If bad config it will no longer throw error but fail silently and allow you in to view and change your settings. Features Added "Server" column to Tamed tab @BaconsExtreme Very Nice!

MirageUK Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share Posted July 28, 2020 Release 51 available http://www.miragesoftware.co.uk/ARK/Apps/ARKViewer51.zip Just a quick performance pass in which I have managed to improve performance of the UI once loaded. For example switching between tribes/players/creatures in the various drop downs is now a LOT faster. Doesn't feel like it's going to crash anymore when trying to show Coals in the ocean Not much I can do about performance of initial save load unfortunately - maybe something @Wolfamid can look at improving from my open sourced code? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roro4066 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Hi mirage, First off big thanks for your hardwork on this wonderfull tool we have been using on our private server for about a year. Today i wanted to check my dinos on my single player save of valguero, but my tames only appear when i click on "wild creatures". Moreover they have no names. All the other wild dinos on the map Don't appear there except a few ones freshly spawned by the game. I have tried to view my save through the single player option on valguero and through the "file selection" option where you choose the precise pass for ark viewer to scan your save. Both gave me the same result: my tames appear with no names and only in the wild creature section with almost no "true" wild creature visible in the program. If you have any idea of what's causing this, i'll buy it Ps i have no mods active and i haven't done any wipe for ages. I might try to wipe soon and see what happens. Thanks for your time and keep it up my friend ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MirageUK Posted August 1, 2020 Author Share Posted August 1, 2020 Good morning @roro4066 I have deleted my single player Valguero save and created a new one. Freshly spawned in - used Cheat DoTame on first wild (A Parasaur) and named it "Test Tame". Appears to be working fine for me? The wild spawn thing - it's a single player thing to help improve performance where things don't actually come out of hibernation and become available in the save data until you are in the approximate area. You can change this if you like - but might be a perormance hit on the game depending on your system. If you are still having issues I can always try and look at your game save if you can upload it somewhere I can access. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larkfields Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Hi Mirage. I've just noticed that Queen Bees are showing as Male in the list of creatures. {"creature":"Bee_Queen_Character_BP_C","sex":0,"lvl":5,"lat":69.074,"lon":73.4628754,"hp":0,"stam":0,"melee":0,"weight":0,"speed":0,"food":0,"oxy":0,"craft":0,"c0":34,"c1":0,"c2":42,"c3":43,"c4":20,"c5":42,"ccc":"187703 152592 -13578"} Is this a problem with the save file, or is the API misinterpreting something?

Karno Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Quote @MirageUK Hey mate, when I try to connect to my server it says it can't find the Ragnarok.Ark file, I can clearly see the file in FileZilla. Is there something else I need to put for the save path? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers I thank you for your patience and the time spent trying to figure out the issue. The problem might be on my side apparently. i will try to upload the file of my SP save with the help of a friend, as i'm pretty bad with such things…. But i can tell you we have a "similar" issue on our private sever as well, it's def not as bad though: we can see our ice wyverns on Crystal isles (uploaded from valguero) in the wild dinos section of arkviewer (again, with no name). But besides that everything is working fine on the multiplayer side. cya soon mate and have a good one ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe we default to MALE unless the gender flag shows female.. so for things without gender - such as queen bees - they are incorrectly showing as male. I can switch to use Female as default.

