Anyone know of a generator for a host havoc's game.ini files?

[Senkoau]

I bit the bullet and decided to just pay for a rented server/s for myself from host havoc and I'm trying to set them up currently. However a lot of the things I want need to be set up in the game.ini files on their site which is a text document rather than just checking yes/no/box like they are in a single player game. Things like multiple uses of the respec potion, different baby imprinting values, different matuartion times and so on. Some are in the knowledge base and others the command lines are I think here https://ark.gamepedia.com/Server_Configuration.

I've looked at a couple of youtube videos and I think I could manage to put something together if I need too. However I was wondering if there was anything like this https://ini.arkforum.de/ I could use to generate a properly set up game.ini file I could then copy and paste over?

[Housatonic]

ARK Server Manager also lets you generate .inis if you want, I believe. Where you're hosting your server doesn't impact your .ini files though.

[Valkyrie]

The server I use for playing around on has both options for tick box, or text config. I used to use the tick box, until I learned a bit more about the text.

Here is pretty much the base of my Game.ini, with a couple of things I added at the top.

You're welcome to copy and paste this and sift through to change things as you like.

[Senkoau]

Thanks, I'll see what I can do. I don't think host havoc has a gus file for me to edit just the first one looking at what you have in those scripts. I'll also try ark sever manager and see if it can generate something for me.

[Valkyrie]

A lot of the settings for customising your server are under gus.ini... I would be surprised if they didn't have anything for it.

[Senkoau]

They do and I've made use of them but there are others which aren't and a lot of those are the ones I want to change. Unlimited respec potions, different maturation/gestation times, higher values for imprinting, letting anyone cuddle/feed after that initial imprint and so on. Other things are in the GUS like harvest amount of cave building and I've modified those already. Since they have a checkbox/enter value system for that. The game.ini though is text only.

Speaking of which here is what I have I'd greatly appreciate a more experienced person taking the time to look over it for any mistakes/duplicated items please.

Seems fine to me.

Although you may find the cuddle interval to be a bit .... uh .... demanding? If I correctly remember which way that setting works.

Best way to learn is to try! Change and tinker, then go "Oh sh!t", and try to change things back.

[Harl Blabberhoof]

Keep also in mind that some options belong into the GameUserSettings.ini and some in the Game.ini (just as explained on the wiki page you linked before).
Settings in the wrong file won't work (and sometimes get deleted from that file by the server).

[Senkoau]

I double checked against host havocs game user ini and command line interface removing things in either of those like non permanent diseases (in the command line) or dino health recovery (in the game user settings). I hope I got them all.

Cuddle interval is short but I think it works based on having used it in single player. Its because of the faster maturization and also offset by the slower fall off after they tell you what they need, but if need be I'll adjust it. All of these are based on single player experience but I may have missed somethings.

Only two things I'd not found yet. First was how to raise max dino level to 150, which I think I'll get by changing override official from the default of 4 to 5 in the command line (or it'll all go horribly wrong). Second is increasing the quality of loot drops (supply and fishing) to 2 instead of one.

EDIT
There's probaby going to be a lot of things I need to adjust to get it right to be honest.

[Valkyrie]

The difficulty at 5 will give you lvl 150 dinos.

[Senkoau]

Excellent thank you.
