    Why I play Ark

    Posted: 29 Mar 2019 07:09 AM PDT

    Just got back into Ark recently, pretty happy with my new base on a small unofficial server I've been playing on!

    Posted: 29 Mar 2019 09:07 AM PDT

    Redesigning an old base. Close, but not yet finished.

    Server spontaneously got together for alpha run. Had people out of 8-9 tribes. I got the artifacts, admins grabbed the apex trophies and we all brought our own gear/tames. Random tamed Pego made it in and survived lol.

    Actual Mesh Fix

    Posted: 28 Mar 2019 06:22 PM PDT

    Hello,

    ​

    I posted a potential fix for meshing on the forums at:

    https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/forums/topic/420636-actual-meshing-fix

    ​

    The fix is as follows:

    There is a concept called spatial partitioning. It is a simple concept. One subdivides ones world space into sections or voxels with a constant value that denotes the size of the sections or voxels. For instance, lets say I want my subdivision to be of size 5 and the size of my skybox or world is 20x20x20. The resulting spatial map is a triple array of a single bit [4][4][4]. The cost in memory is quite easy to compute N_1*N_2*N_3 * 1 where N is the dimension of the array. The bit is either 0 or 1 which can be assigned to the player's IsAlive bool. Lets say that all of my world is above the mesh except for the specific voxel [1][3][1]. We determine where the player is by converting the player's position to the voxel position. For example, lets say the player has a position of Vec3(15.389f,10.5678f,8.0f).

    ​

    int VoxelXPosition = (int)(15.389 / 5);

    int VoxelYPosition = (int)(10.5678f / 5);

    int VoxelZPosition = (int)(8.0f/5);

    ​

    If you a familiar with int casts from floats the decimal is dropped therefore the VoxelXPosition = 3, VoxelYPosition = 2, VoxelZPosition=1. One can access the bit value now with the VoxelPositions. I assume you have a bool that represents if the Player is alive or not so one can simply assigned the boolean to = the returned value from the array.

    ​

    PlayerIsAlive = (bool)Arr[VoxelXPosition][VoxelYPosition][VoxelZPosition];

    ​

    As you can see this is quite easy to do there is no increase in complexity in terms of run-time performance(No if statements no loops). The complexity is literally O(1). There is an overhead for the memory. If you are concerned with the overhead you can move all of this to a compute shader and use a binary image instead of a bit array. If you are having difficulty calculating the mesh's volume you can message me and I would be happy to lend a hand. I hope this gets traction and I hope you see this wildcard. I would love to play this game again.

    ​

    TLDR: Have a fix for meshing that should not impact performance. I would like to draw attention to it so wild card can fix their game.

    1 year ago, today. Found this on my snapchat memories today. From an old abberation tribe, wiped by meshers. none of these beautiful drakes survived. Yes this is on official. Yes ark is broken. #wildcardfixyourgame

    Ragnarok pve 1v1 war. Player vs Admin. Came close but admin pulled it off.

    Is ARK still viable for single player gameplay?

    Posted: 29 Mar 2019 09:26 AM PDT

    Seeing the new content that has been added to the game has had me asking:

    Would it be viable for me, someone who enjoys primarily solo play, to jump back in?

    I play on the Xbox One X. I have other people I could play with but I prefer solo for better connectivity and having my own settings (breeding, gathering, etc) to cut some of the grind.

    I used to be built up smugly on the Island and Abberation but I deleted all of my worlds after a harsh life event and I stopped playing ARK.

    I've only played on The Island and Abberation. I tried extinction but didn't like how weirdly empty it felt in certain areas. Before I quit I unlocked the other free maps (the center and ragnarok I think) and scorched earth.

    Any input would be appreciated. And if you have a server available on XBOX 1, and would be willing to let me play on it, I'd love to hear about it! I am PVE unless someone dinks with my stuff.

    Is it just me or are unofficial player created servers better to play than official servers just because most of the servers have admins who are pretty active and respond fairly quick to meshers and cheaters being on the servers

    Can a Nintendo Switch be used a dedicated server for other platforms?

    Posted: 29 Mar 2019 08:47 AM PDT

    Alright, let me dig in right away.

    I have an Xbox and so do all my friends. We want to try Ark multiplayer without the mess of having to go to public server with a mess of people.

    So, the natural thought was, how can we find a way to get a dedicated server? We know Ark is on the Nintendo Switch. As such, we are wondering how viable that would be and maybe some other ways to get a dedicated server.

    Is there any way to get sap other than tree sap taps?

    Posted: 29 Mar 2019 07:59 AM PDT

    Hey,

    If you are looking for a PVE PS4 server come try us out.

    Server Names Pangea (map name)

    Example Pangea Extinction

    We have 5x Taming 3x Harvesting and xp

    We have ALL the maps clustered

    All babies except the Giga mature between 2-4 hours, Giga takes around 8 hours

    These servers are prepaid for a year.

    We have some simple rules. 1. No kiting 2. No building around the beavers dams or blocking artifacts 3. No extreme pillaring or spiking or foundation spam 4. Respect each other 5. No leaving Dino's on mating when going offline

    We have a small community but they are very helpful.

    These servers are run by Nitrado hosted in Miami Florida

    The servers are watched over by two female admins Bunny and myself.

    What’s the secret to jumping, playing on an iPad?

    Posted: 29 Mar 2019 11:03 AM PDT

    I've tried swiping up from the middle, the bottom, on the left, and on the right, I'm obviously not doing something right. I read a post where someone said just swipe up from the middle, on the left side of the screen, but I just can't make my guy jump. It seems the only way to enter my hut, too. Any tips are greatly appreciated!

    I recently restarted playing, and I don’t understand half of the things that are going on. First I’m trying to do the boss and I can’t find the FlameKeeper artifact, and it seems like I can only spawn one type of boss per obelisk. Last time I played was at the engrams menu rework.Can someone helpme?
