HelicoprionBalance
Installation
Installing the plugin and confirming it loaded.
HelicoprionBalance is an AsaApi plugin and runs entirely on the server. Install it on every map where you want the rules applied.
Steps
- Stop the server. The plugin file is locked while it is running.
- Place the plugin folder in the AsaApi plugins directory:
path
ShooterGame/Binaries/Win64/ArkApi/Plugins/HelicoprionBalance/- Set your cap and messages — see Configuration.
- Start the server.
- Confirm the plugin loaded by running
HelicoprionBalance.Version, which also reports whether it is active or inert.
Defaults change nothing
The shipped defaults are vanilla behaviour: a 90% cap is the game's own ceiling, and level-up refusal has nothing to act on at that value. Nothing takes effect until you lower the cap.
Save configuration without a BOM
The config file must be plain UTF-8 with no byte order mark. Some editors and PowerShell's default encoding add one invisibly.
Updating
Stop the server, replace the plugin file, start it again. Configuration changes on their own do not need a restart — use HelicoprionBalance.Reload.
