admin commands??

[deadeye 1]

how do you use admin commands on the server??

[deadeye 1]

they got my server up and running

I've done a lot of searching for the same information and all I've managed to find from an official source are the launch parameters.
 

 

ServerPVE This enables PVE Mode. Players cannot hurt other players, structures, or tamed dinos.
ServerHardcore This enables Hardcore Mode. When you die, your character is gone.
ServerCrosshair This enables use of the crosshair.
ServerForceNoHUD This disables the floating character name popups.
AltSaveDirectoryName This is if you want to save the data to an alternate directory to run multiple concurrent servers.
GlobalVoiceChat This will make voice chat global and no longer proximity based.
ProximityChat This will make text chat proximity based.
NoTributeDownloads This will disable downloading external items/characters/dinos into this ARK.
AllowThirdPersonPlayer This enables players to play in third-person foot mode (work in progress).
AlwaysNotifyPlayerLeft This will notify players when someone leaves.
DontAlwaysNotifyPlayerJoined This will prevent notification of players when someone joins.

My understanding is that these are CVARs, so you wouldn't use them as commands; you'd use them for launching the server.

Example: ShooterGameServer.exe?TheIsland?ServerPVE?ServerCrosshair?GlobalVoiceChat?AllowThirdPersonPlayer

I am not aware of there being any Admin Commands along the lines of kicking or banning players. This is a tremendous oversight if true and I would hope that ARK will be updated soon to provide us with the commands/tools that we need to actually administrate our private servers.

how do u even log into your serve as admin ?? is it even possible to actualy log into the game itself as admin on your server ??

[Manoz 1]

You can't log into your server as admin. You have to type this command in game console: 

enablecheats your_admin_password

As Rain said, these commands are cvar commands. I'm not sure if we can change the way we launch the servers. There's a checkbox in your control pannel to add some custom launch parameters but I don't know how to write them.

 

 

Also, there's some cheats you can enable.

Log in as an admin in your server (enablecheats server_password) and type the following commands:

 

cheat God: Enables god mode, you are unkillable except be careful, you can still drown. 

cheat Fly: You are able to fly. 

cheat Walk: Deactives flying and allows you to walk again

cheat Teleport: You are teleported in the way that you are facing.

any more info, been looking around in the FTP files and online on how to turn the server to a PVE without have to use the launch command?

so far i havn't been able to get it to worke  using thexample

ShooterGameServer.exe?TheIsland?ServerPVE

 

been a long time since i used FTP functions and there seems not to be very much config files for adminitrative properties.

 

Anyone else have success?

The DEVs are working of the ini and should have these options for us in upcoming patches. Not something you can do atm from what I have been told.

another stupid question from a noob at running a server but my windows wont open any of the files in the ftp . do i need a certain program to open them ?? im guessing if we will eventually have the option to make changes through the ini file in the ftp i will need to be able to open and edit it .

You'll need to download them to your computer then edit them there. Try using notepad++ its really useful and opens loads of file types and give you syntax for commonly used languages

It depends of your FTP software. I'm using FileZilla on Windows. Go to Edit -> Settings -> File editing -> Filetype associations.

Now you have to add a line for .ini files : ini "C:\Windows\notepad.exe" (or the path to your favorite software, Sublime Text in my case).

Here is an example of my settings:

 

 

Then you right click on your file -> View/Edit and it should work. When you save it, FileZilla will tell you that a file has been changed:
