I have been messing around with setting up plugins all day. I've spent a fair few hours on this and finally managed to get a code working that was being accepted by https://jsonlint.com/ as a valid json. The problem now is, it keeps crashing my server. Anyone that's wise and able to do a quick look and see if i've completely botched this up? It's no rush but I would appreciate any input

What crashlog does it give you?

What crashlog does it give you?

It times me out and am unable to connect to the server again until I restart it. It doesn't show up on my crash logs actually (took me a while to find it but hey, i'm there..).

Ye it times everyone out and trying to connect again keeps timing us out until I restart the server >;

Not sure then, any errors on console?

2:31 PM

I'll get to your config later when I get a chance

No errors on console no, that's the weird thing

@Azarela Does this happen when the first player join, or randomly?

@Pelayori If anyone does /shop command and goes to /shop 8+ (8th tab etc) the server crashes. Kicks out ppl and it's impossible to connect to it until it's been restarted ^^'

Is there actually page 8, or there aren't enough items?

There was a page 12

So it's bugged somehow

No clue then, can't think of anything

@Pelayori Thank you for trying at least x

@Azarela monkeyarena <- this causing troubles

❤️ ty @cyx Frag I'll try without ty again

But i have no clue why it's making u error

Hi

So Im trying to make an own server on my vps... Ive installed everything, but when I try to start the server I dont know if it works. Thats my start command:

#!/bin/bash

screen -S NUTZERNAME ./ShooterGameServer "TheIsland?Multihome=0.0.0.0?SessionName="TestServer"?MaxPlayers="16"?QueryPort="27015"?RCONPort="32330"?Port="7777"?ServerAdminPassword="MyAdminPassword"?listen" -server -log

And thats the log https://pastebin.com/F8gxWe0Y And btw how can I connect to it or see the console?

[2021.05.26-15.07.50:716][ 0]Log file open, 05/26/21 17:07:50[2021...

Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.

you connect to your server by IP and port your.ip.address:27015

Is there anyway to set up a local server using shootergameserver.exe to test my plugin? Figured this is the place to ask.

Use ASM

Hello, I have a question, how can I cluster servers that are not on the same machine ? no worries to put servers in cluster on the same machine, that I understood well how it works, but I would like to use 2 different machines to manage my different servers in the same cluster.

There is no directly supported method for this.

The way Wildcard supports this is by uploading user cloud data to an object storage service (ex. AWS S3)

one solution people use is to setup rclone on the directory and have that sync the transfer directories between the machines

I've done this, using the GoodSync application to sync the cluster folder (edited)

since I want to avoid relying on third-party software, so rclone would be a possibility for me ?

rclone is what you would have to use, yes.

great, would you have an explanatory link, tutorial, video or other for the implementation of this ?

I do not

no worries, I'll look for it, thanks for your quick response

Hello, Since the release of Genesis 2, my servers have a big RAM issue. 5 servers now takes like 85% of my RAM (got a dedicated with 64Go) but before the release, I had 6 servers who was taking like 70%-75% of RAM. Genesis 2 map is actually taking 17 Go RAM, it's just insane. Anyone else have that issue too ? Is it on WC side, optimization of their DLC ? Or it could be a configuration problem ? Thank you (edited)

Gen2 doubled in Memory size, They are almost 13GB on my cluster compared to gen1 (6GB)

Not anything server related at all wildcard has a memory leak in new DLC and the map in general isn't optimized in general for ram usage. Our cluster is hitting 13-19gb for gen 2 map.

Ok, happy to see that's on their side. Thank you for your answer @GSH | MrOwlSky@jraServerAPI Btw, do you see that issue too on others maps ? I'm pretty sure the memory leak is also affecting my others servers (before Gen2 they used like 5-8 Go max and now they are near to 10 Go) (edited)

the only server setting that would affect memory usage in a noticeable way is StasisKeepControllers

11:59 PM

do you have that on?

No, I checked a lot the configuration and tried to optimize it the maximum I can

12:01 AM

I'm using ASM, here is the base config (who impact RAM)

WETBATMAN

do you have that on?

