]

@wise kindle I thought so too but tried uninstall reinstall on both client and server side with no changes. Just to be sure I did a full reinstall of all mods on server side too

[hexed kraken]

Does anyone know if there's a way to reset explorer notes? I got absolutely screwed from glitches in the tek cave several times and used the command to give explorer notes along with the ascension and everything else this time around. But when we went to our unofficial scorched earth server, it automatically collected all the notes. Our tribe is only a few people, all in the same boat with the notes. Any way to reset them individually or for the entire server?

[delicate fox]

Anyone know how I could fix my server being stuck on booting? I haven't been running ARK through the SteamCMD but I wanted to add mods but the launch command isn't long enough so I setup SteamCMD and now whenever I try to join, it says lost connection and it's stuck on booting. It still says it's setup and the mods are active, I just can't join.

[distant hearth]

ark evolved or ascended?
im not sure exactly what you mean by its stuck on booting?? what does it say in the server console window that comes up ?

also did you forward the port/ ports needed to make the server joinable?

[delicate fox]

Ascended. I'll send a screenshot in DMs of the server console window, and it's a LAN server, so I don't want the ports forwarded.

[celest halo]

You more then likely will never be able to join it from the in-game server browser if ports are not forwarded

[delicate fox]

I'm not connecting from the in-game server browser. I'm just using open 127.0.0.1:7777 cause, well, it's LAN.

[distant hearth]

try a differnt port , some people have issues using 7777

[celest halo]

That IP only works if it's on same computer your playing on

[delicate fox]

Yes, it is

It just needed more time. Apparently, "full startup" does not mean the server is fully started up. Thanks Wildcard.

[distant hearth]

pretty sure they say waiting for incoming connection , last i looked, thats a newish thing last few weeks

[delicate fox]

Yeah, how fun!

Whateva, atleast the server's up, and I don't need to port forward it!

[distant hearth]

if u ever want anyone else join u will need to, its easy enough to do though on most setups]

[delicate fox]

My wife lives with me, no point in port forwarding it

[celest halo]

Or if you want to make a cluster and transfer between servers through the terminals

[distant hearth]

dint know it was needed for that tbh , but seem rem someone else saying they had to forward to do it

[celest halo]

You just click on the server to transfer to, so it's pretty much the same as using the server browser to join one, it's going to connect to the IP it gets from eos and that's normally external IP (same one battle matrices shows)

[distant hearth]

my networking knowledge is abysmall, i an i have no inclation to spend the time learning about it tbh. it just doesnt interest me so i get bored an forget half of what i tried to learn

[pale cliff]

My server rolled back to .27 and now has no ping tried restarting and Nothing

Anyone know a fix

For ping I don't know but for server version it should of rolled back to .27 they pulled .28

[slate stag]

Does anyone know of a mod to make the ichthyornis less ridiculous when you have a stacking mod? Tired of losing literally hundreds of resources because a trash bird was in the area. There used to be a mod for ASE called "Low Steal Ichthy" that capped the amount of resources they could take instead of just coding them to take a whole stack, irrespective of stack sizes. But it's not available on curseforge as far as I can tell.

[bleak ivy]

just remove them. remove them hell birds

[distant hearth]

#1 stack mods are bad
#2 dont know of one
#3 code the evil buggers out

[slate stag]

😭 I think that's where I'm at right now. I don't like just removing them, but until there's another solution, they make being anywhere near the beaches un-fun and feel really unfair because they're not working as designed and it's unrealistic for them to take a whole stack of meat and poof it instantly, or narcotics (haven't had that happen to me on this server yet, but it's a matter of time)

Gonna just tame a couple for the purpose of getting otters and then nuke them I guess

[distant hearth]

change to hesporanis an enjoy the game 🙂

[slate stag]

oh good idea, I was wondering what I'd replace them with but that's perfect

[bleak ivy]

I usually just replace them with nothing. but more poly is good

[last magnet]

oh I was using a spawn blocker but making more hesperonis sounds great. now what to replace the pegos with

[distant hearth]

i leave the pegos, cant have it too easy haha, but id prob change them to the lil monkeys coz who doesnt love them

[last magnet]

I lost a a tame in a cryo to a pego, but more monkeys sound fun

[heavy jay]

First time taming a pyromane almost had it tamed than just exploded what did i do wrong any tips?

[lapis quest]

Try to fight low level dinos, spam the heal

[heavy jay]

Which keybind is it to heal

[pure haven]

there is mod for asa that called Stop The Steal

[fiery dragon]

Does the Dino-Hunger Multiplier affect wild dinos? Like as in taming? Like I want to passively feed a Basilosaurus, does it make it take longer? Or is it only for tamed dinos?

[frail ferry]

anyone know how to stop the dupe when transfering servers?

[olive talon]

So far, there is no fix for this that I've seen, for officials or unofficials. You can enable the dupe check settings in your server, but I do not think it stops the transfer bugs.

[craggy storm]

Does tribe managment settings affect uploading dinos at the obelisk? I cant upload dinos. Its an unofficial server but other plays in other tribes have had no problems

[pseudo saddle]

Anyone running the ASR mod? been having issues the last week, can't learn any engrams, placed structures vanished, etc. Tried uninstall and reinstall both client and server side. everything is updated to latest version, even tried dumping all mods off server and full reinstall of them

[north elbow]

anyonw know if there is a command to fully asened a tribe or another player

[bleak ivy]

fully what?

[north elbow]

Ascend

[bleak ivy]

its by person not tribe.

then how would i do another player

Okay I will try that and if it doesn't work I will show you what my game. In I looks like

It will work

[fleet oyster]

On Nitrado's settings, there's a setting that says web and recharge, how would one go about adjusting that? would higher be better? or lower numbers? it's not exactly clear by the description

[last hornet]

To be fair I have not even seen that setting, what’s it do ?

[olive talon]

That's what we want to know, for cosmo xd

[bleak ivy]

its a max setting, it defaults to unlimited I believe.

“MaxCosmoWeaponAmmo” and “CosmoWeaponAmmoReloadAmount” in the GameUserSettings.ini under [ServerSettings]

[fleet oyster]

Oh, gotcha, cause it showed as a negative value, I was concerned I had goofed when using beacon.

[bleak ivy]

guess reload amount may change speed not sure.

[last hornet]

Oh for the new spider lol that makes sense now 😳

[last hornet]

Set to 3 and see what happens 🤣🤣

Let us know

[fleet oyster]

out of curiosity, is there a mod that can turn cosmo into a light pet? if anyone knows. Feels a bit weird that they're not a light pet

[last hornet]

That would be a great idea

[hearty oxide]

cant stack wyvern milk now on ASA?

[last hornet]

Yeh you should

ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_WyvernMilk.PrimalItemConsumable_WyvernMilk",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=1000,bIgnoreMultiplier=true))

[spare raft]

How to activate Zeppelin in my server ? ... 😢

[opal osprey]

I haven't done anything with Bob's tall tales yet, have been holding off on buying it... does it require the server to have it installed as like a mod? or is it built into it and is active for anyone who owns the DLC?

[spare raft]

In game

[opal osprey]

thanks

[distant hearth]

do you have flyers turned off? pretty sure it counts as a flyer

[spare raft]

Aberration Vanilla and other vanilla again

[distant hearth]

sry dont understand

[spare raft]

I haven't touched anything in the setting.

[distant hearth]

ah gotcha, it shud work then , whats its issue?

[spare raft]

The zepellin can be crafted but once you want to use it it simply disappears

[distant hearth]

thats odd, a quick google search says its a bug, happening sometimes if the language is not english, could this be the case for you?

[spare raft]

Indeed we are a French server. Console players can't put it in English...

[distant hearth]

oh ermm, i guess file it in #bug-reports , hopefully the major patch thats due fixes it though :/

[spare raft]

😢 Thx for ur time

[fierce crest]

Can I change an unofficial I have bought from one map to another?

Also is there any chill unofficial server for a small tribe?

[last hornet]

You’ll find one plenty around #1110925695900713072

[fierce crest]

Anyone knows about this?

[last hornet]

To be fair I have never tried this so it may work or not, if you just upload and swap maps, you’re not really deleting any files so it could work. It would be a much better question to ask your server provider

[raven notch]

For the ase ark shop plug in, are there guides anywhere on how to set up the kits? Or templates already created?

