Tutorial - How to setup an Ark server - GPortal Server Setup

wrong button hey how's it going everybody today I think what we're going to do is I'm going to show everybody how to set up a server on G portal and not just any server today we're working with the arc servers and stuff like that but through G portal you don't only have to go through with an arc server you can go with a Conan exile server minecraft servers atlas clusters all sorts of cool things either art PC servers are ps4 servers unfortunately they don't have our Xbox but yeah alright but also they've got a whole bunch of different ones they as new games come out they're always adding new games to it and then they'll have big advertisement pages right on the front that show you exactly which servers they're coming out but they're really good about having the servers ready the day that the game comes out it's really cool but today we're gonna be focused on a nark server and more specifically a nark abberation server because i'm my servers we're currently doing a playthrough where we do the story mode challenge as they go through and they progress they started the island and they went to scorched earth now we've got some groups that are actually going into aberration so now what better time to actually go in and show people how to set up a new server then when we actually need it so um what we're gonna be doing is setting up one server just with a few people we don't need to have a bunch but there's also one thing I think I need to cover before we jump into these things because as you can see I've got a whole bunch of servers now I've got over 200 people that go through and they play on all my servers it's quite a lot of people you notice that the amount of players on each of these servers it's not super high but um say if you have a group of like 10 people if they play at all times yes you do need a 10 person server but if you've got you know people in the UK we've got people in Africa you've got people in Austria you've got people in the United States you've got people up in Canada all sorts of different laces people down in Brazil they're not all gonna be on at the same time and if you've got a really big server you really don't need to have you know say like a hundred slots for a hundred people that's how it works matter-of-fact and the more people you have playing on a server the less slots you need kind of because or the less percentage of slots you need is what I should say I'm to be more precise because say if you have 15 players you need at least a 10 person maybe even a 12 slot server for that but if you were gonna set up a server for say like a hundred people and they're all around the world you really only need about 40 slots for that server because not all of those people are gonna be on at the same time not all those people are going to be super hyper focused on being in and playing all the time that's how that works if you're a make us server for a hundred people and then you you make a forty slot server and then you run out then these add about five more slots at a time just to see how everything goes everything like that that's how that works so technically on this thirty slot server that we've got right here and this right here will house probably about fifty maybe sixty players at one time going through all the time sometimes it can get up to about seventy seventy-five because those thirty slots this is just active slots people currently logged in at the time yeah that's how that works all right so let's jump into creating this server and let's figure this out all right so the first thing that you want to do when you log into G portal you'll be presented with this page this is the G portal homepage once you're logged into your account alright and you'll have my servers you'll have settings you'll have a recharge credit so you can recharge all your funding for when it automatically gets paid every month and then you have support G portal support top notch there is really good stuff all right um there this right here is their game servers creator bundles they've got a bunch of cool stuff and then we've got the forum in the wiki just in case you have different questions about setting up servers different problems with the servers yeah it's it if you go to the forum you can't find your problem on a server all you have to do is submit a ticket trust me they're really good Anthony and Brad the kick-butt all right so let's get to the point and swear I'll stop rambling and that's just add a server so from there you go and you click my servers and then you go down right here and then down here at the bottom of the my servers page it'll list all the servers on the left-hand side on that you have and then also whichever game cloud that you have I've got I'm one on the u.s. West one on the US East those ones really don't matter and I will cover some more of that possibly later all right but from there all you do is go down you click this ad server button and then as soon as you add the server it'll come up and it'll ask you what I'm kind of server you want to add and you need to pay very close attention to either the ps4 or just the regular now the ps4 that's a ps4 server so we don't want to open up a ps4 server right now we want to open up a PC server so let's click in to this right here all you do is go up you choose your I've got 10 slots available BAM let's go with that your order is complete you will be redirected in a few seconds all right so now we get into like this and then we've got a whole list of all of our servers now this one right here it's a bit confusing there's another couple servers where you can go there nother couple ones but since we've got this like this let's just go BAM click back on my sir all right so once that you select once that you click the server and you buy the server it'll immediately take you to this screen or a screen that has all the different icons coming out