ClusterSync

Installation

Installing ClusterSync on each map in your cluster.

ClusterSync is an AsaApi plugin. Install it on every map that should be synchronized, and point them all at the same database.

Before you start

  • Two or more maps sharing a cluster.
  • A MySQL database every map can reach.
  • File access to each server, and the ability to restart it.

Steps

  1. Stop the server.
  2. Place the plugin folder in the AsaApi plugins directory:
path
ShooterGame/Binaries/Win64/ArkApi/Plugins/ClusterSync/
  1. Set the database connection and this map's MapTag — see Configuration.
  2. Start the server and confirm the plugin loads.
  3. Repeat on every other map, using the same database and a differentMapTag for each.

Install on every synchronized map

Maps without the plugin are not synchronized and will drift out of step.

Back up before installing

Take a backup of your save data before adding the plugin.

Verifying the install

Rename a tribe on one map and confirm the new name appears on another.
