Queen B 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2016 Wondering the status of us being able to override difficulty? Current Version: v247.95 * Servers can now override their difficulty above 4.0, using "?OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5.0" or whatever number they want. Be careful not to go too high!

Kjetl 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2016 Hey, I would like to request a couple of additions to the control panel. 1) the ability to schedule the time for the server restart (e.g. 5:00 a.m. rather than an every 12 hours or something) 2) The ability to save server configuration stuff without restarting (e.g. change motd time for the next restart, etc.) 3) a way to force a backup from the webpage Thanks, Kj Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurliothan 1 Report post Posted October 16, 2016 We are working on a clustered option for custom launch params but there is no ETA at this time. Would really appreciate this being added as my server is styled after officials (no mods). Really rubbing my players the wrong way that we have less difficulty.

merlin777 4 Report post Posted October 19, 2016 Ark Features in Panel? Would be nice feature for all the games, to have maybe a separate popup window that shows in game real time errors, chats between players, and ability to kick and message without logging in.

mndfreeze 10 Report post Posted October 22, 2016 I have another suggestion after running into issues starting my cluster with the latest patch. Can we look into getting the webpage to output something showing the progress of the steamcmd and other processes in the background? Took about an hour for my server to start and I'm positive it was due to restarting it right when the patch released, and it being 2.5GB, but currently we have no way to tell if its running, what % is complete, or if it hung halfway through and we are just sitting at the restart popup window waiting for no reason. Even if its not possible for us to get live updating of the % complete of a patch and update, even just outputting some of the logs in real time to the screen would be nice.

What this means in my case is that I have to produce the game.ini file from sspanel for the things that sspanel produces and then ftp, edit in my engram overrides and restart again. Instead of having an automatic restart attached to outputting the file, can there be an 'advanced' option to output it into a text window or an alternate file name? edit: I can now run implicit engram overrides again, but only with the "name" version (e.g. OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_Grenade_C",EngramHidden=True) as opposed to the index version). I don't recall which the sspanel uses and have not retested it. I have extra overrides so must do the hybrid thing in any case.

mndfreeze 10 Report post Posted October 29, 2016 It would most definitely be nice to be able to make changes and save them without actually restarting the server right then and there. A simple Save and NOT restart button would be great. I'd love to see that overridedifficulty for clusters appear too.....

Argon 1 Report post Posted October 31, 2016 We are working on a clustered option for custom launch params but there is no ETA at this time. Any word on this? Without this option, in addition to being stuck at 4.0 difficulty on a clustered server, we also can't enable the setting to allow anyone to care for baby dinos except the person who claimed / initially imprinted upon them. It's hard to find a balance that still requires a time commitment and keeps it challenging without also demanding the person give up their normal sleep schedule and dedicate their lives to the game for 1-3 days. The aforementioned feature would easily resolve this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Pennington 359 Report post Posted October 31, 2016 Unfortunately it's not an easily overhaul but progress is there. Prior to getting the clustered option for custom launch params / customized config, we need to finish our Modify Server Config tool to get updated with all of the latest patches (still a few patches outdated) which is the biggest amount of work prior to getting that done. I'd rather do it right and not rushed than rush out a buggy, unorganized feature that leads to more issues. We have a relatively stable backend right now (with lots of complex code getting everything situated perfectly) and adding new features has to be done very carefully.

I just wish the Wildcard Studio communicated the way you do regarding design/programming issues. Not being in the dark is alleviating if nothing else.

Koldbones 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2016 Would be great if the time under server details showed up in the time zone of where the server is located. Example would be if its out of Dallas Tx the server time showing would be Central not PST. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgirl 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2016 A really really BIG REQUEST is to have a space somewhere in the config panel where you could add custom code that needs to be added to the ini's. For example some mods have little bits of customization code that you can add to the gameusersettings.ini to customize some of the parameters for the mods. If there could be a field at the bottom of the server config panel where you can put these to have them added to the bottom of the ini when the config panel generates it that would be awesome and time saving!

supermuffin28 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2016 Can we get a check box for 'show floating damage text' in the 'modify server config' menu? Being that any other modifications to the server config overwrite the manual entry, it's quite obnoxious to have to edit config, start/restart server, stop server, manually edit ini file, start server again. This is unless of course I'm missing something or making things difficult for myself, which sadly is true more often than not.
