[bleak ivy]

you need a PC to host a dedicated server. being on the same wi-fi does mean you don't need to port-forward.

are you on ASE?

[lunar cloud]

yeah there are generally 3 show stoppers. 1 - your router, that by default does not forward ports, and that needs to be setup to forward ports to the local IP of your server
2 - the server itself blocking the ports (windows firewall) , sometimes if you have anti virus, it can also block ports
3 - ISP could block ports too (but its rare)
Need to be sure when doing all this that you use UDP ports, and ASA only uses 1 port per server, the queryport stuff is not for ASA

so if you run a server on port 7777 make sure UDP is forwarded on router, and a firewall rule exists to allow UDP 7777
Then all other servers maps you want to run, bump the port number , I.E 7778 UDP , etc.

[untold mason]

currentli i am using ports 7779,7780,7781,7782 and i can connect to each

[bleak ivy]

are you on ASE or ASA?

[untold mason]

connect to the game with my client ASA

i just cannot see a cluster

[bleak ivy]

are you sure the cluster is setup properly it should work via LAN now, so port-forwarding isn't the issue if you aren't using a VPN to connect.

[untold mason]

nope- no vpn - just doing 'open 168.192.1.19:7779' or the other port#

this open load the game

i would think is sonethign to do with cluster since i can get on each server with the game clietn

[bleak ivy]

double check on the cluster ID and cluster folder.
does ark data go through properly?

[untold mason]

let me get a copy of the start file code for the cluster - 1sec - sorry gonna go to other room and look

[lunar cloud]

can you join your server\s from the in-game unofficial menu ?
If not, then its port forwarding issue and clustering will not work either
If you can connect using the connect command, it generally works because you are on the same network as the server. Clustering will use public IP network path, so it also needs port-forward to work

[bleak ivy]

they would still be connecting through LAN, so port-forwarding doesn't matter. unless manually changed (router stuff) or using a VPN. it'll default to using LAN. even if it is port-forwarded correctly.
it was a major problem in ASE since LAN connections were in their own tab and would break clusters since that only shows the unofficial tab.

[untold mason]

ok. all 4 startup files have the exact same 'clusterid=<name>' and '-ClusterDirOverride=<PATH>'

[bleak ivy]

clusterid also has the - right?

[untold mason]

yes

argument seperated by '?'

[bleak ivy]

its a - not a ?, make sure they also have a space before it

[untold mason]

yes - space b4 the '-' argument ends in '?' followed by space

[bleak ivy]

don't think they have ? afterwards. let me check mine

[untold mason]

so it is -clusterid=<name>? -ClusterDirOverride=<PATH>?

[bleak ivy]

the ? is for other settings that go right next to eachother and no spaces

[jovial venture]

I don't know if this is where I would ask this question, but... I just joined an unofficial server with mods, I am having problems using wall and floor decor on my ps5. I don't really even understand what it is someone said it's S+mode ??? Does that work on ps5????

[bleak ivy]

yeah, no ? after clusterid.

[untold mason]

ok

[bleak ivy]

maybe that was the issue?

[untold mason]

will pull it - fall asleep and try fresh in the morning when i have had coffee lol - thanks a ton for the help

[bleak ivy]

probably would need to ask in the mods discord. if its a crossplay mod then it should be controller compatible.

[tough oracle]

Is there an ini setting to enable any color on a wild dino without having to use a mod? I saw it done on ASE Xbox so there has to be

[feral hull]

So, I'm running multiple instances on the same installation through LinuxGSM. The start-up parameters for rconport is always going to write to the GUS.ini which is shared amongst 4 instances each time a server loads. Is it safe to read-only the GUS once I'm done with it? (I'd like to be able to RCON correctly).

[lunar cloud]

i read only my GUS file and use rcon as startup params. worked well for ASA and ASE

[dapper spear]

What command is everyone using to close down there servers? Quit? I feel like I'm having a lot of character loss on my servers. . . anyone find a solution?

[lunar cloud]

use an RCON utility, then send commands saveworld and doexit
It will force server to flush data to save file on disk and terminate gracefully

[humble thicket]

Can a PC user join my non-dedicated PS5 ARK?

[olive talon]

Nondedicated is not crossplay.

[humble thicket]

Ye i just realized crossplay only for official and unofficial servers, right?😔

[olive talon]

Yes. Official, unofficial, and dedicated are all crossplay on Ascended

[pallid radish]

So only Nitrado servers are on the public server list still or is it just me not having my self hosted server not showing?

[vital minnow]

only nitrado, they still have exculsive rights for another 2 years

[lunar cloud]

self hosted + nitrado is under unofficial

[subtle gyro]

You have to check the box under unofficial that says "show player servers" to see self hosted servers

[wicked vigil]

In non dedicated, how do i give my friend Admin?

[kind kestrel]

Can i transfer with emryos?

[bleak ivy]

This channel is for discussion about unofficial (or single player) server setup including mods and other relevant topics.
use #bobs-with-probs.
if you mean reaper I believe so. never tried tho

[kind kestrel]

My bad, ty i didnt realize what tab i was in

[sharp vessel]

Hello there !
I'm trying to stack all the items by 5000 on my servers, everything is working except Yutyrannus eggs, here's my setting :
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_Egg_Yuty_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=5000,bIgnoreMultiplier=true))
This parameter is not working, can someone tell me why ?

[hard rapids]

if you'd just like to multiply all stack sizes by 5000 you can change ItemStackSizeMultiplier in gus.ini

[sharp vessel]

I know it, but I don't want structures items or other things like that to be stack at 5000. I want consumables, ressources to be at 5000 only

[hard rapids]

ah

that code looks correct, no idea why it wouldnt work

[sharp vessel]

Yes, I tried to CC with the Rex eggs parameter which is working, but this one, impossible to make it works

I tried to see if, by random thing, if Yuty eggs were from mod and nope, there's from the core game, so I'm assuming, the id of the egg is not what is wrote

[hard rapids]

both beacon and wiki show PrimalItemConsumable_Egg_Yuty_C

how are you collecting the yuty eggs ingame?

[sharp vessel]

Some by the SCS Terminal from Super Cryo Storage, some by the Aggregator of Cybers Structures and finally pulling them into fridges

All are stacking by 500

[hard rapids]

default is 100, so if they stack by 500 they might not be generating normal yuty eggs

spawn in eggs using gfi to see if they stack to 5000?

[sharp vessel]

I tried, they are stacking with the other at 500

I have the ItemStackSizeMultiplier=5 active, so it's normal if they go to 500, but that's not normal that this command for Yuty eggs is not working tho xD

[hard rapids]

the thing is if the gfi for yuty eggs is working then thats definitely the right egg

[sharp vessel]

Ye'p, this thing make me confused, I can't understand why the Yuty egg parameter is not working atm 😭

[hard rapids]

rex eggs work though? if you remove the rex egg line does the yuty egg line work

[sharp vessel]

Yeah, rex eggs work perfectly

[pure haven]

Does anyone have proper gfi codes or class names for Scorched Earth chibis? i trying to add them with beacon but nothing works. trying to spawn them and it also not working - getting "Not allow to spawn on this map message"

thanks! its so weird that i can spawn them with giveitem bp path command but cant use gfi command with class names

[patent flint]

Is it normal that when travelling between maps in Singleplayer to always end up kicked from the tribe? Not being able to transfer with inventory and having to upload every time seems 💩y enough already, but not being able to spawn at a bed oof

[gloomy gale]

Does anyone know if AllowSharedConnections=true still work on ark survival evolved still work?

[grim horizon]

good afternoon, Ark. I am working on setting up a server through windows. However I can not get my server to show up on the ark unofficial list.

I went to github and down loaded CA1 however I can not get CA r2m02 to download. The link doesnt seem to want to work

[distant hearth]

ark ascended or ark evolved? windows home version or a server version ? if so what server version ?

[grim horizon]

ascended, home version and 52.27 in think is the server version

[distant hearth]

sry i meant server version of windows, you dont need to mess with those certificates on a windows home version .
how did you set the server up ? via some sort manager or manually ?

[grim horizon]

ark server creation tool

[distant hearth]

ok not famliar with the tool as i do mine manually , but did you forward what ever port you set in the tool ,through windows firewall and your router

[woven agate]

hey i'm trying to change max lvl of wild dinos from 150 to 300

but it keeps reverting back to 1.0 difficulty

anybody know why it does that and how to keep it from doing it

[olive talon]

Change it in your ini files, the slider will always go back to 1.

[woven agate]

i did

i only change it in the ini files

i then save it restart teh game wipe all dinos and wait just for them to be lvl 150

[olive talon]

Okay, the slider will stay at 1 regardless of your ini settings, but your game difficulty will be whatever you set it as in your ini.

If you're referring to level distribution, you have to overwrite spawns or use a mod.

[woven agate]

i set it to 10 in ini files, load world and then it resets to 1

[celest halo]

Thats half the problem if your saving the ini then restarting the server, you need to stop the server fully before making any changes to the ini file then start the server

[woven agate]

not server, singplayer

and with restarting i mean booting the game up again

i'ma try difficulty 5 to see if 10 is to much

[olive talon]

The slider will always be at 1. If you have changed your ini files to 10, or whatever number, then that is what your game will follow, but levels do not distribute properly on the story maps, so it will be harder to find 150s without a mod to fix it or by overwriting spawns.

[woven agate]

am on a modded map

[raven wigeon]

no update on pvt servers yet?

[woven agate]

and it reset itseslf to 1 difficulty again...

[distant hearth]

not yet

in pinned messages is a link to the steam db, u can watch there to see when it goes live

public are the private servers, nitraopc is nitrado side, but they norm then take an other chunk time before releasing it

asalive is the official servers

[olive talon]

The slider or the ini

[distant hearth]

unofficial just got the update, server side 🙂

[quartz flower]

It’s already out? Usually takes like an hour

[native wave]

times range from minutes to hours...to days....sometimes never (for non-major versions)

[quartz flower]

The major patches do seem to be quicker sometimes

[celest halo]

Majors are normally faster the minors

[grizzled plover]

I updated my client and my whole server cluster but can't see any unofficial servers in list anyone else having this problem

[native wave]

yeah since majors kind of get in the way of...you know...actually playing lol

[celest halo]

Majors also cause a denial of playing on a server when client updates but server can't 🤣

[distant hearth]

still waiting on the downloads, be lucky if i get them done before bed lolz

[native wave]

2.8GB patch on steam

[distant hearth]

the lil hamster in my router is running fast as it can

11 mbps, very good for me lolz

[celest halo]

Mine be going over drive, if I run my Ansible script, updating 5 servers at once 🤣

[native wave]

I'll update my servers when post patch hype dies down

[woven agate]

i got the higher difficulty to work, i just needed to add an extra line ot text

[celest halo]

I'll probably wait till I get home from work to do mine (about 2 and half hours) instead of VPN in and doing it now lol

[tough oracle]

My servers aren’t showing up?

Post update

[distant hearth]

first thing to check is server version, make sure there actually updated

in the actual server window

[tough oracle]

52.27?

[distant hearth]

#patch-notes shud be on v53.1 server side

[tough oracle]

Rip

[analog oracle]

I wonder why there were no mentions of the structure rendering issues on Aberration

[tough oracle]

Ok ty

[analog oracle]

this seems like a pretty major issue

[dapper spear]

For steam CMD how is everyone closing there cluster from console window. just quit?

is there a way to save too?

[distant hearth]

cheat saveworld
cheat doexit

[raven wigeon]

Dino follow is crap on aberration,take ages for a dino to get in the house!

[autumn eagle]

Gotta love waiting for server side updates to roll out.

[olive talon]

@autumn eagle

[autumn eagle]

Unfortunately, it hasn't shown up for my server yet.

[distant hearth]

if its nitrado, you have to wait for them to roll out updates there side , the files are released, both my stmcmd are updated an running

[autumn eagle]

The first 3 words of your sentence are the problem.

[distant hearth]

they dont get the nickname shitrado for ne reason

[surreal tinsel]

Is there a way to change structure limit on zeppelin? Doesn’t seem to move with rafts/platforms/platform saddles.

[distant hearth]

none thats known atm

[surreal tinsel]

Had a feeling, thanks

[vital perch]

any other host services that dont charge more that nitrado allow all crossplay for asa and mods?

[slender shale]

anyone know why show InstancedFoliage wouldnt be working on a private dedi server?

