ARKinadium Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Anyone else have problems with the event never firing despite being activated via the -activeevent command as listed in the pc patch notes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtmaster79 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Then you read something wrong. In the patch notes there is nothing in it that it is activated via the -activeevent .. that must be activated via the two timers and -NewYearEvent ..

dtmaster79 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Is that so hard to understand? Both timers must be entered on the server in the start.bat and -NewYearEvent. NOT -activeevent. Do you even read the patch notes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got several dozen people I know of who haven't been able to trigger it, would love to hear how you did it. And yes, we all read the patch notes to no avail.

dtmaster79 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 There was nothing about single player in the posts or in the title .. I don't play a single player .. I always play on my clusters .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen here, I have been doing this stuff since Ark was released, and I have entered the information correctly in the commandline as suggested. If you don't have any helpful advice go away!

I am not sure if this helps or not, but I rolled back my servers and started them up again and it worked for me. All I can advise, is to make sure that you have something like this in your command file (AKA bat) -ActiveEvent=WinterWonderland -NewYearEvent as for the time event codes, I made sure they were at the end of the other ? list of commands. ?NewYear1UTC=1609552800?NewYear2UTC=1609639200 And make sure you use the converter to use local times, to the time you wish to start the event. The values I used above were test values on a test server, and I got it to work by rolling back the server and then running the command file with the above information. I hope that helps!

dtmaster79 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 I don't have the active event = winter wonderland in the row on my cluster .. You don't need that while the event is active .. Usually only when the event is officially over .. At least it was the last events like this .. with me the line like this and worked very well without resetting the server etc .. here for example by ScorchedEarth .. start ShooterGameServer.exe "ScorchedEarth_P?SessionName=ARK StoryLine ScorchedEarth GE Chronic. TS: WPG?QueryPort=27015?RCONPort=27020?Port=7777?MapPlayerLocation=True?PreventTribeAlliances=False?AllowFlyingStaminaRecovery=True?MaxPersonalTamedDinos=600?PersonalTamedDinosSaddleStructureCost=1?MaxPlayers=60?PreventSpawnAnimations=true?ForceAllStructureLocking=true?listen?NewYear1UTC=1609524900?NewYear2UTC=1609528500 -NewYearEvent -NoTransferFromFiltering -automanagedmods -exclusivejoin -USEALLAVAILABLECORES -culture=de -server -clusterid=wpg -ClusterDirOverride=E:/clusters" exit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I did it to show the Original Author, in case he may have had the new year event as the active event! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtmaster79 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 OK. That explains it of course .. Of course I didn't know that .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
