DamgeFloatingTextBox

I have tried to put in the command ShowFloatingDamageText=True but this has not done anything and I still can't see the dmg. Is there another way I have to do it so I can see the damage my dinos are doing.

The easiest way to enable this setting is to go to your control panel, click on "Modify Server Config" (yellow button), scroll all the way down to the very bottom where you will see a big box called GameUserSettings.ini Custom Code and then in that box copy and paste this:

 

[serverSettings]

ShowFloatingDamageText=true

 

Then Save Configuration and restart server. You will now have it enabled.

You can add this option in your custom launch parameters as well with the line ?ShowFloatingDamageText=true

An important thing to note is that ShowFloatingDamageText=true has to be lowercase true. The case sensitivity makes a difference.

When I put these commands in like this, it's not being enabled. Do I need to put them all together in one solid line or separate them by making them their own lines?

They should be back to back. For example:
 

TheIsland?Multihome=127.0.0.1?Port=27015?QueryPort=27016?SessionName=Aw Yiss?MaxPlayers=10?listen?ServerPassword=heyitsapassword?ServerAdminPassword=heyitsanadminpassword?RCONEnabled=True?RCONPort=27017?AltSaveDirectoryName=SavedArk1337?ShowFloatingDamageText=true

I can't seem to locate where to add custom launch parameters.  This would save a LOT of headache for me.

 

 

In "Modify Game Server Settings", I can change location, map, Ark update, Ark update (automatic), MOD IDs, Server Title, Hosted By, Lock Password, Admin Password, and Restart Interval.

 

Under "Tools", I have Modify Server Config, where there is no field for advanced launch parameters and a very obvious "Advanced Launch Parameters" tool which has nowhere to input commands.  It's all check boxes.  There is no text field for entering custom launch parameters.

Custom launch params can be revealed by marking your map as 'Custom'.

Thanks, I always wondered the same.

No problem!

 

If anyone ever gets stuck, there are information panels scattered across each of the options on the panel. Clicking that small white icon will reveal more details on what everything does, super useful when you get into custom launch params!
