Ark Server Cluster Renting Group Xbox/Nitrado Hey fellow survivors, I'm looking for 3 other individuals to share a server cluster with on Ark (Xbox Platform). We would agree on reasonable settings, mods, etc. How it would work is each one of us would pay for one server a piece, each server hosting one of the vital maps (Ragnarok, Extinction, and Abberation, with the fourth hosting Genesis when it comes out.) Each of us would pay for our own server and map, and we all would be in the same cluster with the same cluster ID. Each map would have the same settings, and the rest can be worked out when the gang gets together. I would like to go through Nitrado. If anyone is interested please comment below. I think the cheapest servers were 14.99$ for 10 players at a time.

As Xbox players and hosts we've never had access to the .ini files to control our servers. Everything for us was pretty straightforward in terms of configuring settings, but we were also fairly limited in the amount of custom configuration we could implement. All of that of course changed when hosted servers arrived on scene, which opened us up to a whole-new-world of possibilities and headaches. I wanted to create this guide to help alleviate some of the pain associated with altering the .ini files, and to dispel some of the apprehension associated with implementing custom configuration code. I spent days researching, hours writing code, and hours fixing some of the mistakes I made. I figured some of you folks might find some value in the mistakes I've made, and what I've learned through my trial-by-fire. What follows is a sectional guide on the use of Expert Mode, and how to configure some of the more common custom configuration elements. NFD vs. Expert Mode When you first access the Nitrado Admin Console, you will find that they have created their own version of the configuration menu we had when running PDS through our consoles. It's all very straightforward and simplified, and it will look pretty familiar. For most of the settings you will want to alter, this is by far the easiest way to go about it. I have dubbed their console, Nitrado for Dummies. This is not to say you are a Dummy if you use this, but it is a simplified means of configuring the server; thus, the moniker. If you run a single server, and are apprehensive about altering the .ini files, this might be your best option for server configuration. A few things to consider before deciding which configuration mode you want to proceed with: How you want to customize your server: If you want to implement changes to level progression or custom stats, the NFD interface can be very time consuming (I'll get further into detail about these aspects later on) How many servers you run: if you run more than one server, and intend to implement customization, the NFD interface is a massive time-suck. Is your apprehension justified?: The simple reality here is that, there isn't a major difference between engaging the NFD interface, and directly manipulating the .ini files. Just like the NFD interface, every line item in the .ini file is easily identified. As an example: NightTimeSpeedScale=.7 DayTimeSpeedScale=.7 TamingSpeedMultiplier=3.0 HarvestAmountMultiplier=3.0 HarvestHealthMultiplier=3.0 Note: When switching to Expert Mode, most of the configuration options disappear from the General Settings interface. You will also notice that Engine Settings is replaced by Expert Settings. When switching from one configuration mode to the other, settings do not usually transfer. If you have been using the NFD interface for any period of time, it is probable that most configuration settings will show up in the .ini files; however, custom level progression and other custom configurations may not. Be sure to scan the .ini files to ensure that your server is configured according to your desires, check it again, and then proceed. Expert Mode Sounds fancy, right: Expert Mode, dun dun dun. It's neither as glamorous or as ominous as it might at first appear. If you've made it through this wall of text, and are now ready to start tinkering with the .ini files, here is where we begin. First things first, let's identify exactly what we're working with, and what goes where. To activate Expert Mode, you will navigate to the General Settings interface, click the little box at the top, and then click save. Once this is done, the pane on the left will look like: Let's go ahead and click on Expert Settings, and take a gander. You will notice that you're now nose-to-nose with an .ini file. Pretty unimpressive right? Feel free to scroll around, and familiarize yourself with what you're looking at. You'll notice that not all of your settings are here, and that's because there is more than one file in this interface. Click the area highlighted in red, and a drop down will appear. Once there, go ahead and click on Game.ini, the click Load File. You will notice that there is an Engine.ini in the drop down, but it is blank, and has nothing to do with what we're doing here. You will make use of both files in this interface when configuring your server, as they both contain different game variables. You will want to acclimate yourself with both of these files, so you know where everything is when you need to alter a variable. Note: Under GameUserSettings.ini you are going to see all manner of things you might be tempted to tinker with. Avoid altering settings directly under the following sections: [/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameUserSettings] [ScalabilityGroups] [/Script/Engine.GameSession] Alterable variables fall below the following sections: [SessionSettings] SessionName=[US] Ark FTW-Ragnarok (this is the name of your server, and can be changed at your leisure) [ServerSettings] (many of the settings you found under General Settings are now found here, and they can all be altered) AutoSavePeriodMinutes=15.000000 (this can be altered, but I have read there may be some performance related issues in so doing, so probably don't) In order to make any changes to these files, you're going to need to completely stop your server. Once the server is completely stopped, you can make any necessary alterations to the .ini files. Once those alterations have been made, click Save, and then go have yourself a cup of coffee. Nitrado recommends that you wait around 4 minutes before bringing your server back up, as the backend has to make conversions. I also always run a server check any time I make any changes, which is probably a good habit to acquire. If you don't wait, you may end up with corrupted data, so wait the 4 minutes. Now, let's talk about some of the custom configurations you can make, and some of the resources I've found helpful. Level Ramp Overrides This is just a fancy way of identifying the option to add a custom level scheme to your server, and it works for both Players and Dinos. I'm going to break this down into three sections: Players and Dinos, Engrams, and Resources...oh my? Players and Dinos How you proceed here will be largely dependent on the type of server you run. Using the Overrides you can add more levels, reduce the total number of levels, and completely reshape the way you progress through those levels. Altering the Dino progression scheme is straightforward; not so much for players. The game reserves 30 levels for ascension, so you need to keep this in mind when you're deciding on a max level. The easiest way to explain it is: If you want a max server level of 150, after ascension, you will simply add 150 levels If you want a max server level of 150, before ascension, you will need 180 levels in total Ramps Another factor to consider is how you want your ramp to work. What is a ramp you ask? Simply put, it is the increase in experience required per level. You can effectively create any ramping scheme you want with the override. The vanilla progression system uses a progressive ramp with a steep curve towards the end. I use the vanilla ramp up through 115, and then a wave scheme thereafter. Maybe you want a linear ramp where each level requires the same amount of experience. The world is your oyster here, so do whatever feels good to you. Code Now let's talk a bit about code, shall we? The method for coding is linear, but it is time consuming. There is an override variable for both Players and Dinos, and you will need to create a block of code for each if you intend to create custom level schemes for both. If you elect to override the vanilla level cap and progression, your code block MUST start at level 0, and MUST include every-single level you want to have on your server. I made the mistake of starting my code block at a specific level, instead of coding every level, and I magically transported every logged in player to level 82. So what does the code look like? Glad you asked: LevelExperienceRampOverrides=(ExperiencePointsForLevel[0]=5,ExperiencePointsForLevel[1]=20,ExperiencePointsForLevel[2]=40,ExperiencePointsForLevel[3]=70 As you can see, there isn't anything overly complicated about the actual syntax of the code. If you've noticed something odd, however, you're right to be suspicious. Level 0. Well, there is no Level 0 in the game, so what on earth is that for? When you first spawn on the beach, you are already at level 1, so it seems odd that this wouldn't start at level 2, right? Level 0 in this code block represents level 2 in-game. So if you are coding these blocks, always subtract 2 from the max level: If you want 180 total levels, your code block will start at Level 0 and end at Level 178. Engrams Points Now that you've coded out your level progression system, what about engram points? Just like with levels, you can employ any engram point scheme your wee heart desires, and it is all linear: OverridePlayerLevelEngramPoints=8 OverridePlayerLevelEngramPoints=8 OverridePlayerLevelEngramPoints=8 OverridePlayerLevelEngramPoints=8 OverridePlayerLevelEngramPoints=8 OverridePlayerLevelEngramPoints=8 OverridePlayerLevelEngramPoints=8 OverridePlayerLevelEngramPoints=8 OverridePlayerLevelEngramPoints=12 OverridePlayerLevelEngramPoints=12 OverridePlayerLevelEngramPoints=12 Each line ties directly to a level, and in order. So, the first line is the number of engram points you gain at Level 0 in your level code block, and so on. Your engram points code block should match your level code block in terms of numbers: If you have 198 levels written into your code block, you will need 198 lines in your engram points block if you want each level to come with engram points. Resources The following are some of the things I found useful when setting up my server's progression scheme: Ark's vanilla level scheme from the Wiki Code Generator Tool Note that the level scheme is out of date, so you will need to adjust if you intend to use the vanilla progression scheme up through any particular level Also note that, the site has other tools for custom settings aside from levels and engram points Server Configuration Specifics from the Wiki More to follow...

