AndrokSurvivor Posted February 11, 2020 Author Share Posted February 11, 2020 Upload your stuff to the obelisk, go to a different server wait ~2 mins and your stuff should be there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xxtreme82 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Can u transfer your character between maps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrokSurvivor Posted February 11, 2020 Author Share Posted February 11, 2020 Your character should be synchronised, otherwise check properties. For example if you make a character on the island, you'll spawn as that same character on your other maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrokSurvivor Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 Character synchronisation can be a bit messy however since the map file also stores character information, for example if you complete a boss fight you will need to respawn (kill yourself) on the other maps for your implant to be updated, however if you don't respawn in time then the synchronised character file will be overwritten by the data stored by the map you're on. XP can also be overwritten sometimes... It can be pretty annoying, hence you may prefer turning character synchronisation off in the syncark properties file and instead occasionally copying the files over after boss fights etc. A workaround would be to kill yourself every time before hopping to a different server so that you're always using your synchronised character file rather than the preexisting one on the map. It's an annoying problem that can't be fixed since character data can no longer be uploaded like it used to, really wish wildcard would bring this feature back... but it's better than not being able to transfer your character at all! ?

Also thanks a ton your program is much better than my xcopy solution. Really looking forward to the new update! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xxtreme82 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 I had mine syncing great without having to delete dropbox data until i restarted my PCs. I had to change permissions on appdata to get it to run but after i cleared everything and restarted the PCs to start a new game it wont run properly again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to change permissions on appdata to get it to run but after i cleared everything and restarted the PCs to start a new game it wont run properly again If you're starting a new server... 1. Make sure SyncArk is not running on any of your PCs 2. In the game menus, clear the player dedicated data on all your servers 3. Run a player dedicated session on each map that you want to synchronise, do this on all of your PCs (this creates the required folder structures) 4. Delete the SyncArk folder on dropbox 5. Run the program on one PC to "upload" your server, wait until dropbox has synced with your new files 6. On each PC wait until the local dropbox folder has updated, then run SyncArk (make sure 'task.download' is set to true in properties) You should now be synchronised ? - once all your servers are setup you can set task.download to false, this will prevent overwriting your local files Otherwise.. if it's a permissions issue, try taking ownership of AppData!

Xxtreme82 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 No files are in the same place exept now theres more studiowildcard randomletterandnumbers folders. The only way i have got anything to happen is if i physically put copies of the map files in the same places in each folder system. I know your not suppose to but just playing and testing. This isnt just one pc but all 3 PCs ive tried on. Every problem ive run into has been with every one of my pcs. Every time ive got something to work the same fix has worked on all of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have two options: 1. Remove the folder which the game doesn't save to 2. Set the local directory in the syncark properties file to the directory which the game saves to i.e. loc.local=C:\\Users\\yourusername\\AppData\\Local\\Packages\\StudioWildcard.NUMBERSANDLETTERS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xxtreme82 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 The folders listed under appdata studiowildcard.17716c21e3d1f, studiowildcard.4558480580bb9, studiowildcard.ARKAbberration, Studiowildcard.ARKExtinction, Studiowildcard.ARKScorchedEarthGamePreview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrokSurvivor Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 I think studiowildcard.4558480580bb9 is the same as mine.. Delete this one: studiowildcard.17716c21e3d1f That'll be the one syncark is using which will be the wrong one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xxtreme82 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 What would block the program from doing the initial download sequence. Ive only ever seen that once. Im noticing that i can only get the program to sync if it has all the files and folders including map data files etc. to upload to an empty dropbox. But if it cant upload because the files already exist it shuts down. The only time ive got it to run and sync without deleting the dropbox syncark folder first was the only time ive seen it download. My thought is if theres no info to download and it doesnt need that sequence it skips to the next but if theres any info needed for download it errors and shuts down??? Maybe something blocking download. All fresh installs of windows 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It performs an install instead (this happens if your dropbox doesn't contain a syncark folder already) 3. Local folder structure for maps don't exist i.e. you haven't run a player dedicated server instance on each map (this would stop syncark) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
