💬 ARK ASA ↔ Discord cross chat, no plugin

Cross chat relays in-game chat: from each map to a Discord channel, from one map to another, and even from Discord into the game. Usually that takes a plugin. Our bot only uses RCON, which every ARK server already has, so it also works on Nitrado and on console.

What it does

• Maps → Discord: messages from all your maps land in the channel of your choice, with the map name (and its cluster).
• Maps ↔ maps: a player on The Island talks to players on Ragnarok. Your choice: all maps together, only maps of the same cluster, or none.
• Discord → game (optional): your community replies from Discord and the message shows up in game.

Built to last

• Fast reading when people are chatting, calmer when the server is quiet: your server is never overloaded.
• No emojis sent in game (ARK’s chat displays them badly), @ mentions disabled on Discord.
• Messages are relayed, never stored.

How to enable it

1. Add your maps in your server’s “Maps” tab (IP address, RCON port, admin password).
2. In “Discord bot”, open the Cross chat step: tick it, pick the channel and the scope.
3. That’s it: the first messages arrive within seconds.
