Finding ARK PlayerID from 'ShowMyAdminManager'?

[ViperGeek]

Since replying to an old, useful thread is frowned upon ("necro", "necro", "necro"), I'd like to repeat my previously asked question again.

I currently understand how to:

1. Get SteamIDs for active players:

   ListPlayers

2. Get ARK PlayerID Numbers for a given TribeID ( How to find your Tribe or Player ID in ARK: Survival Evolved [nodecraft.com])
   
3. Get a list of active ARK PlayerID Names:

   ShowMyAdminManager

What I still seem to be missing is how to get a list of unaffiliated ARK PlayerID Numbers using any admin/cheat/console command. All roads lead to

ShowMyAdminManager

on the interwebs, but if the ARK PlayerID numbers are listed in the output, they don't show up on my 4K monitor.

Thanks for the enlightenment!

OK, I just found this screen cap of ShowMyAdminManager:

It shows three columns, including ARK PlayerID number. Why would my output only have the first two columns? Screen resolution?

I still can't get ShowMyAdminManager to show three columns in the CONNECTED PLAYERS section. I only see the player's name and Steam account name. However, I did find an awkward workaround.

1. As an admin, press <TAB>, and type ShowMyAdminManager
   
2. Select the player from the CONNECTED PLAYERS list
   
3. Click on any admin command in the CHEAT MANAGER list that requires a PlayerID (e.g. TeleportPlayerIDToMe) and press "EXCUTE" (yes, it's a typo)
   
4. Under ENTER FUNCTION PTERAMETERS (another typo), click the [COPY PLAYER ID] button. This will populate the input field with the ARK PlayerID!

From there, you can use the command you selected, or just copy out the PlayerID and call it a day.

Did you test by altering both your desktop and game resolution to something lower?
By memory that GUI hasnt been touched in donkey's years so might not support 4K.

Another alternative is to simply use rcon to query the player details.

Thanks for the reply! I did lower my resolution to 1920x1080, but still only saw the two columns in CONNECTED PLAYERS.

Which RCON command would show ARK PlayerIDs? 'ListPlayers' from the remote console only shows me the Steam IDs.

A quick search of the wiki found this.

GetPlayerIDForSteamID <SteamId>

Yeah, I found that too. Unfortunately, the notes say:

"Description: Bug: This command does not seem to work correctly, returning a different value than the one used in ShowMyAdminManager, and does not work for commands that require player ID."

If it worked, it would be the perfect command for my needs.

The rcon rool built into ASM works pretty good for getting player details. Though it might be querying the files directly.

Another way a willing player can tell you their ARK PlayerID is by reading the "Sample #" from their own Specimen Implant (the silver diamond thingy in their inventory).

Wow! Impressive:

I installed my five servers the old-fashioned way. Had I known about this, I may have tried it.

I still can't find an RCON command to list ARK PlayerID numbers, but if I ever rebuild my servers from scratch, I'll definitely give ARK Server Manager (ASM) a try.
