Savage Lands WMD Ark: Survival Evolved Server

Current Version: v194.0, Status: Deploying!

* Moving most servers to new faster host! Better official server framerates, woot!
* Activating the Flare Gun when riding a Dino will now automatically shoot the Flare upwards
* Your selected Survivor Spawn Region is now remembered when reconnecting your client
* Server Admins can now disable Taming on a per-Dino basis via their config
* PvE server admins can now enable building in Caves via their config
* Gendered Tamed Dinos will only drop Eggs if Mate-Boosted now, and only Female Dinos lay eggs now ;)
* Alpha predators now give 4x the regular amount of resources and nothing but prime meat!
* Added Alpha versions of Carnotaurus and Utahraptor -- they buff less than the Alpha Rex, however.
* Fix for one last case of possibly erroneously entering Spectator mode
* Picking up your own Tamed Dinos' eggs no longer aggros Wild Dinos of that species ;)
* Titanboa now has damage overlay
* Sarco tail has proper IK again
* Barricades (Metal and Wooden) can now be painted
* You can now eat/drink when caught in a Bear Trap
* Can no longer ride a dino that is snared in a Bear Trap... gotta free it first.
* You can no longer mount a dino if you're snared in a Bear Trap
* Harvested resources now properly respawn in singleplayer/non-dedicated host!

New Server's "GameUserSettings.ini" values:
//to allow building in caves
[ServerSettings]
AllowCaveBuildingPvE=true
or
?AllowCaveBuildingPvE=true

And in Server's "Game.ini", to prevent Taming of specific Dino's:
[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
PreventDinoTameClassNames="Argent_Character_BP_C"
PreventDinoTameClassNames="Ptero_Character_BP_C"
//etc etc -- all dino classnames are in the ARK Dev Kit, maybe someone can put them on the ARK Wiki ;)

v193.1
* Fixed an issue where clients might sometimes not get the Spawn menu if dying very soon after connecting to an online session. Servers do not need to update to get this fix, is purely a client-side change.

v193.0
* SERVER LAG ("MEGA STALLS") FIX!!
* New Items: Small and Large Bear Traps, for locking players and dinos in their tracks!
* New Structure: Stone Behemoth Gate
* New rare "Alpha" T-Rex can be found that is bigger and meaner than the regular T-Rex with distinct color schema, gives a unique cosmetic (and a ton of XP and resources) if you defeat it. It also buffs the resistance and damage of nearby carnis around it due to its Alpha-pack dominating status. You can't tame it... yet... but we'd like feedback on whether the community would be interested in more of this direction.
* Tamed Dinos now lay Eggs over time without having to leave them alone i.e. they now do it in real-time and you can watch them... o_O
* New Door option: "Admin-Only access", which can be combined with PIN coding and Locking. Allows only Admins free access to the door in Tribe-shared environments, everyone else in the Tribe has to either enter PIN code or be locked-out. We recommend combining this with the new "Admin-Only Demolish" Governance option for Shared Structures, otherwise Tribe Members can just Demolish their way into your secret Admin Rooms anyway ;)
* Admins can now "Demote" other admins from within the Tribe Manager (you can not Demote the Founder, so he/she is the ultimate arbiter of justice!). Please use this power wisely!
* You can no longer damage Tamed dinos thru Walls/Structures (prevents cheaping out people's dinos from outside their bases)
* Fixed bug where clients sometimes couldn't see the equipped items/saddles on characters
* Aquatic dinos swimming against water surface is now perfectly smooth, doesn't result in a hard-stop of your character anymore.
* Added the rest of the Dino Damage overlays
* Dealt with the Trilobites' resources: they now clamp resource harvest amounts (no overdamage.. we need to ween off that ;), they only yield pearls and oil rarely, and they are significantly less common in the shallows.
* Misc Spectator mode improvements (alphabetical player list, no longer considered "idle" for kicking, fixed sometimes getting into spectator mode when not desired, etc)
* Canteens are no longer consumed when making soups
* New Tribe Governance Option for Structures: Tribe Owned, Admin-Only Demolish
* You can now properly enter spectator mode after dying without getting stuck at a black screen
* More dino blood overlays, & option to disable Dino blood overlays
* Stone harvesting settings are back at +75%. An underlying change with the harvesting system had inadvertently affected them, thanks for the reports :)
* Fixed various server crashes
* ARK Tribute (Obelisk) Item Transfer disabled on Official Servers for now, was unbalancing to PvP, needs further design work.

* Dedicated servers can now optionally load custom maps via ModID diectly , rather than having to specify the map name directly, using this syntax:
ShooterGameServer.exe -MapModID=485317707?GameModIds=487516323,487516324,487516325

(where the MapModID is the Steam Workshop FileID of your custom map, and the GameModIds are the Id's of the stacked mods you wish to use, in order)

v193 NEW ENGRAMS FOR YOUR CUSTOM SERVER GAME.INI's:
EngramEntry_StoneGateway_Large
EngramEntry_StoneGateLarge
EngramEntry_BearTrap_Large
EngramEntry_BearTrap

v192.0
* Fixed Function and Middle Mouse Wheel keybindings work again
* Sickle now yields 3x the amount of Fiber it was previously harvesting per stroke.
* Various Spectator Camera and control improvements
* Canteen can now be properly filled up at a Water Tap.
* Primitive Servers now have the missing engrams: Feeding Trough and Sickle
* Lots more Dino Damage overlays (almost all of them), and now properly dissolves away
* Fixed a bug that was causing hitchy startup/loading on Mac/Linux and memory spikes on some dedicated servers
* Reduced aggressive immediate dino repopulation to avoid server lag spikes
* Players should not randomly become spectators anymore
