I didn't see a recommendations or feature request forum. I apologize if this is not the right place for this.
Intended results
- Having a second or main map/server that each day has random different settings. Encouraging players (and even the map admin) to log in each day to see what advantages or challenges exist for that day.
Overview of concept
- Some settings can be flagged to randomize.
- Would require automatic restart to be enabled.
- After server is shutdown, but before it starts up, ASM randomizes/re-rolls the flagged settings and saves them to the ini.
- Server starts up as normal.
Some details of the concept
- The Randomize option wouldn't be available or all settings. Some settings may work well with this (xp gain, gather rate, wild dino damage, wild dino level, etc) and other settings may or will not (Ark map, max levels, events, etc)
- In ASM add a "Random" check box next to some settings.
- If box is checked Minimum and Maximum fields appear to allow admin to define what is and isn't acceptable.
Challenges/ideas
- It would be nice if the random setting value was weighted. For example a random value of 2x for gather rate is much more likely than a gather rate of 20x.
