Hey all Capps here!
 
Since the release of DayZ Standalone there have been some requests out there to enable server owners to keep the time of day on their server set to certain point. For example some may want their server to always remain in daylight and others might want eternal darkness. So with that, I've gone ahead and written a small server side script to do just that! Lets dive right into it!
 
So that's great Capps, well what does this script do exactly?
Great question, this script allows server owners to set a Start and End hour which their server will continuously loop through! The best example is that it will allow for the server to always remain day time or night time or anywhere in-between. The times that the server loops through is entirely up to the server owner!  
Okay enough already, tell us how to install this!
 
The installation is rather simple as the script is entirely server side! You can read the in-depth installation instructions here!
 
If you encounter any issues with the script please either post the issues/questions here or over on the Github page!

Ticket #:  243606
Server ID: 48641
 
EDIT:  Resolved in less than 10 minutes I think, awesome support

Thanks and really, it was for the kids!
 
Glad they put on events like this, it really is good for the community to encourage donating to good causes.

We will go live immediately when it is available on this page:
 
https://store.steampowered.com/app/887380/ARK_Extinction__Expansion_Pack/

We'll be saving this thread as a placeholder until a viable tool comes out 
 
It is possible that RCON is similar at launch to that of ARK: Survival Evolved in which case ARKON might work:

*** FYI: Found and Solved the issue***
It was LastPass (Password Manager) was changing the fields I turned it off in Chrome and all OK now.

Thanks will try it out 

These commands don't appear to be working so far.
 
I've tried these (with proper capitalization from the creatures file name) but it doesn't work even after a cheat destroywilddinos

In your GameUserSettings.ini file under [serverSettings] edit this code:
 
DinoCountMultiplier=1.000000
 
If the code above is not there just add it.
 
Changing to 2.000000 will double the amount of dinos spawning, change to 0.500000 will reduce it by half.
 
Stop the server, add the code, restart the server.... Remember to do a wild dino wipe after starting.

Create a file called AllowedCheaterSteamIDs.txt in the directory ShooterGame\Saved and add your Steam ID (remember, Steam64 ID)
 
Get your steam id 64 from here:
 
https://steamid.io/

Unfortunately it's in the devs hands, we don't have any control over getting that fixed. I've already let our contact know about the issue a few days ago.

Rate variables might be different, would suggest using FTP to make changes to GameUserSettings.ini until we fix up the Modify Server Config tool. We're learning it all as well. I don't have an answer for you about the crashes, game is on day 1.

It's day 1 and would recommend using FTP for changes to GameUserSettings.ini that don't work on the MSC tool. It's very similar to ARK which is why we mirrored the tool but will take us some time to clean up and remove / change variables that are different/added/removed.

Heads up, options #1 in OP post Survival Launcher doesn't seem to work for ARK.
 
UPDATE, #1 has been removed and replaced so ignore comment above.

Would it be possible to add the custom launch params ?DisableWeatherFog=true and ?RandomSupplyCratePoints=true relatively soon? Thank you!

- Login to your server.
- Type /whoami
- Note the ID that appears in chat
 
- Login to the FTP for your server instance
- Navigate to the Configs folder of your server instance
- Download and edit the Users.eco file
- You need to update the Admins section to look similar to the code snip-it below.
- You will be replacing the "12345678901234567" with the ID that appeared in chat when you ran the /whoami command.
"Admins": { "$id": "4", "System.String": { "$type": "System.Collections.Generic.List`1[[System.String, mscorlib]], mscorlib", "$values": [ "12345678901234567" ] } }, - If you need or want to add multiple admins you need to ensure all but the last ID entry has a comma at the end of the line.
"Admins": { "$id": "4", "System.String": { "$type": "System.Collections.Generic.List`1[[System.String, mscorlib]], mscorlib", "$values": [ "12345678901234567", "76543210987654321" ] } }, - Upload the file back to your server instance's configs folder and overwrite the existing file if asked.
- You will need to update this config file every time you update the server.

You do have access via FTP to the Configs directory. All of the config is there.
 
You just need to make sure the server is Stopped prior to changing anything and to close out your FTP completely before Starting again.

Will be adding it here in the next few days due to high demand.

Done! Added to Modify Server Config tool

Yep! Just like Ragnarok. The minute it launches =)

Thanks Survival Servers, for everything you do for all of us nerds looking to create a place to hang with our friends.
Here's to the next 5 and onwards from there.

Sweet, for anyone who's reading this, it does in fact report tribe logs as well. When one tribe killed another tribes dino, it showed up exactly like it would in a tribe log in my admin server logs. Happy day! 

I think the confusion here is pretty simple, the reason the ticket doesn't exist is because the ticket is not one made on SurvivalServers because the servers he's talking about in the OP, Asia 120 Scorched Earth and EU 210 Ragnarok are both Official Servers.
 
The OP is confused as to what this SurvivalServers forum is.
 
He needs to use https://survivetheark.comwhere he originally created the support ticket.

I've experienced this issue myself and I have an easy solution that prevents any need for rollback and simply requires the Admin to handle Wild Dino Wipe slightly differently.
 
I use RCON for when I do stuff like this, but it doesn't make any difference if you do the commands ingame. This is what I do.
 
I back-up my saved folder prior to doing dino wipe, I do daily manual back-ups anyway for my piece of mind. I then do Wild Dino Wipe. Immediately after I do another Save World via RCON. The dino wipe will most likely cause the server to hang after a few minutes, please note that the server may appear to lose connection when it hangs, but it doesn't fully crash (not for me anyway), and if I leave it for a short period the connection will re-establish with no requirement to restart the server. Then everything will be fine. The reason you are getting a rollback is because you are manually restarting the server and therefore it will restart using the most recent save file which is likely to be a little old anywhere upto an hour.
 
If you leave the server for at least 10 minutes or so after doing wild dino wipe then you should be able to get on with no problems and no rollback.

Glad to hear that this worked! 
Let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with.
