Reclaim control of your server

The purpose of this mod it to gain control of the players connecting to your server. ARK has an exclusive join system that is unfortunately difficult to use, while it does prevent players from connecting to a server who are not on the list the actual list can not be easily be updated without human intervention.

Join Control will allow admins to setup and control who can connect via a web interface. An example being a web form for a Role Play server that allows players to join after completion. This is limited only by your imagination and technical ability.


This mod is not for every one, firstly it requires that you are able to set up a web server to handle and format JSON data. Setting this up or showing you how to do it is beyond the scope of this web page. You are on your own, google is your friend, although I have provided some example code in the Discussions.




When a player connects to the server it will send an HTTP GET request to the web server, like so:

Your web server will respond with some JSON like this:

The allowed field is the join control, 0 = Not Allowed and will be kicked, a 1 will allow the player to remain on the server.



Anything else. It does not impose any restrictions on how you receive and respond to the request other that the format of the HTTP requests and the JSON that is returned. You can use any web server, database or language you wish. But you already knew that right? If you didn't then this mod is not for you.




All interactions are recorded in the server log, the the full URL and variables in the request, and the received JSON to help with any setup issues you might have. The server should be run with this command line switch:


Example log output:


There are three settings, the URL (must NOT include the http://) and a Kick message. Finally a boolean for using of https or http.




You may if you wish use custom kick message for your players. The order for kick messages is the mod default of "You cannot pass" which can be overridden in the ini file. Finally you can add a special kick message in the JSON that will be used instead of the mod or ini message.
