Admin / Trusted Player Tool - Game Save Visualiser

Yeah along with various other classes such as the GameObject.  Its all C# code.

What is it you're trying to do?

If you've got access to the directory with .ark and .arkprofile data ASV will load what it can find from both - then include that data in any export as json.  If it's not in these exports it probably isn't available in the base data.

The real reason is to extract IP address.

I want to make automatic whitlist at firewall level, for DDOS attacks

Sounds like a catch-22 situation...
If all IP addresses are effectively banned at the start (because they're not in the whitelist), then they're not going to be able to get though to Ark to create a character - and therefore not get whitelisted.

Also: people's IP addresses change whenever their ISP feels like changing them so you'll need to provide a means for people to contact you to ask to be whitelisted again with a new IP address.

I purposefully avoid exposing any IP address but that data is available.

The idea is not to load the whitelist always, but only when ddos arrived

I know how to do this.

I guessed it was intentional.

But at my level, I don't know how to extract IP (+ gameid and character name to easily manage later) easily.

I just need to find a dev that understand how to use this code you shared.

I understand I need a c# dev.

Or a python dev - if you just want the ip addresses 🙂

Hi Mirage, I hope you're well. If you plan to update ArkViewer in the future, would you please consider adding the RenamePlayerId command to the Players tab ?

You already added the RenamePlayer command, but one of the worst and most current issues for admins are players who forget (purposely or not) to give a name to their character, who therefore is called "Human". And we quickly have several "Human" characters on servers.

Only the RenamePlayerId command allows to discriminate between several Human characters.

Link to its description : https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Console_commands#RenamePlayerId

Thank you !

Thank you !

Drop this into the players section of commands.json:

 

        {
          "text": "RenamePlayerId",
          "params": [
            {
              "key": "PlayerID",
              "quoted": false,
              "order": 1
            }
          ],
          "inputs": [
            {
              "key": "New Name",
              "quoted": true,
              "order": 2
            }
          ]
        }

Would it be possible to improve the item search for blueprints. Could we get an option to show only blueprints?

Sometimes I'm just trying to track down where someone lost a BP...

Thanks!

@MeatShield I'll look into changing the filters to dropdown options instead of tick boxes so it'll be something like..

• Tamed creatures tab: "All", "Normal", "Stored", "Uploads"
• Item search tab: "All", "Normal", "Blueprints", "Uploads"

... not sure when that'll be though but I'll definitely investigate for the next release.