[bitter geode]

dms brother

[last hornet]

You would have to go to there discord I’d say for guides

[bitter geode]

If nitrado, yes.

[fair void]

There arent any unoffical servers showing up for me at a time

[pulsar spire]

is there any way to disable the spawns of nameless on my server?

[ripe harbor]

Im hosting a non dedicated session but my friend can’t join me, what do I do?

[raven notch]

tx

already did that earlier but couldnt find anything

[primal geyser]

Anyone else got the problem of Nitrado server crashing after 1/2 minutes of joining it ?

[strong quail]

anyone know how to fix UE4 shootergame crash

when i try to load into s+

[obtuse falcon]

I have these lines added to my game ini files on my gportal server and i cant get them to work. any ideads

ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_RawMeat_Fish_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=100,bIgnoreMultiplier=True))

[haughty vigil]

Has anyone also the prob that their server is in a crash and restart loop since the 52.22 Rollback?

[fathom basalt]

Hey guys what pc would I need to run a server?

Preferably on Amazon

I know I need 32 gigs

[distant hearth]

52.22 is a client version , no effect on server version

[distant hearth]

it depends on what you want to do , each map will vary on ram useage , general rule is 8-12gb per asa server instance (map) for upto 10 player an light mods

[fathom basalt]

Yeah I only want a server with 5 of my friends no mods and at max 2-3 maps

[distant hearth]

id be looking at something with 64gb of ram then really , preferably a platform that supports ddr4 as thats cheaper, id prob go with some sort amd cpu with intergrated graphics

[fathom basalt]

I just need some help with this because I looked on Reddit and there was a ton of arguments over what to get

[fathom basalt]

64 gb ddr4 got it

[distant hearth]

yea everyone will a prefernce, some just use what they had laying around etc

[fathom basalt]

And you suggest a amd cpu?

What about graphics cards?

[distant hearth]

doesnt really matter , just go by cost, server doesnt use a gpu , it only use ram and cpu.
you need some sort display output to make it easier, hence i was thinking some sort amd cpu with intergrated graphics, intel will have equivelants too

[fathom basalt]

So can I get a example of some sorts

Btw I appreciate your help this process

I read your guide and did my research

[distant hearth]

id imaging some thing like a AMD Ryzen 5 4600G wud be fine for what ure after, might even get away with 32gb ram for 3 maps but i think u be cutting it a bit to close

if you plan to build the sytem ure self, might be worth digging around local market places, facebook, or ebay an seeing whats out there s/h

hell some people are running servers off old broken screen laptops an just plugging into the display port a screen when they need lolz

[fathom basalt]

Perfect I am gonna take a look.

How many cores?

[opal osprey]

my friends and i went in on buying a blade server with 72 cores, 512gb ram and 14tb of drive space, we split it up into a couple different uses, but its primarily used for ark servers and a media server (different VMs), currently running all 4 available maps and its sitting at 12% ram usage and 8% CPU usage

[fathom basalt]

How much was it?

And where did you get it from?

[opal osprey]

a little over $1k, bought from amazon, we split the cost 6 ways

[fathom basalt]

Do you have the exact one?

[opal osprey]

was refurbished and a couple years old, but it works great

not off-hand (i'm not home right now)

[fathom basalt]

I was looking for something exactly like that

Well when you do get home please let me know

[opal osprey]

will do

[jaunty vortex]

I think you can build something capable for about half that.

Ryzen 5 5600G, 64/128GB DDR4 RAM, basic motherboard (A520 would do or B550 if you’re feeling rich), 1TB NVME PCI-3 storage, case and PSU.

[fathom basalt]

I will look into it

[distant hearth]

thats pretty much the route id go tbh , even if you brought all the parts new , in the uk right now, Total: £408.84 inc vat an shipping for 64gb ram ,
£508 for 128gb ram

oh i guess u might need an extra £10 for a windows pro license key

id also throw in a small 2.5" ssd for backups , just to have two backup copies on differnt drives

[jaunty vortex]

Or an external USB spinning drive. Either way, I don’t think you’ll need $1K

[distant hearth]

oh i used uk prices, usa prices are way cheaper

pretty sure u wont want a server unit sitting in your living room either haha, be ok if u had sound proofed garage or basement i guess

[jaunty vortex]

Mine sits under my desk. I have a BeQuiet 500 case and the CPU uses a cheap 240mm AIO water cooler mounted in the roof. It’s quiet.

Not going to need a big PSU either. Probably 300W would do all that with headroom to spare. Just don’t go cheap on it. If you can’t find reviews on mainstream hardware sites, don’t buy it.

[distant hearth]

i cud of cut that price down alot using cheap janky parts , prob shud said that, it was based on parts i thought were decent enough

[jaunty vortex]

You want it to be reliable though. Cheap and reliable don’t go together.

[distant hearth]

psu is deffo not the place to cheap out on

[green tangle]

Is there a way to set a maximum number of teslas that can be placed, other than turrets?

[jaunty vortex]

you only do it once. When you're buying everything for the second time you realise your mistake 😂

[distant hearth]

i used repair flat screen tvs before they went to led, as a hobby , most common failure, cheap arse capacitors on the psu blowing

i did a lil research before buying the psu in my current pc 🙂

[obtuse falcon]

anyone got any solutions? i have placed other ppls inis from there server into mine and still no luck

[distant hearth]

do you use a stack mod?

[obtuse falcon]

no

[distant hearth]

is for asa or ase?

[obtuse falcon]

i have base stacks at 2x and a few custom lines for mutton/prime/honey ect. ASA

Nitrado server

[distant hearth]

make sure its unde rthe correct header , cant just shove at the bottom of the ini
stop server, wait 5 mins, go in game ini add the lines under the
[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] header
save it, wait a minute
restart server, shud sort it out

[obtuse falcon]

ok ill check

[distant hearth]

asa has a tempoverrideheader that they use to make death bag green beams show up

[obtuse falcon]

Ah it was under that header. Moving and trying now thanks stay posted

[distant hearth]

it'll work in the correct place, ive seen dozens peple make the same mistake

the only two things that didnt stack via ini last i checked was rhynio pheromones an wyvern milk

[obtuse falcon]

Thank you so much this was definitely the issue! i knew it had to be something simple

[fathom basalt]

took a look at your idea, what do you use the rest for?

[opal osprey]

i've got proxmox installed and have it separated into Game Server (Ark, Conan, etc), Webserver, media Server, source control for 3d models for printing, etc and pi-hole to run a network wide ad-blocker and manage my network

[opal osprey]

DMed you the link to the one I ordered

[jagged garnet]

Anyone have a good mobile app recommendation for rcon on ASA servers? Don't mind a paid one along as it works well.

[still thunder]

yes i do did you find any solution?

[turbid aspen]

Source RCON failed to read packet length. Server failing to start. Any ideas?

[long elk]

Could anyone msg me and potentially give me a hand with my ark server recourse growth rate? Im looking at increasing it. I dont know what setting it is

[distant hearth]

gameusersetting.ini
under the header [serversettings]
ResourcesRespawnPeriodMultiplier=1

thats default value, lower value make them spawn back quicker, dont go below like 0.01 or it will likely default back to 1

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

[turbid aspen]

anyone has any suggestions for ASA Server Manager (Windows)?

[bold mason]

i use haru host

[plucky wren]

Some of my nitrado servers went down today during the steam crashes issue and I'm still not able to bring them back up...
Anyone else having this problem?

[pure haven]

there is a way to show death beams in asa?

[distant hearth]

yes , if you mean the green light that shines from above

[pure haven]

Yeah. Can you tell me how to enable it for server please or its a client side option?

[distant hearth]

add this header and line in game.ini

bUseCorpseLocator=True

@pure haven

[pure haven]

Thanks i will try it!

[pure haven]

Can i also get a link please? Planning on upgrading our server rig

[distant hearth]

sry just edited it , i had a thingy on end shudnt been there

[wind finch]

I am trying to make it so dinosaurs of lower level can't really spawn on my server how do I do that and how do I change the max level cuz everything literally everything is level 10 and under right now

[jagged garnet]

Look up windows game server manager. WGSM has a addon for just about any game you can think of.

[flint oasis]

Anyone having inventory issues? have to log out because you cant access shit or accessing it and then getting kicked

[kindred bison]

Is there a way to increase the structure limit on the Zeppelin? It looks like the setting to change it is separate from platform saddles and rafts.

