Dino Dossier: Leech

Common Name Leech
Species Haementeria laetus
Time Holocene
Diet Sanguinivore
Temperament Passive - Aggressive
Domestication
Tameable No
Rideable No
  • Wild: It is difficult to be angry with Haementeria laetus, despite its rather terrible nature. The creature has practically no intelligence, and just attaches to any nearby living flesh in an attempt to drain that creature's blood.

  • Domesticated: While Haementeria is not intelligent enough to be tamed, and does not provide a resource any tribe would need in large quantities, it is always useful to keep a few around for antidotes. When processed properly, Haementaria venom can be made into powerful antivenin!

  • Known Information: Removing Haementeria requires precision bladework, or access to an open flame. Both of these can be nearly as dangerous to the host as to the leech itself. Once Haementeria attaches to a host, it drains blood at a rapid pace, and the host experiences hunger, losses of health, and lowered stamina. Some Haementeria are also carriers for a dangerous disease I've dubbed 'Swamp Fever', which persists permanently beyond the leech's own lifespan. Few creatures on the island are transmitters for this disease, and it can ultimately be cured with a rare medicine.

ARK: Survival Evolved Patch 235.2 & 235.3 (DE and ES – Translation)

235.2

  • Added community German Translation
    Launch game with command argument:
    -culture=de

    (or use new Steam launch menu option)

235.3

Unversion Hotfix: Added community Spanish Translation by Neizan, IsCariote Youtuber and his team! Also updated the “Localization Manager” to have a “Update Archives from Manifest” button which allows you to update the latest localization strings from “English” into your selected language archives!.

  • BattlEye Anti-Cheat System!

    BattlEye Notes: The new executable to properly play on Official Servers is ShooterGame\Binaries\ShooterGame_BE.exe, which we’ve updated the Steam Launch options to include (if you launch ShooterGame.exe directly, you will be redirected to ShooterGame_BE.exe if you connect to any Official Server running BattlEye). If you wish to run your Unofficial Server with BattlEye, you can do so with -BattlEye (however, only functions with Windows servers currently). Note that BattlEye is currently not ready for Mac or Linus, so we have temporarily disabled the capability of Mac/Linux clients to connect to BattlEye servers. We hope to have this resolved within the coming few days. Thank you for your patience!

How to Localize ARK!

ARK supports now user-created localizations.

We want to show you how you can choose your language :

1. There is a new app in the folder:

\Tools\LocalizationManager\LocalizationManager.exe

Run it and then check the languages you want, afterwards click ArchiveFiles->XLS to generate an excel spreadsheet of all the localizations (this can take some minutes) “Completed” will show up on the status panel when it is finished.

Upload that XLS to Google Docs or another text-programm for easy group editing.

2. When you’re ready to reimport new localizations, click “XLS->Archive Files” and then choose your XLS, and it will import and integrate the localization data for the checked languages.

3. Finally, click “Generate Game Files From Archives” and it will actually prepare the corresponding shipping binary localization data for the checked languages for display in-game. (this “\ShooterGame\Content\Localization\Game\YOURLANGUAGE\ShooterGame.locres” binary file is what is actually used in-game for speed)

The localization files themselves are located here, in whatever language subfolder you want to specify:

“\ShooterGame\Content\Localization\Game\YOURLANGUAGE\”

There are no hardcoded language directory names, so whatever language subfolder name you want yours to be, you just then run the game with the following commandline:

\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ShooterGame.exe -culture=yourlanguage

(Ideally yourlanguage is the corresponding two-character language code from the standard here: http://www.lingoes.net/en/translator/langcode.htm )

For example, for Spanish (which we’ve not yet translated!):
\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ShooterGame.exe -culture=es

To distribute your localization, just zip up your Localization language’s subfolder and then be sure to tell your players where to extract it, namely into here:

“\ShooterGame\Content\Localization\Game\”
