Norlinri Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) 16 minutes ago, MirageUK said: It already has zoom functionality using the buttons or sliders below the map? But the base maps I have are unfortunately poor quality - 1024x1024. Ah yeah perfect, don't mind me then, sorry about that. Now it's much better And that's alright, the resolution is fine for what I need I didn't see your edit, and I see what you mean and that makes sense. But All Players and All Structures are always available, so would it be possible for those two to stay if they were selected, or wouldn't that work at all?

MirageUK Posted January 12, 2020 Author Share Posted January 12, 2020 I see what you mean - I will change this in the next release. The reason why I had it this way (defaulting to NONE instead of ALL) was due to the way I previously had the map drawing causing a performance hit loading EVERYTHING for all 3 tabs multiple times. I have since re-worked that so that only the selected tab populates the map data so no reason to default to NONE anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MirageUK Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 New update available following testing - and bug finding - by @Norlinri Based on her feedback the Structures tab will now display tribes/players it can identify from structures instead of the reverse. This allows you to still select/view structures that might remain AFTER a player and/or tribe has left / uploaded from your server. Also fixed a couple of bugs which would crash the app. Download the latest build from: http://www.miragesoftware.co.uk/ARK/apps/ARKViewer_Preview2.zip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norlinri Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I highly recommend this tool, it's a must-have for server owners. ARK Viewer has made it so much easier for my moderators and I to monitor our servers and keep a clean map. @MirageUK is an awesome dev who responds quickly to bug reports and suggestions, and releases fixes and new versions regularly. Keep up the good work! ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larkfields Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Sorry to be bearer of bad news Mirage. ArkViewer crashes on my PC ? Windows 10. Version 1903. Do you need any other specific information from my PC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjfro2 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 @MirageUK Unfortunately this build is crashing on my PC as well. It pops up for a second and then goes away. If your looking for anyone to help test bugs or anything my discord is MFR0#6389 This tool is seriously next level and I would be happy to help in anyway I could.

MirageUK Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share Posted January 30, 2020 Sorry guys - bad update. You can use the previous release for now until I get chance to investigate after work and get a new version uploaded, Previous build is still available from http://www.miragesoftware.co.uk/ARK/Apps/ARKViewer_Preview1.zip Sorry for any inconvenience.

MirageUK Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share Posted January 30, 2020 I have re-uploaded and included some debug symbols and a generic error handler since I was unable to reproduce the issue on my own machine. http://www.miragesoftware.co.uk/ARK/Apps/ARKViewer_Preview2.zip Can one of you please give it a go and let me know the error details that it reports (if any)? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjfro2 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 @MirageUK Sure. This is what I get when I open it. Once I dismiss the error it closes. Appreciate your efforts! This tool has huge potential Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjfro2 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 @MirageUK I'm not sure what the error means but if it helps, I have no D:\ drive afaik. Also, I am running the Windows 10 store version, not steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MirageUK Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share Posted January 30, 2020 Thanks @mjfro2 - that does help. The D drive is where I code and compile it on my on my own machine and is irrelevant - the import part is the "at ARKViewer.frmViewer.LoadData - Line #" That at least gives me something specific to look at when I finish work this evening. Furhter update to follow once I fix it. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjfro2 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) @MirageUK Ahh gotcha, makes sense. Glad I could help! Let me know if you need help testing anything else ? Edited January 30, 2020 by mjfro2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MirageUK Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share Posted January 30, 2020 I was able to reproduce by deleting my config.json file and reloading a fresh copy. The error is caused by my lack of checks and assumptions that you have already selected a game save and that the save was loaded successfully. Obviously a fresh install will ALWAYS be in this state so I have now added further checks to ensure that the game save is loaded before attempting to access any structure information. New build now available to download @ http://www.miragesoftware.co.uk/ARK/apps/ARKViewer_Preview3.zip Windows 10 edition should be an interesting test actually - I only have the steam version and so have coded the "Single Player" dropdown selection based off the steam libraries you have configured (checking registry). Windows 10 - I assume will still work if you know the save file location using the "Offline" option and browse the save file. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MirageUK Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 Just a quick update to let you know I'm working on splitting the wild and tamed lists so that you can select tamed by tribe/player as per another good suggestion by @Norlinri I have already split out the wild creatures and have that working. I just need to finish coding up the tamed tab tonight with a new release for you all to test tomorrow. Thanks again for your support. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjfro2 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Newest update is working great! Looking forward to checking out the next one! I have a couple things for your consideration see below: Possible useful commands on 'Players' tab: - 'SetPlayerPos' to so you can teleport to offline players bodies (if possible) - 'TribeStructureAudit' & 'TribeDinoAudit' Requests: - Can vaults or other containers be shown on the map in the 'structures' tab? - Could you add rock drakes to the creature tab? I don't see them on my end (we spawn them on ragnarok) Thanks again for everything @MirageUK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MirageUK Posted February 1, 2020 Author Share Posted February 1, 2020 Rock drakes should already be displayed if any exist? I certainly have no restriction on them and have them displayed in both wild and tamed lists on my Aberration server. I will look at spawning some into a Ragnarok test map to see if they are ignored somehow. Vaults/Storage Boxes should be included and is a bug that they aren't - I will update in the next release this evening. I do include them on the player tab if you click on Player Inventory button - you can see all storage for the selected player/tribe. Additional commands - I can certainly add more appropriate commands so open to suggestions from you guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MirageUK Posted February 1, 2020 Author Share Posted February 1, 2020 Quick test spawning in a couple on Ragnarok and the viewer does seem to pick the drakes up no problem. Either I've accidentally fixed it in this dev version or you don't currently have any on your server map - maybe cryo'd? Just working on the vault bug now and will upload the latest build.

