it is nice of you to bring a new version of the plugin, but I will not use an older version of Ark Api, that is counterproductive. I just hope that there will be a working plugin as soon as possible.

The new plugin version is compatible with any API version above 3.51.
 
does we only need to write the IP server or we also have to add the rcon code ? and also does it work even if the server are on the same cluster but not on the same machine? and does the plugin has to be installed on every map or we can just install on 2 map of the culster (i have 10 and im testing the plugin, it doesn't even look like it's installed)

It has to be installed on all maps, and the addresses are IP:RconPort
 
1.81+api3.54

The first chat message of each map will fail to be sent. The following chat messages will be sent normally. However, if no one chats on a server for a long time, the first chat message will fail. The old version also has this problem.

It looks like you might be using your server's query port number.
You need to have Rcon enabled and use the Rcon port number. I think the Rcon port default is 32330.
You need a separate port for each server.
Example:
127.0.0.1:32330
127.0.0.1:32331
etc
 
Hoping to figure out what the issue is here - We have 3 clustered servers; Rag, Island and Fjord. Rag and Fjord cross chat works just fine. Fjord and Island works just fine. Rag and Island refuse to talk to one another. We're using the same config for all 3 servers - ArkAPI logs state all 3 servers are added on all of them. Using ArkAPI 3.54 and and chat 1.81.

Any suggestions?

It probably is connection refused.

Try using local ips (127.0.0.1) or public ips with rcon ports forwarded.

Thanks for the response!

Can't use local IPs, as they're different machines; Will look into public IP with port forwarding.

If it was a connectioned denied issue, however, wouldn't one server be completely offline to any of the others? TWO of the three work on two of the servers (Rag & Fjord, Island & Fjord) and one of them works as intended (Fjord gets both Rag & Island). Would the connection refused error log somewhere that I can check?

I'm getting exactly this issue with exactly the same versions. Nine server cluster all running 1.81 with api 3.54. Some work to each other fine, some see one way but not the other and it seems intermittent too. Very frustrating, been working with G-Portal support for days (hosted on there) as it used to work fine but as yet no joy. If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear from you.

I run another cluster using api 3.53 and don't see this problem, is this possibly an api update that's caused this?

can someone please explain what does the "Async" option do if set to true? Thank you.

Use you local ip address of your server. 127.0.0.1 is an example ! usually your local ip address is like 192.168.1.something
Also install a duplicate cross server chat in all your plugin maps for each map

Example

{
"CrossChatKey":"password",
"CrossChatMapNameInclude":true,
"RconServers":[
"192.168.1.211:2103",
"192.168.1.211:2003",
"192.168.1.211:3003",
"192.168.1.211:4003",
"192.168.1.211:5003",
"192.168.1.211:6003",
"192.168.1.211:7003",
"192.168.1.211:8003",
"192.168.1.211:9003",
"192.168.1.211:10003",
"192.168.1.211:11003",
"192.168.1.211:12003"
],
"CrossChatMapNameOverride":"[The Island] ",
"Async":true
}



Check you windows IPv4 address in network settings

Works with api 3.5+ / it's running on my servers with ArkApi 3.54

127.0.0.1 is localhost! Btw it's working now with machine IP! Thank you.

I found by myself that ASYNC is basically mandatory to avoid freezes if one of the server in the config doesn't respond or is offline. In case it cannot deliver the message it will output an error in the server log but will not freeze game or chat.
