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\”

Dino Dossier: Oncorhynchus – Sabertooth Salmon

Common Name  Sabertooth Salmon
Species Oncorhynchus Grexlamia
Time Miocene - Mid Pleistocene
Diet Carnivore
Temperament Evasive, Aggressive when attacked
Domestication
Tameable No
Rideable No

  • Wild: Fairly unremarkable by the Island’s standards, Oncorhynchus Grexlamia is a generally passive fish. Far smaller than a human, its main form of protection is swimming in a large school. Oncorhynchus does not like conflict, and generally swims away from anything larger than it at very high speeds.

  • Domesticated: Like many of the smaller fish found on or around the Island, Oncorhynchus can not be tamed, but it is often herded and raised for its resources. In particular, certain cuts of Oncorhynchus meat are considered superb quality, and are often referred to as “Prime Fish” used for specific high-end concoctions.

  • Known Information: Once provoked, however, Oncorhynchus becomes very aggressive along with its nearby brethren. It locks onto the aggressor with its long “saberteeth” and begins draining that creature’s blood. This loss of blood is not too dangerous alone, but when a school of Oncorhynchus attack at once, their would-be aggressor quickly loses speed and stamina from bloodloss, drowning if it cannot breath underwater.

Drops

  • Raw Meat
  • Prime Fish

Dino Dossier: Chalicotherium

Common Name: Chalicotherium
Species: Chalicotherium obsidioequus
Time: Late Oligocene - Early Pliocene
Diet: Herbivore
Temperament: Territorial
Domestication
Tameable: Yes
Rideable: Yes
Saddle:  
Command:  

  • Wild: Found in small numbers within the Island's colder regions, Chalicotherium obsideoquus is normally a peaceful herbivore that prefers to spend its days lazing about or playing with it's family. It is very territorial, however, and the entire family, young and old, will turn against an encroaching creature at just the slightest provocation.

  • Domesticated: While many creatures are useful while attacking a fortress, Chalicotherium can be trained as mobile artillery. Its unique playtime habit becomes a rather devastating long-range assault tactic when it is given boulders to throw, rather than snowballs!

  • Known Information: A strange scene to stumble upon is a group of Chalicotherium playing. One odd playtime activity for Chalicotherium is hurling large balls of snow or mud-rocks at each other. Smaller creatures in the area shy away from Chalicotherium during this exertion, for fear of being buried in snow or gravel.

 

Drops

  • Raw Meat
  • Hide
