ark-multiplayer

Enables several players for one ARK installation. Currently only experimential, use at your own risk.

Node.js is required in order to run this script.

Setup

Run gpedit.msc as administrator. Grant the right for creating symbolic links to all users required as described on this webpage: http://superuser.com/questions/104845/permission-to-make-symbolic-links-in-windows-7
Create in every home directory of your local users the folder 'ArkSavedGames'. Copy the original contents of 'C:\Program Files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Saved' to all folders
Delete the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Saved
Run airklinker.bat the first time, this should create a symbolic link in the ShooterGame directory to your local folder
Run gpedit.msc again and make sure that the bat file is run everytime a user logs in. See here: http://superuser.com/questions/640771/run-windows-batch-files-at-startup-or-when-any-user-logs-on

Now everytime a user with a local ARK profile logs in, his file is linked into the ARK directory. Have fun!
