The Isle Plugin
ProAdd-onA server-side plugin for The Isle Evrima that talks to your Arkanis dashboard. Players store and restore their dinos, staff paint skins and watch the map live, and none of it needs anything installed on a player's machine.

RCON and SFTP/FTP can read your server. The plugin can change it: it reads and writes a live dino from inside the game process, which is what makes storing, restoring, painting and the one-second map possible.
What is this?
A small agent that loads with your Isle Evrima server (a UE4SS mod on Windows, a preload library on Linux) and exchanges commands with the Arkanis bot over the SFTP or FTP connection the server already has. It unlocks four panels on the dashboard and a set of in-game chat commands for players.
Why you might want it
Dinos die to crashes, restarts and wipes, not just to other players. A player who has grown a Rex over days can bank it in the Garage and bring it back later, exactly as it was, on any body they happen to be wearing. Staff get the same live access for skins and the map, without RCON traffic filling the server log.
What it unlocks
Players store a dino as a voucher and restore it later, from Discord, the dashboard or in-game chat. The voucher keeps species, growth, sex, vitals, diets, mutations, prime objectives and the paint.
Design a skin on a 3D model of the species, from presets or your own colours, and apply it to a player who is in-game. The paint persists for that dino's life.
Gateway in 3D with every player placed once a second, the sky set to the server clock, and parked dinos marked where they were left.
!store, !restore and !slay typed in game chat, with a short in-game reply and the full detail sent to the player's Discord DMs.
How it works
The plugin is the game-side half of a command bridge. The bot writes a command file into the plugin's folder over SFTP or FTP; the plugin picks it up on its next tick, does the work inside the game, and writes the result back. Nothing new is opened on the network: the same SFTP/FTP credentials you gave Arkanis for log streaming carry everything.
Every second the plugin also publishes a roster of every player with a live body, with species, growth, position and vitals. The live map, the Garage's “which server is this player on” check and in-game name resolution all read that one file instead of asking RCON, so an active dashboard no longer leaves a trail of RCON lines in your server log.
Supported servers
- Linux, including Pterodactyl and Pelican containers: a native library loaded ahead of the server binary through a small launch wrapper. Nothing in the game files is edited; a missing library never stops the server booting.
- Windows hosts: a Lua mod for UE4SS. Arkanis installs both, and uses your own UE4SS instead if the server already has one.
- The Isle Evrima on the current public branch. The plugin is server-side only; players install nothing and the game's anti-cheat is not involved on the client.
The dinosaurs and the island are not ours
The Garage, the Skin Studio and the Live Map render The Isle's own models, textures and terrain. The Isle is made by Afterthought LLC and Arkanis claims no ownership of any of it. Arkanis does not sell them, does not redistribute them, and does not offer them for download. What customers pay Arkanis for is the service around their server, not the artwork.
They are here so you can see your own server: which animal a player is actually on, what a skin will look like before you hand it out, and where everybody is standing right now. Arkanis is an independent service and is neither affiliated with nor endorsed by Afterthought LLC. If Afterthought would prefer any of this handled differently, one message to us and it is done.
Pricing
The Isle Plugin is an add-on to Pro, per Discord server, at £24.99 a month or £249.99 a year, billed on the same subscription as Pro. It covers up to three Isle servers on the standard plan. See pricing and billing.