Btw, I've got 14 mods (PvE server so CKFR / SS / Arkomatic / Eco's mod / etc...) and a few plugins. I guess those can impact too but I had it before the release of Gen2 and servers never took that much memory

12:05 AM

I found this free application from Microsoft called RamMap https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/rammap It does a lot of things and one of them is it will free up memory on your machine. (select Empty > Empty Working Sets) I have 20 maps running and it was using 122+ GB of ram, now i'm only using 57 GB of ram. (edited)

Yeah, i guess there's some memory leaks in Ark? 2236_keka

I’m not sure of the performance implications

But you can do this

Empty Working Set from cmd

I want to write a cmd script to periodically empty the working set from the command prompt. For now I empty the working set in the Rammap tool from sysinternals, but that can't be run by a script.

6:05 AM

Maybe to empty it periodically

6:05 AM

There’s a c program you could compile. Not tested

6:11 AM

Or this maybe

6:11 AM

rammap is what i found

6:13 AM

works pretty darn good!

I know, I just wonder about stability and performance implications

6:16 AM

I think if you’re near your memory limit this tool could help relieve some pressure but I don’t know about running it just because 4 < 12

6:17 AM

It is not really possible to detect a memory leak from just memory analysis

6:17 AM

So it is removing something that may or may not need to exist later (and if needed may cause some extra loading time)

Yeah I have the same concerns, so far I havent noticed much of a difference, nobody has complained yet anyway haha

when my server boots up from a clean start it only uses 8 GB of RAM.. then I fire up my ARK maps, all 20 maps usually get me up to 120-130GB consumed. I've had many instances in the past where I have shut down all my maps, closed all programs and still had anywhere from 20-40 and sometimes 80-90 GB of RAM being used "somewhere".. and I could never ever find it. I would have to reboot the server to get it back. (edited)

https://stackoverflow.com/a/24638101

Hello, I tried it because I've got a big memory issue but when I do what you told, the RAM usage of each server goes down but the total amount of RAM usage for our dedicated stays the same. And some seconds / few minutes later, the RAM usage goes up. Is it normal ? Or am I missing something ?

I have a problem with Gen2 Quest Loots. We wanna open up the transfer to our Gen2 maps tomorrow aswell and did a complete rework of the loot to balance it with the other maps. It works totally fine until yesterday we learned that you cannot change the loot table for the gauntlet mission "Survive the ARK". My research in the DevKit showed that all quests are named in the same way:

MissionType_<ActualMissionType>_<MissionName>_<Difficulty>
i.e. MissionType_Race2_MilkGlider_Alpha for the Maewing Race

The only exception from this is the mission "Survive the ARK": Gauntlet2_MissionType_STA_Endless_Alpha According to the loot pros at beacon the containers for those two quests would be "Race2_Missionglider_Alpha_C" (this works just fine) and "STA_Endless_AlphaC" (this does not work, also not working with Beta and Gamma). The idea behind this is that the container is named like the Mission Name without the "MissionType" in the beginning. According to one guy from Beacon this worked in the beginning of Gen2 but stopped working around June 18th. I already tried different strings like "Gauntlet2_STA_Endless_Alpha" etc. but the quest always gives me vanilla loot. Do you have any idea on how to get the String for that quests loot container?

Users of ASM: Has anyone ever experienced this before? For some reason it will not show tribe names in the list, all other maps seems to work fine. I changed my RCON port, but it didnt seem to do anything. Unless that requires a restart.

This is bug, I managed to solve it once by deleting rcon logs and ASM logs. Otherwise solve only by deleting save.

@jraServerAPI Hi, how you use RamMap, you run an Empty Working Set every x time ?

I believe so, however I do not use it anymore as I'm not 100% sure if something that should be done.. eg is it removing needed resources? etc..

I understand that Ark uses 2 cores per map, so technically you should only be running 4 maps on 8 cores (but maybe less, because you need something for OS right?) But this is not my area of expertise, maybe others can chime in