[trim wadi]

Hi There, for ASA, just checking if the AWS certificate crl is still required to set up a windows server? port forwarding works, we can join manually through console commands, but the servers dont appear on the server list. tested with and without -multihome=xLAN IPx , and with and without -serverip=xPublic IPx. setup used to work on ASA launch, so ports etc are still working fine for other servers we host. the ASA servers do show up on Battlemetrics

[surreal tinsel]

Download epic games launcher

That fixed ours and got it visible

[distant hearth]

all asa servers are crossplay by default

[trim wadi]

thank you. i appreciate it 🙂

[jaunty vortex]

saveworld
doexit

[distant hearth]

depends on what version of windows , its needed for windows server versions i believe,

[trim wadi]

Windows Server 2022. I'm installing epic launcher now as a test.

[subtle gyro]

what command do i put into my GSM to save the server

[vital perch]

i want to know which ones are trustworthy to host on before i pay for them. and if they allow mods to be added if the settings are able to be adjusted like i can on nitrado, and if its cheaper

[distant hearth]

nitrado are the only ones allowed to host asa if you want to just rent a server thats already setup.
if you want to spend the time an effort to learn how to install an setup your server then you can use any server supplier aslong as the machine/vm has enough resources to actually run the server

[jaunty vortex]

Probably anything you rent will be better spec than Nitrado 😂

[distant hearth]

seen one person try to run it on a 4gb ram vm , needless to say it wudnt even load the server b4 crashing

[jaunty vortex]

You’re lucky to boot Windows in 4

Bet they had 20 mods on there too.

[distant hearth]

no idea tbh , just i laughed an said , nope u need 16gb minimum to save headaches

[wise kindle]

So, attacking with a pyromane might crash your client

they seem to have broken it

[distant hearth]

not really suprising though lmao, theres a few other things insta crash game too if u look in the general crying chat

[wise kindle]

oh no dont send me over there

[celest halo]

they will start on 12gb with a couple of mods lmao (not recommended for more then 1-2 players)

[distant hearth]

my island server drops down to between 6- 8gb at idle but theres virtually nothing on it and only half dozen mods , i guess its all relative to use case

[celest halo]

mine sits about 10-12 with 6 mods and 2 good size bases lol

[distant hearth]

what mods out of curiosity?
mine has,
shiny dino, custom dino levels, utilities plus, super cryo storage , easy honey hive and pull it

shiny dino must add some ram useage as it despawns and respawns dino sover time

[celest halo]

Dino Depot, Awesome Spyglass!, Shiny! Dinos Ascended, Cybers Structures QoL+ (Crossplay), Arkitect Structures Remastered

down to 5 now, used to also have Super Spyglass Plus lol

[distant hearth]

how is qol+? , i think ima add an drop my hives , it looks to me like a copy of the old splus features

[celest halo]

might put Super Spyglass Plus back on, as the mod author for Awesome Spyglass is on a coding break so it hasnt been updated in awhile

Cybers Structures is good, mod auther is active and does updates all the time

[distant hearth]

i find the spyglass mods a bit op, so use utilities plus for the early tek bino , just a personal prefernce

[celest halo]

and Cybers Structures items that you can put poded dinos in is compatible with DD and SCS

[distant hearth]

the resuable bola an that i guess a bit op, but not like there hard to make lolz

hmm i think i can just use cs qol+, shiny dino , custom dino level and u+
4 is better than 6 🙂 , thx
nvm forgot cryo mod, 5 lol

[jaunty vortex]

On mine I have:
Super Cryo Storage (933099)
Death Recovery Mod (930404)
JVH Blueprint Maker (951440)
MarniiMods Hairstyles (949521)
Nevermore Taxidermy (949298)
Utilities Plus (928621)

[haughty cairn]

anyone noticed an issue with weight stats after the update? we have ours increased on dinos, and now seems broken

[dapper spear]

Thats ingame only right? I type that in on the console and it doesnt do anything

[distant hearth]

cheat doexit , then hitting enter works fine for me(closes down server)
looking at my save files, save world is not working though ......
i guess i will have to look at setting rcon to do a manual save out of game grrr

[round badger]

hi everyon i have a question i just read i can add hats to small dinos but when i go to add the top hat or the witch hat to my otter or pengiun i cant is there a reason y im playing ase

[distant hearth]

you need to attach the hat to a helmet first, then put that on the dino

[round badger]

oh ty

oh sweet ty it worked

[fallen jolt]

Does anyone have the command to unlock the tek bed?

[dim geyser]

doing just exit on the server cmd line will shutdown with a save

[distant hearth]

you sir are a legend, tyvm, works are charm 🙂

[distant hearth]

thx to above, just type in exit an hit enter

[dim geyser]

anything with do- prefix, I believe could be wrong, means along the lines of force or short for skip everything do(immediate) this command. like dotame is forcetame.

[distant hearth]

makes sense

[wooden tartan]

Can you use dynamic config to chage PvEStructureDecayPeriodMultiplier=2?

[haughty cairn]

Is ASA supposed have a wild dino ammount cap of 5k on Ab?

[wooden tartan]

Looks like you can on ASE but I'm not sure for ASA.

[plain atlas]

ik this must had been asked before but im using my own dedicated server and i cant find it since the update

[distant hearth]

check its running the latest version v53.1

[plain atlas]

its at 52.27 batfile

how would i update it

[distant hearth]

thats why u cant see it, needs be v53.1
how did u install it?

[plain atlas]

steamcmd and then created a start.bat

[distant hearth]

whats in the start.bat file?

[plain atlas]

echo comands

i cant post it the chat thinks im spaming

[distant hearth]

did u copy from a youtube channel?

you can just copy the text from it and the post that here

[plain atlas]

it wont let me i send it to u

[patent ember]

Almost 7 hours since the update and Nitrado still hasn't pushed the update for our cluster 🙄

[distant hearth]

dont try to send the file, open it in notepad, then copy the text an paste the txt here

[plain atlas]

i did it wont let me

[distant hearth]

it shud be out by now ,try manually restarting the server

[plain atlas]

says im spaming

[distant hearth]

dm me it then if you want

[patent ember]

I've restarted all 6 servers manually and they're all still at 52.27

[plain atlas]

did check

[distant hearth]

yea u copied some shit off youtube that dont work 🙂
i can run you through fixing it, do you know the locations(filepaths) that stm cmd and the server files are installed at ?

[plain atlas]

yes i have a server folder and a steamcmd folder

[hardy finch]

I use 'exit' in the console for shutting down the server. Been doing this for nearly a year. I have not had any issues with it never saving any of my maps.

[distant hearth]

so you will want to make a new batch file for updating the server , just name it update.bat or w.e u want really
then copy this txt to it but change the locations to where yours are installed ,
start "" "C:\SteamCMD\steamcmd.exe" +force_install_dir "C:\Arkserver1" +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate +quit

[plain atlas]

ok locations would be for both folders?

[distant hearth]

then edit your current batch start.bat with this
start server\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe Aberration_WP?SessionName="xxxx?ServerPassword=xxxx?ServerAdminPassword=xxxx -Port=7777 -WinLiveMaxPlayers=4 -NoBattlEye

ive put xxxx instead of your data

[distant hearth]

yes you need to change both locations to the locations you used

yours has, this,
start SteamCMD\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir ..\server\ +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate +quit
i actually have no idea where that wud install too , maybe .. is just local drive so it wud be at
c:\server
you will have to look an see

[plain atlas]

im checking

[distant hearth]

someone really need to tell that youtube dude his video is entirely wrong, mutiple people a week come in with the same issues

[plain atlas]

i think it work

sorry im just new at all of this including pc

[distant hearth]

not your fault, all got learn , others in here helped me alot too, still learning too, 🙂

[plain atlas]

it update it 53.1 but it still wont show up

[distant hearth]

check in the server window when its running that it is on 53.1

[plain atlas]

ok ill re check

[distant hearth]

shows up fine for me

[plain atlas]

i press update again and is loading maybe it was that

[distant hearth]

unofficial tab, show passowrd protected, tick ,
show player servers , tick

i search ancient an hit enter

it now shows the 4 play count too, before u had it wrong so it was showing 0/70

[plain atlas]

i think i lost my save

[distant hearth]

ermm shudnt of , it shows up as on day 11

[plain atlas]

not me i check mine i tryed mine now sorry my friend entered and they gotta start all over

sec

i think they did something wrong never mid

they gonna recheck

[distant hearth]

np , anytime you need to update it in future, just run that update.bat u have now 👍

[plain atlas]

it worked ty so much

[grand hull]

What is the ini setting that will increase the amount of percentage I get per imprint?

[distant hearth]

BabyImprintAmountMultiplier
=1 is default

[untold mason]

hello, i am back with the same problem i had a few months ago /facepalm - i cannot get my servers running on the other machine in the other room to be seen as part of my cluster. I have checked, double checked, and lastnight was here and verified again that I am using the correct '-clusterid=<CLUSTER_NAME>' and '-ClusterDirOverride=<PATH>' in my start.bat files for my servers. I have gone to windows firewall and added ports 7779-7782 to be open as these are the ports i used in the start files for each of the 4 maps. I have gone to my router and added port forwarding for 7779-7782 as well. I can open each server and load it in the game client with the 'open 10.0.0.35:7779' or the other ports so i know the servers are working and i can connect. i just cant seem to get to where i can move between them

not sure what has changed /facepalm

[distant hearth]

do the server show up in the in game menu when searching for them , have you tried looking for them on battlemetrics website to see what port there actually using?

[untold mason]

no they do not show up - i can see them on battlemetrics though

[distant hearth]

if they are showing as using the ports u set them in battlemetrics , its likely a port forward issue or isp issue
you can use a website called ipvoid udp port checker,
put in ure ip an the port to check, it shud show as open/filtered if the forwarding is working correctly

[untold mason]

i scanned 7779 and it said filtered

[distant hearth]

did it say open ?

[untold mason]

umm, i put the url 76.156.33.110 in then 7779 in the tcp port scanner and it gave me 1 line saying status is filtered

[distant hearth]

well since u need to check udp, i have no idea why u want to check tcp
asa servers run on udp port

[untold mason]

oh- that may be the whole prob;lem right there. i put all the ports as open in tcp and not udp

so i should change everything to udp?

[distant hearth]

yes lol 🙂

[untold mason]

well slap me and call me dipsh$# lol

[distant hearth]

clear all the tcp ports u have opened an do them again in udp

if you still have issues , check them again in ipvoid UDP port scan,
they shud show up as open|filtered if all is good

[untold mason]

now says 'open|filtered'

[distant hearth]

shud show in game now and work

there was just a major update a few hours agos so make sure there all on v53.1

[bleak ivy]

YAY, they fixed the levels I can finally have my normal max level instead of being locked by the official ascension max

[distant hearth]

can go past 175 now?

[bleak ivy]

nevermind it just baited me with the proper points then stopped at 175

big sad

why do they even have a max set

[distant hearth]

dunno , makes little sense

[bleak ivy]

it only makes things worse lol. the next map levels need to have it updated and unofficials can't change it.

dinos are unlocked, why aren't survivors lol

[distant hearth]

coz ark i guess lmao, it likes to do ark things

[bleak ivy]

hope they eventually just unlock it. otherwise the setting to change levels is almost useless lol

I guess it can remove the need for ascension but still lol

[distant hearth]

yea , i dunno why there capping it , kinda daft when prob over the half the community plays unofficial

[bleak ivy]

doesn't matter for officials anyway. all it does it this. requires it to be changed when acensions are added and unofficials can't go higher then it (except for removing ascensions)

[untold mason]

grrrrrrr....... still no joy

i scanned and it says open and still cannot get it to list - but i can connect using my router's internet 10.0.0.35 but not using the ip in battlemeterics - that timesout

but using my 10.0.0.35 still no cluster seen in the game

[hollow robin]

Is there a way to view a structure auto decay timer on Xbox? I know on pc you just press H, but not sure how to view it on xbox

[gray stone]

anyone know how I can disable the use of the zepplin in abberation?

[hollow robin]

take it out of the engrams list

[distant hearth]

when you tested the udp port did you use the ip shown by battlemetrics?

[untold mason]

yes

[distant hearth]

and the servers are running v53.1?

[untold mason]

u updated them a just a few hours ago

i not u

i can update agian i guess???

