Wildcard Staff evilmrfrank Posted February 14, 2016 Wildcard Staff Share Posted February 14, 2016 Here is a custom map I've been working on for Ark that I'll be entering into the contest. Once the map is finished it will consist of the current chinese mountain/jungle biomes, ruin areas, lava/mordor biome, massive tropical islands, as well as the soon to come snow biome, grasslands, swamp biome, and the secret "Center" area that will be coming in a couple of weeks. The plan is to release a new update once every Thursday. These updates starting off will be an entirely new biome until all of the biomes are finished. Once the biomes are finished I will go back to existing areas and refine them considerably, add caves, and fill out the oceans. Hoping to have the map mostly finished by the contest deadline although I do plan to continue to work on the map after the contest is over! You can download the map and fine screenshots for the level at the workshop page located here - http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=614734500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcard Staff evilmrfrank Posted February 19, 2016 Author Wildcard Staff Share Posted February 19, 2016 Map was updated with the snow and grasslands biomes! This update also added in the obelisks and obsidian as well as a handful of other fixes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheForestHermit Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I am utterly in love with this map. Each time you update it, it gets better. The sea scorpions farce was a little alarming but didn't detract at all honestly. I'm utterly enchanted by undersea living and honestly if you ever decided to tinker further with the map wanting to add more 'livable space' for bases to be built, more underwater domes would be fantastic. Ever server I visit they are the most prized corners! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcard Staff evilmrfrank Posted April 12, 2016 Author Wildcard Staff Share Posted April 12, 2016 Glad you like it The two new water dinos will be added back into the next update along with some major fixes for losing dinos (Thanks to Drake) and several other issues and balancing changes I do hope to expand on the underwater areas at some point for sure! Right now I'm going to be focusing on polishing and making the map as stable as possible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to download the mod with only steamcmd, then you know what i mean Steam cmd is downloading the mod with the command steamcmd.exe +login username password +force_install_dir "C:\ark" +workshop_download_item <gameID> <modID> +quit But this only download it to \steamapps\workshop\content\346110\ it does not uncompress and move it to the Mods folder of the server. The downloaded content is compressed with zlib. Do you have the possibility to upload your mod builds uncompressed? Or is this compression automatically done by the devkit?

Devestatio Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 @evilmrfrank Is there a land based way out of the center of the world? All I have found are the holes you fall in from and can fly back out through, I even went all the way up the ramped cave to the top most point, but that is a dead end, and again can only be flown out of... I am currently stuck in there with the Dinos I have tamed, and have resorted to building in the top most cave spot, as I do not want to leave my dinos behind.

davidturner Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 We've recently set this map up on our second server, and we're of two minds of it so far, for two reasons: Weird teleporting issues (fixed last night I believe) have been incredibly frustrating. We have a lot of really weird clipping issues all over the place. I think that some of this might have been fixed, but there's nothing more terrifying than walking along invisible cliff ledges because you're underneath the texture for the rock you're standing on. Hopefully these will be fixed at some point, as the map seems quite enjoyable to play on other than these issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcard Staff evilmrfrank Posted April 16, 2016 Author Wildcard Staff Share Posted April 16, 2016 Devestatio - There is currently no land path into the center of the earth. Some things in the map are limited in these ways to separate them from the rest of the map, same with the actual center area being air only. Davidturner - Both of these issues should have been fixed in the most recent updates to the map If there are any other issues definitely let me know and I'll get on them right away!

The teleporting issue definitely seems to be fixed, and the clipping issues are vastly improved, but not entirely resolved. I've noticed a few instances of it remaining on the northern tropical island, and a few other people have mentioned a few small issues elsewhere. I'll try and collect screenshots of them for you when I'm on the server today, along with any other details that might be useful for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
