ForceAllStructureLocking ?!

[Commonwealth]

How does this command even work?

Game.ini
-or-
GameUserSettings.ini
?!


bForceAllStructureLocking=true
-or-
ForceAllStructureLocking=true
?!

How does this work ingame?
Fridges doesn´t have an option to "lock" or "get pin coded" ?!

Does it even work atm?

I´m not hating or something ...

just quick questioning (because i´m at work atm.) ;-)
sorry if it sounds rude.
no offense.

He said have it in your commandline.

Its the same if u r using UDP.

1) Not retroactive - need to remake and redo anything old to work
2) ?ForceAllStructureLocking=true - Put this into your cammandline
3) Erm, I dunno what it looks like ingame. Haven't gone in to check it out yet. I have a mini Giganto (1.5 yr old toddler) on me atm.

[Commonwealth]

need to REDO everything? Ò_o that´s strange ...

hmm ... why commandline ... i thought it would be the same as put it into the ini-files.

so i´m using the official server manager ... how do i change commandline there?
only used to before with batch-files ...

[Sutha]

Erm, wish I could help you with the server manager thing. But I do all my stuff manually (no manager or anything). I put the cammandline by editing the batch "serverstart.bat" file.

Please, answer, I don't want to replace everything, if it gets fixed. If it doesn't, I want to start replacing it as soon as possible.

Confirmed. It will not work retroactively.

That was the reply by Nubsly

Ok, if this is the right pic of the manager that I am looking at. It looks like there is a button beside (to the right) of additional args that says "Show Command..."

Under the Duration slider. I believe that's what your looking for.

I put these in my GameSettings and logged in. Everything that was considered to be a container was lock enabled. I did not check the fridges though.

BTW I did not have to replace anything at all.


[ServerSettings]
ForceAllStructureLocking=true
AutoDestroyOldStructuresMultiplier=1.0

This is how it is set up on my server.

But COULD you lock it? I heard that it WILL show they can be locked but they won't actually lock. (with the older structures).

I did not try to lock anything. I did log in to confirm the option was there. Soon as I got up this morning and saw the update, I updated my server but by the time it was done I was running a bit late in getting off to work so I logged out. However, I do have people on my server now and I will ask them it the containers are lockable.

[Sutha]

Ahh ok. Yeah, I heard it will show the option but it won't actually do it. I hope your right because I don't want to have to remake everything again lol. I'm server admin.....I can just spawn or spawn the structures for other people but, All that spawning is making me sick just thinking about it Q.Q .

[Commonwealth]

I think I got it.
this damn "b" in front of these commands ... some need a "b" some don´t.
I´ll check it if it´s retroactively or not.

@Sutha
nope, it´s the wrong app.
It was my mistake ... it´s called Ark Server Launcher (not Manager).

I knew about the other app but since you said manager, I went with that one lol. It's no biggie. I'll get in eventually. I was just curious as well. Cause I know the devs said it wasn't retroactive but a small hope in me hopes it's wrong XD.

[Rhonen]

Ok... I just had someone check to see if things are lockable on my server and they reported back to that they were NOT lockable. I also asked them to check the fridges and they were NOT lockable either. At this point I would wait for a patch to make all existing containers lockable without having to replace the items. If no patch comes out or if we get a Dev post telling us we need to recraft those items then we can do so. For some of us this will be an expensive undertaking.

[Rhonen]

I told my server not to replace anything for now until we have more information. If we do have to recraft all those items I will summon them for my players so they will not be put out so much. Some people have quite a few containers that are not easily replaced if you have several of them. Heck, when I logged in this morning after the update all 4 of my small pick-upable generators were missing. The electric lines and outlets were there but no generator. I will have "fun" tonight redoing my entire electrical grid.

[Sutha]

Yeah, That is what I planned to do for my ppl too. Fortunately. There's barely anyone on my server (private with just my husband and I and one friend). So it's easy for me. But my husband and I are hoarders in this game soooo....we have alot =.=

[Rhonen]

I hear you. My server has recently had a population explosion which is nice but it will take time I think to get with everyone to make sure all there old containers are replaced. I recently added a person to my whitelist so at least I will have help in replacing everyone's stuff if it comes down to that.