[gray stone]

that would only take the engram out of abberation correct? not the rest of the cluster? I dont mind people using it, but abberation was ment to be flightless other then gliders, feel like the zep gives people to much advantage in ab

[distant hearth]

just look in the server window, will tell you what version there running

[hollow robin]

aslong as you do it just for the aberration server settings yes

[hollow robin]

do u use beacon

[distant hearth]

its like the 7th line down from top, shud say
ark version: 53.1

[gray stone]

becon? you mean the tek engram that allows you to build a transmitter at your own base to travel to other servers? like the obs do?

[hollow robin]

no its a program to help you ajust your server so im asuming u do it via pc files so in this case you just need to go in to your aberration server files and disable the engram for the zepplin and this will just disable it for that server only not the cluster

[untold mason]

yup - all are running 53.1

[gray stone]

My cluster is on nitrado, I use the ini files. but still new to ark coding, so still trying to figure things out

[hollow robin]

ok ya so add this with the right enram class name to your aberration server OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(
EngramClassName="EngramEntry_GenomicsChamber_C",
EngramHidden=True)

so in your case you would just take out {GenomicsChamber} and replace it with the one for th zepplin

[hollow robin]

it also has to be put in your Game.ini

[distant hearth]

can u give me one of the server names so i can look it up ?

[hollow robin]

you can also change the cost of the items to make it via this OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(
EngramClassName="EngramEntry_GenomicsChamber_C",
EngramHidden=True,EngramPointsCost=300,
EngramLevelRequirement=3,
RemoveEngramPreReq=true)
this way itsextreamly expensive to make or imposible

[untold mason]

sent prvt msg

[distant hearth]

they all show up fine for me in game , check your filters when searching for them .
i have them set as , all maps all modes
show player servers [ticked]
they are pvp servers with no password

all on 53.1 , with 0/20 players , longest day count is the island with 429 days

[undone prairie]

i would love to know this also

[untold mason]

well spank me and call me sally - i have them as pvp?

[distant hearth]

yes , they default to pvp when setup unless you tell them other wise in the ini files

[untold mason]

now i feel like homer simpson

DOH!!!!!

[distant hearth]

its easy when you know , not so much when you learning

[untold mason]

i havea tbi so i learn things and a day later its gone, frustrating

thanks a TON!!!! for the help

[coral steeple]

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

[white garnet]

searching but not finding anything, is there any fix for bees not spawning on ab?

[distant hearth]

not possible afaik, the server has to read them from the location there at, why do u want to move them ?

[coral steeple]

im trying to set an individual gameusersettings for each server without having to download the ark server manager tool

trying to see if its possible just from the ark dedicated server launcher from steam

[distant hearth]

you running them all off the same .exe?

[coral steeple]

a different bat file for each server

but yes they all use the steam launcher

[distant hearth]

yea, its possible but a pain in the back side, u wil have to specify the differnt commands for each in the bat file
much easier to use stm cmd an seperate server installs tbh

but is doable how u want

[coral steeple]

will it take a lot more space with separate server installs?
or is there a guide on bat file commands?

[distant hearth]

it will take more space , my server installs are currently 20gb each with there saved data
the commands are limited i think doing via bat but most gus,ini can just have the same command but ? in front,
i.e ?serverpve=true?bForceCanRideFliers=True?ItemStackSizeMultiplier=5,0
etc,
the wiki might have more info
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration
not sure how they do game ini from batch file

[coral steeple]

i only need 1 game ini for all the servers

they tell is where gus is located and what to do but not really if the path is modifiable or not hmm

[distant hearth]

Although not suggested, settings marked with Check mark.svg in the CMD column can be used in the command line too, appending them with the ? syntax. In contrast, settings marked with X mark.svg cannot be moved in the command line.

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#GameUserSettings.ini

[coral steeple]

are we able to move mod settings there as well?

doesnt say

[distant hearth]

i dont think you wud be able to as they have there own header in gus.ini and server wudnt know how to handle that in commandline

just dm you, might be something ure intersted in if u have have enough disk space to run seperate server installs

[nocturne anvil]

Asking here too, my server runs the correct version, has the correct characters saved in, yet doesnt have our save. In the files, I put in the old ones to the new one and it has multiple backups and saves, yet when still launching that server it's just, day 1..?

[lunar sorrel]

Sounds like the saves aren't in the correct place, did you check path?

[fallen jolt]

Does anyone have the command to unlock the tek bed?

[lunar sorrel]

Shouldn't be an issue with running a server to check if it works, shutting it down, wiping the save directory, copying the old save files over including ark data and restarting the server

[delicate fox]

If I'm hosting a server on my PC, how can I get someone to join on another PC that's on the same network, pretty sure I don't need to portforward for that but I'm not sure what to make them connect to. (or which IP)

[acoustic elm]

so i have a locally hosted server, could see it in the server list last night, this morning i cant see it all, and can't connect to it via console commands. yet someone else can see and join it just fine? any ideas?

[bleak ivy]

make sure you and the server have updated

[acoustic elm]

i have just validated my files and can now see them

[plucky lava]

I've been trying to join elite ark servers but it keeps saying i dont have room for the mods with the ones i already have installed, but i dont have any installed? I even tried deleting and reinstalling the game.

[narrow kindle]

Yo guys, I think this is the most relevant place to ask
I have a dedicated server running for me and some friends, if I get things like Bob's and Pyromane for my "server steam account" and host using that will everyone on the server be able to use those things or is that not how it works

For reference I am using ich777 dockers

[cunning holly]

Has anyone seen that latest server patch come through on steam? It's not updating for me.

@zealous aurora Did someone forget to publish that latest server patch for unofficial? It's not showing up on steam and I don't see any unofficial servers with that version?

[jaunty vortex]

They connect to the local IP address of your server and the port

In a console they can type
open 192.168.x.x:7777

or whatever internal IP and port you have.

I’ve never got it to work if the server is password protected

[acoustic elm]

next issue - white list doesnt seem to be letting me on? can anyone confirm where to place the exclusive join list and the correct way to write it so i can confirm i've done it right>

[jaunty vortex]

It’s a plain file with one EOS ID per line.

PlayersExclusiveJoinList.txt goes in the server folder -> /ShooterGame/Binaries/Win64

then make sure -exclusivejoin is in your startup parameters

[lone stream]

this is not how it works. Everybody who wants to use paid content has to pay for it. Would be too easy (and less money for WC) if just the server owner purchases it once and then its free for all players.

[jaunty vortex]

Those items are in game. But to use them, the player must own them.

[acoustic elm]

i did that, but it kept timing me out. with out it i can join just fine.

i also had UseExclusiveList=True in the gus.ini

should i only have the one in the startup parameters?

[jaunty vortex]

Did you add -exclusive join to your startup options though? I don’t have anything for it in my gus.ini

How did you get the EOS ID for each player?

[acoustic elm]

yes i believe that is where i put it. im using pterodactyl, and put it in the Additional Arguments (FLAGS) section

its only got me on it atm. i got it from singleplayer and double check it against the console of the server when i had the whitelist disabled

[neon coyote]

Is anyone with nitrado abb server having problems with crashing

[acoustic elm]

also, does it matter where in the startup options it is?

[jaunty vortex]

No. I tend to put it near the end though.

[acoustic elm]

ok i've just removed the line in teh GUS.ini and am gonna see if it works

i think that actually worked.

gonna remove myself now and check if i can join

[jaunty vortex]

You should get a timeout. However, it will show a connection attempt in the console.

[acoustic elm]

Thank you so much. this has solved a massive head ache for me. removing that line from GUS.ini worked

[jaunty vortex]

Glad you got it sorted

[narrow kindle]

Thanks, I did assume as much, but it never hurts to validate

[olive talon]

Alright I guess I'll ask for help here. If anyone uses Zytharian Critters' tek collection for ASA, I know from reading in their discord that Custom Dino Levels doesn't affect anything in in the ZC mods, is there a way to increase the level distribution for them by any chance? Everything from the tek critters mod is around 50 or lower, so I was just curious. I've of course asked in the discord, but it's been a week and no one there has bothered to answer other than a "thumbs up" from a random user.

Sorry for the long post, I didn't realize how much it'd be.

[acoustic elm]

you could try custom dino levels. i believe that is what it does, just not sure if it will work with the mod

oh wait

[olive talon]

Please re-read the post, the mod author has stated it does not work.

[acoustic elm]

yeah sorry just read that. sorry its been a long ass day of alot of reading.

[olive talon]

I'm fully aware that you can overwrite vanilla spawns for orrect level distribution, but I do not know if it would be possible to do anything with this mod.

[pure haven]

you can try overwrite their spawns in beacon and force them to spawn in certain level ranges

if its a modded creature you just do mod discovery in beacon and add this mod to your project

[olive talon]

That was my next step, if no one knew another way.

[humble thicket]

I'm looking for an option that blocks the respawning of materials close to player structures

[distant hearth]

gameusersetting.ini
[serversettings]
StructurePreventResourceRadiusMultiplier=1.0

is default, higher number will make resources spawn further away, its a multiplier so prob best not to go too high

[humble thicket]

thanks

[plucky lava]

I've been trying to join elite ark servers but it keeps saying i dont have room for the mods with the ones i already have installed, but i dont have any installed? I even tried deleting and reinstalling the game.

[raw glade]

@south vale

This channel is for discussions about unofficial (or single player) server setups including mods and other relevant topics. You can find recruitment and server advertising channels under the #bulletin-board-rules channel.

[south vale]

Thanks! So then I have a question to ask, I wa t to set up a server for my friends to play in, mods and all, thing is I play on Xbox

Free servers are completely out of the question due to it being pvp and lets be honest thr 600 meter radious is completely game breaking, so I was wondering if I needed to have a pc running 24/7 for the server

[olive talon]

If you want a dedicated server, yes it needs to be 24/7.

[south vale]

Non dedicated? What are the differences?

Frankly I just want to play with my friends and with mods

[olive talon]

Nondedicated is 4 people max, you + 3 others, and has a tether. Your friends will only be able to go around 850 meters away from you, can be teleported to you randomly, has all the bugs of singleplayer, etc. And it isn't crossplay.

Dedicated is an actual server. No tether, it is crossplay, less issues.

[south vale]

I see so dedicated is the playable one

Does it have to be running the game, like actually running it or can a potato just hang somewhere else

[olive talon]

It doesn't need to run the game, just the server

[south vale]

Important question since I do have a gaming PC but ark kind of makes it not so great after a few hours

Wich is ironic considering the damn thing runs warhammer 3 with mods but thats besides the point, so just the server?

How much is a server for lets say 16 people, 1 running the server 15 free to join

[olive talon]

Yep, just the server. Needs to be running for as long as you want people to be able to join. If you're hosting it yourself, it's free, aside from your electricity bill keeping the pc on.

[south vale]

Dont I need to buy the server from Nitrado?

[olive talon]

For Ascended or Evolved?

[south vale]

ASA, crossplay and mods

If it was evolved id just join a modded server but I have not found a single server with the evo dinos and the acro/meraxes

[jaunty vortex]

You can shut it down when not in use. Just means nobody can connect 🙂

[olive talon]

Dedicated servers are free. I don't know why you were asking about hosting from your own pc if you were talking about Nitrado. Nitrado is the hoster if you're renting.

[olive talon]

@jaunty vortex I did say that here tbf.

[south vale]

So whats the difference between hosting and renting

Like someone else is running the server?

[olive talon]

Prices and not relying on a server host.

Hosting yourself is free. Hosting from Nitrado is not.

W1ll and John are here though, they're much better as dedicated server stuff, so I'll leave you in their very capable hands

[distant hearth]

if the gaming pc has 16gb or ram an a modern ish cpu it'll likely run the server just fine, you will also decent internet and access to the router for port forwarding
just be aware it will take some time an effort on your part learning how , nitrado is an easier solution but costs money each month as your renting the server from them

[south vale]

Oh my PC is current gen

It can run Ark but it sounds like a Jet

I literally have to keep a fan facing it

[distant hearth]

likely the gpu is struggling without knowing what it is

the server just uses cpu an ram, be aware you wont be able run other games on it whilst the server is running if you only have 16gb ram
after getting the server running you will then also need to learn about the server configs that are setup via the ini files
here is a list of all configs for future reference
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration

[south vale]

Hmmm I think Nitrado would be the best bet then

I dont want my lizards to hear jet engines 24/7

[distant hearth]

nitrado does make it easier, for anyone to start with you still need to know a lil on configs but the have a u/i that makes it easier for people new to it

[south vale]

Oh I was just planning 15x/50x maturity and instant imprint, I already know the settings id need

Not waiting 2 weeks for a giga to be raised again no sir

Actual nightmares back in the day when I played official

[distant hearth]

if you ever do decide to self host through your own hardware , then feel free to ask in here , plenty of people that will try to help out , happy arking 🙂

[tepid swallow]

What are the chances that we will be able to adjust how many link storages we are allowed to have out?

