Hello Survivor,

After many hours of frustration, being ignored and having my questions deleted and tickets closed by the Hosting company I am using I am sad to say I am letting go of my ark server.

It's like torture to have to spend every spare second I have putting so much effort in to make it work and having the programme that I use to update the server corrupting the files or downright refusing to install them.

I cannot do it anymore. Kronos have pissed me off beyond repair by deciding instead of helping me they will pretend I do not exist, then send me a bill for a service I cannot currently use.

Ark Server Launcher is the devil and I will gladly be rid of it from my life. If you want to play on an awesome server please join me with Kyi on AU Ark of Shadows.


Thanks for playing,

JessKa

Hello Survivor,

Working on the server again today, unsure at this stage if stable as I cannot access it until after I am done with ALLLLL of the updates..

So far I have:

ADDED:
Dino Pick Up Mod v1.1

UPDATED:

254.96 Released - 23 February, 2017
Fixed various cases where Auto Turrets would not fire or improperly miss.

255.0 Released - 26 February, 2017
New Dino: Electrophorus!
New Dino: Microraptor!
New Dino: Ammonite!
New Dino: Thylacoleo!
New Structure: Tek Forcefield
New Structures: Tek Tileset & Tek Doors
New additional head head hairstyle and additional facial hairstyle
30 new Explorer Notes
Rocket Launcher & C4 rebalance: C4 now does approximately 70% more damage to Structures than Rockets. Rocket Launcher can no longer have Item Stats (though its base Damage has been increased 20% to compensate). Rocket Turrets now take a slight amount of damage when they fire, and can not fire under 5% HP.
C4-carrying Flyers now move at a fixed slow speed.
Item Stats on all Official Servers are now clamped to negate the old no-longer-achievable OP items generated by then-unbalanced Fishing Rod.
Added option for per-Tribe Dino Tame limit, enabling on Official PvE servers with a max of 500 Dinos Per Tribe (with on-screen indicator of Tribe Dino count). To use it, run with ?MaxPersonalTamedDinos=Number
Added option to auto-destroy claimable decayed dinos on load, rather than have them remain around as Claimable. To use this, run with ?AutoDestroyDecayedDinos=true. Official PvE servers now have this enabled.

255.1 Released - February 26, 2017
Fixed issue seeing the tooltip for Fertilized Eggs
Fixed issue with MaxPersonalTamedDinos value not decrementing when Unclaiming Dinos that were loaded from save data.
Various network optimizations. Major rendering and threading optimizations to come in subsequent minor version update.

Moving into updating the mods before anything else..

Hello Survivor,

I thought everything was okay when I could finally log in today without getting a mod-mismatch but it turns out, I was soo far from right..

I have witnessed one mod not functioning, a shade of red and irremovable fog, teleporters disappearing, being booted randomly, invisible enemies attacking me and NPC's standing still while I smack them in the face.

Worst of all I was also flung above the visqueen by the teleporter pads while riding my favorite mount (my manticore).

I cant allow you to suffer this insanity so I have the server on LOCKDOWN.

I will be adding a password and quarantining it until I deem it stable again.


Please understand this may take some time, we are having issues with Launcher since the latest devkit dropped and its escalated by all these mods trying to keep up with the changes.

I will post again when I have made progress.


Thanks for understanding,

JessKa
