I'll add this on the next poll

Hey guys, Due to our promise of keeping quality servers online without lag, to reduce the strain on our server so other servers can perform better we have disabled and removed from our server list Shigoislands. This decision was due to the server not being very popular and it was using quite a bit of resources (CPU/RAM) while idle. Now I have a question for you all, are you happy about this? We are looking to switch off another server, our bet is the volcano to save even more resources and keep things running a bit smoother. We are not getting a lot of people visiting the volcano and this is why I'm asking would you be happy if we removed it? What about new maps/ideas? We are playing around with the idea of a server that we bring a new map on every month that would have only 10 slots max and having it reset so users can try out new maps and if it becomes popular we can move it to a live server. This will be done in time. Please discuss this topic here, Thanks guys!

So ARK has granted us with its next major version. I'm going to split this update note in to three sections, JR Changes, Ragnarok Changes and ARK Changes. JR Changes: Limited Dino Population on every server by 35% to reduce CPU load. This will still spawn a lot of dinos, 20,000 in fact just right now there is too many everywhere. If this causes a problem we will change soon Disabled ShigoIslands. Unfortuntatley PVP didnt seem much of a hit at JR, Ragnarok is all the rage right now, Due to this we have temporarily disabled Shigoislands to save on resources. We may be looking at disabling the volcano as that is a very empty server too. Wild dino wipe on Ragnarok was needed on this update We are working on a auto update / restart maintenance system to release some stress from Jamie. Ragnarok Changes: -Added aloe plants for cactus sap in several areas -Reduced quality and quantity of Lava Golem loot -Fixed Lava golem exploit -Fixed Lava cave flier exploit -Fixed Ice Queen Spawn -Improved Ice Worm spawning methods -Slightly reduced Ice Worm speed to fix tunnel animation -Fixed over spawn of Squid -Fixed gap in world barrier -Swapped and added more rocks for Dunks to harvest (Metal/Stone/Flint) -Fixed streaming issues in ice dungeon and lava dungeon -Moved several supply drop points from popular building locations -Multitude of other bug fixes (Collision/Holes/Traps) (soon) -Forced Wyverns to spawn inside of trench -Fixed castle spawns and added IBL to basement -Fixed stray IBL in Glacier -Patched misc holes in meshes -Fixed several TP issues in Wyvern trench/Volcano tunnels -Verified all artifact crates are accessible -Fixed multiple reported issues (Holes/Collision/Foliage) Ark Changes: One Time Player Respec Applied To All Characters - New Item: Tek Tapejara Saddle! - New Skill: Crafting Skill!

Unofficial Servers and single-players can enable this feature to allow them to place structures that clip into terrain.

Okay guys, so I'm not going to sugar coat things, we had an issue last night. But when we have an issue Jamie doesnt stop till its sorted. I'd also like to personally apologise for the downtime last night. So what's the problem Jamie? Ragnarok/ARK was using tons of CPU, and when I say using tons of CPU, it was using 1 core of the 6 dedicated to ARK. Now you may think this wouldn't be a problem, but unfortunately with the amount of entities and things going on in the background 1 core used only can cause an issue with crashing. What did you find out ? Only 1 core was used out of 6 Coel was overspawning at 8000 entities, normal rate is 4000 Some other dinos seemed to over spawn too. That ARK server logs, suck big time and its very hard to trace what is going wrong. Solution? Every ARK server now uses all of the available server CPU (hopefully this doesnt cause any issues with other servers) Reduced Coel spawn rates on Ragnarok Reduced dino population by 25% on Ragnarok. Enabled some better logging, but it's not perfect. Some of the issues are also caused by Ragnaroks map, which should have an update soon to fix other problems we are having This should sort this issue, if not we are on hand to take over today and sort things. We are committed to giving all our players on all servers the best experience we can. Last night we were down for a total of 4 hours with ARK, this isn't normal and it won't be the norm. To provide you guys with a better experience I will be purchasing a new server very soon to more ARK to. If you'd like to help with the change please visit this page: https://jrnetwork.net/clients/donations/3-Help us get better gaming servers!/ I hope all our players understand if we have another issue that we will be on the case rather quickly to sort things out. Thanks, Jamie

I think that would be a decent solution, it at least means that players have to play the game properly before they can just upgrade things. I reckon that leaving it for end game / level 170 upwards?