[past iris]

Does anyone know how to fix the shitty wyvern spawns in SE on a dedicated Server? WildDInoKill does NOT work / fix it.

[pure haven]

if you have beacon omni you can overwrite wyvern spawns and add more wyverns to wyverns spawn container or wyvern trench itself

they still gonna despawn pretty often but there will be more of them respawning as well

[distant hearth]

can be done manually
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#Creature_Spawn_related
but tbh its hard enough getting it right even with beacon , so thats a preferred method

[west knoll]

I’m looking for me tribe mate on PvP

[hidden temple]

Anyone know how to fix an error with updating a dedicated server? I click to run it and it gets to the update, then immediately closes out. Barely have time to see what it errors on. Something about error! Update 0x202 or something

[celest halo]

That could be low disk space

[lethal solstice]

Can anyone help me? Setted up my first server a week ago and it was running good. Now when I start the server, I couldn’t find it on my Xbox. Does anyone have tips?

[hidden temple]

Weird, I've had low disc space before and things updated and ran. I'll see if I can move more stuff around and see

[celest halo]

Did you update it

[languid forge]

I am hosting ASA Server using SteamCMD and Batch Files.

How can I change maps and/or mods but allow people to keep their character so they can continue to level their character beyond level 120.

[lethal solstice]

Update it now, thx

[devout plover]

So if I were self hosting ark asa do i need to use windows server 2022 or do people use linux with windows docker containers?

[distant hearth]

multiple ways to do it, mine are on a home windows version , some use linux an dockers, if renting server from datacenter prob has be on a server version, i think it has to be windows server 2019 or newer

[tepid berry]

Any thing I can do about base-tiles not loading in? I have some players who the tiles won't load at all; others like me, I basically gotta step on the tile directly before it will load. (ASA)

[celest halo]

I use Linux and no docker

[devout plover]

does your windows home let you pause updates so ther server is always on?

[devout plover]

even for asa

[celest halo]

Yup

[distant hearth]

what do you mean by pause updates? an the server is always on unless i turn it off

[celest halo]

I run it with proton

[devout plover]

just windows updates

[tepid berry]

@distant hearth Windows Home is known to FORCE a restart after a while

It won't even let you say no.

[devout plover]

interesting

[distant hearth]

oh you can turn them off if you want, or shcedule them for certain times

[devout plover]

that makes sense

[tepid berry]

I use Windows 10 IoT edition, and that stuff is all ripped out.

[devout plover]

last question, are we allowed to host clusters, or is only nitrado allowed to do that?

[tepid berry]

@devout plover you're not allowed to host ARK servers commercially.

But privately, you can host whatever you want.

[devout plover]

right but can i have 2 maps

[distant hearth]

you can host a server cluster yes

[devout plover]

awesome thanks

[tepid berry]

I've got 5 servers in a cluster on mine.

[devout plover]

how much ram is that?

[tepid berry]

Baseline sits around 48gb

But the machine has 128

[devout plover]

thats awesome

thanks everyone!

[tepid berry]

This building tiles not loading bug is really frustrating some of my players. One guy can't get more than a 4x4 area to load of our base. :[

[main gyro]

This is happening for me whenever i leave my base in but when i relog it fixes

[frail crescent]

Is it just happening on Aberration?

[olive talon]

Na Island too for my cluster. It's something WC needs to fix. I can't even load in.

[tepid berry]

Its everywhere. Regardless of server load.

Its not something anyone as a server owner can fix at this time.

[lapis quest]

Ours is on aberration only, bases wont load for 10+ minutes

[olive talon]

Just something WC has to fix

[frail crescent]

Ok thanks, I was under the impression that it was a mod conflict suddenly...

[frail crescent]

Do you know if this has been reported to WC?

[olive talon]

Based on the 100s of users commenting on the same issue, I would assume so yes

[lapis quest]

We thought about beign a mod/plugin and even commandlines

All our configs are the same on the other maps, they are working just fine

Unless it's something about the map day stuff, we leave aberration running without going back to 0

[frail crescent]

Yeah I just tested it with zero mods and it still has that huge delay in rendering.

Wondering if it would still be safe to keep the server running so people can transfer off it.

[lapis quest]

Should be fine, we run our server mostly with plugins

[humble thicket]

i logged in and the entire server was destroyed, most tames killed. the logs do not show who and what killed them and players on my server talk about a player flying around and killing everything.

i am hosting a server on nitrado, downloads are enabled but no crossark. there is no PW on the server.

anybody has an idea what happend and what i could do to prevent it? other than putting a pw on it

[distant hearth]

set a cluster id for the server , sounds like someone got in and abused admin mode

[humble thicket]

will cluser ID prevent that from happening?

[humble thicket]

and enable crossark? or only cluster ID?

[distant hearth]

im not certain on what nitrado call it but yea enable the cluster id, that will mean only people from that cluster id can transfer in

[humble thicket]

alright will do that. thanks alot mate 🙂

[distant hearth]

i.e it stops any player using a glitch an joining in admin from single players

[humble thicket]

i understand. i will enable crossark (the setting that allows us to transfer to other arks) and set a cluster ID and restart the server. many thanks 🙂

[tepid berry]

Heh, yeah - that sounds like a classic; didn't have "-NoTransferFromFIltering" turned on.

[clear tendon]

in my server console it says couldnt load mods library from disk how do i fix it

[random ivy]

Hello, I don’t know where to ask this question but I’m playing on my own server and it difficulty is 180 will the bosses be more challenging than playing difficulty 150 is there any different or they are the same?

[sage magnet]

Anyone know how to fix my server lag? It’s been at 120+

[clear tendon]

if i make a dedicated server do i have to port forward

[spiral quartz]

My Scorched Earth server is having an issue with crashing pretty constantly... is there something i can do to try and optimize it any better?

[languid forge]

Is anyone having problems with dashboarding while on unofficial servers since update?

[celest halo]

only if you want people outside of your home to be able to connect to it

[granite jungle]

Hey guys, I'm running into an issue and I'm not sure if it has something to do with the INI files, even though they are all the same for all the servers. Every time I transfer between my cluster, the weight stats go crazy and increase to over 200k. The server has to be restarted for the weight stat to come back to normal.

[clear tendon]

damn that sucks is there a way around it or no

because i cant port forward with my router

[bleak ivy]

there are tons of ways to go around port forwarding like hamachi and zero tier. those create LAN tunnels to other PCs. not sure if either is available for consoles tho.

if you are ASE, clusters likely won't work properly with them tho. since clusters don't work well on LAN.

[devout plover]

what linux os do people recommend for ark asa server on linux with proton

[celest halo]

one you know how to use

[devout plover]

is there any documentation or guide for running ark asa with proton

[celest halo]

there prob is, i didnt look for one

[devout plover]

do u have a linux server running ark asa?

[celest halo]

yup

[devout plover]

which os did you use

[celest halo]

ubuntu

[lunar cloud]

you can have a read through my github repo marcel-dempers\ark-docker

i run using docker and proton

[harsh whale]

Hay does anyone experience “session not found” and get kicked to menu not able to join a server?
My buddy is having this problem after the update and can’t join now
After the update that just happened

[plain atlas]

I got a question how do i change baby mature speed i did in single player to then copy game settings to the server but they wont grow fast

everything els seems to work

[vital perch]

Use this in the ini gigas take an hour to fully grow at this speed

BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=250

[vital perch]

Has he;
Restarted the app?
Restarted the console?
Restarted the server?
Restarted the wifi?
Load into a different server then try the target server?

[plain atlas]

i will ty

[wild bough]

Me and my mates want to make an ark dedicated server for abberation, i downloaded the ark survival ascended dedicated server on steam but every time i go into it, all it does is load up a random island save that i have no control over and cant even join

Anyone got help? Thanks

[slim tulip]

I'll be getting a PC soon and was wondering if I would be able to use my ps5 to host a server and play with my friends through PC? And if that would work would I need to have ps plus active even though I'm not technically playing the game

Think it's dedicated that let's everybody explore anywhere they want, would be just me and 2 friends maybe 3

On survival evolved

[grave shale]

i am going crazy trying to figure this out, all of a sudden out of nowhere a few months back my own server that a run from a seperate pc is rubberbanding 24/7 to the point its unplayable, i upgraded the ram even recently from 16 to 32 since it would hang around 85-95% use, its still rubberbanding just the same. I cant find any solutions to this

ive restarted the server multiple times, done dino wipes etc.

[harsh whale]

Yes we’ve tried all over those we’ve also tried filling his character

[jaunty vortex]

How are you starting the server? You need to tell it to use Aberration.

[fair umbra]

where is good unoff pvp ?

[last hornet]

Try #1110925695900713072

[dusky canopy]

Hello it's my first time, how do I set up a server? And how can I add mods?

[sharp vessel]

Hello everyone !
I'm searching a mod who works like Simple Spawners on ASE for ASA, there is a mod who's doing the same job as it ?

[dusky canopy]

For ark evolved btw not ascended

[haughty cairn]

for ASE there is a TON of tutorials out there

[spice tendon]

The official discord of simple spawners stated they are working on an ASA mod but no release date.

[sharp vessel]

That's a good news, I'll be waiting about the mod so, thank you for the information !

[willow crystal]

Is there an INI option, mod or plugin to control the earthquake frequency on Aberration? It happens quite often and we want to reduce it a bit...

[hardy marten]

you have several options, really depends if you want to rent a server in which case there's host havoc, nitrado etc etc usually around 15-20$ a month, or if your'e wanting to self host you can use the steam cmd and command lines to host servers yourself or ReadyGSM has ui software that will host your servers pretty easily without doing all the setup manually

[hardy marten]

there is a lot of setup youll have to do to get it to work such as port forwarding so they can join, the server settings as well as declaring the map names etc etc, your other option is to try downloading readygsm and it will do most of the setup for you and the rest is very easy from there just download it select the maps and hit start

[tepid berry]

Are you by chance, associated with Ready GSM and peddling your wares in here?

Because, I'm not sure that's looked upon highly...

[hardy marten]

no i just use it cause its much easier than renting and nitrado has been terrible

nitrado charged me for 6 months after i cancelled 3 times

[olive talon]

There are a lot of self host managing sites

[hardy marten]

yes theres plenty of options

[tepid berry]

There's a nice free one on itch[dot]io called Arkasm, it looks a lot like the old ASE server manager, and can walk you through all the steps @dusky canopy - Setting it up by hand isn't difficult, it's just tedious is all

[distant hearth]

the trouble with server managers is half of them were incorrect an the other half dont really explain whats going on so people get in a muddle, its not as simple as click a button on nitrado.
requires some research an knowledge of how a pc works

[hardy marten]

theyre almost all free, and not everyone wants to learn how to server manage just to play a game, are you by chance associated with yaboijboi?

[tepid berry]

The one you pointed to certainly wasn't. It's $25.

[distant hearth]

i wrote a text file guide on setting up asa servers but tbh im loathed to give it out now, too many people message me back saying it dont work.each an every time its becuase they dint read the instructions i wrote

[hardy marten]

actually its free, if you click download lol

[tepid berry]

It's not free. It has a expiration date of 4 days after download where it locks you out. If you're using it, then you know that.

[distant hearth]

the simple solution is, rent from nitrado if u want easy server setup(even then requires abit effort setting it up how u want)

if u want to put in time an effort, have good internet , 16gb ram an relatively modern quad core or better cpu, can setup your own

[hardy marten]

i am using it and yes, eventually it wont be free, however it is free rn and it has been extended several times so i havent paid anything

i would know, i have 5 asa servers and 1 palworld server 👍

[hardy marten]

if you have an issue with the program you're more than welcome to email them and tell them your complaints yourself or ask for a demo, its made by a reputable company and they have very fast support, good luck 🫡

[tepid berry]

Just wary of salesmen coming in here and peddling product.

Instead of genuinely trying to help is all.

[hardy marten]

im no salesmen lol

maybe if you knew the program youd understand how helpful it is instead of assuming im trying to make a buck

[grizzled sand]

Just got a server off nitrado and it's not showing up even though it says the server is running, any guidance?

