Hi, I have a stranger question I can not figure out. I have a ARK server and I see when the server is started AMP reloads/generates the Game.ini and GameUserSettings.ini, and it take the saved config values from the GUI, I notice also though it doesnt touch all of the config lines only the ones theres a GUI option to set a value for. I was wondering where this data file is stored and if I can edit it?
Hi, AMP’s UI doesnt include all the configuration settings, some popular/essential ones like breeding & maturing are not included. Long story short I am having some issue with some settings not applying in game. I wanted to see if changing the default settings in AMP’s backend would force the server to take or have any effect.
In addition I was also looking to access it to have a way to copy and paste settings across servers. I am setting up a cluster for every ARK map, and while yes I could go through and manually set each setting for each server in the UI then edited the excluded ones by CLI. I was hoping I could just copy my Gami.ini and GameUserSettings.ini to each server and run with it. But because AMP regenerates those files on every server startup, theres no way to have the configs take by just copying those files to each server.
AMP doesn’t “regenerate” the files. It starts the server mainly with command line arguments, which ARK itself translates into the files in some cases. AMP also writes in a few settings. That’s it.
You can stop the server, edit the inis, then right-click and import so that AMP knows about what you have included. That will cover most of what is in AMP’s UI
Ahh okay makes sense, I appreciate the input, my problem must lie elsewhere. And I didn’t know about the “import” tab within the AMP GUI File Manager, that’s exactly what I was looking for additionally. Thank you!
