AdminESP v1.1
Admin ESP for players and structures with smart near/far display, strict @class binding, transponder toggle, spectator support, and safe live reload.
AdminESP provides admin-focused ESP with two modes:
Players ESP via cheat esp players
Structures ESP via cheat esp structures (optional runtime keyword)
The plugin supports near/far visualization logic to reduce clutter:
Near (<800m): per-instance labels
Far (≥800m): spatial clusters with count (example: metal x5, forgeplus x2)
What's new in v1.1
Fixed ESP visibility leak — ESP is delivered only to the admin who enabled it; other players no longer see admin ESP
Fixed Unicode / special characters — player names, labels, and messages with non-ASCII text render correctly
Spectator mode support — ESP works after cheat EnableSpectator; scans and labels follow the admin camera/view position
Stability improvements — sticky labels, spatial clustering, and config defaults updated
Features
Cheat commands: cheat esp players, cheat esp structures, cheat esp structures [keyword], cheat esp off
Strict admin-only enforcement — ESP is bound to the admin who enabled it
Strict class binding with @ prefix (example: @dedicatedstorage) — typo by 1 letter = no match
Smart near/far structure rendering with spatial clustering (75m radius at ≥800m)
Optional global structure scan with cache refresh interval to reduce load spikes
Floating world labels with distance display and scale by range
Transponder toggle flow after mode activation (normal play; not in spectator)
Console reload: AdminESP.reload
Spectator-compatible ESP via cheat EnableSpectator
Configuration
Notes
Requirements: ARK: Survival Evolved dedicated server; Ark Server API 3.56+
Keep config.json next to DLL
config.json must be valid JSON (no // comments)
Use commented_config.json as reference, then strip comments into config.json
ESP is strictly admin-only — only the admin who enabled ESP sees labels and map visuals
In spectator mode, use cheat esp ... commands; transponder toggle requires a live character
Install / Update
Place plugin files in ArkApi plugins folder
Replace AdminESP.dll for v1.1 update (keep your existing config.json)
Edit config.json if needed
Run AdminESP.reload after config changes
