Description

Include a summary of the change and which issue is fixed. Also, include relevant motivation and context. List any dependencies that are required for this change.

Around version 26.38 of the ARK Survival Ascended dedicated server, a number of command line launch arguments stopped working. For instance, although the the server name appeared in the command that launched the server, the server name would be set to "ARK #RANDOM-NUMBER". It appears that the launch args were no longer written into GameUserSettings.ini, so they were being set to default values.

Impacted env vars:

• ARK_SERVER_NAME
• ARK_ENABLE_RCON
• ARK_RCON_PORT
• ARK_MAX_PLAYERS
• ARK_SERVER_PASSWORD
• ARK_SERVER_ADMIN_PASSWORD
• ARK_ENABLE_PVE

To fix this a templating script was made to generate a GameUserSettings.ini before launch the server. The templating system injected the env vars values directly into the GameUserSettings.ini file and set the rest to reasonable defaults. This solution is just a quick fix, in the long term we want the entire GameUserSettings.ini to be configurable via env vars and to automatically update if they are changed. This process only runs during the initial server launch or if the ARK_REBUILD_CONFIG flag is set to True.