[undone hearth]

Hello everyone, after the restart, does the timer start again for the destruction of buildings? Is there a way to solve this?

[last magnet]

turn off autodestroy tbh, I have autodestroy off + a 3.5x decay timer on my private cluster, haven't had any issues with timers.

[agile flower]

Is there a cross ark chat plugin for asa? (for servers in a cluster)

[lunar sorrel]

Sounds like spam, lots of it.

[celest halo]

theres LACC: Lily and Azure's Cluster Chat i have never used it

[terse badger]

so I put the following commands serverplatform and publicipforepic on my dedicated server, will my friends on playstation be able to join even tho I play on pc? Im using my laptop to host the server and playing the game on my desktop

and if it does work can someone help me by joining it, I dont wanna get them the game and not have it work, pls pls pls Ive been asking around for about an hr for someone to join it would help a lot

[distant hearth]

the server is for ark evolved or ark ascended?

[pure haven]

im using Discord Chat ServerAPI Plugin on my cluster

[pure haven]

enable both pve and pvp decay on your servers. that solved issue with decay timers for me

[last hornet]

This one works well

[terse badger]

ark ascended

[distant hearth]

then there crossplay by default, the publicipforepic is an old ase commad for epic game version of ase.
you running the server via stm cmd with a batch file?

[terse badger]

Yes, I followed this video exactly

ARK: Survival Ascended Dedicated Server
Setup | Host a FREE private server | Full Guide by troublechute

[distant hearth]

alot of the videos are old, outdated or jus plain wrong tbh ,
heres an example of a working asa batch file
Start ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?SessionName="my server name" -port=7778 -winlivemaxplayers=10
if put in the same place as the.exe it will launch the server, call it my server name, use port 7778 udp for connection and limit it to 10 players

by default there cross platform

[terse badger]

Oh alright great thank you very much I really appreciate this! 😄

[distant hearth]

ok watching this video i get to 6 mins and theres mutiple mistakes in it lolz, i'll dm you a txt guide

[undone hearth]

@pure haven Can you suggest a specific parameter please, I will be grateful?

[pure haven]

DisableStructureDecayPvE=False
DisableDinoDecayPvE=False
PvPDinoDecay=True
PvPStructureDecay=True
PvPDinoDecayPeriodMultiplier=1
PvPStructureDecayPeriodMultiplier=1
PvEDinoDecayPeriodMultiplier=1
PvEStructureDecayPeriodMultiplier=1

all this goes to GUS.ini

[undone hearth]

@pure haven Thank you very much

[undone hearth]

@pure haven For some reason, when I start the server, these parameters are returned to their original settings, can you please tell me what’s wrong?

[compact goblet]

best element/tribute item server transfer mod out there?

[pure haven]

Did you apply those settings when server was still running? You need to close down server and then add those. Also you self hosting or nitrado?

[undone hearth]

@pure haven I turned off the server, applied the settings, turned on the server, the settings were rolled back. Server on a private machine

[pure haven]

Thats weird. Im not sure what might cause it then

[onyx gale]

Hey just popping in to double check something before I do it.

If I reinstall a server, after the install I can go to "restore backup" and choose a recent backup, yes? Restore backups doesn't get wiped on a reinstall?

Follow-up question, are those the backups I have to choose from or can I force it to save a new one before I start?

[nocturne kelp]

Hey can pls somebody help me with my ini?

[distant hearth]

check you dont have anything in commandline that cud override them

[distant hearth]

you will likely lose all backups reinstalling a nitrado server.
you wud want to ftp connect to it an manually take backups before doing that

[onyx gale]

Cool thank you, I'm ftp-ing in right now to look for the backups

[distant hearth]

just take a copy of the entire saved folder, then a copy of the two ini files

[onyx gale]

Oh that's easy enough

[undone hearth]

@distant hearth @pure haven Thank you very much for your great help, everything turned out and works, I didn’t use the config, my bad server manager

[onyx gale]

When you go to restore, do you just replace the entire saved folder as well? The nitrado tutorial video is for evolved and seems to be different from what I'm looking at right now in ftp

Is that a yes? Sorry I'm terrified of wiping my server by accident 😅

[distant hearth]

yes sry, once you have those saved files on your own computer , then they can be installed to any other server at any point an restore the same place its at now

[onyx gale]

Perfect thanks, I appreciate the assurance 😂

[bleak ivy]

isn't the config folder in the saved folder?

or do you mean the world save folder lol. like per map

[distant hearth]

probably, i cudnt be arsed to look tbh

for most people i find it easir that they just copy the whole saved folder, i always used have the pull files i wanted, slow internet lol

[bleak ivy]

its better to save the entire Saved folder anyway. lots of stuff like the cloud, config, mod settings folder(at least in ASA some mods have their own folder), etc. not just the save file

in ASE, there were also multiple folders for all the maps but seems ASA has them all in one.

