José Gaspar 58 Posted September 3, 2019 Setting up a Blackwood server and was wondering is there a list of the various settings in game.ini and gameusersettings.ini that can be used to configure the server. How close are these to the ARK serversettings? Specfic interested ares.

RenWmn 30 Posted September 4, 2019 (edited) Hey! Unfortunately I don't believe there is a master list of server configurations right now. We could really use one! I can give you some answers. Some of the .ini codes and settings work for Atlas. Your day and night codes should work. With Blackwood it is designed more like an Ark modded map. The setup and running the server is going to be very much like Ark in many aspects. The "normal" way up until Blackwood to run Atlas was much more complicated and different from an Ark server. There is a Redis database, map grid editor, .json files. With the clustered sea squares there is a lot more complexity but also the ability to customize things in the .json files more. Some of the things that you might want to modify may be possible with the .json but are not accessible running Blackwood. That being said there are definitely Atlas specific settings. This older thread has some of the custom ini settings and discussion of them:ALL AVAILABLE INI CHANGES AVAILABLE? Due to being so busy most of my records aren't in good order to share. Hopefully someone has a better public list out there that is shareable. Edited September 4, 2019 by RenWmn 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay8454 25 Posted September 11, 2019 In the TC Admin, these are not all necessary to set and it depends on what your TC admin is like. These are MY settings and they work for me I work a job so I have things set a little more progressive for me. Most settings I did not mess with because they could break it, I didn't know what they did and I don't want to reinstall and wait. I also am posting my settings to help others for one but I also need a hand with a setting, if running Blackwood and your computer crashes, your ship hits the server wall and gets destroyed. What is the setting to take your sleeping character out of the game so your ship stops? Everything I changed is marked with:[this] and adjusted from default.

José Gaspar 58 Posted September 15, 2019 (edited) I set this as my Day/Night Interval for fairly predicable days of 1 hour, 2/3 day, 1/3 night, same settings I used for ARK DayCycleSpeedScale=0.84458 DayTimeSpeedScale=1.0303 NightTimeSpeedScale=0.93333 It does slightly move each restart. but when playing is nice to know if you want to take a break for night time, you have 20 minutes, or if you need to plan for night action, you have idea how long until night fall. Also I found changing the vitamins to match the food drain helps the game so you don't get no vitamins and full scenario PlayerCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier=0.5 PlayerCharacterVitaminADrainMultiplier=0.5 PlayerCharacterVitaminBDrainMultiplier=0.5 PlayerCharacterVitaminCDrainMultiplier=0.5 PlayerCharacterVitaminDDrainMultiplier=0.5 I would be nice to have a complete official list.

Not trying to be sarcastic just trying to understand if there is something better at play with not rounding the numbers to 0.85 vs 0.84458. Because I'd remember Arma 2 like things a certain way and if it wasn't it'd grind the server to a halt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jay8454 25 Posted September 26, 2019 Jose the server I have isn't set up like that. It has the DefaultGameUserSettings.ini within Shootgame/Config. It has a GameUserSetting.ini in the TC Admin along with Game.ini. Shouldn't adjustments be made more so in the Game.ini? Like the ARK wiki says? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay8454 25 Posted October 6, 2019 Everything works I found you had to have this in the game.ini to work >>>[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]<<< then you add whatever configs you need. I had an issue without that every time I'd start the server everything would vanish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samsonetty 5 Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) Hello, I hope somebody can help me, you see here a picture that has an active sextant, the minimap is totally out of focus, on the officers servers it works, is it only like that on Blackwood, or in the whole a server setting for the graphics? If yes, please help me, otherwise the sextant is useless if you can't see the overview. Enclosed the picture Please move herehttps://www.playatlas.com/index.php?/forums/topic/106350-blackwood-minimap/ Edited December 2, 2020 by Samsonetty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
