Palworld Server Manager v1.6.0

Palworld Server Manager v1.6.0

This release introduces major updates to the Discord Integration, including real-time connection status tracking, intents fallback logic, and a fallback plain-text command parser.

🚀 New Features & Improvements

• Real-time Status Tracking: Shows the precise connection state (offline, connecting, online) of your Discord Bot directly in the Tauri Manager dashboard.
• Intents Fallback Logic: Automatically detects and recovers from missing Privileged Intents (like Message Content Intent). If disabled in the Developer Portal, the bot falls back gracefully to keep Dashboard and Event Alert updates fully functional.
• Instant Slash Commands: Automatically registers all commands for the guilds the bot is currently in upon connection, making them instantly available to users without the standard 1-hour global Discord command cache delay.
• Text Command Parser: Added prefix/text command parsing (/status, !status <id>, !players, !start <id>, etc.) as a fallback option when slash commands are slow or if you prefer typing.
• Live Dashboard Setup Command: Run /dashboard <server_id> or !dashboard <server_id> in any Discord channel to automatically set it as the live dashboard channel and post the server dashboard embed.
• Tauri App UI Command Reference: Updated the Discord tab guide to display the new /dashboard command reference.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Auto-Update Success Alerts: Resolved the race condition and sorting mismatch where the update manager queried the oldest database history record to verify success, causing false-positive Update Failed notifications to Discord.
• Background Thread Safety: Prevented database locking issues during async .await execution in command interactions.
• Tauri Command Safety: Prevented triggering dashboard refreshes while the bot is offline or still connecting.

Palworld Server Manager v1.5.0

Palworld Server Manager v1.5.0

This major release introduces multi-server instance cloning, graceful countdown restarts, direct server migration packages, logs terminal upgrades, and advanced game configuration options.

🚀 New Features & Improvements

• Multi-Server Instance Cloning: Instantly replicate any existing server's configuration, SQLite entries, non-conflicting port allocations, and world save files to a new directory from the Dashboard or Server Detail view.
• Graceful Restarts & Countdown Warnings: Restarts and stops now broadcast countdown messages in-game over REST API/RCON (e.g. 30s/15s warnings) if players are online, trigger a save, and perform a clean shutdown. Suppresses false-positive crash-monitor alerts.
• Direct Server Migration Packages: Export a server's complete world save data (Pal/Saved) and installed mods (Mods) into a single ZIP migration package with a server_metadata.json manifest, then import it on any machine to set up the server instantly.
• Upgraded Logs Terminal: Complete terminal emulator in the Logs tab supporting direct RCON command execution, clean console logs streaming (hides headers/timestamps), auto-scroll toggle, command history, and log exports.
• Garbage Collection (Engine) Optimizations: Automatically configures garbage collection tuning settings inside Engine.ini ([/Script/Engine.GarbageCollectionSettings]) when "Optimize RAM" is active to mitigate server process memory leaks.
• Steam Workshop Authenticated Downloads: Supports authenticated logins (steam_username setting) instead of anonymous downloads, fixing SteamCMD download restrictions for paid games, with helpful error messages for Steam Guard caching.
• CurseForge Integration & Autocleanup: Integrated CurseForge API searches for Palworld mods, and auto-cleans up older version files of the same mod in the destination folder to prevent startup conflicts.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Ban List Formatting Fixes: Standardizes Steam ID bans with or without steam_ prefixes, preventing entry duplication and formatting bugs.
• Donation Options Clean-Up: Removed credit card validation scripts and layouts to focus entirely on direct links for Ko-fi, PayPal, and GitHub sponsorships.

Palworld Server Manager v1.4.0

Palworld Server Manager v1.4.0

This release introduces server auto-restart on crashes, running the server as administrator, player direct messaging (broadcasts), system resource polling optimizations, and Steam Workshop/local ZIP logic mods registration overrides.

🚀 New Features & Improvements

• Auto-Restart on Crash: Automatically recovers the dedicated server process if it crashes or stops unexpectedly.
• Run Server as Administrator: Added backend & UI support to spawn the PalServer process elevated on Windows via PowerShell (Start-Process -Verb RunAs).
• Player Direct Messages: Allows administrators to broadcast targeted alert warnings to individual players on the server using RCON.
• Workshop & URL Logic Mods Support: Dynamically overrides and updates the InstallRule in Info.json when installing logic/script mods (forcing registration under LogicMods rather than Paks) for Steam Workshop subscriptions, URL downloads, and local file imports.
• Warning Modal Local Import Integration: Added an "Import Downloaded File" action directly inside the Steam Workshop warning modal for easier manual installations.
• Performance Optimizations: Refactored system analyzer and crash monitoring loops to query process statistics only for the target PID via sysinfo::ProcessesToUpdate::Some(&[Pid]), reducing app CPU usage to 0%.

