Point of note: I have tried an alternate set of parameters.

/Game/Mods/479929837/PieLand?listen?ModId=479929837?Multihome=***?Port=***?QueryPort=***?SessionName=Paladin | SurvivalServers.com?MaxPlayers=30?listen?ServerAdminPassword=***?AllowThirdPersonPlayer=true?NoTributeDownloads=true?MapPlayerLocation=True?DifficultyOffset=0.3?AutoSavePeriodMinutes=30?NightTimeSpeedScale=2?XPMultiplier=2.000000?TamingSpeedMultiplier=2?ServerPassword=?AltSaveDirectoryName=SavedArk6883?

After attempting to start up for 6 hours, the server failed to start whatsoever with this version.

First of all, as a suggestion i would say it is easier/less potential for problems if you were to take some of this stuff out of your command line and configure it in the GameUserSettings.ini file instead.

Such as the "Session Name" which btw I think may be causing a problem for your command line as the "|" character is not a friendly character. In many programming languages the Bar "|" character signifies "OR" or.. "STOP" or can cause the engine to not interpret anything after that character.

It is best to have all your modifiers for things like xp, taming speed, difficulty offset, etc etc in the config ini file instead. allows for a much cleaner/shorter startup command.

ANYWAY take a look at what i am doing and compare it to yours but essentially you can cut it down to this


"/Game/Mods/479929837/PieLand?Listen?ModId=479929837?MaxPlayers=30?MultiHome=ipaddresshereofcourse?Port=porthere?QueryPort=usuallysameasotherport?ServerAdminPassword=passwordhere?RCONEnabled=True?RCONPort=yourRCONport"

As a rough quess for how yours SHOULD be.. you could try this

"/Game/Mods/479929837/PieLand?Listen?ModId=479929837?MaxPlayers=30?Multihome=***?Port=***?QueryPort=***?ServerAdminPassword=***?AltSaveDirectoryName=SavedArk6883"

when using this mod you must specify PieLand as the map. If you see anywhere in your command line TheIsland.. take it out. This mods map is like a WRAPPER of the normal map. PieLand really just loads TheIsland AND PieLand at the same time

The issue with the "|" is that it is required by the server provider. If I removed it, then I would be debranding the server thus may be revoked of being able to use the server. As far as removing all of the extra parameters, I could totally do that as, from experience, removing them does nothing. It's pretty much saved once it is implemented. Which is nice. I will try your recommendation and get back to you.

Oh yes i understand that fact. And you can still keep the | symbol.. i know when you set the server name via the INI files instead then you just simply need to put quotes around your servers name and it knows to treat that character as text. however there is no way to do that in the commandline version

When a setting is set via the INI files.. it takes priority over the command line options anyway i believe.

so something like..

SessionName="Paladin | SurvivalServers.com"

Your set of parameters causes the same issue. I have attempted to try and change "/Game/Mods/479929837/PieLand" to "/ShooterGame/Content/Mods/479929837/PieLand". It took me one step further in the process; however, never became joinable. The control panel kept saying that it was loading the entirety of the time.

Also, where does /Game/Mods/479.. lead to anyway? I don't see it anywhere in the directories for the server.

I had the same problem getting it to start on a Gameservers.com hosted server. Finally I got it to work with the following command line. Like stated above, alot of other commands you have, such as session name, taming speed, autosave time all got added to the GameUserSettings.ini file.

/Game/Mods/479929837/PieLand?listen?ModId=479929837?TheIsland?queryport=(Port Here)?port=(Port Here)?maxplayers=30 -Multihome=1(IP Here) -console

I've been able to see all colors and spawn / see the rares.

Feel free to msg me if you need more info on the .ini settings / how to add them into it

Yes it seems as though your issue is specific to your server host.. are you with Gameservers.com? alot of people seem to have issues with them. Everything is still possible.. just a bit of a unique approach

Im running a dedicated server and cannot get this to work. If I put PieLand as the map name it says the server starts up in 3 or 4 seconds (instead of the normal 230 to 280). I have the correct command line I literally changed it from the allcolorsmod which was working fine to this one and now I cant get it to work.

does this cause any loss of player saved data or map data at all?

Make sure you copy the mod to your servers mod folder. You also need to manually update it each time the mod is updated.

You can use it with existing saves. All old tamed dions stay and all new spawned dinos have the new colors. Only thing is new tamed dinos won't mate boost with old dinos.

and the mod wont update to 189.1

Is it possible to increase the limit of the spawned dinos?