[analog oracle]

Mods can you please tell me if you guys have seen reports from server owners about render problems? Like in my server, everytime someone leaves their base and come back the base takes a shit ton of time to render, this has been happening on aberration only. Is this a known issue?

Sometimes they dont even render

Only by reloging

[bleak ivy]

haven't seen that. I haven't been watching discord today tho. probably just server issues 🤷 desync can cause that.

[rapid gorge]

Hey guys. Can somebody pls give ma a nice Game.ini and GameUserSettings.ini that would be super nice 🙂

[stiff swift]

Does anyone know any smaller mods that contain the Desmos creature for download on dedis?

[vale compass]

Look for "ASA Manager" it is free dedicated server manager. It will generate those files for you.

[celest halo]

the default ones are nice and clean 🤣

[rapid gorge]

Nah man

[jagged garnet]

Anyone know of any decent rcon mobile apps?

[proud cobalt]

hey guys can we still only rent servers from nitrado?

[olive talon]

Yes

[proud cobalt]

Cool thank you

[terse badger]

Sorry I was busy and yea for sure man, I won’t be home till 10pm tho cause of work tho

[obtuse falcon]

What do I need to make breeding cool down like 1-2 minutes ?

[lean marlin]

Hello I am a co-owner of an unofficial PVE cluster and we have been trying to to figure out how to spawn in the easy craft blueprints (BP that only take one material to craft). It is our understanding that it is either a setting that we can use or it’s a line of code that we need to put into our servers. Any help or understanding on this would be greatly appreciated

[molten elbow]

does anyone know if this is in game days or rl days? ChatLogMaxAgeInDays

[proud prism]

Do new patch to fix joining to server pls. i have no way to join because of last patch

[solid tide]

I have a player that cant join the server. they try to spawn and it boots them to the mai menu. Anyone know if its possible to force them into upload?

[proud prism]

I have the same problem. It started to happen after v52.36. The developers broke something and only some have such difficulties. I updated everything that was possible, checked everything. It is impossible to join anywhere. I am waiting for a new update to fix this problem

[subtle gyro]

whats the command to teleport someone to me on a server

theyre stuck and i cant seem to get any command to work

[olive talon]

Cheat TeleportPlayerIDToMe <ID>

[subtle gyro]

with or without the <

[olive talon]

Or if that doesn't work,

Cheat TeleportPlayerNameToMe <Name>

[olive talon]

Without

It's just used to let you know what goes where

[subtle gyro]

its not working :/

[olive talon]

Using cheat and making sure they're enabled?

Enablecheats <password>

[subtle gyro]

yeah i did that too

i can enable cheats for myself to fly and shit

[olive talon]

Using the correct ID?

[subtle gyro]

steam id or ListPlayers ID

ive tried both

[olive talon]

If you're on Ascended, it uses the eosID

[subtle gyro]

how do i get the eos ID

[olive talon]

If you type showmyadminmanager
It should pull up the players connected, the ID will be next to their name

[subtle gyro]

Cheat TeleportPlayerIDToMe 698151799
did not work

im so confused why its not working

i can teleport to them but cant teleport them to me wtf

@olive talon any ideas?

[olive talon]

Well if the tp commands aren't working, you could give them the admin password for them to fly/ghost out, and then just change the password

[subtle gyro]

i guess

thats really weird its not working

[olive talon]

It's annoying but it's if you cannot tp them out then that's probably the next best thing

[lunar cloud]

that doesn't look like an EOS id to me, they're much longer on my server

[wooden tartan]

Hello folks. Do you guys know if the summer bash has been added to the game yet. I would like to remove it if it will save.

