I'm not sure how to do it on the control panel, but you can delete the TheIsland.ark file in the Saved Ark folder. If you do that and start the map back up, it should generate a new map.

The "Disable PvE Friendly Fire" option doesn't appear to be working. I have it set on the control panel, but we're still able to hurt each other when we're in the same tribe. I checked the game.ini file and it's not written there. I tried adding it manually and it's still not working. The "Disable PvP" does work.

I was investigating an issue with my game.ini file when I noticed that the line that modifies your health is on the same line as the one before it. In my case, it was on the same line as ResourceNoReplenishRadiusStructures with no line breaks or spaces. It looked like this is the file: ResourceNoReplenishRadiusStructures=1PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[0]=5.00 I put PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[0]=5.00 on its own line and it works properly, now.

To increase the player's max level, you have to use the following command: LevelExperienceRampOverrides=(ExperiencePointsForLevel[0]=1,ExperiencePointsForLevel[1]=2,...,ExperiencePointsForLevel[148]=2000) You have to write "ExperiencePointsForLevel[a]=b" for every level where "a" is the level and "b" is the amount of XP needed to reach that level. There's more about it on the ARK wiki http://ark.gamepedia.com/Server_Configuration#.ini-Only_Options

I've been having a similar issue, though I haven't submitted a ticket for it, yet. I wasn't sure if it was the game, the server, or the ini file itself. I haven't had issues with the GameUserData.ini file but I am having problems with the Game.ini file. If I make the changes, stop the server, then start the server again (not the restart button), my changes stay (most of them, anyway; still trying to figure out why some parts work and others don't). However, if I make the changes then click the "Update Settings and Restart Game Server" button, my Game.ini file goes blank again.
