Color Event Overrides #1251

Open Worldgate opened 1 year ago

Worldgate commented 1 year ago

They added the ability to set your own 'color events' and i was trying to make settings for all of the old events so we can turn them on anytime we want. I'm not sure if im doing it right but if someone could point out my mistakes. This is included in the ark instance file in /etc/arkmanager/instances/main.cfg

ark_ActiveEventColors=custom
# Valentines Evo 2023
ark_DynamicColorset="Dark Lavender,Dark Magenta,Magenta,Dino Dark Purple,Dino Light Red,Deep Pink,Dark Red,Lemon Lime,Red,Actual Black"
arkopt_EventColorsChanceOverride=1

the last line is supposed to be a ? line in the server bootup but i dont know how to edit that and sometimes we might want to make it just 50/50.

arkopt_EventColorsChanceOverride=1

will add -EventColorsChanceOverride=1 to the server options. If it's supposed to be part of the server options string (the ? separated options), then it should be:

ark_EventColorsChanceOverride=1

If you're wanting it to be 50%, then you would want:

ark_EventColorsChanceOverride=0.5

The other settings are correct then?

The server configuration page https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration only mentions supporting those options in the dynamic config. I don't know if they're supported in the server options string or in the GameUserSettings.ini

I'm back, like covid the other day, anyways the active event information came from this.

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/PS_710.7

-activeevent=WinterWonderland ?EventColorsChanceOverride= (0-1, 1 being 100 percent)

Here is what i came up with. Still trying to figure out the manual color change but i kinda gave up on it and decided to go with the event enabling.

arkopt_ActiveEvent=FearEvolved ark_EventColorsChanceOverride=0.75