[serene depot]

having transfer issues and server not showing up in terminals or transmitters

[serene depot]

cheat teleportplayernametome

then the name (ign)

having transfer issues and server not showing up in terminals or transmitters any help would be great

[serene depot]

Question

[distant hearth]

yes its in base game now

[distant hearth]

if you cant see the server from terminal its an issue with the cluster id not matching

[serene depot]

i figured it out

[serene depot]

not the ID its the payers in game name

cheat teleportplayernametome ign

[subtle gyro]

Tried both player id and player name teleport commands and they don't work

Idk why

[lusty wagon]

Hey, is there a setting to activate building in the Portal Region and Red Zone (PVE)?

[subtle gyro]

Oooh good question

[distant hearth]

game.ini
bIgnoreStructuresPreventionVolumes=true

[coral steeple]

how would we change the path designations of the gameusersettings/game ini files? can there be a specified path for each server?

[lapis quest]

Anyone else that runs plugins/mods noticed bases taking ages to render while you log in?

[frail heron]

I'm currently learning to build my own ARK Api plugins with C++. Is it possible to speed up the dedicated server by stripping down some settings? My problem is, that I often crash the server with my code fiddling and it takes 5-10 minutes to get it up again, so that I can try another code.

[tropic needle]

Hello 👋 Sorry to ask a googlable question but how do I get all structures to be locked on pve server. Thankyou, have fun.

[distant hearth]

ForceAllStructureLocking=true

[distant hearth]

nitrado server? my self host will boot in under 2 minutes most time

[frail heron]

no, we have a dedicated virtual Windows machine.

[distant hearth]

i dont think it shud be taking then long then tbh, unless its got loads mods an lot structures all over the map

[frail heron]

Anyway, I would like to find out if there are settings, apart from removing all mods, that could speed it up. Is there a startup setting for starting it with low memory or limited graphic power?

[distant hearth]

none of those work for asa servers as far as im aware

[frail heron]

oh, not asa, it's ase

[distant hearth]

oh i see, yea thers asome i believe, take a look here,
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#Command_line_options

[celest halo]

Dedicated servers don't use GPU

[main gyro]

You are in here all the time, you deserve a helper role or mod 😂

[distant hearth]

oh no , that dont sound good, if i have bit free time i try help out, alot people helped me alot over the years when i was learning about setting up servers etc , so just paying it forward 🙂

[flint oasis]

@distant hearth Hey! You're usually really knowledgeable on this stuff. We are getting an inventory bug at the moment. Structures we've placed and game structures (i.e. drops, and charging stations). This happens on random feeding troughs, tables, etc. We have an issue where we cannot access these items and it is random. We have to log out and back in to fix it. Killing our toons doesn't work. Been trying to figure out if this is a mod issue, server issue, or official issue. Two mods that may be a problem are Visual Storage and Pull It. Have you heard anything? Anyone Heard anything? About this problem. Thank you!

[distant hearth]

i think its a game issue at the moment tbh ....
numerous people having same issue, modded an un modded, only workaround seems to be relog. or worse case scenario pick the item an put it back down again, i know cookers on ab having issues not showing mushroom broth an the only fix is pick up cooker an put back down

[flint oasis]

Oh thank god lol Thank you! Hopefully it is fixed soon it is driving us insane 😛

[distant hearth]

theres a major patch due this week, hopefully it fixes alot the little issues , fingers crossed

[flint oasis]

Definitely! Fingers crossed here too! Thanks again!

[pseudo python]

whats the command for nitrado server game.ini that i farm more silica pearls? bcs i get only 50 with 1 pearl and i want 200

[daring lion]

Hey i had this same issue we removed all the storage mods re added them to the server and go everyone to wipe their mods list clean and then re install and it fixed it. I would place like a arkomatic forge and it would place a tek rep and im like wtf XD even without having the engrams unlocked was wild.

BTW the pull it mod the developer stopped working on the project and in his bio even says it is buggy so use at your own risk i know people like the mod but its a gample to run so that might be half your issue there screwing up item ids when they get pulled somehow

[flint oasis]

Thanks for the info!

[tropic needle]

Yeah I thought that was the case, however all the structures just say unlocked now 😅

[wise kindle]

Pick them up and put them down again.

[tropic needle]

Thank you! That sorted the issue!