CS: GO has just released a new update today. Please update your client if you would like to play! Update notes below from devs: This build contains significant changes in the game server and GOTV network delta packets processing to allow running two GOTV server instances with different delays, to allow correcting cameraman shots using a spectator connected to a small delay TV, and airing corrected shots on the longer delay TV. This client build is compatible with regular public 1.35.8.9 game servers. New settings for the game server: tv_delay1 allows to set a custom delay on TV1 server, with the developed scenario having TV1 delay be at least 3 seconds, and not more than TV0 delay configured with tv_delay setting. tv_allow_camera_man_steamid2 allows configuring an additional interactive caster account, with the developed scenario connecting the main caster as a live spectator on the game server directly, and the additional interactive caster connect to TV1 server with a small delay. tv_challenge_steam_iprange allows configuring a set of comma-separated IP ranges, clients connecting from those IP addresses will go through full Steam authentication even for GOTV connections, which is necessary for additional interactive caster authentication. New settings for the game client: cameraman_override setting controls when additional interactive caster camera is used to override the primary caster. Setting cameraman_override 1 on the additional interactive caster connected to TV1 will start overriding the primary interactive caster from the moment this setting is enabled in small delay TV timeline, and setting cameraman_override 0 will stop the override at the moment this command is issued in small delay TV timeline. With cameraman_override set to 1, the camera position of the additional interactive caster is transmitted to the TV1 server and overrides camera positions of the primary interactive caster. Consumers of TV0 GOTV data delayed enough for the overrides to take place will be receiving corrected camera positions. cl_cameraman_override_messages setting controls whether UI message is displayed in spectate panel to indicate that the camera override is taking place. UI message can be disabled by setting cl_cameraman_override_messages 0. Developed example scenario: Server is configured with tv_delay1 3 seconds, and tv_delay 10 seconds, both TV0 and TV1 servers are active and additional interactive caster account connected to TV1 server. Players X and Y on one team playing against players U and V on another team, players X and U go towards bombsite A, players Y and V go towards bombsite B. There’s no camera that main caster account can select to keep all players in view, so they select to broadcast POV of player X approaching bombsite A. When the round clock in the live game shows 0:56 player V unexpectedly eliminates player Y, and that action wasn’t observed by the main caster. At this point, our additional interactive caster connected to a 3 second delay server still has their round clock showing 0:59 and all players alive. Additional interactive caster switches their camera POV to player V to broadcast the shot and executes their bind to set cameraman_override 1. Alternatively additional interactive caster can switch to in-eye POV of player Y who is still alive at 0:59 but will be eliminated shortly and execute their bind to set cameraman_override 1. When TV1 round clock reaches 0:50, additional interactive caster may decide to relinquish broadcast control to the main live cameraman and should then execute their bind to set cameraman_override 0. Broadcast for viewers connected to the 10 seconds delayed TV0, broadcast for viewers watching GOTV+ HTTP stream from TV0, and the GOTV demo file recorded on TV0, will contain POV of player X until 0:59, then selected camera shot of player V eliminating player Y until 0:53, and then continued POV of player X. Neither GOTV broadcast, nor GOTV demo file, will have additional interactive caster’s SteamID recorded, and the data should be seamless on the client, just as if the main caster could have switched to different broadcast POVs at 0:59 and 0:53 round clock times. Alternatively, entire broadcast can be performed with the additional interactive caster on TV1 having cameraman_override 1, controlling camera POV all the time and never relinquishing control to the live interactive caster, while still being able to get information from live game either on the screen of live interactive caster or from game state integration data pushed from live interactive caster session. Keep in mind however that commentary sound is always recorded live from the main interactive caster voice channel and is not modified by additional interactive caster.

Since the last update half an hour ago we had a Failed to map mod error popup. This was an error caused due to Ragnarok removing the Lore Mod. You should now be able to connect! Any issues please contact me. Thanks

ACM our admin mod needed a update today, It's updated now and ready to go. In this update we have also removed Auto Torches as Structures Plus has this feature in and we didn't remove AutoTorches till now as some users were using them, We have decided to remove the mod now. If you were using AutoTorches please use the Structures Plus AutoTorch. That's it for tonight guys, Bed time for me!

I'm not sure how many hours Chris has played, I'm still new to the game. That shouldn't matter, we are experienced server admins, you don't need to be 100% on ARK and know every part about it to run a server. We are learning a lot as we move along. We want to keep the majority of our players happy so we can grow our userbase. The small mods that were voted for here, are small and they will not cause any lag or load to the server or clients due to the way they work. Right now it looks like only suicide potions will be added. And I do understand why now they are needed/wanted, people seem to get stuck in the map at random times and the only easy way (without adding a ton weight) carrying a foundation is killing them selves and going back to retrieve there stuff. All this is doing is adding a craftable item in game, which wont add any issue to the server since it doesn't spoil etc.It's like carrying a piece of wood etc.

Kasabian - Fire

Hey guys, We have just updated Personal Grave as it was giving users mod mismatch this morning, the servers should be accessible in the next few minutes. Ragnarok seems to have a update due today or tomorrow with the following fixes to the map: -Added aloe plants for cactus sap in several areas -Reduced quality and quantity of Lava Golem loot -Fixed Lava golem exploit -Fixed Lava cave flier exploit -Fixed Ice Queen Spawn -Improved Ice Worm spawning methods -Slightly reduced Ice Worm speed to fix tunnel animation -Fixed over spawn of Squid -Fixed gap in world barrier -Swapped and added more rocks for Dunks to harvest (Metal/Stone/Flint) -Fixed streaming issues in ice dungeon and lava dungeon -Moved several supply drop points from popular building locations -Multitude of other bug fixes (Collision/Holes/Traps) (soon) -Forced Wyverns to spawn inside of trench -Fixed castle spawns and added IBL to basement -Fixed stray IBL in Glacier -Patched misc holes in meshes -Fixed several TP issues in Wyvern trench/Volcano tunnels -Verified all artifact crates are accessible -Fixed multiple reported issues (Holes/Collision/Foliage)

We can def look in to this, but if we do reduce it, it wont be so much to affect peoples bases. - Jamie

We have a Item Stacker mod, As for meat spoiler that is been polled against at http://arkhub.jrnetwork.net/ Upgrade station was also suggested and is up for vote next poll. What XP potion mod? How far higher for the dino level? That would be debated about but I don't see any reason why not. - Jamie

I'd also like to know why suicide potions are wanted. Small mods like these though are so small they do not contribute any server load and only add a few KB of ram to clients.

Looks interesting, I'll put it on the next poll

This sounds interesting mate. We are currently working on a new system for ingame commands and more http://jrnetwork.net/gstore It could be possible that I add something like that there. What do you think? The other thing as well to note, JR Premium can be paid by JR Cash, (7000 cash roughly I believe)
