I seem to have a problem with the settings configuration

[dexterIshere]

Server runs without the setings configured in PalWorldSettings.ini

I'm not the player in this story, but i hosted a server using your compose file in a dedicated serv for my homies.
At the begining i only customised the parameters in the PalWorldSettings.ini located inside blablabla/Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/PalWorldSettings.ini. wich was like that :

[/Script/Pal.PalGameWorldSettings]
OptionSettings=(Difficulty=Difficult,DayTimeSpeedRate=1.000000,NightTimeSpeedRate=1.000000,ExpRate=1.000000,PalCaptureRate=1.000000,PalSpawnNumRate=1.000000,PalDamageRateAttack=1.000000,PalDamageRateDefense=1.000000,PlayerDamageRateAttack=1.000000,PlayerDamageRateDefense=1.000000,PlayerStomachDecreaceRate=1.000000,PlayerStaminaDecreaceRate=1.000000,PlayerAutoHPRegeneRate=1.000000,PlayerAutoHpRegeneRateInSleep=1.000000,PalStomachDecreaceRate=1.000000,PalStaminaDecreaceRate=1.000000,PalAutoHPRegeneRate=1.000000,PalAutoHpRegeneRateInSleep=1.000000,BuildObjectDamageRate=1.000000,BuildObjectDeteriorationDamageRate=1.000000,CollectionDropRate=1.000000,CollectionObjectHpRate=1.000000,CollectionObjectRespawnSpeedRate=1.000000,EnemyDropItemRate=1.000000,DeathPenalty=All,bEnablePlayerToPlayerDamage=False,bEnableFriendlyFire=False,bEnableInvaderEnemy=True,bActiveUNKO=False,bEnableAimAssistPad=True,bEnableAimAssistKeyboard=False,DropItemMaxNum=3000,DropItemMaxNum_UNKO=100,BaseCampMaxNum=128,BaseCampWorkerMaxNum=15,DropItemAliveMaxHours=1.000000,bAutoResetGuildNoOnlinePlayers=False,AutoResetGuildTimeNoOnlinePlayers=72.00000,GuildPlayerMaxNum=20,PalEggDefaultHatchingTime=2.00000,WorkSpeedRate=1.000000,bIsMultiplay=False,bIsPvP=True,bCanPickupOtherGuildDeathPenaltyDrop=False,bEnableNonLoginPenalty=True,bEnableFastTravel=True,bIsStartLocationSelectByMap=True,bExistPlayerAfterLogout=False,bEnableDefenseOtherGuildPlayer=False,CoopPlayerMaxNum=4,ServerPlayerMaxNum=16,ServerName="Default Palworld Server",ServerDescription="",AdminPassword="",ServerPassword="",PublicPort=8211,PublicIP="",RCONEnabled=true,RCONPort=25575,Region="",bUseAuth=True,BanListURL="https://api.palworldgame.com/api/banlist.txt")

But they say that the game was not in Difficult. So i decided to move with the .env file. and the PalWorldSettings.ini file turn into this :