it's one of the two sometimes geoportal kids aside but they're moved they're transitioning to this screen so where if you see this screen it's normal all right now I'm once that you buy the server it'll install the server sometimes it takes a little bit I actually brought you guys back after and installed it just let it sit there will be a little bar that goes up the side and then once that's done you'll be presented with this now all you do is just click into this and then this is your server so now that you've got this this will be the main page it'll tell you how much CPU and how much RAM is allocated to your server but right now none of that will actually be running because the server is offline all right so now before we even turn the server on we want to click in we want to go to basic settings and now we're gonna go like this um you start out with server name now from server name you can name it whatever you want I'm just gonna go with there we go story mode challenge aberration now you go down now there's the number of slots now from here if you have more slots available you can actually change that on the fly right there and we're gonna go through we're gonna select whichever map we want to go with we go with aberration as soon as we select the map you want to immediately save it and then you want to turn it on because there's a few different things that is going to have to update to your server um and then while this is turning on its gonna cycle it's gonna install the aberration map it's gonna do the initial spawn of dinos but don't worry about it once you have everything going once the server is completely up and going you're gonna want to shut it back off and then go back through and start making the rest of your little changes so after everything cycled I'll bring you guys back and I'll show you talk to in a minute alright and we're back and the server is ready to go and of course my voice is cracking cuz it's early in the morning and I still need copy hold on what's that hmm okay so now that everything's going now you want to do is just turn this off and then a lot of times when you're setting up a server a lot of people if it's your first time server they'll be like hey the server's online its ready to jump up no they're not you still have a few more things to do so don't get a bunch of people onto your server while you're doing this because you're gonna be turning on and off your server a bunch as soon as it first starts like this all right so now now that we've got the name and of course you know I realize that after correct after special consideration from one of my admins they realized I was naming it wrong and instruct in informed me of the proper naming procedure so there it is Foo Fighters complete aberration alright so now we go down and then from here and you can either set up a server password I'm an admin password a spectator password but for now um we really don't want to mess with that because I actually used the whitelist system and I'll show you guys how to use that as well but if you want a password to Jordan your server right here's where you put it in and it can be anything that you want you could type in her jibbety and is yeah but just remember that every time somebody logs into your server they have to type it out sometimes sir jibbety can't be the easiest thing to type all right and then the admin password this right here is exactly the same thing but it's a it enables your people that you have on the server to use admin abilities they have to type it in in on the server every single time all right same thing with the spectator password now the Oh set a password for spectators kick idle players after X seconds this right here is just for afk people stuff like that and I'm scrolling down here let's go to a message of the day the message everybody gets um when at the moment they log into the server I always set up something you know I try to go with a little bit of humor for each time um it's usually overridden by a couple of my admins but I try to squeak in what I can eventually and then it'll slow they get changed over time and then we'll go with like let's see you you all right there we go and he'll see that and he'll eventually change it he always does all right so and then now we go down to scroll down a little bit and then the duration moded moated demoted actually is message of the day and then this displays it for 20 seconds the moment somebody logs in right now we go down for the white list where it says white list right here that's not what I use for my white list so the white list is not the white list which is the white list which isn't the white list so it's not used for the white list and I'm gonna go cross-eyed if I continue with that but we're just not gonna be discussing this white list section because I don't use that for my white lists all right so admin access this right here is whenever um somebody with you post to somebody's steam ID in here whenever somebody logs on your server if their steam ID is inside this little section right here this one right here they will have instant admin access they do not have to add put in the admin password at all all right now the band list if somebody seemed ideas in here they are not allowed access to your server the moment they try to join it they'll immediately be booted okay now what how I use my whitelist I use the exclusive join section right here so I'm gonna click that and turn that on and then I go through and I paste every single one of the of the steam ID 64 400 all of my patrons inside this spot right here and this allows everybody to join the server without inputting a password without anything and then if you don't have an steam ID on this you will not be able to join at all yeah all right so let's lower that down now I'm some of these other ones we're gonna be browsing we're gonna be going through really quickly and just kind of glossing over some of the things cuz there's a lot of settings here all right so uh let's see server game log not necessary activate battle I sometimes it's best turned off applet and activated back sometimes pretty best now active event now you'll also notice that a lot of the stuff in here is you might think it's misspelled it's not really misspelled it's in German all right so um because gee portal is actually a German company and they're still in the process of translating a bunch of the stuff coming over to the states it's okay matter of fact I actually kind of enjoyed a little bit all right so now I'm from here the active event you can turn on any of the different events that are active in arc just remember that once it's going you have to come back in later and then manually turn it back off all right so now um let's go down to a few more and notify admin commands in chat this is whenever an admin uses an admin ability it will blast it through chat and it will tell everybody on the server and big bold yellow lettering that an admin command was used it's actually really good if you're on PvP servers and stuff like that it's really cool alright now broadcast messages these right here are whenever used to restart your server or shut down your server it will display a warning so you can set it for 10 minutes you can setup it 5 minutes 3 minutes 2 minutes 1 minute all the way down to one second and then you can put in a separate message you can have a list of five different ones say if we want in ten minutes it's going to shut down we will go with there we go we can do that and then all you do is just click Add and that will put that down here and then you can go through and you can select another one for five minutes and then you can put in another one just like that so where you have a five minute you have a ten minute you go all the way down to one second on that it's pretty cool all right so now in the Travel section now we get into how to cluster your servers how to allow access to dinosaurs being uploaded downloaded characters being uploaded downloaded items being uploaded downloaded all sorts of different uploading and downloading features all right so if you activate the travel this right here it allows people to transfer onto your server all right and then you go down and if you want to combine this with another server if you want to cluster it this is the cluster ID that you have to paste in to the other server but you can change this the cluster ID can be anything you want once again it can be her jibbety if you want and I just have to make sure that the other server has the exact same virginity with the exact same spelling in that one and then that will connect the two servers through gee portal it's pretty cool all right so then we go down to prevent download survivors download items download dinos prevent upload survivors prevent upload items upload dinos this right here will stop people from being able to transfer this type of item into and out of your server but also there's another very important one this right here is the one that I like to stress the most no transfer from filtering distance right here means that if it is not on your cluster it's not getting in so somebody from single-player can't raise a level 10 million t-rex and upload it to your server and start going around and demolishing everything yeah so I always have no transfer from filtering active on all my servers alright and then the cross arc allow foreign Dino downloads this right here allows you know not an aberration it's it's exactly what it says a lot of this stuff and have all the descriptions down below right now going into gameplay how to set up all the different little things for gameplay we're gonna be glossing through a lot of this because a lot of it is kind of self-explanatory but say like a loud third-person for your for your server this allows people to just zoom out so where they're not always in first person then server PvE this is one we're probably gonna be discussing just a little bit matter of fact we're gonna be discussing them actually hold on prepare yourself we're about to be discussing the difference between be PvE and PvP alright so now that you've fully prepared yourself grab some coffee held onto your butt alright the differences between PvP and PvE I always run PvP servers because it allows you to do picking up with dinos it allows you to carry things with an argent without having to engage it and allows people to shoot other people in the face with tranq darts it allows a whole bunch of stuff now on my servers everybody's in one tribe so where the PvP aspect really isn't a big deal but it still allows for a lot of mushy be as fun it's really cool now if you turn on PvE you're not allowed to pick up dinos unless you are designated in here you're not allowed to shoot people in the face you're not allowed to build in some places there's a whole bunch of different things that is active when the servers on PvE mode but that's why I just I don't even worry about it I just keep it on PvP it doesn't activate any of this stuff and then I go through and then everybody has a bunch of fun shooting everybody else in the face with train starts it's really cool alright so now we go down to on the next one that I really want to come cover the server hardcore unless if you really want a massive hardcore server don't turn that on this enables iron mode for our Ironman mode on all your servers which means that once you die you have to create a new character yeah I I never ever turn that on alright and then let's gloss down to a few more things because a bunch of this stuff is really kind of not necessary and then I'll disable friendly fired now we need those strength darts to the face and but another one that we need to go through let's see scroll down as admin login global voice chat proximity voice chat now keep scrolling and then oh I don't like being notified every single time somebody logs on