Alliance System Is Currently BROKEN - Please Address The current alliance system is broken. Example Tribe A creates a alliance then invites Tribe B Tribe A is registered as using 1 alliance slot but Tribe B is not registered as using any alliance slot. This post a issue when you are hosting a Nitrado non-dedi server. I want 1 max alliance per tribe but the way the system is currently designed both Tribe A and B can have 2 alliances there are no ways to make it 1 Max alliance per tribe. The system should have been coded so if Tribe A and Tribe B both agree to alliance this is counted as 1 alliance on both sides. Currently the tribe doing the inviting is register as 1 alliance slot used the tribe accepting still has their alliance slot left. At the moment there are no ways to make it so I can have MaxAlliancesPerTribe=1 MaxTribesPerAlliance=2 I want each tribe to only have 1 alliance and max tribe per alliance to be 2, meaning both tribes make a max of 2 tribes per alliance. This is not currently possible. I don't understand how such a flaw got overlooked. This can't be intentionally and if it is it is very BROKEN. If I set MaxAlliancesPerTribe=1 MaxTribesPerAlliance=2 It doesn't work. Both has to be set to 2 but once set to MaxAlliancesPerTribe=2 MaxTribesPerAlliance=2 we run into the current issues we are facing. I have a 6 cluster operation going on with 4 man tribes but the alliance system is not working the way I want it too. I am currently not able to get a 1 alliance per tribe system going.

Putting Extinction and Ragnarok dinos into Valguero Hi ive just got a server recently from Nitrado and Ive been trying to implement dinos from other maps to spawn on Valguero. But so far ive had no success i know people have done it on other maps so it must be possible as well on this. If you have been having the same problem or know how to fix it please let me know. (Btw im on xbox) ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesTundra_C",NPCSpawnEntries=( (AnEntryName="GriffinSpawner",EntryWeight=1.0,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Griffin_Character_BP_C"))), NPCSpawnLimits=( (NPCClassString="Griffin_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.1) ) ) This is the command ive been trying to run but it hasn't been working, anyone know what im doing wrong?

I have been currently trying to get the: Gacha,Snow owl,Basilisk,Crab,Reaper Queen,Role rat and Bulb dog to spawn on my Ragnarok Server. I have tried a certain code, but when i add it to the server and i go on the server none of them have spawned in. I do not know what i'm doing wrong if anybody could tell me what i'm doing wrong or if i'm using the wrong code, if so can someone supply me with new spawn codes for these animals that would be great. Code that i used to try to spawn the creatures in: ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntries_Ragnarok_SnowPlains",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Snowowlforest",EntryWeight=0.1,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Owl_Character_BP_C"))),((NPCClassString="Owl_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.1))) ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="Se_DinoSpawnEntriesDunes",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="plaindesert",EntryWeight=0.1,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Basilisk_Character_BP_C"))),((NPCClassString="Basilisk_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.1))) ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesBeach",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Beaches",EntryWeight=0.1,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("LanternPug_Character_BP_C"))),((NPCClassString="LanternPug_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.1))) ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesSwamp",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Swamp",EntryWeight=0.1,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Crab_Character_BP_C"))),((NPCClassString="Crab_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToALlow=0.1))) ConfigAddNPCSPawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpwanEntries_RedwoodWater",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Redwoodbeach",EntryWeight=0.1,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("MoleRat_Character_BP_C"))),((NPCClassString="MoleRat_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.1))) ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesRedwoods",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Redwoods",EntryWeight=0.1,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Gacha_Character_BP_C"))),((NPCCLassString="Gacha_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentgeOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.1))) ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesMonsterIsland",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Deathisland",EntryWeight=0.1,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Xenomorph_Character_BP_Female_C"))),((NPCClassString="Xenomorph_Character_BP_Female_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.1)))

Nitrado PVE timer. I'm currently running a server on nitrado and been trying to get it set to pvp 6am to 6pm and then pve 6pm till 6am. I've put a tick in the box for pve timer and put the start time at 64800 and pve end time at 21600. Is that right as I've been playing on the server all day and it still says pvpve, and different tribes hurt each other. It's been hit and miss if the server is running pve or pvp, I cant seem to figure out the exact times it changes. We have offline raid protection so we can ally up. So any help would be much appreciated.

