Atlas Server Manager never wanted to run smooth, it has a gui and stores settings in registry, but fails in the purpose - keep atlas up to date...

So far, this works very good even if you have to edit the config files by urself:

How i manage our atlas server:

• redis as service
• auto updater to keep atlas bootet / up to date
• ftp for making edits to atlas json / ini files
• rcon to shutdown atlas server - all grid's (it starts up right away bcuz auto updater detects it is not running anymore)
• cobian backup 11 gravity (freeware) to backup atlas server related files every 3 hrs
  (saved folder / servergrid + .json / redis rdb - rotating 30 files backlog if there should be a crash)

I didn't know about this soft, i will take a look thanks !

Great job, but it seems very complicated to someone thats not good on a PC,,,like me.

Thanks ! Yeah actually there's no good and stable software to manage an Atlas Server like ARK has with ASM (This one look promising https://arkserverapi.com/resources/atlas-server-manager.80/ but it's nothing compared to ASM). And to be honest, i prefer to do my own scripts (i'm a web dev so of course it's easier for me) but at least you're sure to not have any side effect or errors from the software. I like said in the tutorial, i only had 2 crash since 1 month, so it's pretty stable to be honest. And of course if you have any problem or question to setup your server ask me.

As title say, I'm looking for some spec on CPU and RAM for a possible 5x5...

i was looking for CPU at some amd ryzen 7, they are good at it? or i7 are better?

And for RAM, what's the best? 

Map 3x3 with 0 players connected : http://prntscr.com/me7a2y With an Intel  i7-7700K OC - 4c/8t - 5GHz, 64Go DDR4 2400 MHz and a NVMe hard drive.

But the RAM usage with also depend how many island do you have on each grid.

Now My Redis to 40GB.

How Delete expired key!

Thx

I had the same problem on my server, my Redis DB started to get bigger and bigger (it shouldn't go up more than 10/15 MB) and the only solution was to do a rollback with a previous save of the redis_atlasdb.rdb and all the Saved directory.

Awesome job man. Very detailed and great layout

Thanks !

3.9 Map Generated
 

I have uploaded my own map (3x3) for you so you can use it as you want but i recommand you to do your own since there're some error in this map.
My own map : https://www.fichier-rar.fr/2019/01/26/map-3x3-by-zoro/map-3x3-by-zoro.rar

 

4. Servers Configuration

4.1 Configuration files and map

Extract my own map in A:\AtlasServer\ShooterGame then extract the rar Saved (you can find it at the start of this tutorial) in A:\AtlasServer\ShooterGame\Saved .

Note : All the config files in the saved directory is from my own server, so you will have to modify it, specially the Game.ini and the GameUserSettings.ini for EACH server. Be carefull, the server A2 is the Freeport on my map, so the Game.ini is not the same as the other. Also the GameUserSettings.ini is different for each server (the RCON Port and the server name change)

 

4.2 Redis
You will need to change the redis password.
To do it, go to the file A:\AtlasServer\AtlasTools\RedisDatabase\redis.conf and search requirepass : http://prntscr.com/mckfrq and put the same password you did in the  3. Map Creation -> 3.1 Project Creation -> New Database Settings. You can also find the password in the file A:\AtlasServer\ShooterGame\ServerGrid.ServerOnly.json at the bottom.

Note : There's a know bug where the password reset to the default password sometimes, so think about that if you have an error when launching Redis.

 

5.Launcher Configuration
 

There we go, now we will create all the script you need to run the server.

5.1 Start and Stop

First, you will create a folder named Servers in A:\Launcher then you will create a file Servers.csv in this folder and put  this code in it https://pastebin.com/x2BHSxFS. So your file must be in A:\Launcher\Servers\Servers.csv.
This list will be used to start all the server and broadcast a message to all server with McRCON.

 

Now you will create a file called start_all_servers.ps1 in A:\Launcher\Servers and put this code in it : https://pastebin.com/JTqvV98u

You will need to modify the IP by your public IP at the beginning of the script : $IP="XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX".

You can also remove/add/modify this script to your need, like adding parameters to the start command etc.


Now you will create a file called stop_all_servers.ps1 in A:\Launcher\Servers and put this code in it : https://pastebin.com/iCkeKm99
This code simply close all processus called ShooterGameServer. So becarefull with this script if you also run an ARK server on the same server because the name is the same.