[distant hearth]

at this point its irrelevant, people will use what there familiar with an what works for them .
my prefernce is to do it manually so i know exactly whats going on ...

[hardy marten]

the sad part is half the "help" in here is basically "figure it out"

[distant hearth]

nitrado servers can take upto 30 mins to setup/intsall an show in lists,
also make sure ure filters are set to all, they default to the island pvp

[tepid berry]

Yeah, I've used a lot of ASA "server managers" trying to streamline things, and ... it's just better to manually set up. When stuff goes south, you know what to pull and where to pull it.

[hardy marten]

yes same here, which is the exact reason why i give the help and knowledge i do give

[distant hearth]

in this channel thats really not the case, at least not in my experience
last xmas when i was learning how to self host asa servers got a bucket ton of help an knowledge from people in here ...
at that time 99% of the server managers were just relabelled ase managers

[hardy marten]

i guess it depends who is online at the moment

if people wanna spend hours doing configuration instead of actually playing then thats their choice, there is no wrong answer here

[distant hearth]

i try to pay it forward, so i tend give 30 mins here an there to going through an answering questions when i can

[tepid berry]

haha, I actually used the most popular one, ASM to just copy/paste over all the config files, and change the game ID on steamcmd

[distant hearth]

i tried one, it dint work , came here for help an then got taught how to do it manually, then spent time learning about exactly how the batch files etc work.
at the time it wasnt widely known to use -port=xxxx to set the port , -winlivemaxplayers etc
some people still using ?listen and ?queryport commands on asa 🙄

[tepid berry]

-port was already set by ASM, and thankfully, when you boot up ASA for the first time, it modifies the GUS.ini to add the winlivemaxplayers, so it wasn't too much digging to figure out.

It was that switchover, much like you, where I learned how it was being done by the server manager on the back end, and it turned out all that "complexity" wasn't all that difficult to begin with. If you're willing to take the time, we can teach you.

[hardy marten]

if anyone wants to do it manually readygsm also has a manual server setup tutorial on youtube as well. for anyone else trying to diy your servers and need the help

[distant hearth]

theres a popular video on youtube for setting them up manually cant rem the name , but its very wrong
prob one or two people a week come in here with issues because they follow this particular guide on youtube
i guess it just shows up first still when people search or summit

[tepid berry]

The big trip-up for me was the Amazon Root certs install

[distant hearth]

i installed on home version of windows so lucky never ran into that , was big fuss when they discontinued support for win server 2016 iirc aswell

[trim wadi]

Hi, thanx for the guidance.
posting here if it helps someone in the future 🙂 with a Windows 2022 Self hosted server.
I could connect fine if I used the console open command to the LAN and the WAN public IP's, so port forwarding was correct.

1. I had to install epic launcher on the server as per ÕƁ's post, running a port/session listener I can now see a https connect nou to a aws server which wasnt there before from the ArkAscendedServer.exe
   1.b used certificate manager to remove any previous certs issued to, and issued by Amazon/AWS
2. I had to match my "-ServerIP" to my multihome for some odd reason. could be the way my ISP NAT's my static IP that. and wierd that it doesn't work if i use the external in -ServerIP=165.xxx.
3. If i leave- ServerIP= out of the startup line then it doesn't show on the in game server list.

[celest halo]

That's the WC way most of what we know is from figure it out, WC gives little to no information on how to run/setup a server

[hardy marten]

You’re not wrong

[cosmic stone]

Abberation day cycle and day / night speed does anyone know the defaults. Copied a config from one of the other servers and now it messed it up

[distant hearth]

its just broken an messed atm, they need fix it, leave it default an eventually they fix it i guess

[cosmic stone]

roger that

[lapis quest]

Are u sure its broken? For me they just inverted how it works

[distant hearth]

hmm that might be the issue then, but it aint how ase used be , that is why i thought broken

[lapis quest]

I have the day/night timers, one min

[distant hearth]

thats not how ab shud be though, its supposed have cycles . i will admit to never messing with the timers on ab thought, the default always felt fine to me

[lapis quest]

Days 0/1/2/3 = 50/50 = 19;30pm to 07;30am = night on surface / 07;30am to 19;30pm = sun
Days 4/5/6 (danger) = 90/10 = 23;00pm to 02;50am = night on surface / 02;50am to 23;00pm = sun
Days 7/8/9 = 10/90 = 14;50pm to 11;00am = night on surface / 11;00am to 14;50pm = sun

Daytimers are the same across all the cycles

Surface reapers and nameless wont spawn on ''day time'', only from 17;30pm to 05;30am

I spent a week farming suface drops since i figured this out

[distant hearth]

dont matter what spawns on day time u cant go up there without instant death, its the death sun that seems be off far as i know

[lapis quest]

You can on 90% night timers

Theres sun only between 11;00am to 14;50pm

[distant hearth]

i havent tested it , so u know exact, maybe they intened it that way now idk,i shud know asa isnt ase, an tbh its a while since i played

[distant hearth]

good to know , so you think they just changed it an didnt bother telling people?, sounds about right tbh

[lapis quest]

i guess so, tbh i like more this way tho

[subtle gyro]

is there a server side fix i can do to solve the bases not loading in issue

like rollback the patch or something

[distant hearth]

nah, just got wait for w/c to release a patch to fix it

[subtle gyro]

sadge

[distant hearth]

a lil tip, if you run own server that you control the updates on, you dont need to take minor server versions.
only the major version has to match for people to join it...
i often dont bother updating mine with the minor version

[subtle gyro]

ah

cant rollback sadge

[distant hearth]

not that i know of , i mean i guess you cud backup a full copy of every server version each time, but dont know anyone that does .
who knows if it was a server side or client side update that caused the issue though tbh .... i expect server side but dont know

might be woth looking on steam db see if the old versions can still be d/l but not sure how u wud install it

[broken halo]

It's the way he says I tested on my server for last week it's been that way the clock used to slow down and speed up on ase but here it's more like going to Antarctica or whatever clock runs same speed but daylight is adjusted

[distant hearth]

good to know, been nicer if they told us they changed it from ase lmao... but thats the joy of unofficial i gues, just got try it an see hhaaha

[broken halo]

Lol truth I sat at entrance for a full week cycle to be sure watching for the surface to blaze 😅

[raven wigeon]

is any1 having an issue with the decays?? it resets everytime the server reboots after an update

[distant hearth]

ive heard others say if you set both pve and pvp decay timers exactly the same it works, havent tested it though

[grim horizon]

hello again we are trying to setup our own server for now on a home computer did the port forwarding part but now when ever we try to login to the server through ip we see someone join in the server log but two to three seconds later gets disconnected anyone have this happen before?

[distant hearth]

does the server show up in the game? is it an ase or asa server?

[grim horizon]

doesnt show in the asa

[distant hearth]

that general is a port issue tbh , how is the server setup ?
through some sort server manager? through stmcmd and batch files ? is it running the latest version etc, mor einfo the better

[grim horizon]

server is setup through a server creation tool/manager ports are forwarded through the router 7777 27015 and 27020 for the rcon if needed creation tool sets it up in same way a batch file would i believe latest version fully updated

[distant hearth]

27015 is an old steam query port from ase used for when it was on steam network
ASA runs on eos (epic online services),so not needed
to join game u only need the one udp game port forwarded inbound through firewall , router and any antivirus /malware etc program u might use.
for some reason a few people have issues using the default 7777udp port, so might be worth trying 7778

im not familar with server managers tbh as alot of them are wrong or dont work properly.
you can also use an online port checker like ipvoid udp checker,
put in your ip an the port number an it shud show as open|filtered

you can also look up the server name on battlemetrics website an check its using the port you think it is

[cinder shale]

best asa server host?

[distant hearth]

nitrado since there the only ones legit allowed to host asa , unless do it your self

[cinder shale]

oh are they are the only ones allowed?

[distant hearth]

yea they are the only ones allowed to host a server thats pre setup

[cinder shale]

oh ok thanks

[olive talon]

Nitrado and Apex, which is still Nitrado, so 😂

[distant hearth]

do you know if they own gravel host aswell? i assume so, or there just really dodgy lol

[frail crescent]

When does the exclusivity deal end? or when does it change to allow other vendors?

[olive talon]

At least 3 years afaik

[frail crescent]

Ooof

[distant hearth]

its worth putting in the time an effort to learn how host your own, more than three maps an it actually works out cheaper than using nitadro 🙂
through a rented dedi machine

[frail crescent]

Oh i have a dedicated setup already working, just the place I host it from, cant legally help me for issues that arrise from it.

[waxen robin]

how do i reduce garbage collection triggers? its going off too much

[distant hearth]

shitrado generally cant either so u aint missing much lmao

[distant hearth]

you cant afaik, its backend server stuff that it just does

[frail crescent]

So 90% of my troubleshooting with ASA come from this channel 😛

[distant hearth]

majority people in here know more than a nitrado bot following a set script

[frail crescent]

#patch-notes message

Not yet public on Steamdb

[celest halo]

minor version could take hour to never for unofficals lol

[livid reef]

if i want to both change the level and the resources of an engram; would i put them on separate lines, OverrideNamedEngramEntries and ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts, or would i put them in a single override? if on a single, would it go under the crafting cost override?

[marsh pine]

is it public for Steamdb yet?

[open shadow]

It seems it is still not public for Steamdb

[frail heron]

what can I do to send a message in world when an autosave is done? We are using a dedicated server (using SteamCMD without any ServerManager) and we have set AutoSavePeriodMinutes=15.000000 but would like to have a message in world, so the player knows that they need to expect a few seconds of lag.

[frail crescent]

My advice is to don't do a broadcast. It is well known auto saves every 15 minutes and it is expected on every server. Auto saves shouldn't lag that much at all.

@zealous aurora is patch going to be available for unofficial servers ? Was posted but never dropped on steam.

[dusky canopy]

He's not but I do intend to host a server on my pc 🙂 and ill just do it manually than paying for nitrado or readygsm thanks for the info tho

[halcyon tundra]

is there any mods that lets you set up dino spawns like simple spawners back in ase?

[jaunty vortex]

They’ve only released it for official.

So those of us running our own servers or renting from Nitrado are still waiting.

[wild bough]

thanks man preciate it. just downloaded readygsm and started an ark ascended server but im kind of lost what to do now lol, it said the server was running but i go into ASA and i can't find anything... looking in official, unofficial and non dedicated so yeah. bit of help would be much appreciated. Thanks

[last hornet]

You named it ? Sometimes this is the issue

[wild bough]

yeah, named it but it still aint popping up... if all else goes wrong guess i might have to do nitrado lmao

[last hornet]

I know shittrado but not what your using lol, so I’ll be no help at all just thought to throw it out there

[wild bough]

if theres one thing i've found in the past couple days is that i am not very bright for making servers 🤣 thanks though man

[jaunty vortex]

Checked on Battle Metrics for your server?

Also you will need to port forward on your router.

[last hornet]

Yeh it’s confusing to begin with, but when you get it figured out you feel dumb 🤣🤣🤣

We all been there mate keep at it

[wild bough]

just did all that now, battle metrics said its all up, just looked up a guide on all the port forward stuff on ark at https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_server_setup#Port_Forwarding_and_Firewall. should i restart the server now that i did all this?

[wild bough]

preciate it mate, slowly but surely! 😂

[jaunty vortex]

Not going to hurt. But it should show in the server list without port forwarding. You just won’t be able to connect.

[wild bough]

Ohhh shit, def did something wrong along the way. At this point i'll just try it out later and if all goes wrong nitrado will have to be

[jaunty vortex]

No reason you can’t get it working.

What are you running the server on? Is it the same PC you are playing on?

What are your server specs?

[wild bough]

Im just running the server off my pc and im using the same pc to play ark
My pc shouldn't be a problem i don't think, 16gb ram, intel i9 12th gen and 2tb. Think i might've just messed up but trial and error tbf

[last hornet]

Ask w1llz123 he seems very knowledgeable about your situation lol

[jaunty vortex]

You need double the RAM because effectively you’re running two copies of Ark. 32GB for what you are trying to do.

the game will grab port 7777 so your server can’t use that. You need to assign it something else like 7778

[clear peak]

Anyone know if v.53.11 is being rolled out to unofficial servers? Seems like only official got it

[jaunty vortex]

Probably means Wildcard forgot

[cunning holly]

@zealous aurora @proven prawn Someone forgot again to publish the v53.11 update to unofficial that you guys pushed out 8 hours ago. The missing structures bug is a HUGE problem on unofficial. Can someone please push the button to publish the update?

