ItemStatClamps

Hello has anyone got more info on this as the wiki is a bit vague 

 

ItemStatClamps

NOTE: The command line argument ClampItemStats need to be set to true for the clamping to be enabled on your server. See Command Line Syntax.

ItemStatClamps[<attribute>]=<value>

Arguments:

attributeinteger

0: Generic Quality 
1: Armor 
2: Max Durability 
3: Weapon Damage Percent 
4: Weapon Clip Ammo 
5: Hypothermal Insulation 
6: Weight 
7: Hyperthermal Insulation

valueintegerThe algorithm used appears to be the following:

<Initial Value Constant> + ((<ItemStatClamps[<attribute>]> * <State Modifier Scale>) * (<Randomizer Range Multiplier> * <Initial Value Constant>))

Each items have their own specific data which can be found in the Dev Kit.

For example, here are the values needed to have the same clamping as official servers for Armor and Weapon Damage Percent:

ItemStatClamps[1]=19800 ItemStatClamps[3]=19800

This would clamp Saddles to 124.0 armor (74.5 for the 'tank' creatures such as Doedicurus, Rock Elemental, etc.), Flak Armor pieces to 496.0 armor, Longneck Rifle to 298.0% damage, etc.

 

Now how this clamp will affect bps and actual items ?

for example iit says saddles will clamp at 124 armor is that for bp or an item ?

and also if anyone could explain the formula used where do you get them figures for all the atriibutes in there and multipliers ?

 

Thanks

I'm actually the one that added that information to the wiki after digging the information into the server binaries and test calculations until I found the algorithm. ?

Both crafted items and blueprints gets clamped. The clamp happens when the items are loaded whether from the world save when the server starts or from being downloaded from the cluster files via an obelisk/transmitter. For example, it is possible that your players find or craft items with higher stat that they can use until the next reboot.

In the devkit. Search for "ItemStatInfo" in a blueprint. For example, here are the values of a Longneck damage:

So with a clamp of 19800 damage we would get the following result:

100 + ((19800 * 0.001)) * (0.1 * 100) = 298.0

A 0.0 initial value constant is the equivalence of 100%.

ok thanks for taking the time to answer but let’s say you get a weapon bp with let’s say 250 dmg and you craft it with a chat that has all points in crafting skill and maybe will be able to get 350+ dmg item out of it will that cap the item to 298 too ?

Yes.

[vass]

thank you , could you post the numbers for saddles for example im not that familliar with the dev kit 

[vass]

but one thing that confuses me do all weapons have the same numbers ? if not its really no point looking up individual numbers as you are limited to restricting weapons as a whole but with differentt outcomes for different weapons

I tried using this on my server:

ClampItemStats=True

ItemStatClamps[1]=19800

ItemStatClamps[3]=19800

 

In game.ini file. Does not seem to work for me. Any ideas What could work?

Also is the formula same for durability, etc.?

Literally can't find more to read about this other then the article from you on ark wiki and this this one.

Yes, it is the same calculation for the 8 categories enumerated on the wiki.

Hi, I have tried everything you have said above. I cannot get it to clamp the items stats. Any other reason it might not be working? 

I have the line in game user settings under server settings

I have added the other two lines in the game.ini

Tried them at the start of game.ini middle and end. Same with the user settings part.

If you shutdown your server, manually edit these files and then reboot you should be good to go:

Will I need new BPs?

No, your blueprints will remains but their stats will be clamped to what you set.

I set itemclamping to false, rebooted my server and the crafted items still get clamped...do I just need to set it to true and just make a rediculous number for the itemstatclamps[]?

So, I don't think this is actually working. 

Setting 

[ServerSettings] ClampItemStats=False

 things still get clamped (asc pickaxe dmg capped to 755.3% and durability capped to 695)

Setting

 [ServerSettings]

ClampItemStats=True

 and 

[/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameMode]

ItemStatClamps[0]=999999999
ItemStatClamps[1]=999999999
ItemStatClamps[2]=999999999
ItemStatClamps[3]=999999999
ItemStatClamps[4]=999999999
ItemStatClamps[5]=999999999
ItemStatClamps[6]=999999999
ItemStatClamps[7]=999999999

same results with the pickaxe capped at 755.3 and 695

ANY IDEAS?

Add it, or add it to your launch command.

[Pumpszera]

If i just add it, ASM does not crash, but the user (person trying to login on the server) crashes.
Where can i find  launch command ?

Launch command is the command itself you usually put into a script (.bat file in windows) to boot the server.

One example I had from when I used Windows for my test servers:
 

start ShooterGameServer.exe TheIsland?QueryPort=27015?SessionName=Island?MaxPlayers=2?listen?RCONEnabled=True
?RCONPort=32330?ServerPassword=aaa?ServerAdminPassword=TEST?AllowThirdPersonPlayer=True?ShowFloatingDamageText=true
?EnablePvPGamma=true?MapPlayerLocation?ServerPVE?OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5.0 -nosteamclient -game -server -log 
-automanagedmods -allowansel -allcores -culture=en -servergamelog -UseBattlEye

You can add any option you could also add in the config files as ?[option]

Not all tho, only the ones that goes under ServerSettings.

correct?

No, it would need to be:

?ClampItemStats=True

[Pumpszera]

working now. thank u. was error on my end so 
?ClampItemStats=true (does work)
thank u for the help

[KyleGringo]

Hey everyone! Im new to all of this, so, i followed those steps to set clamp to my server for damage and armor. I did that:

 

GameUserSettings.ini

[ServerSettings]
ClampItemStats=True

Game.ini

[/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameMode]
ItemStatClamps[1]=19800
ItemStatClamps[3]=19800

So now, how can i see if its working right? Because i log into the game as a ADM and spawned the item to test the clamp, but i dont know if its gonna work. I need to play as a player and drop from the game and se if it working or what? Thank you!