5.2 RCON

Create a folder named RCON in A:\Launcher then create a file named broadcast_all_servers.ps1 in A:\Launcher\RCON and put this code in it : https://pastebin.com/TpGg9DRD
Note : You need to specify your public IP and the RCON password, it's the same password used in GameUserSettings.ini : ServerAdminPassword=12345

Download this application https://sourceforge.net/projects/mcrcon/files/latest/download and extract only the mcrcon.exe in A:\McRCON . This tool is used to broadcast a message on a server with the RCON protocol.

 

5.3 Update

Create a folder named CRON in A:\Logs .
Now you will create a file called Cron_Update.ps1 in A:\Launcher and put this code in it : https://pastebin.com/4cFNiZL8
In this script, i have implemented a RCON broadcast message system to all server. 
The script will do the following step in the right order :

• Create a new log file
• Checking if there's an update for the game
• If there's an update the script will update the game else the script stop here
• If there's an update, the script will start to broadcast a RCON message to all servers to alert people that the server will restart in 10 minutes
• 5 minutes before the restart -> another RCON message
• 1 minute before the restart -> another RCON message
• The script call the other script A:\Launcher\Servers\stop_all_servers.ps1 to stop all servers
• The script call the other script A:\Launcher\Servers\start_all_servers.ps1 to start all servers

At each step there're logs written in the A:\Logs\CRON\$($Date)_Update_Log.txt file.

 

5.4 Save

Now we will create a script that will save the important files (specially the save of the game).
Create a file called Saved.ps1 in A:\Launcher and put this code in it : https://pastebin.com/80BFH55s
This script is documented so you can understand it it's not that hard. 

 

6. Windows CRON Configuration

Now we will add 2 tasks in the Task Manager in Windows. This task will be executed automatically by Windows at X hours.

6.1 CRON Update

Search in Windows Task Manager and open it. Now do a Right Click on it then Create a new task : http://prntscr.com/mcjq7d

General :
Name : Check_Update
Don't touch to others fields

Triggers (hope the transalation is good cause my server is in french ) it's the second tab anyway :
Click on New a the bottom then try to do the same as in this screenshot : http://prntscr.com/mcjrrr for the start date just let the today date.
For the hours of the strat date, put the hours you want but put at 30 minutes so the script will start every hour at X hour and 30minutes (it's very important)
Click OK.
 

Actions :
Click on New a the bottom then :
Action : Start a program
Programme/Script : powershell.exe
Add arguments : A:\Launcher\Cron_Update.ps1

Then click OK to validate the task and you should see it in the list now.
To resume, this task will execute the script A:\Launcher\Cron_Update.ps1 with the program powershell.exe every hour indefinitely.

6.2 CRON Save

Create a new task like you did just before.
 

General :
Name : Saved_Atlas
Don't touch to others fields

Triggers :
Click on New a the bottom then try to do the same as in this screenshot : http://prntscr.com/mcjz4m
For the hour of start put the hours you want but put at 15 minutes so the script will start every 30 minutes at  X hours and 15 minutes and X hours and 45 minutes. (it's very important)
Click OK.
 

Actions :
Click on New a the bottom then :
Action : Start a program
Programme/Script : powershell.exe
Add arguments : A:\Launcher\Saved.ps1

 

To explain you why i told you it was very important to put the minutes at 30 for the CRON Update task and at 15 minutes for the CRON Save task, it's because both tasks WON'T BE EXECUTED AT THE SAME TIME, so it won't overload the processor. 

 

7. Windows Firewall Configuration

I know most of you don't like this part, but it's so easy you won't believe it. 

To resume, we will create 2 rules one in UDP and the other in TCP and we will let the program (the server) handle it.

 

First, search in Windows Firewall and open it.
Now, at the right, click on New rule :

• Select Program
• Select the second option and put : A:\AtlasServer\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ShooterGameServer.exe
• Select Allow the connection
• Check only Private and Public
• Name : AtlasGame
• Validate OK

Now, Edit the rule and go to the tab Protocols and ports :

• Type of protocol : Select TCP

Click OK.

