TransferGuard is an AsaApi plugin and runs entirely on the server. Players install nothing. Install it on every map in the cluster.

Steps

  1. Stop the server.
  2. Place the plugin folder in the AsaApi plugins directory:
path
ShooterGame/Binaries/Win64/ArkApi/Plugins/TransferGuard/
  1. Set MapTag and ClusterDirectory for this map — see Configuration.
  2. Start the server.
  3. Check the ArkApi log. TransferGuard warns there if it has nothing to back up.

Where backups are kept

Backups are saved in a clusterbackups folder inside the plugin folder, one folder per player account.

Settings are read at startup

There is no reload command. After editing the configuration, restart the server. If a required setting is missing or invalid, TransferGuard does not start and the reason is written to the ArkApi log.