[jaunty vortex]

Sometimes they keep us waiting days or we just don’t get it at all.

[celest halo]

Once you figure out WC don’t care about unofficial better off you’ll be 🤣

[jaunty vortex]

Nitrado should given their rented out servers also don’t get it on time.

[clear peak]

But why would they care since they have the monopoly on servers... 😞

[celest halo]

Nitrado is just as bad look at all the people that come here for help because there customer service sucks

[clear peak]

Im surprised noone else from unofficial servers is really writing anything about not getting the update though. Its been what, 9 hours and i think me and 1 other are querying

[jaunty vortex]

Because probably 95% of people are blissfully unaware.

[prisma slate]

I had asked about it earlier in the general channel. It's a huge problem with my server as well. Problems with rendering, inventories, interactions etc. We're waiting and hoping for it to release asap. Haven't heard anything on an eta though.

[clear peak]

I dont even know how to get the message out, i wrote in general but the admins were busy having a chat about the weather in their country so the comment just got pushed up

[clear peak]

Same, I cant render my base so cant really play for 2 days now

[celest halo]

Because we used to it, we have seen many of an “exploit” patch for officials skip unofficials

[acoustic elm]

?AltSaveDirectoryName=<savedir_name>

is this used for clusters?

[haughty cairn]

How many servers could I run on a machine with ryzen 5,6 core/12 thread machine with 128GB ram? Ik servers use about 16GB ram, but would I be restricted due to CPU thread constraints.

[jaunty vortex]

I do not recommend running multiple servers off the same folder. Make one for each server.

[jaunty vortex]

8-10. It doesn’t use that much CPU

[haughty cairn]

Ah cool, I read I needed 4 threads per server is all. Thanks 😊

[jaunty vortex]

I’ve got 5 ASA maps and 12 Minecraft servers on a Ryzen 5700G with 128GB RAM.

Now the server isn’t the busiest but the CPU is doing sod all

My RAM is half empty but I don’t run structure or dino mods.

[haughty cairn]

Ye, we do 😂

We looking at 2 128 dedis for our 7 maps, (ryzen 5 3600)

[distant hearth]

it all comes down to useage , amount mods, structures on map etc, get 20 players on at a time and your gonna see more useage, etc etc

[jaunty vortex]

Realistically, are you going to have 20 people on each map?

[acoustic elm]

ok so im having another issue. i have 4 maps set up with pterodactyl. all are mounted to the one mount, with -exclusivejoin -noundermeshkilling? -clusterid=||REDACTED|| -ClusterDirOverride=/||REDACTED|| -NoTransferFromFiltering in the command line.

when i upload a dino, and exit the termal and go back, the dino is gone, and when i transfer to a different map, it spawns me in, but when i select an area to spawn at, it puts me in character creation and the charater i transfered is forever gone

[jaunty vortex]

Or 20 across all the maps.

[haughty cairn]

At one time? Probably across all maps

[jaunty vortex]

Yeah, you won’t struggle with that.

[haughty cairn]

Awesome

We gone a bit overboard cos we wanna be ready for new maps

[distant hearth]

that sounds like an issue with the shared cluster directory , all the servers need to ba able see same location and read/write to it .
im not familiar at all with linux though so its about all i can offer

[jaunty vortex]

I think you’ll run out of RAM before CPU is maxed out.

[haughty cairn]

Lol, probably

Thanks for the help, we are moving from nitrado, so new to this dedi stuff.

[acoustic elm]

from my understanding, the mount is the cluster directory. we've given the relevant permisions to the folders we believe. i just am not sure what else im missing. i thought maybe its the ?AltSaveDirectoryName=<savedir_name>

[distant hearth]

oh prob also worth checking the filters in the gus.ini are set correctly ,

PreventDownloadDinos=False
PreventDownloadItems=False
PreventDownloadSurvivors=False

PreventUploadDinos=False
PreventUploadItems=False
PreventUploadSurvivors=False```
the ?altsavedirectory was used in ase when only using the one.exe to create a cluster, i doubt its even  needed at all in asa as they save each map to its own folder/directory

using the clusterdrioverride command u ar essentially pointing the server at a location to move the data from the map to there when you transfer things/chars

[acoustic elm]

yeah i have them in the gus.ini

i have no idea what my issue is then.

im just about ready to give up on it

[distant hearth]

id upload something whilst looking in the shared data folder see if it actually writes any data there , i know it can be done with linux, just dont know how sry

[acoustic elm]

yeah it doens't write there

tis all good. im releativley new to it so it is doing my head in lol

[distant hearth]

this line is incorrect i just noticed
-exclusivejoin -noundermeshkilling? -clusterid=REDACTED -ClusterDirOverride=/REDACTED -NoTransferFromFiltering
see the ? after noundermeshkilling, it shud not be there, it cud well cause it to ignore lines after it

[acoustic elm]

ok i shall try that

thank you

what if i have ? at the end of my cluster id?

[distant hearth]

you shudnt really but on a windows machine u wud do it like this
-clusterid="myclusterid?" -Clusterdiroverride="c:\myservercluster?"

no idea if thats the same on linux

[acoustic elm]

ok i jsut removed them as a test anyway

[acoustic elm]

i could kiss you right now! its worked!!! thank you!!! i knew it was something dumb

[distant hearth]

np , happy arking

[acoustic elm]

this has been a week of pain you have just solved thank you!!!

[jaunty vortex]

Need to think about special characters and not using them in file names or directories. My partner drives me nuts because she has a Mac and they are really slack about what you can put in a file name. Backing it up to a Linux NAS is frustrating.

Every OS has different rules, I’d stick to letters, numbers and - or _ and no spaces.

[distant hearth]

my better half is a nightmare, always naming things weird then not being able find them later on lolz

[jaunty vortex]

Mine has conventions. But takes no account of where it’s backing up to. I set up Time Machine on my NAS in the end.

I have two separate backup processes for Ark. one from the server manager I use, which was unreliable in the past. The other is the power shell script pinned in this channel.

[trim wadi]

@wild bough

If you are still struggling, I also had issues with the server listing in game.

#unofficial-setup-help message

[last magnet]

would a corrupted save cause issues with startup? bc my center server wants to take 15 minutes to get the server up and most of the time it crashes out with a HANG but my SE server with similar mods just took three minutes to startup including a full mod install (I have a 256GB SSD, and windows + five ark servers was not cutting it)

[jaunty galleon]

tbf it depends on specs and settings, 32gb wasn't enough for me to achieve this as it was always using almost all of it and sometimes lagging due to going over

[distant hearth]

it cud yea, so cud many things.
anything in the log files might hint at an issue?
just have to use logical steps to fix it..
backup the save data, remove all mods an test, if good proceed to adding mods till issue found.
if still crash without mods , remove all save data , test again
if good add the world save back in, test , then each player an tribe data etc.
on really busy servers i do the player data in batches or 2 or 3

[last magnet]

it takes four minutes plus at the Shiny CCA loading, then AP+ wyverns debug and by the time that shows up in logs, the backup timer is like a minute or less and boom, restarts. I got it to load earlier today and I managed to get in and get a few things accomplished but it crashed around 4am and no luck getting it to load since.

[distant hearth]

one thing i forgot, the system has enough free ram to acctually load another server with the others running?

[last magnet]

it's got 64GB, and I only run one at a time

it can handle two full maps + Club ark without issue, but I do one map and only start a second if I was going to transfer maps

[distant hearth]

ok then go through the steps i posted above, mine boot in under 2 mins but dont have much on them

[celest halo]

Mine boot about the same, only issue I have is my island map likes to take 10 min to do a full shutdown when others are min or less 🤣

[jaunty vortex]

The game takes up 16GB on my PC. The Island with limited mods on my server is 12GB. Windows needs RAM too. You’ll need 32GB to run server and game on the same PC.

[distant hearth]

odd, ark be doing ark things i guess lmao

[celest halo]

Always 😂

[distant hearth]

yea i run the game an a map on 32gb ram, i can run two maps just to transfer but it doesnt like it much lol

running the game,one map and club ark is ok, have to drop to mediumd gfx settings though

[jaunty vortex]

Club Ark is pretty light thankfully.

[celest halo]

Club don't take much it's such a small map and don't really save much lol

[distant hearth]

it its about 2-4gb for me , longer there left running idle they seem to trim down there ram useage

[last magnet]

yeah Club ark is super light

I had five maps, four loaded with mods, two with bases, and club ark running at once and it was 90% RAM usage

[distant hearth]

when the ram ive got, next goes on sale im buying another 32gb kit ddr4 is pretty cheap anyway an more will suit my purposes better

[last magnet]

I can max out at 256 GB of RAM

[celest halo]

All my maps but club site around 90-95% ram usage, but there VM's only have 14gb of ram, need to up them to 16 one of these days 🤣

[spiral palm]

Anyone else having their server blatently ignore settings? Both in GUS.ini and Game.ini and it like, picks and chooses random ones to ignore too, so not even all of them. Like right now my Ab server is ignoring my day and night scaling as well as some of my loot modification settings. Super strange. Been having this issue since the patch The Center was launched on.

[last magnet]

weird

I noticed my loot settings took a minute to register in the game

like I would change it, deploy, first loot drop once I logged in was an older version of the items

[celest halo]

I'm thinking of upgrading mine also last I check the 32gb (4 8gb sticks) was little over $100

[last magnet]

but the next drop would be correct

[spiral palm]

Oh, I know why that is. That first loot was compiled while the old settings were active. so any new loot after you modified settings will acknowledge the new settings

[distant hearth]

i dunno usa prices, the 2 x 16gb 3600mhz kit i have was about £80 sometimes goes on sale for like 65-70 now

[last magnet]

I figured that was the case

that's around 80 dollars in US

pounds run around 1.something per dollar

[distant hearth]

our tek is generally dearer in uk even after exchange rate taken into acount, alwys has been

[celest halo]

I need the 4 sticks so I can run in quad channel, right now I have 4 in it running in dual channel

My MB has 8 ram slots 😂

[jaunty vortex]

Get 2x16GB would be my advice

[harsh vigil]

I need help I cant find any info anywhere I'm using this setting PvEStructureDecayPeriodMultiplier=1 but the timers on the bases keep resetting every restart why is that an ARK bug ?? The setting works fine on the ASE but not ASA ??

[last magnet]

mine has 8 slots too, I'd have to do 32GB sticks per slot. Next upgrade is to 128, two more 32GB sticks.

[jaunty vortex]

$ to £ at 1:1 and add 20% usually 😭

[celest halo]

Nope not enough sticks to run it in quad channel 🤣

[jaunty vortex]

Yeah, I just saw you say it’s an 8 slot motherboard.

[distant hearth]

others have said you need to set both pvp and pve decay settings the same an it shud then work properly ,
havent test this though as have decay off

[harsh vigil]

Thanks I will give that a try

[celest halo]

When I built mine I went with 4 8gb for 32 so I either do 4 more of them for 64, or would have to do 8 16 to get more and be able to do quad channel, think mine maxes out at 256 also 😂

[jaunty vortex]

I’m maxed out at 128 on my server.

[last magnet]

mine's a Precision 5810, that motherboard is PICKY. like I can do 4x4 for 16GB or 2x16, but I have to do them in pairs and in like 1,3, 5, 7, 2, 4, 6, 8. Bought it refurbed for $250 and spent $180 on the RAM

it came with 4x 4GB sticks, 16 GB choked on the island

[celest halo]

My server has 192 in it, don't even know what it's max is

[jaunty vortex]

16 should have cooed with the Island unless you were mod heavy. Depends what else was running I suppose.