Add a  New rule :

• Select Program
• Select the second option and put : A:\AtlasServer\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ShooterGameServer.exe
• Select Allow the connection
• Check only Private and Public
• Name : AtlasGame
• Validate OK

Now, Edit the rule and go to the tab Protocols and ports :

• Type of protocol : Select UDP

That's all you need to do about the firewall.
Note : If you plan to buy the same server like i have from OVH (https://www.ovh.com/fr/serveurs_dedies/game/1901mc03.xml) you will need to disable the Firewall Game in the OVH interface -> IP -> Click on the 3 dots at the right -> Configure the game firewall -> Disable the game firewall

 

8. Bonus

8.1 Create a custom RCON message

We will create a script that will allow you to broadcast a custom message to all servers, can be usefull for various reason.

Create a directory Manual in A:\Launcher.
Create a file named Custom_RCON_Message.ps1 in A:\Launcher\Manual and put this code in it : https://pastebin.com/puPCW86K
Each time you want to use it, change the message in it and do a Right Click on the file then Execute with Powershell and the script will broadcast your message to all your servers. 

 

9. Run the server 

First you will need to run Redis, to do it run the file A:\AtlasServer\AtlasTools\RedisDatabase\redis-server_start.bat.

Redis must always be running before you start your servers.

Then you can run your servers with the script A:\Launcher\Servers\start_all_servers.ps1.

 

Now you have a server that will check for update/do the update and restart the server if needed and all that will be done automatically. 

I'm running an Atlas Server since 1 month and to be honest the servers crashed only 2 times, so it's more than acceptable. (compared to ARK at the beginning )
They also make a lot of server optimisations, I have gain around 30% less usage for my CPU and around 10% for the RAM usage.

 

This tutorial is over, i hope you will successfully configure your dedicated server and of course if you have any questions ask below and i will try to answer if i can.

I will probably modify it a lot in the next hours/days so don't hesitate to re-check it. 

 

Sorry if my english isn't the best but i'm  .

 

Thanks to my friend Neko who helped me to configure Windows and the Windows Firewall .

Hey,

I see a lot of people having issues to set up their server so i will try to provide the best tutorial to build your own dedicated server.

This tutorial will be on a 3x3 grids and based on this server from OVH : https://www.ovh.com/fr/serveurs_dedies/game/1901mc03.xml

I will also provide ALL powershell script that you need to run your servers.

Before, you will need the Server Grid Editor :
- https://github.com/GrapeshotGames/ServerGridEditor/archive/master.zip Extract it on your desktop for example.
- My own map : https://www.fichier-rar.fr/2019/01/26/map-3x3-by-zoro/map-3x3-by-zoro.rar
- Config files : https://www.fichier-rar.fr/2019/01/26/saved-1/saved.rar

1. Windows Configuration

- The first thing you will need to do is to setup a new partition, around 400 GO and call this partition with the letter A and the name Atlas (on a new disk or not, it's like you want).

- The second thing to do is to setup another partition, but this one will be a bit bigger like 1To or more if you can and call it with the letter S and the name Save (it's better to do it on a new disk). 
So if your Windows has a problem, all your saves and your servers won't be lost. I know most of you don't care about that , but it's very important. 

You should have something like that now :

 

In the A: Atlas partition, you will create an architecture (folders) like that:
- AtlasServer
- Launcher
- Logs
- McRCON
- SteamCMD

 

2. SteamCMD and Atlas Server Installation

 

Now, you will download this file called Installation_SteamCMD_and_AtlasServer.ps1 and put it in the Launcher folder : https://pastebin.com/SUqNtCrw (Don't forget to RENAME IT to Installation_SteamCMD_and_AtlasServer.ps1 without the .txt at the end.)

 

Now, you can do a right click and select Execute with Powershell. For your information, you should be verycarfull when you download and execute powershell/bash code from internet because it can't completly break your Windows.

This script will donwload and install Steamcmd in the folder SteamCMD and also donwload and install the Atlas dedicated server in the folder AtlasServer. 

 

3. Map Creation

This is a big part of the tutorial and probably one of the most important. So be carefull about what you will do and be sure to do step by step.

 

3.1 Project Creation

Open ServerGridEditor (You previously extracted it on your desktop) and select Create Project.

Complete like this :
Atlas ID : Let the software handle it, don't touch this.

