I don't know if you would label me as an advanced user but I still do all of my modifications via the ini files. If you need any assistance with this, let me know. Pardon any spelling or grammatical errors. I may or may not have been drinking at the time of this post lol.

Hey there Mulrak, There are are a few different tools that you will want to familiarize yourself with and a lot of it will be trial and error until you get the hang of things. 1. ARKon is a remote desktop client that allows you to do certain things in the server while not needing to be in game. From arkon you can kick, ban and whitelist players. You can send broadcasts to the server or individual players and you can run certain scripted commands. http://rusty.sadface.co.uk/download/ARKon/ARKon.zip 2. scripted admin commands are something that you should get familiar with as most of your admin commands are done this way either in game or via ARKon. Here is a list that seems to stay pretty up to date http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=454529617&insideModal=1 3. FTP client. You will use your FTP client to upload files to your server or download them from your server. There are a lot of FTP clients out there. I personally prefer Filezilla. https://filezilla-project.org/download.php 4. Survival Servers control panel. There are quite a few options here so I can't really go over them all but you will use the control panel for quite a few things. From here you can start, stop, launch, rename or move your server to name a few. If you want to modify settings on your server you can click modify server config or you can directly modify the ini files via your ftp client. You can also click on sub users on the left side and set up sub user accounts that will have access to either limited or full versions of your control panel (you choose). This is helpful to allow other admins to restart etc without giving out all of your passwords and without them having full access to your survival servers account. Another helpful thing is to set up an automatic restart interval and set "ark Update" to enable. When your server restarts, it will automatically check for any updates and download them to your server. Anyways, good luck with your server and post a topic if you have any questions.

Just wanted to give an update to this. Not sure why I haven't tested this before but there is a workaround until Ryan is able to fully implement this feature. On your main control panel make sure you have "Ark Update (Automatic)" set to "Enable". If your sub-user needs to update the server, he/she can simply log on to their sub-user control panel with limited access and click the "restart" button. This triggers the server to restart and check for updates. If any updates are available, it will apply them during the restart. Just tested this out and it works like a charm. Hope this helps everyone out.

Just re-read your post and saw that you are having problems with any of the blueprint commands? The only thing I can think of is that maybe you are pasting it with a space before it? I pasted your line and my line in difference checker online and they are identical....not sure what the issue could be.

These are copied and pasted from my notepad that I use all the time and they work. Look the same but give them a try? Eradicator ammo cheat giveitem "Blueprint'/Game/Mods/EV2/PrimalItemAmmo_EV2rocket.PrimalItemAmmo_EV2rocket'" 50 1 false Eradicator rifle cheat giveitem "Blueprint'/Game/Mods/EV2/PrimalItem_EV2Rifle.PrimalItem_EV2Rifle'" 1 1 false And here is the Eradicator pick in case you need that as well cheat giveitem "Blueprint'/Game/Mods/Eradicator/PrimalItem_WeaponEradicator.PrimalItem_WeaponEradicator'" 1 1 false

Sigsense, They added this feature the other day. Look on the left side of your control panel and you will see one called "sub users". Click it and you can set up "sub admins" with either full access to the control panel or limited access to the control panel. Currently limited access only has the start, stop, restart and launch buttons but they are adding in the ability to run the ARK updates very soon.

Hey Ryan, Just wanted to give a huge thanks for adding in the sub users. It really is a very nice addition to the overall functionality of survival servers. Once the ability for limited users to run updates is added in (as mentioned above), it should be perfect. Again, thanks for listening to our needs.

Look in your control panel for a section that says "ark update". To the right of that it should say "only when needed". Click the down arrow in that box and select "Yes, run the update". Now scroll to the bottom and click the green button that says "update settings and restart game server". Done

Scott, I don't want your money. What are you needing help with exactly?

In you control panel, you can check to enable automatic restarts. It will then give you a pull down menu to select how often your server restarts.

ARKon working fine here on my windows 8.1 box. You might want to completely remove it, download a fresh copy and do a fresh install.

Sorry to be a bother but, is there any update on this?

I'm really not trying to sound offensive here. With as many people who aren't having the issues that you are having with ARKon, I would say that the issue is most likely on your end. What errors are you getting? I understand that you're saying you put in the right info but try these steps maybe? 1. Open ARKon and click on the settings tab 2. Input your RCON info from your survival servers control panel into the server settings area of ARKon 3. Hit the save button just below these details (lower left. not lower right) 4. Click on the name of the profile you just saved. It will be listed on the right side under "server configs" 5. Click the load button under that. 6. Click connect. 7. If that works, you will only have to open arkon and click connect after that. If that doesn't work, try changing your RCON password in the control panel a few times and repeat steps 1-7

Well, Survival Servers recently added a section to the control panel that allows you to very easily add mods. I am only running the eradicator admin tool right now but I used the control panel and it was very easy to do and worked perfect the first time.