MirageUK Posted February 1, 2020 Author Share Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) Preview 4 now uploaded: http://www.miragesoftware.co.uk/ARK/apps/ARKViewer_Preview4.zip Bug Fixes: "Selected" marker remained from previous tab when changing to a new tab. Structure list was missing storage based structures: Storage Cupboards, Vaults, Smithy, Chemistry Bench etc. Structure exclusion list was missing storage based structures: Storage Cupboards, Vaults, Smithy, Chemistry Bench etc. Performance issue making multiple un-needed calls to re-populate the Tribe/Player/Dino and Structure lists and re-drawing the map. Changes: Seperated Wild and Tamed creatures into their own tabs. Allowing the tamed tab to provide tribe/player selection. Added "Counts" to each tab list and moved the TOTAL wild label and made the size consistent with other count/total labels. Added new "Player Options" tab in Settings page. Allowing you to hide any tribes/players from selection with no: Placed Structure(s), Tamed Creature(s), Body Location (Dead/Uploaded) Added 3 new copy commands to the Player tab allowing for: SetPlayerPos, TribeStructureAudit and TribeDinoAudit Added map markers for the cave entrances on Ragnarok. Work in progress: Improving the accuracy of markers on the drawn map to better match the lat/lon - they're a little off atm but was good enough for what I needed. Removing the player dino view as it is now easy to do in the Tamed Creature tab by filtering to player. Completing the Dino Ancestory views. Completing some settings features that are currently disabled. Completing the server ftp export/import so users can be given a copy that only allows their own tribe/player views. Working on the underlying toolkit to see if I can get cryo pod tame data. Seperate out the "items" from the "structures" in the item map and allow users to add/edit both. Continue adding as many item/structure map names as I can. Edited February 1, 2020 by MirageUK Link updated, thanks @Elgar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elgar Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) I just discovered this tool and I'm absolutely amazed and excited ! THANK YOU SO MUCH ! I am a fan of Larkator and I use it every day, but unfortunately the author doesn't support it anymore. We don't even have Valguero as a map (while Larkator is compatible with Valguero ark file, the map displayed is The Island). But above all, your amazing program has much more features ! Congrats ! I am the admin of a little password protected private server (PVE) and once a day, when I stop the server to make a backup and to update it, I share the ark save file on OneDrive with my friends. That way we can look in Larkator where are interesting potential tames, and what are the exact stats of the ones we tamed. I trust my friends and I want them to enjoy the game, that's why I have no problem giving them the Ark save. Therefore I'm very excited to learn more about this ftp export / import feature you are working on : will there be a way to give my friends a "real-time" access to the save file, while not compromising security by giving them full FTP access ? Anyway, keep up your great work ! EDIT : I have a 404 server error when I try to download your Preview 4. EDIT 2 : the 404 error is because of a typo in your link, a missing "r" (Viewe instead of Viewer). Edited February 5, 2020 by Elgar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elgar Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Hi again, I looked at your Preview 4. I loaded my Valguero save file, everything is fine but I noticed that the map is not the same as in-game and is much less detailed. Could you use the same map as in-game please ? I attached to this post the file, if it can help. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MirageUK Posted February 1, 2020 Author Share Posted February 1, 2020 @Elgar I sure can - the Valguero map was provided as part of the toolkit I use. I'm not very graphical myself so just used what I had. I will include your map in the next update - not sure when that will be at the moment though.