Friendly Name : The name that will be display in the Atlas servers list.

Cells :

- X : 3

- Y : 3

CellSize : 1400000 IMPORTANT : Do not put more than this number or your map will be completely bugged. This is a Unreal Engine problem not an Atlas problem.
Column UTC Offset : 0,0

New Database Settings :

- Change the default password foobared by another password (put the same password everywhere) and also note it on a bloc note, you will need it later.

- Do not change the Port, the URL and the name of any Entry.

For all others parameters, let them empty.

Then press Create.

3.2 Islands Creation

To help you, there're some shortcut :

To add an island, just drag and drop the island from the list on the right to the correct grid. As you can imagine, you have many island and their name are not chinese name  but it's a convention.

Island Naming Convention
ISLANDTYPE_ISLANDSHAPE_CLIMATE_VARIANT
Example	Mnt_E_ET_B

 

There you will find each type of island with their Climate Type and also the island reserved for FreePorts. You will also find 9 island called XXXX_PVE, those island are also called Golden Age Ruin where there're boss on it (Dragon, Hydra) and also Fountain of Yourth.

Free Ports

I have found a bug with the ServerGridEditor that occur when :
You add a new island on your map, you export it and put it on your server. You start your server, the island work properly. BUT if you want to move the island again you will need to remove it and place it again on the grid because if you don't do that, the island will be completly bugged when you will re-launch your server with the new position. You won't be able to farm any ressources and have some collision bug with rocks etc.

3.3 Discovery Zone Creation

To create a discovery zone just press Shit + Left Click and expand it to do a square. To configure it also do a Shit + Left Click on the yellow square :

 

Zone Name = The name of the Discovery

Zone ID = ID of the discovery (The soft handle it directly)

Zone XYZ = height and width of the zone.

Zone XP = The XP obtened when a player find this Discovery Zone.

ExplorerNote = The index of the explorer note (more info to come)

Allow Sea = Check to allow the player to discover the discovery zone from the water (else he must go on the ground to discover it)

Also note, since v15.61 there's a server side parameter to configure how many point a player can gain per discovery : 
 

Game.ini:

[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]

MinPointsPerDiscoveryZone=3

 

3.4 Template Creation (Biome)

I highly recommend to use the default template from the official server. To find them open the file Projects/ServerGrid.json with another ServerGridEditor then Edit -> Edit Server Template -> Select a Template and click Edit. On your other ServerGridEditor, Click Edit -> Edit Server Template -> Add -> Then copie EVERYTHING you see in this window (Example with the Polar template) : 
 

As you can see, there're some parameters called ServerCustomDatas1, ServerCustomDatas2. In these fields you can set all these options (and maybe some others) :

ServerCustomDatas1:  

,DisableRain,ChanceForCold,NPCShipDifficultyMult,NPCShipDifficultyLerp,FloatsamQualityMultiplier,RainIntervalMultiplier,DisableFog,FogIntervalMultiplier,DisableClaimFlags,NPCShipNumMult,

ServerCustomDatas2 :  

,1,1,1.25,0.33,1.2,0.36,1,0.36,1,1,

There are 6 template on the official map: Polar, Temperate, Equatorial, Desert, Tropical, Tundra


3.5 Server Edition

To edit a server : Ctrl + Left Click on a grid :

Name : Name of the server
Template : The template of the server (biome)
IP : The public IP fo your server
Port : The port of your server
Game Port : The game port of your server
SeamlessDataPort : This is handled by the software, do not touch this, BUT verify that no other server has the same port.

As you can see with the red arrow, you may also add some configuration from the Game.ini directly in the server configuration, for example :
Key : bDontUseClaimFlags
Value : 1 (for true or 0 for false)

You can also overwrite the ServerCustomDatas 1 and 2 from the template you linked to the server.

You will need to edit all the servers and add at least an IP, Port, Game Port and verify the SeamlessDataPort.

 

3.6 Ship path

Press P on the map to create a Ship path :

To add a node, put your mouse over an existing node then press Num+ or Del to remove it. To change the path with the red circle, put your mouse over the node and press Right Click then move on the map while still pressing Right Click.
To edit the Ship path : Ctrl + Left Click :

There're 2 Ship path option : 
The Ghost Ship and the Trader Ship. 