[wind finch]

How do I change the mating speed I want to change it because it's going to take 13 hours for them to me and I want it to be like an hour

[feral hull]

How would I go about troubleshooting this when joining a server? I verified twice. :/

Assertion failed: Cmd.Type == REPCMD_PropertyObject [File:F:\build\LostIsland\Engine\Source\Runtime\Engine\Private\RepLayout.cpp] [Line: 1388] 

[lapis quest]

That should be a mod failing to load

Delete all mod folders (those named with a number) and download them again

ARK\ShooterGame\Content\Mods

[feral hull]

Got it, could it be that it's server side or strictly the client?

[lapis quest]

Could be both, especially since steam hated working togheter with evolved auto updating mods

Give a try on your client, it wont take too long to re-install them

[feral hull]

You recommend disabling AutoManageMod? Considering shits not likely to update anyways?

[lapis quest]

Well, if you dont use it, get rid of it

Dont forget that you need to unfollow on the workshop if you plan to remove from your game (+ deleting the folder)

[feral hull]

Yea, I'm going to cut the mods from client and server entirely and go 1 by 1, with the full reinstall. Then if one mod is broke broke I'll know right.

Appreciate the help!

[tepid berry]

AutoManageMod has never given me issues.

Don't know why so many say to disable it.

[feral hull]

Sorry to be a pain again. Been a while since hosting and I guess I'm not great at it since.

I have 4 running servers and with the default GUS and they cluster just fine. As soon as I swap the GUS.ini for my custom one I can't query the other latter 3. All my ports and connection info are set as start-up parameters per instance. All that changes between working and not-working is all 4 using the same default GUS, versus all 4 using the same custom GUS so I have to assume it's the custom GUS but don't know why.

Is there anything else that would cause the latter 3 to not Query?

[clever trail]

Any ASA Windows "Pro's" online atm?

Would anyone with the paid version of beacon be willing to share an ini line to allow yi ling to spawn in the redwoods on the island? (yes I'm stashing some plant z seeds in the obelisk storage for this very purpose)

Any server owners out there with players that have the Zeppelin boat and it is horizontal instead of vertical? We asked the player to uninstall all their mods and if not reinstall the whole game yet it sounds like they didn’t fix it - curious if anyone has run across a solution?

Hey yall, I'm new to the server here buuuut I am trying to find an actual answer to a question if anyone could kindly help or lead me into the correct info.....Last I knew, ark survival ascended was crossplay but I can't seem to find the right answers. Just old stuff. There's 2 of us trying to google it. We are trying to crossplay ps5 to xbox. Please any assistance would be awesome and super appreciated

Non-dedicated has no crossplay functionality, if that's what you're trying to use

To be honest we have no idea what we are doing. This is the first time for crossplay. But i believe it would be non-dedicated. With that, how would we do dedicated? We are on the same wifi also

Any gurus around atm? lol - i have 4 dedicated servers up and running. I can see them on battelmetrics. i cannot connect to them using the ip found in battlemetrics however. They are all running on the same machine that is sitting on my desk in my office. I am on my laptop downstairs. Now I can connect with the game to each server using the open command 'IF' I use the local IP (ie 168.192.1.xx:port#) i tried each server and they are all up and running. now here is the issue - i have them all on the same cluster but I cannot see that cluster when I go to a 'tek transmitter' or 'obelisk' - when I pull up the list to see servers on the cluster there is nothing at all /facepalm.... any ideas what i have done wrong?

sounds like a port forwarding issue, the servers need to be reachable via public IP seen on battle metrics. If you can't reach that IP\port combination, then you wont be able to join from the in-game menus and wont be able to xfer from transmitters\obelisks
You need to port-forward from the router\device where the traffic is coming in to the local IP of the server.
Also need to be sure the server (windows) firewall is allowing the ports to be connectable from public internet. It may be configured to allow via LAN, but not via internet.
You can use tools like nmap , just google it, to scan your public IP and port to see if ports are listening or blocked. If they are blocked, its either port forward not correct or firewall blocking it

ok - thanks for this. now just to be certain I understand everything. I am running the servers on a local win10 desktop pc - so i need to check firewall there for being connectable? do I do anything on my laptop i am using for the game client? and my lan/router - i set port forwarding on that?
