B indicates booleans, it's not a overall standard but a different approach each of the ARK devs take.

No ETAs currently. Since these are not official from Exile devs, there's no ETA and no guarantees.

It works with the auto restart feature. On a restart it checks for updates and applies them.

Definitely not. The only reason it got rolled back was because 50% or more of the servers out there are behind double firewalls (Windows + router) so you can imagine the amount of complaints they received after that patch.

This requires staff intervention, please create a support ticket for us to help.

I can vouch that Arkon is NOT broken. I've been using it since inception. It DOES disconnect every couple minutes but always reconnects immediately. Something to do with the game itself there.

The best way would be to submit a support ticket for us to do it or you can do this:

Just loaded my server with this Map after playing on their server.. Pretty easy following the guide and server config page info boxes..

I have included a couple of attachments to get noobs at least connected and familure with scripts.
 
Attached file "Capture1.jpg" shows how to setup a connection.
 
Attached file "Capture2.jpg" shows an example on how to use scripts. I have shown how to kill all Alpha Rex aka "Mega Rex" in the world every minute. This was handy in removing all Alpha Rex spawns prior to developers adding in replacement spawns and spawn multipliers in the server config. All script commands are found at: http://ark.gamepedia.com/Console_Commands

That is really good customer service.  Thanks Ryan!  I think I saw that I could change how often it backs up as well, so we might try that for a little relief.  I haven't needed to restore in the 3 months we have had the server, so probably moving that to every 2 hours should be fine.

You have your mod list comma separated with spaces. you should not have spaces.
 
I am checking to see if that fixed the issue. If it does not please let me know.

Sorry for wasting your time I found out what was the issue. But like I tweeted out. Best Response time ever. Keep up the great work.

Thank you sir , I guess i found my game host then.

Thanks Ryan,
 
Found some more things if it helps. Seems adding some of the values don't actually have any effect. Don't see some of the entries in the ini file on the server nore in the startup string. Shouldn't we?
 
Had these entries in our custom startup string and transferred the values to the new config:
WORKS: AllowThirdPersonPlayer=true ShowMapPlayerLocation=true TamingSpeedMultiplier=2.5 PlayerCharacterWaterDrainMultiplier=0.5 PlayerCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier=0.5 ProximityChat=false DOESN'T WORK: GlobalVoiceChat=false HarvestAmountMultiplier=2 HAVN'T BEEN ABLE TO VERIFY YET: NoTributeDownloads=true DayCycleSpeedScale=1 NightTimeSpeedScale=6 DayTimeSpeedScale=1 AutoSavePeriodMinutes=15 Keep it up!

Added to the list. Will be updating later today. Thank you!

Thank you for the assistance Ryan. All is now working after the server transfer. I really appreciate the help in getting this problem fixed.

Hello! 
 
If you guys need any server help feel free to comment on this form, I will help any way I can!

My Youtube  has many tutorials about Unturned.

If you got ftp access you can easily change the GameUSerSettings.ini to turn on map locations and crosshair.
 
All you need to do is connect to your server with your FTP client (a guide can be found https://www.survivalservers.com/forum/index.php?/topic/1479-lrn2ftp-beginners-guide-to-ftp/)
 
Once you are connected, you need to go to /ShooterGame/Saved/Config/WindowsServer on the server. There you should find a file called GameUserSettings.ini
 
In GameUSerSettings.ini should be a section called [serverSettings], in that you can find general server settings. Change the ones you want to change, and add the ones that aren't allready there
ShowMapPlayerLocation=True ServerCrossHair=True TamingSpeedMultiplier=1 Only do this when the server is DOWN. do NOT edit this file when the server is running cause it will reset itself to the default values.

Wow thanks, the launch parameter is probably the reason.

Is it custom levels and engram points you are trying to setup? My Game.ini was blank before I pasted someone else's code in and its going ok after patch 200. Ive a level 101 character cap and still messing with the engram points per level.

Addendum : They now allow you to register with gmail...  =)

I am working on a better method for the installation of mods mods, wrapped altogether in the panel. Hang in there
 
The aforementioned method in my previous post *does* work, just requires a bit of FTP uploading.

Here's a quick check list to go through when adding mods to your server.
Do you have the mods uploaded in the \ShooterGame\Content\Mods\ folder like such? \ShooterGame\Content\Mods\479295136\ \ShooterGame\Content\Mods\485964701\ Also are there .mod files in this folder for the above mod IDs? \ShooterGame\Content\Mods\479295136.mod \ShooterGame\Content\Mods\485964701.mod Custom launch params add this option (make sure the hierarchy is per mod developer recommendation): GameModIds=479295136,485964701 I am trying out the mod install on a test server, I'll post here when I have an update.
 
UPDATE: Works fine, just tested using the above method.

There's no issues with our hosting setup, you can and have always been able to install mods on your own, this guide is just outdated as I have stated above. For advanced manipulation of your server, you have to go out and read documentation from Steam guides and some of the mod developers. We have tutorials on our end, but sometimes it takes us a few days to get it public (on the forums or wherever else) due to the constant changing of things from ARK's end. But yeah, you've always had access to FTP to upload the mods and access to your custom launch params to launch mod(s) without any intervention from us or any changes on our end.
 
Check here for the most updated method to install mods, I will update this topic soon.

Make sure your server is offline before making those changes. I've had problems with the GameUserSettings.ini resetting, but that was usually cause i changed it before the server was down. 
 
 
Changing the DefaultGameUSerSettings.ini will work, but you will have to change it EVERYTIME the devs make a change to it cause it will reset to the default values with a patch.
