[Tool] Dedicated Server Tool

[HellsGuard]

Great tool, few issues i've picked up on, not sure if this is a server issue or a tool issue.

When selecting certain functions, they don't seem to update.

Both PvE server and Enable Crosshair are both set to enabled, it doesn't appear to have this setup ingame.

Make sure the server is stopped when changing config settings, they don't update live in-game while it's running unless you change them in-game with commands. That's part of the game sadly.

Crosshairs are for bows & guns, they don't just show up so if they still aren't working with bows or guns, then that's very odd.

Yep Crosshairs, I realized afterwards that I needed to be aiming with a ranged weapon.

I'm not sure but I may not have saved config on the launcher when i added the additional configs, they're working now though.

Glad it got all sorted out, if you need anything else then don't hesitate to return!

It would be great if we can set the directory that steamCMD is installed. I already had it installed so that could save a step.

Great tool, but I am having a problem with hosting the server. First off it doesn't show up for me, secondly it doesn't show for any of my friends.. I did all the steps correctly, but nothing is working :/

Question on the file pathing...

I use an SSD and a disk drive. I moved ARK to my SSD, steam and all my other games on the disk. With this prog, the file structure doesn't seem to sit well with the Steam installation. Am I right in seeing that this tool, based on file structure, requires a second copy of the ARK game files? Or is it possible to adjust the pathing to use the existing installation?

move your steamcmd into the folder with the server tool exe

In the current version, that is basically what you need to do, in the next version which I am planning to release shortly, you will be able to set your own installation directory for the server.


Edit to prevent double post
Version 2.0.0.10 Update posted, I REALLY need feedback/bug reports on this one, it is sort of rushed but it should be a fairly strong update.

Great tool , It just needs the multi server enabled and maybe add a .batch file so as people can check both game start command lines to config file, also the Server showing up in the game list would be good but overall A Great Server Tool

Update problem: Which size of file do I have to update when clicking Update Server? I have wait for 3 hours and it is still downloading...
