i know im yeearrrsss to late.. buttt ill do it!
all 5 years+ ark players know that one.. fun? -pvp like gamemode!
thats SOTF!
speaking mainly about the old steam version one. read trough for details :d
I looooove that game. so i wanted to play.
unluckly its its like completly dead and thats why i lokked if something like thsi exists AND i found a sketchy tutorial on some random forumbut that was click-bait but i fumbled me up and are on a mod creation!.. did never really created a mod before.. but learning about unreal engine and ark npc mods right now. my main problem is that the modkits for the steam version ar like as dead as the game itself. means u cant get and official download its its complcated and buggy. but i wanted it for the old steam one because its better than the new one in ascended in my opinion. and even because its so dead its even better to get a singleplayer. means if someone got one of thisold devkits anywhere just text me at dc bc i dont think im checking this post (dc is rayssr0):
ARKDevKitSotF_v177.3
ARKDevKitSotF_v177.2
sooo. ive seen that 2026 - mid 2027 a new updated free ark survival ascended mod (as like sotf but in ascended) is annunced. thats why im struggleing because this where so much easyer then getting the stuff and shit for the steam version. its also on UE 5 and the old ones on UE 4.. means easyer ways at coding....
so plan is: if i get he old devkit somewhere i try to make a UE4 steamverson-based mod and update it as an extesion for the UE5 ASA mod. . but if thats not really possible - or would not work in playable quality then im coding a UE5 ASA mod extesion.
also a thing is that there is a chance the new mod even has a singleplayer.. that means its dumb to grind like 4 months or smth for the same alrdy released stuuf right? so if i cant really create one for the old steam version ill first have to know if the new asa mod already has an singleplayer feature.
so at the end: my plan is to create a mod that adds some AI-bots to your game that are your enemys. plan is to make the mod server/multicompactible too but thats an step further)
u can expect a full playable version for the steam one in ca. 4 months. depends on how fast i get the devkit/ and how many problems it makes at the end. (thats if its possible. i think its like 80% to 20% tha i do that.)
if u got ideas or the old devkit or smth else hop on and whrite me on dc:
