MystTiq Palworld Server Manager v0.2.16.4
MystTiq Palworld Server Manager v0.2.16.4
SteamCMD Distribution Abstraction & Final Windows Platform Audit
New platform boundary
IServerDistributionPlatformService now owns the OS-specific parts of SteamCMD distribution:
- package URI
- SteamCMD executable naming
- archive extraction
- self-update command arguments
- Palworld server install/update arguments
- SteamCMD process-start configuration
- default Steam library PalServer recovery path
The Windows implementation remains behavior-compatible with the existing validated workflow.

Linux preparation
No Linux runtime is introduced here. v0.2.16.4 completes the major backend platform seams needed before v0.3:
- path profile
- process/session inspection
- server platform operations
- distribution/install/update policy
The desktop UI is still WPF/Windows. Native Linux UI/host strategy belongs to v0.3+.
Documentation closeout
After successful build/runtime validation, the repository documentation was normalized:
- root README now describes current behavior rather than repeating historical implementation notes
- old architecture/feature notes moved to
docs/history/ - current platform-completion audit moved to
docs/architecture/ - pre-publication process notes moved to
docs/release/ - historical release-checklist acceptance sections archived under
docs/history/ - active
RELEASE_CHECKLIST.mdnow contains only the current release workflow and v0.2.16.4 acceptance gates - GitHub Pages version/platform wording synchronized
- stale root delete-instruction file removed
No application source or runtime behavior changed during this documentation closeout.
MystTiq Palworld Server Manager v0.2.15.17
MystTiq Palworld Server Manager v0.2.15.17
v0.2.15.17 is a major stabilization, architecture, MOD-management, and dashboard telemetry release for MystTiq Palworld Server Manager.
This release represents the culmination of the v0.2.15 development series and establishes a stable foundation for the upcoming v0.2.16 platform work.
✨ Highlights
🌎 Live World Telemetry & World Pulse
The Dashboard now provides additional live server information through the new WORLD PULSE system:
- Palworld world day and time from saved-world data
- Current PalServer session uptime
- Current online players
- Peak players for the current session
- Session join and leave counts
- Unique players seen during the session
- World save freshness
- Latest backup age
- Last observed player activity
- World-day transition activity
World time is derived from Palworld's saved-world data rather than estimated from server uptime. When authoritative world-time evidence is unavailable, MystTiq reports it as unavailable instead of guessing.
🧩 Major MOD Runtime Detection Improvements
The v0.2.15 series significantly improves how MystTiq discovers, verifies, and reports UE4SS MODs.
- Improved UE4SS runtime discovery
- Active UE4SS MOD-root detection
- Runtime Evidence Engine
- Native DLL/module detection
- Session-aware runtime evidence
- Improved MOD alias/signature matching
- Better synchronization between runtime evidence and the MOD Library
- Improved distinction between:
- Healthy
- Active / Unverified
- Disabled
- Failed / Error
Native UE4SS MODs can now receive strong positive runtime evidence when their DLL is confirmed as loaded inside the PalServer process.
❤️ Improved Overall Health Logic
Overall Health has been reworked to distinguish genuine failures from informational or uncertain MOD states.
- Disabled MODs are treated as neutral
- Active / Unverified MODs are treated as neutral
- Runtime uncertainty alone does not make the server unhealthy
- Only confirmed failures/errors negatively affect MOD health
- MOD health reporting is now better aligned with actual operational server health
This prevents a healthy server from incorrectly appearing degraded simply because a MOD is disabled or cannot provide definitive runtime evidence.
🏗️ Architecture & Modularization
A large amount of internal architecture work was completed throughout the v0.2.15 series.
Improvements include:
- Server lifecycle modularization
- Process/session inspection separation
- Centralized application service composition
- Runtime evidence services
- Platform-service abstractions
- Improved executable and process handling boundaries
- Reduced coupling between the UI and backend services
- Preparation for future cross-platform support
These changes preserve existing Windows behavior while making future platform work significantly safer.
🖥️ Dashboard Improvements
The Dashboard now provides a more useful operational view of the server.
In addition to existing CPU, RAM, player, server-state, and health information, v0.2.15.17 introduces:
- WORLD PULSE
- True PalServer session uptime
- World day/time
- Session player statistics
- Save freshness
- Backup freshness
- Recent player activity
The existing Dashboard uptime indicator now reflects the PalServer session, rather than simply how long MystTiq itself has been open.
🔧 Build & Release Improvements
The release workflow continues to provide:
- Release validation
- Automated Windows x64 builds
- Self-contained portable packages
- Windows installer generation
- SHA-256 checksum generation
- Release asset verification
- Regression/logic test harnesses
- Version consistency validation
- Synchronized release documentation
The final v0.2.15.17 release build completes with:
0 validation errors
0 validation warnings
Both the portable package and Windows installer are successfully generated and checksum verified.
🛡️ Stability & Regression Work
The v0.2.15 series includes numerous fixes and refinements covering:
- MOD runtime status synchronization
- UE4SS runtime detection
- Native MOD verification
- MOD health calculations
- Overall Health calculations
- Server lifecycle handling
- Process inspection
- Application composition
- Dashboard state synchronization
- Build/release validation
- Documentation consistency
A major goal throughout this series was ensuring that new architecture work did not change already validated server-management behavior.
📦 Release Assets
This release includes:
- Windows x64 Portable Package
- Windows x64 Installer
- SHA-256 Checksums
The application remains focused on Windows for the current release.
🐧 What's Next?
Development will continue with the v0.2.16 series — Platform Completion & Windows Stabilization.
The next phase will focus on completing the remaining platform abstractions, including:
- Runtime path abstraction
- Server executable/path resolution
- SteamCMD abstraction
- Installation/update platform services
- Remaining Windows-specific lifecycle assumptions
- Additional architecture and regression testing
The goal is to finish the platform-neutral backend foundation before beginning the larger:
v0.3.0 — Linux Foundation
Linux support will be introduced carefully without sacrificing the existing validated Windows experience.
