Starrwolff77 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Hi there, I play strictly solo. I sent my character and my best Argie to Scorched, tamed/raised a bunch of the critters, including a beloved wyvern. I took a bunch of them to an obelisk to upload them back to my Island. Everything was fine, i loaded up the quetzes I had there, had each of my flyers set to follow one in front, with me riding one of the platform quetzes back to base... for some reason, half of the flyers vanished and didn't re-spawn when I flew back along the same path. When I landed back at the obelisk to see if they went back there, I got off the quetz and called to the dragon.. and it just flew off god knows where... I installed pet finder and it just seems to point to the Pteranodon i'm on. I have no programming knowledge of any kind.. is it possible for a complete utter noob to use your tool? If nothing else, I really want to find my Quetz, and Argie that i've had for over 18 months now. Can this tool point to where they are on the map?

You have to download the zip file from github and extract it somewhere. 2. You have to install Java (if not already existing) 3. Open cmd --> Cd to the path where you unpacked the zip 4. Execute the Tool with a command like that start /B /WAIT "" /affinity F0 "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_101\bin\java" -Xmx4G -jar ark-tools.jar tamed C:\arkdedicated\ark\ShooterGame\Saved\Saved\TheIsland.ark C:\Scripts\ark\output\tamed\ -p -s --pretty-printing --statistics All paths in this command needs to be replaced with your paths to java/arkserver/output directory.

McBane Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 If I export tribes with "ark-tools.sh tribes <A> <B> --creatures" the output creates a json file for tribe with id 0. I'm not sure how I should interprete it. What is it used for? It looks like all wild dinos are inside, but why an extra dummy tribe file for that?

Infelphira Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Hello! I have no knowledge of programming-- I get about as far as running the tool before I'm totally lost. I'd like to unmod some Wyverns who were affected by classic fliers, as they are now stuck in my obelisk. I read about a user using this tool to unmod the dinos and it made it possible to pull them out. It's most likely an issue with their movement speed being over the base amount. How could I go about doing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know this mod most likley replaces the vanilla wyvern with a modded one. Which means. In your obelisk is a modded dino which represents an own dino class. If something could work, then I would suggest try change the class from the modded dino to the vanilla dino. But I'm not sure if this is possible with those tools.

How could I go about doing this? You can't unmod them. A mod dino is an other type of dino than a non mod dino. Thats exactly the reason why you shouldn't use flyer mods. Better wait till the speed is coming back in vanilla (Confirmed for the TLC dino pass). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kahranna Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Could someone please give me the cmd commands to perform the following task(s): To find every tamed dino/every tamed argentavis on the map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiMoAgE Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Does the ark-tools respect cloned dinos currently? Cause Im unable to find my cloned wyvern in the exported "tamed"-list EDIT: I found the clone (was Layer 8 error). It would be nice if the dev could add a clone tag for cloned dinos.

Mavrick Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I haven't used this tool in a while, so i sort of forgot how to export the eggs from a save file into a json. Anyone have a quick command for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonsXPS Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 there seems to be an issue when converting local ark profile data from json back to .arkprofile I keep getting the following error when I run the j2l parameter of the tool: java.lang.NullPointerException at qowyn.ark.ArkLocalProfile.writeBinary(ArkLocalProfile.java:108) at qowyn.ark.tools.ConvertingCommands.fromJson(ConvertingCommands.java:123) at qowyn.ark.tools.ConvertingCommands.jsonToLocalProfile(ConvertingCommands.java:60) at qowyn.ark.tools.App.main(App.java:125) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavrick Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 With the size of these save files being so big, has anyone figured out how to export a tribe and then import it into a new save file? For example, if i wanted to export my tribe from a save file, then reimport it back into a new save? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilcious Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Hi everyone ! Thanks to @Qowyn, I am able to make use of my save files. But once I extracted the data in json, I don't know how to display them correctly on a website for stats... Does anyone have any idea on how to make use of those ? I mean displaying them in a user friendly way on website for instance ? I have a website using Wordpress for my tribe but don't know how to use those datas on it. Any help ? Thanks !

TangiblePear Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I am struggeling to get any outputs for the "tribes" option. "tamed" and "wild" worked fine to get dino outputs. But below command only gives me one output file for "tribeless" where there are loads of tribes on this map which are seen fine when running the "tamed" command. Has this stopped working or am I doing something wrong? H:\Downloads\ark-tools>java -Xmx2G -jar ark-tools.jar tribes H:\Downloads\ark-tools\Ragnarok.ark H:\Downloads\ark-tools\output\tribes\ -p -s --pretty-printing --creatures --tribeless Need to load map, this may take some time... Loading map data finished after 7644 ms Loading tribes and writing info finished after 342 ms Total time 7986 ms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this this dinos / structures / items are lost because they leaved the tribe (Mostly happens when they are merging tribes in a wrong way), then you can use this command to add the members back to the tribe: https://ark.gamepedia.com/Console_Commands#ForcePlayerToJoinTargetTribe This command mostly solves such problems. But i don't know the exact situation you have on your server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bad member of one big tribe pick up all structures and kill all dinos, and i'm asking if width this tool (export from old server backup, and import to current ) can i restore this tribe state/structures/dinos from backup before this happened thnkx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andi79h Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Just in case you don't watch the issues of github very often, I added two requrests there: 1. https://github.com/Qowyn/ark-tools/issues/30 May we get "wandering flag" in the tamed dino export? 2. https://github.com/Qowyn/ark-tools/issues/32 May we get "demolish timestamps" for structures (and maybe dinos as well) in tribe->structures? That'll be awesome! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldino Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 For anyone struggling to run ark-tools or read its output, I've created Larkator which runs ark-tools for you and shows the results on a map. Check it out at https://github.com/coldino/Larkator. You'll still need ark-tools. Features: Find both wild and tamed creatures Filter based on species, gender, min and max levels Show the results on a map with full coordinates Helps you find your lost tames Creature stat-points are shown to help you find that elusive next tame Automatically re-reads your .ark file when it changes Please keep this thread on topic out of respect for ark-tools. If there is interest, I'll start a thread for Larkator. Disclaimer: This tool is still very new so may be a little rough around the edges. It also currently only has a map of the Island as this is all I've used it with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