logs off the server I show player map location this shows your location on the map difficulty offset I always go 1.0 on this right now I always in this right here the difficulty offset 1.0 that just um tells it to go to the maximum difficulty that it's allowed alright but if you go with the if say if you like one level 180 dinosaurs you need to go over what's normal so that's within the override official difficulty and then everything on art is a it's a multiple it's multiplicative of 30 all right so if you have your difficulty at um was it's uh override difficulty one put your max level dinos at level 30 overwrite difficulty to put some a sixty over right difficulty three puts them at 90 and then 120 and then 150 and then 180 and then 210 and 240 270 300 yeah but for this one right here we're just going with difficulty five that means that all the dinosaurs are in levels are in increments of five going all the way up so we're in they cap out at the multiplicative of 30 it will put them at at 150 yes hopefully I didn't lose everybody on that I'm sorry but yeah a 5.0 puts max levels at 150 okay and then we go down through a bunch of this little stuff Laur flyer carrying we don't need to turn that on because we're a pvp server so we already have that on now enable PvP gamma turning that off because we don't want that on there all right disable PvE gamma okay and then on the day/night cycles sometimes you can change these just remember that the lower number is the better um and I'll give you a a slight little bit here because on souling the arc I actually go like this or everything that right there is the settings that I use for soloing New York so where you have a really really fast night time and a longer day and your days are actually twice as long so I have a bunch of recording time but on the regular servers we just go like this for the most part but sometimes we will actually do the soloing the art server settings yes and then also if you're on big servers like ours you need to have a max really high max level of dinos it's important all right and then let's scroll down a little bit PvE disabled friendly fire disable PV sign okay dunno DK I know let's just keep scrolling down until there's a feeling that we need to change see no we don't want to disable imprint Dino buff you oh no we want that one on and not that one on all right ah let's see override structure platform prevention this is all I know that's not the correct one let's keep going down got a refeeding allow hitmarkers server crosshair we definitely need that on scrolling be used corpse locator that's a good one all right disabled structure placement collision this one right here is the important one this is the one that allows all your stuff to have to be able to snap into the of the framework of the map so if you don't have this checked you're gonna have the original snapping points of art but if you have this check if you turn that on you're gonna be able to build some really cool stuff you're gonna be able to have ramps to go into the ground foundations that you can kind of slide under the ground stuff like that it allows a really good building so let's go with that you single-player settings this right here basically gives everybody superpowers I don't like to have that turned on all right let's see keep going down and then from here you can go through you can fiddle with all sorts of stuff you can disable the weather fog you can make random supply crates be careful though with this random supply crates one because it will actually make your supply crates completely random a lot of times they'll just go into the the ground and you can't get them right let's see keep going down restrictions and the and then also a lot of times on this like max number of players in tribes zero the zero actually turns this function off say if you want people with small tribes only three people tribes you can put three in there is the max amount of people in the tribe but by putting zero it allows you to have as unlimited amount all right let's see you use optimized harvesting health creative mode all right so now we're getting down into the nitty-gritty this is the fine-tuning stuff of the the arc server is all these stuff that's in the Advanced section so now we're gonna get down in here most of this stuff we actually keep on one for the dyno damage multiplier the player resistance multiplier if anybody's ever logged into a single player they know where all these settings came from they've pulled right from the single player so where you can fine-tune everything but how we always do this we go through and we slowly increase everything pretty much it's about the same as what we use on soloing the art and then let's see uh harvest about multiplier this right here is the amount that you could harvest somewhere at we're at two times Taming speed multiplier we tame at four times see keep scrolling down I encourage you to go through and then take very close attention to all of this now there's way too many different bits in here for me to cover each and every one and keep the video below an hour so I'm not I'm just gonna gloss over a bunch of these but if you're setting up your server for the first time go through here if you have any questions I have a link to my discord down below lots of cool people in there means the me included that will answer any questions that you have about setting up these things got a lot of cool people in there everybody is really helpful trust me um and then let's see meeting interval multiplier we actually have specific settings for these I'm gonna have to look them up give me one sec alright so my lovely companion Vanessa ryodan is wearing your little bike right wait should I wave my hands and yes yes your hands that show the buddy just be like oh yes I have your maybe interval multiplier right here hey okay so what is it man mating interval multiplier is 0.1 what's next at hatch speed egg