So, I'm a bit new to how whitelisting works--I understand there is a file in the FTP to edit to enter Steam ID's into--but, I have a friend who I'm working with the server on--after he had the password, he could get in--is there a way that whitelisting needs to be 'enabled' in a setting somewhere?

Hey there, i searched it up everywhere but i can't find a answer to my problem. I rented a server at SurvivalServers for Ark: Survival Evolved and everything is working great, except a few things that hold me from playing. Note that everything i mention is what i searched up on google, tough punctually. This is the first server i rented and i have experience with it. I did have a Xbox One server for Ark so i have a good picture about the server configs. First of all, I seem to have a problem with whitelisting. Things that i tried: - I have to add my Steam64 id to a text file with directory "ShooterGame/Binaries/Win64/PlayersJoinNoCheckList.txt" but there was no file like that so made one with only my steam64 id in it. Icould not get in. - While whitelisting was off i got online and you the admincodes to whitelist myself and after toggle whitelisting on but it didnt work. If someone knows what i am doing wrong please tell me. I dont know excactly what to do when it comes to adding mods, but know i have to put de steamID after ActiveMods= in the gamesettings text file but there was such line as ActiveMods=. I noticed that there was an option to insert on the control panel do i did that. Now it becomes tricky for me, i have to actually put the mods in the right server folder. I don't know how to retrieve the files and i dont know what folder. On the last server that i played they had the floating damage indicators turned on, the same as you see when you hit a training dummy. How do i turn this on? Is it a mod instead? I tried adding ShowFloatingDamageText=True to gamesettings but that also didnt work. Since alot of walktroughs say that need to go to a folder that doesnt show up when i search for it it might work another way on SurvivalServers but i don't know. Waiting for a reaction.

Hey guys, been messing around with my server settings for a while and stumbled upon this thread that says you can whitelist an admin, allowing you to use commands without needing to login each time, by creating a file in the directory \ShooterGame\Saved called AllowedCheaterSteamIDs.txt, in which you put the Steam64 ID's that you want to authorize. Now I've tried doing that, listing only my Steam64 ID to begin with for testing, but to no avail. I tried moving the .txt file to \ShooterGame\ but that didn't work, also tried \ShooterGame\Saved\Config\, that didn't work either, also tried moving to /ShooterGame/Saved/Config/WindowsServer and that didn't work either. Any idea how to get this to work, or what I'm doing wrong? Edit: Solved it, ended up putting a copy of AllowedCheaterSteamIDs.txt in \ShooterGame\Saved\, \ShooterGame\Saved\config\ and one in \ShooterGame\Saved\config\WindowsServer\ just in case, and now it works

Will survival servers allow "whitelisting" when the private servers are up