Ghost Ship configuration :

• Path Name :  GhostShip
• AutoSpawnEveryUTCInterval : 21600
• AutoSpawnShipClass : Blueprint'/Game/Atlas/ShipPaths/PathFollowingGhostShip_BP.PathFollowingGhostShip_BP' 
• Loop around world : Loop around the node (not sure)
• Auto Spawn At First Node : Checked

Trader Ship configuration :

• Path Name :  NPCTrader1  (1 to 9)
• AutoSpawnEveryUTCInterval : 0
• Auto Spawn At First Node : Checked

3.7 Freeport

First you will need to add special freeport island to your server : (Up to 4 island MAX per freeport server)

Free Ports

Cay_H_WR_E

Cay_K_TR_E

Cay_J_EE_E

Mnt_A_WU_E

Mnt_F_ET_E

Mnt_J_WT_E

Mnt_L_CH_E

Mnt_O_CL

 

When you have added your 4 island, Edit the Server configuration (Ctrl + Left Click on the server grid) :

Check Home Server then Click on the Spawn Regions button then add this :

Name                   | Parent Cell

Northern Island  | 0,2

Eastern Island    | 0,2

Southern Island | 0,2

Western Island  | 0,2

The Parent Cell correspond to the grid X,Y Example, If you want to put your freeport in A1 than put 0,0.

3.8 Export

To export it, simply click Export then Local Export All. The files will be exported in the directory ServerGridEditor/Export.
You will have 2 files and 1 directory (for a 3x3 map) :
ServerGrid

• CellImg_0-1.jpg
• CellImg_0-2.jpg
• CellImg_1-0.jpg
• CellImg_1-1.jpg
• CellImg_1-2.jpg
• CellImg_2-0.jpg
• CellImg_2-1.jpg
• CellImg_2-2.jpg
• MapImg.jpg

ServerGrid.json
ServerGrid.ServerOnly.json

 

I have read many post about the map being black, and some people tell to rename those file into jpeg or to add an external link to the ServerGrid.json with the "MapImageURL": "" option, but most of the problems can be resolved simply by adding the PUBLIC IP to the paramater SeamlessIP in the launch start command. (I also got this problem so i know what i'm talking about )

Did you tried to delete the ocean.atlas file of this grid ? A:\AtlasServer\ShooterGame\Saved\A1_0-0\ocean.atlas

Do not delete the redis_atlasdb.rdb, it will delete all characters on your all servers and it won't delete any structure.

This line in your screenshot is totally normal. I don't see anything wrong here.

No difference for me.

I have a 9 server cluster for 5 players (just some friends and I)

It is running on my old games machine, a I7 4470K, onboard graphics and 8Gb DDR3 2400. With this config I could only get 7 servers to load (I wasn't surprised) and CPU usage seemed ok.

I splashed out and bought 32Gb of DDR3 1333 (I couldn't afford anything higher), all 9 servers load and run fine, when settled using about 15Gb with 3 of us on the same server. However, my CPU usage is now showing 100%, but oddly the game runs really smooth. I can even open Firefox with several tabs and the game still runs really nice.

Therefore, I am very confused, why such high CPU usage without the game being laggy?

 

I'm very suprised you can run 7 servers with only 8Gb DDR3. The screenshot i posted in my previous post was on a server with a Intel  i7-7700K OC and 64Go DDR4 2400 and i'm using 46% of the memory with only 6 servers.

Yeah i forgot to mention i have set this option to NetServerMaxTickRate=15.

5 PLayers connected on the screenshot.

Did you tried without BattlEye ?

Yes, They spawn in level 50 and can gain additional 80 levels. You can make it so they gain more levels as well, but i just chose 80

That's nice ! And what configuration did you changed please ?

On my server we have dinos that are level 130. I can go higher but I want to keep it balanced. They also spawn in level 50.

But when they are tamed, can you level up them ?

Also what configuration key /value did you changed please ?

Thanks for your reply.

Yeah so it's a bit bugged atm, i will wait till they fix that.

As far as i know, you can't do that.

I changed the port 27000 by 27020 and it continues without showing the map

Can you post the command generated by the software please ?
Most issues about the map grid are related to the SeamlessIP missing or missconfigured.