[distant hearth]

im looking a prob renting summit like this from hetzner later in the year ,
CPU-Intel Xeon E5-1650V3
RAM-128 GB
can get for £47 pcm
just need to either learn how to use linux an install ark to that or how to put my own windows server key onto a hetzner server lol
it will have to wait till i can spend the time looking into it

[celest halo]

I have the rog rampage vi extreme encore, and it needs ram in pairs like that also for the dual and quad channels to work right

[last magnet]

that sounds so delightful (/s)

the manual didn't specify it had to be in pairs, I had to figure it out by the fact that it had a chart of memory configs

[last magnet]

I had a SP map + ini I copied over to the server, so I think it was the older RAM, config issues, and 16 GB of ram wasn't enough for win10pro AND ark

[celest halo]

Nope not with windows taking a 1/4 of it 😂

[distant hearth]

windows will use a fair bit if not used else where, then reallocate elsewhere when needed

[celest halo]

I run mine on Linux just because the is over head is so much smaller then running windows

[last magnet]

I'm more familiar with windows, been messing with it since Win95 came out, but I'm thinking of trying Linux

[celest halo]

Asa in Linux can be a little bit of a pain, they don't have Linux binaries for the server, hopefully they will release some like they did for ASE

[lapis quest]

Does anyone know if the updated actually fixed rendering issues on officials? Why the heck that isnt out for unos 12 hours later

[distant hearth]

seems like it did dont see hordes complaining in general, when unoff get it , who knows , when ever some one gets around to it , or maybe not until the next update

[acoustic elm]

i have one last thing to get working. Dynamic config. anyone familar with it?

[distant hearth]

this might help,not familiar with it though

Hi

I want to join a public server, but I don’t know how

What is the name for this server?

[bleak ivy]

#1110925695900713072
This discord isn't for one server. its the official ark discord.
This channel is for discussion about unofficial (or single player) server setup including mods and other relevant topics.

[celest halo]

That can be a pain if you don't have a Webserver to host the file, there is work arounds to have it read from a local file though

[acoustic elm]

i have a file webhosted. http.

but when i start the server after adding it to the config, it deletes the url from gus.ini

[celest halo]

Did you put the url in quotes

[acoustic elm]

no

[remote crest]

Hey everyone! I'm having a unique-ish problem on my server... I have rented a server through Nitrado since ASA was released, and I had 2 ASE servers prior to that.... I have never encountered this issue before, so I'm hoping you fine people can assist. Recently, we switched our server map from The Island over to Scorched. Since that change, our tribe log has been only recording one event at a time - instad of the full list of what our tribe has been doing. For example, someone may cryo a dino, then claim a baby, then demolish a foundation. When you look in the tribe log, it will only show that the foundation was demolished (the most recent event). I reached out to Nitrado and reviewed my server settings. They suggested adding -MaxTribeLogs to the game ini files since ASE had that command but ASA doesn't, and if that didn't work they recommended that I reach out on this page.... MaxTribeLogs didn't work so... Here I am! Anyone have any idea what I need to do in order to fix this?? It's not the end of the world - but it is kind of annoying to only see one event - especially during tribe wars lol

[celest halo]

That's probably why, urls need to be in quotes

[acoustic elm]

ok thank you

[celest halo]

With out them it normally deletes everything after http: lol

[distant hearth]

nitrado sending you here is highly amusing ,
tbh id check any lines to do with logs in the ini files

[celest halo]

Lmao that just goes back to what I said this morning about there customer support 😭

[acoustic elm]

thats what has been happening. lol

[distant hearth]

what support?

[remote crest]

That's kinda what I thought.... Like..... Why isn't this something they can handle lol. The only things I could find related to the server game log and I have it set to include the tribe log... but nothing about the tribe log specifically. It's the weirdest thing and like I said I've had a server for literally years and I've never had this issue.

[celest halo]

Yeah should be settingname="url"

[celest halo]

The one that tells it's paying customers it's not there fault and go somewhere else for help 🤣

[distant hearth]

happens for everyone on the server?
im not sure if theres in game settings that can block it

[acoustic elm]

sweet its working now

[distant hearth]

just remember if you make changes to it, it wont update till the next server save, usually 15mins apart unless you changed it

[celest halo]

Or use the admin command to force it to reread the file

[remote crest]

I've checked with 6 people and they all have the same issue, and it's only since we switched to Scorched Earth

[acoustic elm]

yep yep 😄 finally have everything working. now for a map reset and i can actually play rather then pull my hair out 😛

[distant hearth]

honestly i have no idea then lmao , whats maxtribelogs=x set to in game.ini

default is 400

[celest halo]

Nice

[remote crest]

I just found that line in the ini settings... I'm gonna change it because its no where near 400.... Woulda been nice had nitrado pointed that out instead of suggesting I add something to the server that the server already had...

[distant hearth]

oh yea never add a line without first checking the line isnt already there, duplicates can cause all sorts weirdness

[celest halo]

I have mine using custom dynamic config and adminlisturl and a custom cosmetic whitelist url 😂

[distant hearth]

just not having the line shud default it but i havent seen what garbage nitrado has for there game.ini , usually a load stuff that aint needed unless u want to change it lol

[sleek nacelle]

What does -DoCustomCosmeticValidation do? I cant find much if any information about it. Does it allow you to dynamically download cosmetics you dont have if someone else is using them?

[distant hearth]

https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/forums/topic/736592-enable-custom-cosmetics-validation-on-unofficial/
i dont know much bout it, i think it also got changed since then

or there on about changing it, the system is to complicated

[celest halo]

I see a lot of people do that to there Gus with mod settings, put all the defaults in there for no real good reason besides not knowing better

[sleek nacelle]

yeah I saw that I was just hoping there would be more information cause to me a validation seems like its making sure the mod you have installed is whitelisted and hasnt been modified. Not that you are downloading skins that you might not have

[tepid berry]

So I take it they're going to keep letting Unofficials have this problem with bases loading, and not give us this patch at all?

[distant hearth]

yea lol i guess its not really documented very well as per usual

[distant hearth]

seems like

[sonic marsh]

Hey all, I am an admin for an Ascended Cluster and was hoping someone here with more experience could help me troubleshoot a problem our server is having. Recently the server owner had an IP address change from his network provider, and immediately afterwards players were unable to connect to The Island map. All of the other maps, we have 8 in total, are accessible but everyone that tries gets a Connection Timed Out message when trying to join The Island. Anyone experienced anything like this in the past?

[celest halo]

They don't care about unofficials

[distant hearth]

its for whitelisting cosmetic mods that arent on the official server whitelist,
downloading the mods is a seperate command iirc

[sleek nacelle]

Thank you!

I will look for that other command if it exists yet.

[distant hearth]

look up the server name on battlemetrics , make sure its running on the port you think it is an that the port is forwarded udp

[distant hearth]

-DisableCustomCosmetics
Disables the Custom Cosmetic system (allowing players to use and display special mods that should only be skins and will be downloaded automatically by the connected clients).

theres prob others i forgot

[remote crest]

It was set to 1 - i have no idea how but a huuuuge thank you. I changed it and its working. Mind is blown that nitrado didn't suggest that in the first place. Thank you so much!!

[lapis quest]

I believe it go changed, on the first time they added that whitelist link, each mod had their own Calculated package CRC, on the list it was typed as (modid|1|1|crc number), everytime said mod updated, the crc number changed so the guy in charge of that list had to manually change the numbers everyday (that why some mods stopped working for a day or two after updating)

Since aberration launched, they changed how that list works by using a universal crc (modid|1|1|1), i dont think you need to add -DocustomcosmeticValidationanymore cause every mod approved on the list is working on the same code, even after updating

[distant hearth]

no problem, glad u got it sorted , never hold much hope in nitrado to actually help, for years i had xbox servers with them and had to direct there support on what needed fixing lolz

[sonic marsh]

Thank you, I will get that information to the server owner so he can check on it! Much appreciated!

[jaunty vortex]

Make sure they are specifying the port correctly with
-port=

If they use ?port=
It will set the port in the order the servers are started, starting with 7777

[sonic marsh]

That would be in the .ini file, correct?

[distant hearth]

no , its a commandline setting

[jaunty vortex]

No, server start parameters

[distant hearth]

or w.e u call it, people use both 🙂

[sonic marsh]

Thank you, I'll share that with them as well

[sonic marsh]

Is there some reason that it would change for only 1 map of the 8 after the owners network IP address change? I'm not doubting you in any way, I just don't know much about the server side of things and trying to learn more so I can help my server better if issues ever arise.

[distant hearth]

it will all depend on how the servers were setup in the first place ,
if a port isnt set they use defaults , that go 7777udp, 7778udp etc etc as each server instance is started .
its possible the owner is using the correct port command, which is why i always suggest checking what port the server is actually using on the battlemetrics site, once that is confirmed, can then use a udp port checker to make sure its actually open

[tepid berry]

There's also a bug that if you set the session name in the startup script, and the session name has a space in it, it'll try to use default port 7777 instead of the one specified.

So checking if the server is indeed running on the port you think it is, is a good idea.

[distant hearth]

thats not a bug , just incorrect use of batch file commands, if u want a space in session name just have to use
?sessionname="my server with spaces"

[sonic marsh]

@distant hearth @tepid berry @jaunty vortex I want to thank you for the suggestions and assistance, I'm sending all this info to my server owner. He checked the ports and said they are all set up correctly as far as he can see and he will check the server start parameters as well.

[tepid berry]

That was according to the server manager helper app that David posted yesterday

[jaunty vortex]

Following what W1ll said, I had it connect me to the wrong server because the port was wrong.

[celest halo]

That's why we don't use server managers

[distant hearth]

i guess server managers have there uses , once u actually know what there doing, so u can fix issues if they occur

[jaunty vortex]

I use a server manager but then I also know enough to know what it’s doing and if it’s correct 🙂

[celest halo]

Half the time by that point you could of just did it by hand 🤣

[distant hearth]

i think it was prob you that was teaching me how back last xmas, then i just spent a load time playing about an seeing exactly how things work

[celest halo]

I never used a manager but I also run my servers on Linux and even with ASE most of the managers were for windows 😂

[round badger]

Hi everyone I just had to reinstall windows on my computer, does ark survival evolved have cloud saves?

[distant hearth]

if u was playing on a server shud be fine, if single player, prob lost the data

[bleak ivy]

PC xbox does, steam does not. for singleplayer.

no idea about epic. would assume it doesn't.

@round badger

[distant hearth]

public 15842903 2 minutes ago

[jaunty vortex]

Beat me to it 😂

[distant hearth]

funny thing is i havent checked since this morning, then someone in general asked about, i thought hmm will check , then managed to post same time as stolen,
think he has a bot set to notify though lmao

[jaunty vortex]

He does.

It watches and tells him when the status changes.

He did show me but it went over my head.

[distant hearth]

fair , mine too, i just rely on here haha
lil an skittle were both in general a bit ago, iasked both if was news on the release but dint get a response, so maybe they poked someone to press the button or it was just coincidence

[round badger]

@bleak ivy oh thank God over 149h I would have lost

[celest halo]

i do have a bot for it lmao

also got my bot checking for updates to mods i have installed on my cluster lmao

[distant hearth]

nice

[alpine mountain]

Installed the 53.9 update to my unofficial server and we still have structure rendering problems. This still happening to anyone else?

[distant hearth]

server shud be on 53.11
53.9 is a client side update

[lapis quest]

Sadly didnt fixed the render issues

Still the same thing...

[celest halo]

I hope it does for me, out of 3 people on my cluster I'm the only one with the issue 😂

There bases are fine

I won't know till I get home from work

[prisma slate]

Not me literally just telling my server I just updated to the patch, only to come here and read it didn't fix it. I sincerely hope it did, guess we'll see on my end as well.

[clear peak]

It did fix rendering for me

I wonder what causes the difference for some. Weird. I have seen some people on official also still have it despite patch

[prisma slate]

System differences maybe, like graphics cards and personal settings come to mind.

[clear peak]

Yea, may explain why some people on my server never had it but i did. Theres also some having crashes but others not

[humble thicket]

Hiw do i send screenshot

[celest halo]

I would say sure but the fix is on server side not client so it's even weirder that only happens for some on the server and not others

[humble thicket]

There is a player that is scamming players from server 5603 and has his name as Alliance of Human his name is XxDextroyerxX-22

[celest halo]

I do have the best PC and highest graphics settings out of all the people on my server and was only me at my base that had the issue, there bases loaded fine for me 😂

[humble thicket]

He is adding players to "alliance" and it is his tribe instead... then taking everything from them and kicking them

[celest halo]

This channel is for unofficial we have nothing to do with official servers

[prisma slate]

For the most part I will say that it did become playable as the day progressed still had some rendering issues but it improved with time. So it is quite a weird situation.