Rattgtg Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 @MirageUK Think i may have found a bug, i have seen tamed dinos that are not being listed as tamed, if i look under the wild creatures it will be listed in there as still wild. The Pternodon highlighted blue is tamed. I have also noticed that sometimes tamed dinos come up as unclaimed, Exp: someone breed a dino, claimed the baby and it still comes up as unclaimed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MirageUK Posted August 3, 2020 Author Share Posted August 3, 2020 (edited) @Rattgtg can I grab a copy from you? I only have 2 maps to test on at the moment and they both seem to be showing wilds/tames correctly so not much for me to debug. I'm pretty sure it'll be some weird combination I'm not checking for between the TamingTeam and the TargetingTeam properties and with a copy I'll quickly identify it. @Larkfields yes, it tends to be on unbreedables and gender neutrals that the property isn't provided. The property is actually "IsFemale" - so we assume Male if not provided. Edited August 3, 2020 by MirageUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larkfields Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Hi Mirage. Can I request a new option please for the command line version. Given that most of the processing time is taken during loading a map, is it possible to output all four json files (tamed, wild, survivors and tribes) in one run please? Maybe write the four files to the current directory, or to a specified directory. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legendofgow Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 How you create such great and accurate tool? i just find this and this is perfect and amazing do you have page where i can donate you some $ for beer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MirageUK Posted August 15, 2020 Author Share Posted August 15, 2020 (edited) @legendofgow I can't take full credit. The majority of work that went into this was actually work by others creating the toolkit library I use. https://github.com/ark-mod/ArkSavegameToolkitNet Granted I have made some tweaks to this library for my own purposes (cryopods, vivariums, some player/tame data) but my work was mainly the User Interface to visualise the data returned by the toolkit. I don't have a webpage and work as a developer so get paid by a company. As such I don't need any further donations for stuff I do outside of my day job, but thanks for offering.

Elgar Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Hi @MirageUK, I don't know if you still play ARK and are willing to add some features to your awesome tool. I have a suggestion which is, I confess, purely comfort-enhancing : On my server we like to tame and breed a lot of dinos. That's our thing, breeding. Hence we are always looking for dinos with best stats, and we make a weekly dino wipe to renew the population. With your tool, if I want to breed Basilos, I select Basilosaurus and I look for the best stats in the current population of Basilos. Easy. Let's say I'm currently breeding 3 or 4 species of dinos, I closely watch these species after each dino wipe. But ! Maybe there is an incredible Thyla right now in the server with 38 or 40 in its Melee stat and I don't know it because I'm not currently breeding Thylas and I don't watch their population. Except that if I knew there was such an "absolute unit", I would tame it at all costs. Here is my suggestion : as well as we have a nice Min/Max level selection on the wild tab, could we have a similar Min (Max not really useful) stat selection on the wild tab. That way we would see at a glance if there are "absolute units" of dinos in the current population without having to select species one by one and sort stats one by one in every species. Of course, like I said, it's a pure comfort-enhancing feature, and your tool has already every essential feature and even more. ? Another thing : On 8/3/2020 at 3:57 PM, Rattgtg said: @MirageUK Think i may have found a bug, i have seen tamed dinos that are not being listed as tamed, if i look under the wild creatures it will be listed in there as still wild. The Pternodon highlighted blue is tamed. I have also noticed that sometimes tamed dinos come up as unclaimed, Exp: someone breed a dino, claimed the baby and it still comes up as unclaimed I can confirm this issue, although it's rare. And also, much more frequently, some dinos in cryopods don't appear in the list of tamed dinos. We have to uncryo them to make them appear. Vanilla server, no mods used. Thank you.

MirageUK Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) Morning @Elgar We use it in a very similar way - using the sort options of the detail grid to determine what our next target is based on the highest melee/hp/stamina. I currently have no plans to extend and include such "wishlist" functionality as it's easy enough to look for what we want manually however I believe this sort of functionality is available in ARK Smart Breeding application - I'm not getting a lot of time recently but the next thing I'll be working on in ARK Viewer is a way to export only selected data into json files to give to server users to use without having to have access to the entire .ark, .arktribe, .arkprofile files directly.

c0mical Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Hi Mirage would it be possible for your (amazing) tool to get the ID numbers of tamed dinos? I've tried using the ark-tools and I can convert the .ark to a .json, but extracting the tames is giving me an error even though the JSON is valid. I can get at them by knowing say the name from that but I wondered if it would be simple for you to access thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gloilin Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Any chance of support for Tunguska mod map? Or is there a way for me to just add a map picture and fix the coordinate mapping? I know the mod maps are subject to change constantly so would be hard to keep them all updated, but if it's something I can do on my end that would be awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a custom one for @Norlinri and if you can provide a drawn map for Tunguska I can try and work out the co ordinate system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