I posted a comment about that there : 

 

MNT_D_WF : Emerald

MNT_E_CP : Opal

Mnt_G_CH : Emerald

MNT_H_CP : Sunstone

MNT_N_ET : Ruby

MNT_Q_ER : Ruby

MNT_T_CP : Sunstone

MNT_Y_CP_D : Diamond

MNT_S_WT_PVE : Emerald

And probably some others

from the youtube tutorials it says you dont have to setup The redis just install and letsgo thats what i did can you be more spezific about what you say ?

Open the file ServerGrid.ServerOnly.json go to the bottom and make sure to change the passwords like below : (PUT THE SAME PASSWORD FOR ALL THE CONFIGURATION)
 

"DatabaseConnections": [
    {
      "Name": "Default",
      "URL": "127.0.0.1",
      "Port": 6379,
      "Password": "YOUR_PASSWORD"
    },
    {
      "Name": "TribeDB",
      "URL": "127.0.0.1",
      "Port": 6379,
      "Password": "YOUR_PASSWORD"
    },
    {
      "Name": "TravelDataDB",
      "URL": "127.0.0.1",
      "Port": 6379,
      "Password": "YOUR_PASSWORD"
    },
    {
      "Name": "TerritoryDB",
      "URL": "127.0.0.1",
      "Port": 6379,
      "Password": "YOUR_PASSWORD"
    },
    {
      "Name": "LogDB",
      "URL": "127.0.0.1",
      "Port": 6379,
      "Password": "YOUR_PASSWORD"
    }
  ]

DO NOT CHANGE anything else in it.

After that, go to A:\AtlasServer\AtlasTools\RedisDatabase\redis.conf and edit it. Search for requirepass you should have something like that :

put the SAME password you did in the ServerGrid.ServerOnly.json file then relaunch Redis and your servers.

I have a private 2x2 and everyones Maps work, just have blank treasure maps. I've tried everything to include the destroywilddinos, verified ports 0,0 57555 5755 27000, 0,1 57557 5757 27004, 1,0 57559 5759 27008, 1,1 57561 5761 27012. Also, I used the latest editor with JPG to creat this 2x2.

 

Any ideas or suggestion would be welcome.

 

Thanks!

Hey,

I got this problem too when i installed my server. And the problem was an IP not being configured correctly. 
Here is the command to launch one of all server :
start A:\AtlasServer\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ShooterGameServer.exe Ocean?ServerX=0?ServerY=2?AltSaveDirectoryName=A3_0-2?MaxPlayers=30?ReservedPlayerSlots=0?RCONEnabled=True?RCONPort=28330?QueryPort=28315?Port=28300?SeamlessIP=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX?ForceAllStructureLocking=true -log -server -NoBattlEye
In this command there's something very important, it's the SeamlessIP=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX option. You must  have it in your command and your MUST put the PUBLIC IP, not the internal IP (127.X.X.X).
Also, in your ServerGrid.json, for each grid you should have an option called "seamlessDataPort": XXXXX, the soft handle it directly you should do nothing about that, only control that the option is here for each grid and each port is UNIQUE for each grid. Basically the ports will be 27000, 27001, 27002 etc
 

About the images name, DO NOT CHANGE their name :

Hey,

First save the file C:\AtlasServer\AtlasTools\RedisDatabase\redis_atlasdb.rdb where you want, then delete it and relaunch your server, all the characters on your servers should be deleted.

I want to run a 3x3 with a bunch of friends and I was wondering what type of specs would you need to run it? We have a bunch of spare parts around but we only have ddr3 ram would that still work?

I have a server GAME-64-OC - Intel i7-7700K OC - 64GB DDR4 2400 MHz - Hybrid Soft RAID 2x450GB NVMe + 4To SATA from OVH, and i run perfectly a map in 3x2 (custom map made by me) with ~ 15/20 players on it. 
 

Here is the Task Manager from the server : (Only 2 players connected when i took the screenshot)

Hey,
For the first one, you can't do it ONLY for an isle.

For the second, i would like to know too. (It's 3 days actually for info)

Hey,

Actually the max level for a dino to be tamed is the level 30 (Can't tame higher than 30, tested and approved).

Does someone know a configuration option to change that ? @Jatheish

I have think about the DifficultyOffset option to up but i don't know if this option is implemented and if that will up the max level of 30.
