API Installation Steps:
- Download the resource by clicking the "Download" button.
- Unzip the contents of the ".zip" file into "ARK\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64"
- You can now start your ark survival ascended game server.
Plugin Installation Steps:
- Find a plugin you want to download inside the website's "Resources" section.
- Unzip the contents of the ".json" file into "ARK\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkApi\Plugins"
- You may now edit the ".json" files located inside the plugin folder you just installed, or you may now start the server.
Product Notes:
- The API will generate log files in this location "ShooterGame/Win64/logs/ArkApi.log"
- The API has built-in crash logs, which can be located inside "ShooterGame/Saved/Logs/"
- The API has no connection or affiliation with "Wildcard Studios" directly, nor should it ever be considered that "Wildcard Studios" endorses the API. The API is an open-source tool the community can use to run plugins for their video game servers.
- Please note when installing plugins into the "ARK\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkApi\Plugins" folder, you must make sure the ".DLL" plugin name matches the same "folder" name. Changing the folder name to something different or unique will prevent the ".DLL" from reading the folder and preventing it from starting.
