🛠ī¸ Advanced Configuration Page

The Advanced Configuration page is designed for power users who require granular control over server startup parameters and application resource management.

📝 Component Overview

  • File Path: src/pages/tools/AdvancedPage.tsx
  • Associated Service: updateServerSettings, optimizeMemory.
  • Features: Custom Launch Args, Mod Map Presets, Application RAM Optimizer, Eco Mode.

🚀 Key Features

1. Custom Launch Arguments (🕹ī¸)

  • Direct Injection: Add any valid ARK: Survival Ascended command-line argument to the server's boot sequence.
  • Command Preview: A real-time preview showing exactly how the arguments will be appended to the executable path.
  • Safety Warning: Visual alerts reminding users that incorrect flags can prevent the server from initializing correctly.

2. Quick Presets (đŸ”Ĩ)

  • Mod Map Integration: Pre-configured arguments for popular community maps (e.g., Scorched Earth Reborn).
  • One-Click Application: Automatically appends the necessary -MapModID and -mods flags without manual typing.

3. Performance Optimizer (⚡)

  • Memory Trimming: Manually force the application to release unused RAM back to the operating system.
  • Application Priority: Elevate the Server Manager process to "High Priority" within Windows to ensure it remains responsive even when the CPU is under heavy load from game servers.

4. Ultra Eco Mode (🍃)

  • Resource Conservation: An aggressive optimization mode that targets a memory footprint of less than 50MB for the manager app.
  • Background Worker: Silently manages resource reclamation in the background, ideal for low-spec hosting machines.

🛠ī¸ Technical Details

Argument Persistence

Launch arguments are stored in the ServerConfig table and are concatenated with the base command line during the start_server process.

Memory Optimization Logic

Uses Tauri's backend capabilities to invoke Windows-specific memory management APIs (EmptyWorkingSet or similar).

await optimizeMemory();

🎨 UI/UX Patterns

  • High-Alert Theme: Uses a "Red to Orange" gradient to signal the "Advanced" and potentially destructive nature of these settings.
  • Monospaced Inputs: Custom arguments use a monospaced font to match terminal/INI standards.
  • Dashboard Cards: Performance tools are organized into cards with distinct icons (Zap, Leaf, Activity) for quick identification.