[distant hearth]

#reporting-players
you might also know this "unofficial " lolz, literally worst place to post that

[celest halo]

I haven't tried the patch yet, but mine was playable just had to login and wait 15min for my base to fully load 🤣

[humble thicket]

Oh I accidentally hit the wrong channel guys i apologize

[prisma slate]

Pretty much the same lol sometimes interactions wouldn't work and I'd sit and think about life while I wait for it smooth out and do the things 😅

[celest halo]

Everything else was fine for me, I have 2 more hours till I can see if this patch fixed my base loading

[prisma slate]

All good as others said I think reporting is your best bet.

[jaunty vortex]

Base or a mansion? 😂

[humble thicket]

I hit report player and it brought me here again

[celest halo]

Base, its smaller then my friends and I can go to his and it be fully loaded, go back to mine and half would still be missing 🤣

[humble thicket]

If this is unofficial it shouldn't be a default for reporting. Sorry for the intrusion

[prisma slate]

Open the server channels and locate the category game support, under it You'll find player reporting there.

[humble thicket]

I did exactly that and it sends me here

[prisma slate]

Hm

[humble thicket]

3 times in a row... for sum reason it auto defaulted me here

Ok have a wonderful day either way

[distant hearth]

reload discord or summit , it shudnt do that

[prisma slate]

https://support.survivetheark.com/hc/en-us/articles/360026429153-How-to-report-Code-of-Conduct-violations

Try that

[humble thicket]

Thank you

[prisma slate]

Np!

[lapis quest]

My configs are quite good also, having the problem pré/post patch

Center/Ti/Se loads just fine, nothing works on aberration

[celest halo]

new patch fixed base loading for me

[dapper spear]

Any idea why characters keep getting deleted? I've had to comp so many characters the last two days. . .

[delicate tendon]

Anyone here on Xbox having constant crashes after about the third time you hop on a single player world? Mods or no mods doesn't matter. It loads up as far as my seeing my hot bar and then completely ctd

[dapper spear]

Any idea why characters keep getting deleted? I've had to comp so many characters the last two days. . .

[main orchid]

Private unofficial server. It's PVE and just a bunch of friends together in their own tribes. We wanted to do alliances just to make life easier but the PVP is off for the server. Server owner turned the offline raid thing off so alliances can work but it's still not working - what are we doing wrong/how are we supposed to do it?

[wicked creek]

anyone know an ini that changes turrets ranges? like to increase or decrease their maximum targeting distance

[gloomy venture]

Ping on the office server 5757 Aberation 500-1000, maybe someone knows how to deal with this?

[heavy jay]

Anyone know of a mini boss mod or anything similar

[wicked creek]

Look in #1110925695900713072

[tepid berry]

It's a known issue with unofficial servers; use -converttostore -usestore and -BackupTransferPlayerDatas with your unofficial server, and you'll have much more stable player data. I followed this advice and haven't lost a character in months now. Do a full server backup beforehand though. While this has worked for many of us, there's always a possibility something goes wrong. Ideally, you'll use this on all servers in your cluster - but seems to be safe (from my testing) to migrate servers one-by-one.

[jaunty vortex]

You only need to use -converttostore the first time you start the server up with -usestore.

after that you only need -usestore

[cinder jolt]

does it matter that in the server search it doesn't show my "build"?

[cerulean jetty]

Why does harvest multiplier only work on stone

[last hornet]

Gotta use global multiplier maybe

[pure haven]

is it safe to update servers already? my cluster still running at 53.1 version and havent gotten any rendering issues so far but there is problems on abb with slightly higher ping than on other maps

[gloomy venture]

Why is Drake taking radiation damage?

[lapis quest]

@distant hearthHey there, just found about the BackupTransferPlayerDatas using -usestore commandlines and we are about to add this into our servers, people are losing their characters every day

Worst case cenario, how do you backup a character (if something bad happens post commandlines) using this new save methods?

If i got it right, lmk if i'm wrong:
1: -converttostore -usestore -BackupTransferPlayerDatas on command lines, this is only for the first time so all the data is converted.
2: Remove -converttostore on the next time we shutdown the map.
Pretty much done here, the questions are: How does -BackupTransferPlayerDatas works? It creates profile saves everytime the map performs a save?

[distant hearth]

step 1 and 2 yes thats right,
as for the -backuptransferplayerdatas i havent had a chance to look more into it so not certain, my guess wud be it backups player data only when they transfer maps . again though just a guess , its never been an issue for me to have to look into it , so convert to that save format at your own risk

[lapis quest]

We added all 3 commandlines right now, hopefully we wont be needing to restore lost characters anymore

[flint oasis]

Morning! I was wondering if anyone has a setting or a mod that allows for offline breeding? Thanks!

[vital perch]

Use egg collector it auto pick up eggs and hold 600 per collector

[flint oasis]

Huh? No they dont lay eggs or breed when we are offline

[vital perch]

Single player?

[flint oasis]

Nope...

[flint oasis]

Dedicated server. If no one is online nothing is breeding. This was not a thing in ASE and I have no idea which setting it is for ASA

[vital perch]

Qol has a structure you can add dinos in to breed.
Does the server have the freeze areas of the map setting on?

[flint oasis]

The propagator? Also, are you talking about the tick meshes setting? I thought that was just to allow dinos to move when you're not in the area?

[vital perch]

Map hibernation, itll freeze any part of the map that has no active players

[celest halo]

ASE did that also, used to log in and watch a dozen eggs i had out all hatch at the same time

[flint oasis]

I know about hibernation in the maps... but ASA doesn't seem to have that. Do you knwo where to find that setting?

[flint oasis]

ASE you could click the setting in GPortal for hibernation. You cannot breed in ASA without being online. Eggs are not really what I am aiming at as much. It is Mating in general. They do not mate when we are offline. I do not know where the setting is to turn it on. I have tried -nohibernation in the past and that does not work. So I am asking if anyone knows which setting to either add via ini or if Nitrado has a setting I am not aware of. OR If someone has knowledge of a MOD we can add to the server to allow offline mating/breeding.

[distant hearth]

theres not asetting for it, in ase we used to leave them on wandering to have them do this, or use a mod with a hitching post an set them wandering

[celest halo]

dedicated servers dont hibernate, things do go into stasis through

[distant hearth]

before i had mods, i wud make pens that kept them jammed in one spot , then leave on wandering, once i had mods, , hitching post made it so much easier

[celest halo]

and as w1llz said hitching post normally keeps them from going into stasis

[distant hearth]

hitching post with dsv2 nat set an auto turn off mating when full was the way forward 🙂

[flint oasis]

Yeah we just put a mod with hitching post Cyber Structures. So, do you think wandering would work better than just enabling mating when we are offline?

[distant hearth]

they wont breed offline if just set to mate, they have to be on wandering

[flint oasis]

That makes sense lol When ASE put the mating button in that is when we had no more offline breeding lol Been playing since ASE was in Beta 😄 I have seen a lot of changes lol

[celest halo]

just wandering wont help either if you dont have something to keep them from going into stasis

[distant hearth]

ive not tried in asa tbh , but ase just wandering wud do it, so maybe they changed something

[celest halo]

Actors in stasis will not move, in case of creatures, and no physics will be calculated around them. Creatures will not lay Eggs nor wander, gather resources, or have statistics changes. However, upon exiting stasis, creatures will resume what they were doing, and their food value will be calculated and applied, as well mating times for Fertilized Eggs laying and pregnancy times. In the case of structures, they will be loaded and physics will be applied again and where applicable the related decay times.

[silver kayak]

Hi, can anyone tell me if they have a way to turn off friendlyfire on my unofficial server ? Pls

[celest halo]

i dont have a way to change any settings on your server, but there is a bDisableFriendlyFire setting you could use

[distant hearth]

so i was poking about a bit , i think the -backupplayertransferdata is just keeping a copy of the players transferdata(eos id) in the cluster folder .
i cant really confirm properly though as it just me on the servers ,
before i had that set i seem to rem after the 15min world save, that file wud get merged into the .ark world file an be gone from the cluster folder ...
will test more as when i get chance
EDIT nvm i dunno whats going on tbh haha , i have data in the cluster folder thats staying(prob coz i uploaded items)
but also have a <eosid>.arkprofile in the world saved data folder hmmm

[silver kayak]

@celest halo do i have to turn this setting on each time i log on ?

[celest halo]

it goes in the game ini file

[silver kayak]

Ok thank you ✌️

[flint oasis]

Wandering worked! Thank you! 🙂

[craggy vigil]

Is Nitrado a good host for ASA servers

[olive talon]

It's the only rentable host for ASA

[craggy vigil]

Okay can Beacon still be used to enhance your options for customization and whatnot? It’s been a few years since I made a server and that was on ASE

[olive talon]

Of course, it has an option to choose ASA or ASE when creating a new project, and both can of course be sent/received directly from your nitrado server.

[craggy vigil]

Sweet! Sorry to bother with another question but I’m buying the server with my laptop, that won’t affect the quality of the server will it? Some people said it does but I think they meant if you host it with your own stuff but I wasn’t sure

[olive talon]

Lol you're perfectly fine, that's what this channel is for. It does not matter what you use to rent the server, your specs only matter if you're using it to make your own dedicated server. I do believe you still need to download the Nitrado app from the Microsoft store to rent an Xbox server, regardless of it being fully cross-platform after renting.

[craggy vigil]

Okay sweet! Thank you for helping

[olive talon]

You're welcome

[austere bone]

Can dear jane and the gigantoraptor be removed as mods? its been awhile and i couldn't find if they were integrated into the game yet or not

[distant hearth]

yes both can be removed, part of base game now

[austere bone]

thank you!

[flint oasis]

Anyone having loot drop issues lately? We can't find drops in dungeons all the sudden and anything outside of the dungeons is pure shit 😛 I have our loot table set at 2 which it has been since ASA dropped a year ago thanks!

[distant hearth]

the only time i ever seen issues is if the option
randomsupplycrates=true has been set

[flint oasis]

That setting is no longer there it looks like O.o I used to have it on random but now I cant find that setting. That is strange

[distant hearth]

thats good, if its not there then the server defaults to using normal ie set as false, u dont want that setting true it causes to much trouble

[flint oasis]

Gotcha... I guess there is no fix then 😦 its like we got the suppply drops in dungeons and they never respawned

[distant hearth]

do u have drop overides in the game .ini , i.e custom drops set through beacon or manually done?

also any mods on the server? some of those can fiddle with the drop settings

[cinder jolt]

Ark: Survival Evolved (ASE)

Does anybody know how to adjust the maximum points that can go into a player's stats?

For example, if I set each level to increase by 10x for weight (PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[7]=10.0) per point, I'd like to cap the stat out at max of 1,000 weight. I know there is a way to do this but I've been searching for a while and haven't found what I'm looking for. Everything points to how max stas are 255, I'm not talking about that 😂 I want to set HARD CAPS on Movement Speed, Weight, and Crafting.

[distant hearth]

i dont think its possible in the way ure thinking,
the closest solution i can think of wud be to have the players spawn in with a base level of 1000 weight by change the base mutiplier ,
then have the perlevelstatsmutiplier be set at 0.001 so it basically does nothing.
all server configs can be found here if u want dig around more an try find another solution

[ashen plover]

i do have one question about the Nitrado does it run off your pc or does it run off an data center?

[distant hearth]

nitrado servers run off there own data centres

[ashen plover]

ok cause i never hosted my own server etc

is it not recommended to start one right now since so many

[tepid berry]

Are there any kind of mitigations for the "can't access the inventory of random stuff in game" bug?

Everyone knows the 'just relog and it'll work again'...but any other tricks?

[jaunty vortex]

run? 🤔 fast walk maybe

[jaunty vortex]

if you have a spare PC with 16GB of RAM and a reasonably modern CPU the you can host your own server

if you have 32GB or more RAM you can host several

[distant hearth]

i was actually playing the game and running , centre an scorched earlier on 32gb ram, a lil bit stuttering here an there zooming about in gcm but not terrible lmao

[cinder jolt]

I know it's possible to cap stats as I capped it years ago to 180% movement speed.

[jaunty vortex]

If it's paging out to a PCI-E 4.0 nvme drive then you might get away with 2 servers and the game without any slow down

[distant hearth]

well i gave u the link for all ini settings , so u will have to dig through an figure it out , other than the work wround i said i dont how its possible

[distant hearth]

shhh, my servers run on a clunky old 2tb hdd atm hahaha , havent got around to moving them , i have too many drives an slowly sorting out old storage to clean up

tbf there was only a few mods on them an nothing built , so that must help alot