hatch speed is 30 okay baby mature speed fifty-fifty okay and then now there's another one that we have to go down to it's cuddle imprint let me find it baby cuddle interval multiplier there we go okay and that is zero point zero two three two right correct all right everybody give a round of applause for Vanessa iota as she skirts yourself up stop kidding thanks red I can subscribe all right and then another thing that Ryan was telling me about is we need to go back up to max personal tame dinos see it's back up here yeah this one right here this needs to be the same number that we set for the max team dinos which right here is 10,000 so let's go with that come down here and then let's set this to 10,000 that's because in on my servers everybody's in one big tribe so the max personal team it's the amount of dinos that can actually be tamed in the tribe so we go with 10,000 it's a lot of Dinos we usually have a lot of dieters running around on the servers it's really cool all right so let's scroll all the way down I think we've got most of this stuff done there's some stuff that we want to go and add to the ini file and we'll do that here really quick or I'll show you guys how to access that I'm in the ini file but for the most part we're done with this section unless we want to do a little bit more tweaking I encourage you if you want to have some wild server go through here set it to however you want it's really cool the way I set it up is just how I do my servers so yeah alright experiment explore and have fun alright now that we're done with this section we'll click Save and then from here we go into configuration files now this right here gets into the real nuts and bolts of the server from here we can go through select a configuration file you have access to the the banlist the exclusive join list the players no join checklist the game to I and I the game times user settings I and I and then from here we also have a bunch of cool little stuff we've got the our presets that we've already have our node this is the primitive scorched-earth game to ia and the primitive plus the island I forgot that's not our presets we already have we have those in the discord if you want those come get them we have stack sizes all sorts of cool stuff but if you want to change anything on the game to ini the game user settings this is where you go to all you do is go to it you select it and then it'll pop open all the settings in your game - I and I and then you can go through and then you can make the little changes don't forget once you're done you click Save alright now that we've got that let's go back to settings and let's turn this sucker on because our server is just about done now that we have the server turned on and ready to go we um I want to make sure that everything has everything on it but now that we've got that turned on we've got that cycled now we're going to jump into the very last part which is mods all right so now that we've got the server cycle that we've got to back up and going every time you do changes through your server I encourage you turn it on and then turn it back off and then do the rest of your changes that you need to do while the server's turned off you can do a bunch of them once turned on but if you have players on there and you click Save it's gonna immediately restart that server and it's gonna boot everybody that's on there which makes a very uncomfortable situation for everybody trust thee yeah I've got a lot of experience doing this right so now I'm we're gonna do mods let's go into mods and then from here you've got all sorts of different lists that you can go through but you need to know the specific name for the mod that you want so if you am say that we wanted to use road and what mods are using currently on the on the server's the first one you should look for is item finder okay there we go I've got on my drop-down BAM submit that all right install that and then if the server if the mod hasn't been updated in a long time you'll always see this mod may be too old and no longer compatible um sometimes you need to pay attention that sometimes you don't all just depends on how long it's been since to serve this since the mod was updated all right so let's activate that one what's the next one around the next one is Rp visual story every go almost like I've served for and search for these before almost I know right all right next one the last is eCos RP decor there we go all right submit that one so now that we've got these on here all we do is just activate all of them and then you'll get this little pop-up there are changes or updates to your mods you have to restart your server to apply them so let's do that right now let's turn this off oh wait the server is stopping on its own all right so we'll let the server's stop on its own and then once it stopped we'll restart it and then I'll bring you guys back all right and we're back and now that we've got the server completely up and going we've got the mods installed now we just need to update the mods now all we have to do is click restart and then voila then as soon as the server comes back up we'll be ready to get some people on we'll be able to get some people ready to play having fun enjoying their time on the server it is actually really cool all right so anyway that's gonna do it for the video I hope this helps you setup the I'll figure out how to set up a server via the G portal and also a lot of these settings matter of fact most of the settings go through just about every single server provider it's just their UI is different alright so hey if you liked the video make sure you click that like button I really appreciate that if you're new around here subscribe and until next time this is flinger foo and take it easy everybody and good luck setting up your server like I said again want to reiterate if you have any questions coming to discord link is down below take it easy everybody
