Crew's Ark Config Files

Automatic mod installation is working fine. On Linux we had to create a symlink at one point, but I think it got fixed.

What you mean create a symlink can you explain, i have tried everything of my knowledge but no luck on getting it to work.

do i have to do this for every server or is there a way to make a script to auto do this to all servers

[Paully]

What im asking is i have 19 servers, how do i get the mods to symlink or transfer to mods folder on all servers without having to do it manually and for new servers to do the same

[Dennis]

Try doing it with one server and see if it works. If it doesn't work, it's not that specific issue.

If it does fix it, you'll have to create a script that creates the symlink.

im not really understanding this one bit, sorry for not having alot of knowledge on this, is there any way you can explain this in an easier way

[Dennis]

Send me a PM and I'll have a look for you.

Thank you for the help you gave me Dennis. With the link and help you gave, i did some research and found how to symlink and also found a way to fix it for all servers, current and new.

 

The main fix i did besides symlink is a issue with steamcmd not installing correctly on linux servers, found that fix on the steam forums.

 

Thanks again Dennis you were the biggest help.

[Dennis]

No problem, buddy. Glad you managed to fix it

I have just create a server with your config, what about the problem / bug of 70 slots? I have changed in every option, and still there are 70 slots.

Any solution please?

[thewreckingcrew6]

Howdy tcadmin@mgservers.eu

 

The setting has been set in the server settings?

[Dennis]

If the server starts with 70 slots, it's most likely not starting correctly. 70 slots is the default.

If the server is starting with a map that's not present, it won't start at all. It'll still show 70 slots, though.

[DoomHammer69]

The server starts with the island and I can connect and play. It?s really anoying :/

I have try to remove from the commandline, to put without the tcadmin service slots, different ways and the result is the same

 

 

thewreckingcrew6 yes, I have put in the server settings too.

Post your command line.

[DoomHammer69]

![Map]?MultiHome=$[service.IpAddress]?Port=$[service.GamePort]?QueryPort=$[service.QueryPort]?RCONPort=$[service.RConPort]?listen -server -log

 

This is the last wich I use without serviceslots

 

 

[/script/engine.gamesession]

MaxPlayers=70

 

This is overwritten when I start the server in gameusersettings.ini

Edited November 3, 2017 by DoomHammer69

[Dennis]

Try including MaxPlayers in your command line.

[DoomHammer69]

That?s already fix it.

 

The problem was in GameUserSettings.ini

I was using IP failover, and tcadmin didn?t overwrite with the correct IP, so the server starts in the failover, but with default config ( as you said, the server dont startup correctly)

Thanks also

[sparky81]

automods still now working for windows? cant get it start up with mods any help please guys

[Dennis]

What does your GameUserSettings.ini and Game.ini look like?

[DoomHammer69]

With this config its supossed the server will download and update the mods but I think, as Sparky, dont works.

I have put the IDs in configuration files but no download.

Any ideas how to make this funtcionally?

[scarecr0w12]

I'm having a problem with it downloading the mods via linux, i've checked the thread a little and noted others using linux are having similar issues. Does anyone have a resolution or work around?

 

Per the console it says its downloading, but none of the files are actually there. Any help is appreciated.

[Dennis]

SteamCMD on Linux has been changed. It should be downloading to /home/username/Steam or /SteamCMD now instead of /home/user/ID/Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/SteamCMD/Linux/steamapps.

 

Since the files never end up in /home/user/ID/Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/SteamCMD/Linux/steamapps/, ARK won't extract the mod files and move them to /ShooterGame/Content/Mods/.

 

To fix this, you just have to create a symlink between the two directories.

ln -s /home/user/Steam/steamapps/ /home/user/ID/Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/SteamCMD/Linux/steamapps/

So you would have to create this symlink for every user? Were you able to do it with a script? If so would you mind sharing? I'm new to this and mods are driving me crazy!

[Dennis]

Yes. We created a custom script that executed after creating the game server. I no longer have the script as we've switched to Windows on all servers as most game servers (including ARK) uses much less memory.
