ArkBot wont open

Please make sure you have .NET 3.5 with service packs as well as .NET 4.7 or 4.8 installed. If you are still having issues, please install the multi .NET pack found here

Are non-local servers supported?

No. You need to be running ArkBot on your local machine running the game servers.

Are modded servers supported?

Many mods will work just fine. Mods that override blueprints for status/inventories/components/etc. could potentially interfere with savegame extraction. Such mods are not supported.

Do I need a web server?

No. The Web App and Web API are self-hosted using OWIN. Self-hosting is currently the only supported mode.

Can I use iframes?

No. You will break steam auth as steam detects it as a malicious attempt to hijack a users destination.

Can I change the style?

Yes and no. Style data (colors, background, etc) can be found in the WebApp folder in a file called styles.ae59495a46eb10dbb1ba.bundle.css. You can NOT edit the layout of the core WebApp unfortunately at this time.

Can I reload the config without restarting the application?

Generally no. accessControl and userRoles can be reloaded using Options -> Reload partial config.

Companion App (Web App)

What do the circle colors and size mean?

Red circles mean the structure data is older (more than 30 days) / a low value structure (like a campfire) and should be removed. Pink circles are active tribes structure assets. Size of the circle is retaliative to the area that particular tribe/players assets are placed.

Is there a built-in taming calculator?

No. There are many good ones already and the time required to build one is better spent on other features. Integrating an existing one with the Web App to make it easy to use from there might happen in the future.

Why is the online list not 100% accurate?

The player list is fetched from Steam APIs. The Steam Client will show the same inaccurate player list.

Discord Bot

Who can issue admin/RCON commands?

Discord users on the same server as the bot who are in the roles configured in discord.accessControl.
