There is an ark admin pack on steam somewhere contains a spreadsheet with the ability to make custom game.ini's I really wanted lvl 100 cap but lvl 101 would take a long long grind, no idea how to set it up.

yes will do

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.

I think a small victory was achieved here today in the ever raging battle of man vs software. Had a full Ark update and several mod updates and all went well and nothing stopped working. Those allusive .mod files I had deleted at some stage were refusing to download with steam, then couldnt download any mods for a while. Sub'd and un-sub'd over and over until steam gave up the goods. Thanks all, I can actually go back to playing the game for a while.

Although somehow my server is running two mods again but I cant find these .mod files?

Trying to have another go at getting these to work again. Re-downloaded the newest versions of the mods I want. Had a stupid issue with the dl from steam and was speaking to the mod author for help and eventually got it downloaded. So now I am sure I have the latest version of the mod folder im confused as I dont have any files in it or any others that are formated as a .mod file. Also havent emptied my pc's trash can in a long time so I could check back to mod folders ive deleted in the past that were working on this server pre Ark version 200 and they also dont have any .mod files. There are INFO files named mod if thats what is meant? Only other thing that is not very clear is the placement of the Custom launch param line containing the mod id's. GameModIds=479295136,485964701 Is this correct placement into the code: /Game/Maps/TheIslandSubMaps/TheIsland?GameModIds=479295136,485964701?Multihome=**.***.***.***?Port=*****?QueryPort=*****?SessionName=PURE PVE x3H,x5T,x3XP (Modsx2)?MaxPlayers=30?listen?ServerPassword=****?ServerAdminPassword=****?RCONEnabled=True?RCONPort=*****?AltSaveDirectoryName=SavedArk****?AllowThirdPersonPlayer=true AkuShima recommends it to be first. Update Working, only change is I used a fresh GameUserSettings.ini it also doesnt have ActiveMods=485964701,479295136 anywhere under the server settings so not sure if it needs it or if that was an issue if the mods are ref in the custom launch param

I thought this one advertised 24/7 support but seems not to be the case so far. I noticed I only get tickets answered during normal working times in america. Which isnt so good for me in the UK. Anyway I got a reply on steam from a guy called Face Wound. He clams to be the person working on the Tool and also developed ARKon. Originally posted by Hunter:So what about all of us that use rented servers? "There will be a remote app to access this from a hosting, the hosting services will be able to install this when its done.. http://steamcommunity.com/app/346110/discussions/10/530649887208240167/#c530649887208733080" Other info from same person. When the remote server wrapper is complete hosts will have the option to move over to use that and the features from the tool that you can do locally will be available on hosted solutions too, when the host switches it over to use it. 15 Aug @ 7:18pm So I guess we are waiting until the Ark server manager allows remote access to a rented server. Then we have to wait for survival servers to install it. Then it actually has to work.... Literally the only reason I rented a server was to use mods and control the settings myself. If I wanted to play on a vanilla server there are 100's to pick from, id have no need to waste my money. Mildly frustrated is an understatement after troubleshooting this for days now, there was never any point trying to fix it on rented servers until ark get their finger out and fix the tool and SS actually implement it. Ill check back in 2 weeks.

Thanks, feel a bit better im not the only one. Im not tec minded so I really dont understand what it is were waiting for to make them work. Do we have to wait for Ark server Management tool to support rented servers? Do the mods need reworked, do I need to do something to install properly. Are we just left in limbo? Is it survival servers side as everyone with a personally owned server at home can use mods just the same as before? I mean the mods work on local single player, why on earth can i not just upload the files to the server and run them. Is there really nothing I can do but sit here reading forum posts.

I have read everything, followed every tutorial and walk through. Had 3 mods running a few days ago with very little trouble except the initial learning curve. Ark core update v200.x came and there was a lot of mods didnt work, ok then I wait for update. Updates came, forum posts full of servers back up and running again. Some running Aku Shima and Ark reborn which is the two I want to use and had been using. Tried and tried again to get my serer going with these mods working but its still the base game, no engrams no AR dino's. I have cleared the mod folder in the server and did a fresh install on a fresh wipe. Even tried standard gamesetting ini, tried starting without cmd or custom launch code, tried just one mod, tried changing the order of the mods. Nothing showing. Had some issues where server was showing Shootergame as the map in the list of ARK servers. I really thought I had this all worked out but nothing I do will get these mods to run. Id be eternally greatfull for any help. serversettings I have a line ActiveMod=479295136,485964701 In custom launch I have - and im gona paste the full thing as its a pile of mad code I really dont understand if I need it all or not but as I said it was working a few days ago and now im just lost. /Game/Maps/TheIslandSubMaps/TheIsland?GameModIds=479295136,485964701?Multihome=**.***.***.***?Port=*****?QueryPort=*****?SessionName=PURE PVE x3H,x5T,x3XP (Modsx2)?MaxPlayers=30?listen?ServerPassword=****?ServerAdminPassword=****?RCONEnabled=True?RCONPort=*****?AltSaveDirectoryName=SavedArk****?AllowThirdPersonPlayer=true

Ordered and paid over one and a half hours ago, no e-mail. Invoice ID 20930 PAID but under Orders it has a pending ID 13601 so does that mean payment is still not accepted or what is going on.