Can't find nitrado server So today my nitrado server froze with only 3 people online, we logged out but could not connect again as it said could not retrieve address. So I restarted ark and restarted the nitrado server and now it doesnt show in the session list. I've spoke to nitrado and they said everything is fine with the server so it's at your end. Any suggestions or anyone else experiencing this problem? It's been off for nearly 2 hours now.

Anyone else that uses Nitrado on Xbox or PS4 get their servers updated with current patch yet?

Nitrado Server Help?!?? I have a Xbox Nitrado PVP server on valguero and we have offline damage prevention turned on and we are still able to do damage to structures and people offline with the Tek Sword. Not sure if I did something wrong or if its a bug. Someone help me please.

So I was told that I can just turn off the timer by setting (AlwaysAllowStructurePickUp=True) so now I don’t need a timer which is good but when every time I go up to a structure instead of going to option first It would just say pick up Which in some cases I tend to break stuff on accident, which is bother some for some of my friends and I. I was wondering if there’s a way to fix this issue.

Need immediate Help with Character glitch!

Myadminmanager says he doesn’t have a character. Idk what’s happened he’s restored his licences and it still hasn’t worked. And suggestion please or maybe even some Dev help?

Does anyone know how to add the S+ mod on Xbox Nitrado? I've been trying and have only had luck with picking up items after placement. Nothing else and I would love to be able to use the structures and tools S+ offers. Unless it's not available on Xbox Nitrado? Also, Does "ActiveMods" work? If so, How?

base wipe crashing server. Hi there, Im attempting a clear up of defunct bases on my server and im facing challenges. Now i have tried the blink rifle, but if too much of the structure falls, the game crashes. If i try to use the "destroytribeidstructures" command, it crashes the server and i have to stop the server and restart it. So, what im after ,is does anyone know of a sure fire way to destroy bases without the above challenges? Is there an admin command that works better?

Windows 10 Nitrado Server - Valguero saving bug? (& Setup question!) Recently, there has been an issue with many people's Xbox dedicated servers which do not save any progress made on the Valguero map. I would like to host a Nitrado server for people to play on with the Windows 10 version of the game - as this version is fundamentally identical to Xbox version, does anybody know whether my server would be affected by this bug? Furthermore, if anybody could be so kind, when hosting a nitrado server for Windows 10, I believe one has to use the Windows Nitrado app which has options for both an 'Xbox' and 'PC' ARK server - which one should I purchase in order to play with the Windows 10 version of the game? Does 'PC' mean Windows or the Steam version, it isnt particularly clear and answers are not easy to come across. Any help is hugely appreciated, if any further information is required from me, I'm more than willing to provide. Thank you for taking the time to read -Cyto.

(need help) Nitrado Blueprints Hello, I have a slight issue. So basically I own a 20 slot nitrado server on Xbox. With blueprints (Infinite crafting skill and super good blueprints) The blueprint will only craft at 100% and for some reason the code in the expert settings for blueprint quality or whatever isn't there. Can anyone tell me what the code is?

Hello there Guys!! First off, i'm sorry for my englisch. I just have a Question. Is there a way to get the Indominus Rex and the Indoraptor on a private Nitrado Server? (PS4) Thank you!

Wanting to create an Xbox server but I have some questions. Hey everyone! I'm wanting to create a server for Xbox but run it off of my PC. Is there a way to do this? Also, I assume if it is possible, then I need to have the game on my PC as well?

Ayo, so I’ll try to stay simple with this. I’m creating a server for ark on ragnarok in a few days, I already know how to add abberation creatures and items into the game, however I haven’t seen anything so far in doing the same with extinction. I have been able to spawn all the things through admin commands, but of course I’d rather not have to do that all the time. so if anyone found anything or finds anything, I’d appreciate the help and I’d give you a digital cookie ^o^
