Recommended Posts

I'm running out of ideas here ive followed all the tutorials added them in using an FTP editor and the control panel and i just cant get the in game map to work. Has anybody else had any luck? support seems powerless to help me theyve uploaded it themselves several times and the world works just not the in game map.its been going on 3 days now and it kinda sucks because i cant explore or find treasure maps im literally stuck on my starter island cause i cant find treasure to hire crew. Has anybody got a 2x2 working? ive seen a few people say they got a 1 square working but thats it. im going on 3 days without being able to play and im about to just give up.

Why don't you just upgrade to a 4x4 - Even if you don't have that many servers -- it would still work 

I have a working 4x4 with everything you need (though it would MEAN YOU HAVE TO WIPE YOUR SERVER) <-- just making sure that is perfectly clear.

 

With a 4 x 4 -- you can place your servers anywhere on the map - By Default they will be at A1,B1,A2 and B2 - however I moved mine around they are in odd locations (still all touching of course for travel purposes)

 

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hfktMKGroPUP-yk4Zh4qvVCiPXZWgNSW/view?usp=sharing <-- ServerGrid.Json File

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xcuzRVRkyy68Sc2HjvnWmu66l2YK7HSm/view?usp=sharing  <-- ServerGrid.zip 

 

 

Goto the Survival Servers Control panel - and upload the ServerGrid.Json file do the same with the ServerGrid.Zip 

No FTP needed - the file upload option is at the bottom of the page.

i figured it out for anybody who is having trouble i stole this from atlas forums and it worked immediately

 

"

I removed the URLs from the  ServerGrid.json using Notepad++ , you can just use notpad ..

 "MapImageURL": "http://arkdedicated.com/atlaspreview.jpg",

 "MetaWorldURL": "http://atlasdedicated.com/xkvLAefEmYagICAfkDqknUIceSobwBma/ServerGrid",

so they look like

 "MapImageURL": "",

 "MetaWorldURL": "",

Works fine for me ...
For some reason, the latest version map editor when removing those URLs in the server edit, didnt actually remove them from the  ServerGrid.json
Doing this will force it to use the cached version of the image which is accurate, but if you wipe the server, it will show in server info screen as explored until you login so it will update"

 

no idea why this worked but it did immediately

On a 2x2 ServerGrid, when I upload the new ServerGrid.json with the maps to the main server, do I update the ServerGrid.Json in all the servers. I understand that I need to update the maps on all servers.

SO...

Is there anything special needed to run a server bigger than a 1x1?

Do I need to get a server for every grid?

Can all the Grids have the same IP and port?

 

I loaded a 2x2 and was only able to play in 0,0 and all the other directions were red.

 

Thanks,
