[captainhighfive]

Hi this might be a tedious and silly request but would you happen to have a guide that explains what each option does in depth and how a higher or lower number affects it?

I see “deathpenalty=All” I dont really know what that means or my options to change it.

Also that Death Penalty one was an example but not the only one I find confusing.

Like is “BaseCampMaxNum=128” The max number of bases among all guilds? Is it the size of the base? Is it the max one guild can have?

Is there an option to increase the base radius?

 

[cetin]

All settings and keywords updated!

 

[Sov]

What is UNKO/Unidentified Nocturnal Knock Off?

 

[captainhighfive]

This is amazing! Thank you so much!

I will be bookmarking this!

 

[detrovi]

Is there a way to enable Pals to continue working the base when no guild members are online? It appears like our Pals freeze up whenever all guild members have logged off. Would like them to continue generating resources if possible.

 

[cetin]

Hey @detrovi ,

When your friends in the same Guild go offline, they are automatically removed from the group after the time you set. To adjust this setting, I recommend that you correct the "AutoResetGuildTimeNoOnlinePlayers" setting in the server installation.

Apart from this, it is not possible for Pals to work when Guild Members are not in the game.
You can’t use their Pals unless they put them in the Pal Box.

 

[detrovi]

Hey Cetin, okay. That’s what our experience had been (Pals stopped when all Guild Members were offline).

What is that metric measured in? Is that in hours? Days? it’s 72.00000 by default, what’s the unit of measure?

 

[pixelbrush]

I’d like to know a bit more about a few of these Variables. Like, what Penalties is bEnableNonLoginPenalty even referring to? What other options exist for the DeathPenalty Variable (thus far, we only know about All, which drops all items and pals, 2 which only drops items, and None, which drops nothing).

 

[zimmra]

@palworld What are allowed values for region?

 

[zimmra]

Actually @palworld, I would appreciate details and clarification on a lot of these

Edit: Found answers to some of these crawling around on here, answered points are struckthrough and include source

• Difficulty - allowed values and details of the values?
• { }Rate - What is the valid range for these? I assume these are multipliers, as in ExpRate 2.000000 would be double experience? Most of these covered in Palworld Server Multiplier - Damage, health and stamina Settings
• PlayerAutoHpRegeneRateInSleep / PalAutoHpRegeneRateInSleep - does this apply to any time the player is laying in bed? Or only when “full sleep” (night time skip) is activated when all players lay in bed?
• EnemyDropItemRate - Does this just increase the quantity of items they drop if they drop, or does it increase the chances of loot? Looks like it increases the frequency that they drop, not the quantity, per Palworld Server Multiplier - Damage, health and stamina Settings
• DeathPenalty - would like specifics on difference between Item and ItemAndEquipment Answered by @burstahh, Item drops your inventory, ItemAndEquipment drops inventory and equipped gear (e.g. spawn as bambi + your Pals)
• bEnablePlayerToPlayerDamage / bEnableFriendlyFire - is being members of the same guild the condition for friendly fire?
• DropItemAliveMaxHours - What is the allowed range on this?
• bActiveUNKO - an explanation of what Unidentified Nocturnal Knock-off is would be helpful
• DropItemMaxNum - is this dropped items per stack, or number of individual items on the ground in the world at any given time
• DropItemMaxNum_UNKO - see above 2 points
• PalEggDefaultHatchingTime - how does this scale with egg sizes?
• bIsPvP - What is different between this and enabling bEnablePlayerToPlayerDamage?
• bIsMultiplay - What does this do?
• bEnableDefenseOtherGuildPlayer - does this affect your current summoned Pal to treat nearby guild members as yourself in terms of aggro/damage or what does this do?
• bCanPickupOtherGuildDeathPenaltyDrop - If a player does not belong to a guild, can their loot be picked up regardless of this setting?
• CoopPlayerMaxNum - What does this do on a dedicated server, I don’t see any options to send invite codes? Does enabling bIsMultiplay allow for invite codes to be sent? If so, are the repercussions to doing this?
• ServerPlayerMaxNum - Are numbers higher than 32 possible? 512 Appears to be max per How to change or increase Palworld server players limit
• PublicPort - Does this need to be 8211 to be on the Community Servers list or are we free to change/manage that per our own network needs? Appears to be changeable per How to Change Palworld Server Ports
• Region - Allowed values? And is this just for filtering the server listings or does it actually region lock the server?
• bUseAuth - is this just to enable/disable the password requirement if a password is set, or ?

Can also be set 0-3

0= None
1= Item
2= ItemAndEquipment
3= All

Thats also the formatting if you want to use the text instead of number on 2.

What each does

None = Obviously nothing
Item = Items in your bag drop on death
ItemAndEquipment = Items in Bag/Equipped drop
All = ^everything above + pals

 

[zimmra]

ItemAndEquipment = Items in Bag/Equipped drop

That makes more sense.

I was trying to find out what ‘equipment’ was, thought it was referring to your key items bag section or something, I didn’t realize it was referring to currently equipped gear.

 

[burstahh]

Unidentified Nocturnal Knock-off

Also apparently the UNKO thing is pals on base continue working when knocked out

 

[zimmra]

knocked-out as in when they’re sleeping, or knocked-out as in incapacitated/needing-revival?

 

[burstahh]

Would need testing but maybe both? Though I don’t get why they have the unko dropped item line then lol.

 

[zimmra]

Though I don’t get why they have the unko dropped item line

Adds to my confusion as well.

Hopefully @cetin or someone else at @palworld will be able to provide full details for the parameters soon.

 

[DragoQC]

is there a way for people with no static IP to put something else in the Server IP like i have a ddns and it worked but i bought a domain and i dont know how to use it. is there something to do about it?

 

[BillyBob]

The domain should point to your IP address. It’s basically just a mask. So instead of typing in 142.250.125.138 to get to google I can type in google.com and it takes me to the website. I don’t need to remember the IP just the domain. Also lets Google change the IP and the domain still works.

It’s been a while since I set mine up but typically your domain provider should have provided a way to set the IP address your domain points to. Some allow you to use DDNS so you don’t have to manually update it every time your IP changes and others don’t. DDNS usually involves running some software locally that updates the remote server with your new IP when it changes.

If I remember right I have my domain set to use cloudflare’s DNS service. Then in cloudflare I told it what my IP is for the domain. Might take up to 48 hours for this to take effect but once it does you should be able to connect to your server by using “MyDomain.com:8211”.

Reason for it taking 48 hours is once you tell CloudFlare DNS where your domain points to CloudFlare has to tell all the different DNS servers around the world what your domain points to. Takes typically 24-48 hours to do if I remember correctly.

Hopefully this is enough info to at least get you started/pointed in the right direction.

 

[DragoQC]

the propagation always gets me…
Thx a lot and its working
