hi,

 

I have a question about the Palworld Docker Container.
I have a problem connecting via my external IP. The internal LAN IP works.

 

Now you could say it is because of the port sharing. To rule this out, I checked the port share for the game factorio and tried to connect. I was able to connect via both the internal and external IP.

 

I think that would rule out the problem with the port sharing.

 

By the way, I use an OPNsense router for port sharing.

 

 

I have also edited this in the config:
...,AdminPassword="adminDocker",ServerPassword="",Pub...

 

and did this:

Removed the line "EpicApp=Palserver" from the template

 

 

thanks for your help

I guess you mean port forwarding?? First check if you don't have conflicting port with another docker listening to 8211. Verify your docker is on the right network. Check your config to be sure you enable to check the publicip to autoupdate if you don't use any cloudfare and such. 

I am also having problems with Palworld being inaccessible.  my log output seems to suggest a problem.  any ideas?

In CS GO you must provide a valid steam user and password with SteamGuard disabled so that it shows up on the public server list.

Steam recommends to create a seperate user account for all the dedicated servers.

dose the game need to be owned on that account in order to run the server?

 

I know for the windows version you need to own the game to get the server files. Not sure if that could be the issue or not.

Just to be sure, you've set it up like that:

 

As said, I only can tell you that is working fine over here... Maybe something is missconfigured, I really can't tell...

 

Please also double check the protocol, it's UDP only.

I really appreciate you going above and beyond docker related support. 

 

I tried multiple network options bridge, br0, host, etc. my opnsense forwarding it spot on. 

 

For giggles I fired up an ubuntu 22.03 server VM, did the steamcmd fun and changed my port forward destination to it's IP and my friends can get in. I copied the same palsettings.ini file from the saved directory and everything. 

 

I tried nc -u host port, and got success on the docker from a remote server. so I really don't know what's going on.

I don't see any issue.

 

The warnings errors in the log are totally normal and won't prevent the server from running (this was answered multiple times on the last 10 pages).

I see in your log also that you already restarted it once but it was running fine on the first start and as long as the container doesn't restart constantly everything is fine.

Quick question. It's really not the first time I see the error in steam container, in fact I think all of them as it and it never bothered anything. I'm just wondering, they are offering a fix for it in their faq (https://tech.palworldgame.com/dedicated-server-guide#qa)

Because it's a warning, not an error however this directions are that you've posted require the Steam client to be installed which is not in my container <- this would make no sense for a dedicated server.

 

If you look closely in the logs you would actually see that it finds the file where it should be:

[S_API] SteamAPI_Init(): Loaded '/serverdata/.steam/sdk64/steamclient.so' OK.  (First tried local 'steamclient.so')

The first warning is only displayed because it tries to load the steamclient.so from the directory where the executable is located and I think this is what you are referring to:

dlopen failed trying to load:
steamclient.so
with error:
steamclient.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

However as said above, one line after this it finds the steamclient.so where it should be and continues.

 

Hope that answers your question.

Update - Fixed. Created a custom network called unraid and allocated the Docker to that. That seems to allow download.

That's odd, then there is most certainly something wrong with your network on Unraid but that is out of scope from this thread however I'm glad that it is now working for you.

Your container is started and waiting for connections.

I think you are referring to CS2 correct? CS:GO was replaced with CS2.

 

The answer to your question is, no.

 

Please note that you have to only put in Steam credentials in the container template if they are not hidden away under the "Show more..." section and marked with the red asterisk.

Sorry but this seems to be a network issue where I can't help and have to figure out on your own.

 

The container is running just fine on my machine and people are able to connect just fine with my hostname and also with my public IP.

It is working for other people too and they have no issue connecting.

How to reset a player in Palworld?
In a tutorial ( Link )
-Stop server
-Delete the file:
Pal/Saved/SaveGames/0/XXXXXXXXXX/Players/XXX-PLAYER-ID-XXX.sav
-Start server

 

It`s works. You can recreate the player and it's level 1 but there are bugs. Pals don't drop items and you can't mine stones/wood.
You can add the saved player ID file back and the dropping and mining will work normally again...

any idea how to fix this to reset/delete a player?

Try to set up a second server, connect to that, create a player, log out, copy the newly created sav file from the new dedicated server to the old one and start the old server again.

 

I would rather recommend not messing with save games because you will most certainly mess up something.

It's cool that they save the individual players but I'm not to sure if the player sav files are maybe linked to the world save file.

Unfortunately does not work. loading screen freezes. A pity. Then a player cannot be reset at the moment, thank you for your quick answer

Maybe than this is a question for the developers themselves…?

 

They could implement this maybe as a admin command or allow the deletion from the file itself.

ich777, im having trouble getting your rcon plugin to connect to my palworld server. I can connect just fine with arrcon on windows

 

this error is returned

This is a known issue but if you use it like that it should work:

rcon -H SERVERIP -p 25575 -P YOURADMINPASSWORD info

 

You will get the same error but you can pair it with timeout like that to circumvent that (if you use timeout 1 it should also be enough) :

timeout 2 rcon -H SERVERIP -p 25575 -P YOURADMINPASSWORD info

if i include my admin password i get

Invalid auth reply, valid password?

i assumed i should leave it blank

 

using timeout prevents the error, but it doesn't return a response either

Then you know that the password is wrong, are you sure that you are using the specified admin password?

 

It is working over here just fine:

i am certain, like i said I was able to use rcon from the windows client. i even copy pasted from the config file to be sure.

solved:

 

I had special characters in my password, notably it started with a "$". i think that probably broke it. changed to simple letters and it worked
