Admin / Trusted Player Tool - Game Save Visualiser

[MirageUK]

Yeah we're all well thank you. 

Just been quite an adjustment to working from home which left me somewhat un-motivated to sit at the same computer doing my own stuff (including this) on an evening after a day of work for the day job.

I'm increasingly aware of the imminent release of Genesis 2 so thought I'd best get back into it in preperation.

Apologies for leaving you guys so long without looking into and fixing things for you.

[MirageUK]

Fjördur appears to have a scale of 7140 and the standard lat/lon shifts of 50.

I will get a grid overlay added and do some testing but should be able to add support for that in the next release.

[MirageUK]

New version available for download:

http://www.miragesoftware.co.uk/ARK/Apps/ArkViewer2021.zip

@pleinx - Added support for SteamId on player export.

@Sirendire - Fixed selection of death cache items and added inventory button which will be enabled if the cache contains items.

@Shodan - Added support for Fjordur map.

@Foppa  / @Koltran - Same issue.  Now ignores dropped items it doesn't recognise instead of crashing.

@c0mical - Fixed.  Issue was that I populate the list in 2 ways and I forgot to include the additional fields for "solo" players.

@Wolfamid - The source code is all available on GitHub.  If you have any knowledge of C# please feel free to suggest any improvements I can make to the performance.

Everybody else - I'll need a sample save file to replicate and fix the "tames as wild" issue as I don't encounter that on our own saves.

It's great to have you back Mirage.

I've PM'd you with a link to a save file with tame dinos that are showing as wild.

I can probably find more examples if you need them.

[MirageUK]

@Wolfamid now that @Larkfields has provided me with a file that takes an age to load I can see that my code to load cryopods is a bottleneck.  I will look at ways I can improve this in a future release.

 

[MirageUK]

New release available:

http://www.miragesoftware.co.uk/ARK/Apps/ArkViewer2021-2.zip

@Larkfields kindly provided me with a sample save of Ragnarok and I was able to fix the "tames as wilds" and improve load speed when the save game has lots of cryopod creatures.

For example, using the previous release of viewer and the provided game save on my machine it took over 22 minutes to load.  With the new changes made to how I load cryopod data it takes just under 4.5 minutes for the same save, on the same machine.

[MirageUK]

And again...

http://www.miragesoftware.co.uk/ARK/Apps/ArkViewer2021-3.zip

 

• Fixed issues with cryopod loads using multi-threading for performance pass.  Changed to use a "thread-safe" list to prevent exception.
• Fixed issue where standard FTP server connections would not first call Connect() before attempting to download the save game.
• Fixed right click player export.  It had incorrect header for SteamId and was not outputting the steam id number as it attempted to convert to int and failed due to the number being too high.

Can you upload the save for me to check out please @Rattgtg?  Looks like it maybe duplicating something somewhere as that line is attempting to map out the status component data for tamed creatures.

Also - is that with the latest version? I was having some issues where I would experience duplicates/empty objects before I updated the list to be thread safe.

[Rattgtg]

@MirageUK DM'd link to save files

[MirageUK]

@Rattgtg looks like I've got some race conditions going onl as it's attempting to sequentially read the file.. but then doing so over multiple threads/processes to speed it up.  I'm going to need some time to work out how best to handle it, I kinda adapted some code from the underlying framework without fully understanding it.

Leave it with me tonight, will hopefully get something to fix it all tomorrow.

[MirageUK]

Scrap my last comment. Found the issue. It doesn't affect my map as I only have at most 1 vivarium, but I'm accidentally incrementing a counter I'm then using as a base for other objects for each vivarium - causing duplicate object id's.

I will do a build first thing in the morning to fix it - been a long day coding and packing up to move house and time for me to relax

[Rattgtg]

Relax and enjoy what time you can without work

 

[MirageUK]

Morning guys

• @Rattgtg Fixed exception of "Duplicate Keys" when loading save data with more than 1 Vivarium on the map.

Hi Mirage..  Great to see you again  !!

I would like to notify a bug that I have been observing lately to see if it has a solution,
It's about the last connection of a tribe.
There are players who only enter a map to reset the decay and inmediatly goes offline to other map.
When this happens, the last tribe connection is not updated and the previous "connection time" continues.

I don't know if you understand what I mean..

 

[Larkfields]

Hi Mirage.

I've just noticed that ArkViewer2021-4 is producing duplicate entries for some tames on my Extinction map.
This is one example, but there are others.  Not every dino is duplicated.  

Let me know if you'd like a copy of the map.

@Neazan I'll have to check the code to see what is used to work out last activity for the tribe and get back to you.

@Larkfields Yes please, if you can provide it in DM I'll investigate later today.

I will check this at the weekend, thanks!

 

 

Btw. thanks for your great & fast support and that you still motivated to continue work on this tool, its great! If the performance will be increased its just a nice2have.

[pleinx]

@MirageUK i test it now and it seems not being working for the command-line export 😕 I see the steamID while im exporting via GUI but not via cmd:

  },

My CMD

.\ARKSaveViewer.exe players "C:\temp\players_output.json" "C:\temp\Ragnarok\Ragnarok.ark"

 

I tried with "ArkViewer2021-4"

Apologies, GUI exports everything in the grid... command line doesn't use same grid. I'll get it updated this weekend.

Thanks! Yeah, i thought so. But keep this format Means make all that data exportable via cmd. Thats cool!

 

You can btw. add the steamID to every tab / export.

Feature-Request for export via CMD

Current Commands:

.\ARKSaveViewer.exe players "C:\temp\players.json" "C:\temp\Viking_P\Viking_P.ark"
.\ARKSaveViewer.exe tamed "C:\temp\tamed.json" "C:\temp\Viking_P\Viking_P.ark"
.\ARKSaveViewer.exe structures "C:\temp\tribes.json" "C:\Viking_P\Viking_P.ark"
.\ARKSaveViewer.exe tribes "C:\temp\tribes.json" "C:\temp\Viking_P\Viking_P.ark"

Can we combine this export rules to one to save execution time? For bigger savegames (about 350MB) it takes up to 20minutes on NVMe. Is possible that you add this?

.\ARKSaveViewer.exe players,tamed,structures,tribes "C:\temp\*.json" "C:\temp\Viking_P\Viking_P.ark"

Which create JSON-Files like exportKey (players|tamed|structures|tribes)

C:\temp\players.json
C:\temp\tamed.json
C:\temp\structures.json
C:\temp\tribes.json

This should save a lot of time, because only one parsing time for savegame itself and the exports going really quick. That would be very cool! 🙂

 

EDIT:

If its easier / faster for you to implement this feature, make a "export all" function. I really dont need wild.json but wouldn't be a drama because, like already said, the export time itself is really quick, just the parsing takes long time.

Quote

.\ARKSaveViewer.exe all "C:\temp\*.json" "C:\temp\Viking_P\Viking_P.ark"