; This configuration file is a sample of the default server settings.
; Changes to this file will NOT be reflected on the server.
; To change the server settings, modify Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/PalWorldSettings.ini.
[/Script/Pal.PalGameWorldSettings]
OptionSettings=(Difficulty=Difficult,DayTimeSpeedRate=1.000000,NightTimeSpeedRate=1.000000,ExpRate=1.000000,PalCaptureRate=1.000000,PalSpawnNumRate=1.000000,PalDamageRateAttack=1.000000,PalDamageRateDefense=1.000000,PlayerDamageRateAttack=1.000000,PlayerDamageRateDefense=1.000000,PlayerStomachDecreaceRate=1.000000,PlayerStaminaDecreaceRate=1.000000,PlayerAutoHPRegeneRate=1.000000,PlayerAutoHpRegeneRateInSleep=1.000000,PalStomachDecreaceRate=1.000000,PalStaminaDecreaceRate=1.000000,PalAutoHPRegeneRate=1.000000,PalAutoHpRegeneRateInSleep=1.000000,BuildObjectDamageRate=1.000000,BuildObjectDeteriorationDamageRate=1.000000,CollectionDropRate=1.000000,CollectionObjectHpRate=1.000000,CollectionObjectRespawnSpeedRate=1.000000,EnemyDropItemRate=1.000000,DeathPenalty=All,bEnablePlayerToPlayerDamage=False,bEnableFriendlyFire=False,bEnableInvaderEnemy=True,bActiveUNKO=False,bEnableAimAssistPad=True,bEnableAimAssistKeyboard=False,DropItemMaxNum=3000,DropItemMaxNum_UNKO=100,BaseCampMaxNum=128,BaseCampWorkerMaxNum=15,DropItemAliveMaxHours=1.000000,bAutoResetGuildNoOnlinePlayers=False,AutoResetGuildTimeNoOnlinePlayers=72.00000,GuildPlayerMaxNum=20,PalEggDefaultHatchingTime=2.00000,WorkSpeedRate=1.000000,bIsMultiplay=False,bIsPvP=True,bCanPickupOtherGuildDeathPenaltyDrop=False,bEnableNonLoginPenalty=True,bEnableFastTravel=True,bIsStartLocationSelectByMap=True,bExistPlayerAfterLogout=False,bEnableDefenseOtherGuildPlayer=False,CoopPlayerMaxNum=4,ServerPlayerMaxNum=16,ServerName="Default Palworld Server",ServerDescription="",AdminPassword="",ServerPassword="",PublicPort=8211,PublicIP="",RCONEnabled=true,RCONPort=25575,Region="",bUseAuth=True,BanListURL="https://api.palworldgame.com/api/banlist.txt")

And same result not even the Dificulty mode changed. BUUUUUUUUUT, in the .env file i changed the servname and password + description and this changes worked because they were able to connect. So why game settings wont work.

what am'i suposed to do exactly ?

[bbung224]

As far as I know, the Difficulty setting is not valid on dedicated servers. You will have to adjust the detailed difficulty.

[chickiyeah]

I understood that the Palworldsetting was not completely working, so I told you how, but I think I got it wrong

[dexterIshere]

sry but what do you mean by "adjust the detailed difficulty."

ha ok ok

[dexterIshere]

As far as I know, the Difficulty setting is not valid on dedicated servers. You will have to adjust the detailed difficulty.

And do you know if other setting like PVP do not work too ?

[bbung224]

ExpRate, PalCaptureRate, CollectionDropRate, etc..
You might want to check out the following link.

Also, your dedicated server should be on "Hard" difficulty, but if your players say your server is easy, you should probably make it harder.

haha well thx !! they'll be entitled to the mischievous composition

[bbung224]

Sorry, I don't know about the PVP settings. I haven't tested it.

[dexterIshere]

np, but by chance, do you know why the Difficulty field may cause issues.

[bbung224]

I have no clue

[dexterIshere]

I have no clue

hmmm, it seem that this is a kind of Preset that if you change it you'd better not to change anything else

[thijsvanloef]

Problem should be resolved in update 0.19.1 thanks to beomseok-park, please pull the latest image and check if your issue has been resolved.

[thijsvanloef]

If you are still having trouble after updating, please remove your PalWorldSettings.ini and restart your container.

[GuillaumeBarreau]

I just got back, sorry I was away on a business trip for a week. Thank you for continuing my PR :)

Regarding the Setting file, it seems that when we start the starts.sh script, it works correctly and rewrites the Pal configuration file. However, currently, there's an invisible character being added with PalCaptureRate=1.000000e, making the file unreadable for the server and preventing the new server configuration from working.

I deleted the lines that modify EXP_RATE and PalCaptureRate in the starts.sh file, and since then, everything has been working again.

Every time I delete the character and restart the server, it comes back.

[GuillaumeBarreau]

I am writing a method that is a bit more readable in an attempt to simplify and make the writing of this file clearer, as it's a bit complicated to maintain at the moment."

It's the second time I'm doing bash, so please be kind :D
