ark-tools can't open .ark save with Version 11 (latest ARK: Survival Evolved update)

[Ahmed1Elkady]

After the latest update to ARK: Survival Evolved, the .ark save file format uses Version 11.

Trying to load it with ark-tools throws this error:
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Found unknown Version 11

Please add support for this new version.

My goal is to directly extract and modify tribe data from a .ark file and save it back as a working .ark file after the edits — not just export to JSON.

Thanks! @Qowyn

I feel like this project might abandoned entirely. My plan was to take my official saves, dump all of the dinos to json, then convert that to a searchable wiki with dynamic images. Wonder if i could tinker using claude to fix it.
