[Help] Where can I find Ark.h, ServerAPI.h, and ArkApi.lib to compile plugins in Visual Studio 2022?

[crazyangel23]

Hey folks,
I'm trying to compile a plugin for ARK using Visual Studio 2022, but I'm missing three essential files: Ark.h, ServerAPI.h, and ArkApi.lib.
I've already checked the ArkAPI repository and the base plugin folders, but I couldn't find these anywhere. Without them, the build won't generate the .dll.


Does anyone know where I can download these files or how to properly set them up for plugin development?


Any help is appreciated—thanks in advance!

These files are included with the source code of the API, which can be found here for A:SA or here for A:SE.

You need to properly include the headers and the library file when building your plugin, otherwise it will not compile.