Full Changelog: v1.3.0...v1.4.0

Palworld Server Manager v1.3.0

Palworld Server Manager v1.3.0

This release introduces real-time download speed reporting, RCON boot-up connection retries, and compilation fixes.

🚀 New Features & Improvements

• Real-Time Download Speed UI Fix: Resolved an issue where download speeds during server installation would drop to 0 B/s due to SteamCMD log buffering. Speed is now calculated dynamically on progress updates, with a 5-second decay interval.
• RCON Boot Race Connection Fix: Fixed a connection refusal (os error 10061) when attempting to auto-connect to RCON while the server is booting. Added a 5-second delay to the initial auto-connect in the frontend, and implemented automatic backend retries (up to 5 attempts, 2-second sleep between attempts) in the RCON service.
• Server Creation Build Fix: Resolved a TypeScript compilation error (TS2339) where the publicIp property was missing on the server creation payload.
• Suppress CLI Window Popups: Added CREATE_NO_WINDOW flags to all Windows command executions to run background CLI tasks silently, resolving repeated PowerShell window popups.
• Server Installation Stage Progress: Mapped pipeline stages to camelCase variants to match backend Rust serialization, ensuring active stage state hydrates correctly.

Palworld Server Manager v1.2.0

This release introduces server installation stage progress tracking fixes and background task execution window suppression.

🚀 New Features & Improvements

• Suppress CLI Window Popups: Added CREATE_NO_WINDOW flags to all Windows command executions (firewall rules, server registry queries, etc.) to run background CLI tasks silently, resolving repeated PowerShell window popups.
• Server Installation Stage Progress: Mapped pipeline stages to camelCase variants to match backend Rust serialization. Ensured active stage state hydrates correctly for crash recovery, and added formatStageName to display user-friendly stage labels (e.g., Checking Updates).

Full Changelog: v1.1.0...v1.2.0

Palworld Server Manager v1.1.0

Palworld Server Manager v1.1.0

This release introduces major stability fixes, UI/UX overhauls for the Mod Manager, automated Windows Defender Firewall rules, and public server listing visibility fixes.

🚀 New Features & Improvements

• REST API Mod Discovery Migration: Shifted mod searches away from the deprecated/offline search.nexusmods.com service to the official authenticated api.nexusmods.com REST API. Supports smart keyword filtering, direct Mod ID queries, and Nexus link parses.
• Interactive Mod Details Modal: Click on any mod in the discover grid to view details, platform tags, authors, download statistics, and full BBCode/Markdown-parsed descriptions.
• Native BBCode & Markdown Rendering: Custom HTML renderer parses Nexus BBCode tags and Modrinth Markdown formats on the fly for safe native displaying.
• Mod Type Classification Guide: Details tab distinguishes between Standard Asset Mods (/Paks/) and Script/Logic Mods (/LogicMods/), checks if the UE4SS framework is installed on the server, and provides a direct installer if missing.
• Nexus Mods Free Account Fallback: Gracefully intercepts 403 Forbidden API errors on free accounts. Displays a friendly manual guide and direct browser link instead of crashing.
• Inline Manual Importing: Added an "Import Downloaded File" button inside the details modal and warning popups to pick local .zip or .pak files directly.
• Automated Local Zip Unpacking: Refactored the local file manager to automatically unpack and extract .pak assets from imported .zip archives.
• Automated Firewall Port Allocation: Port auto-allocation and server creation wizards now automatically execute Windows Defender rules, setting up inbound UDP/TCP exceptions for Game, RCON, and REST API ports.
• UAC Elevation Privilege Split: Configured manifest profiles to run under standard user privileges in dev mode (resolving OS Error 740 elevation crashes) and enforce admin mode exclusively in production release builds.
• Community Server Visibility: Automatically appends EpicApp=PalServer and -publiclobby parameters on startup to list servers in the public in-game server browser.

🛠️ Visual & UX Refinements

• Added container translate-up and border shadow animations on card hovers.
• Implemented image scale-zoom transitions for card thumbnails.
• Added vector SVG icons for authors and download metrics.
• Integrated formatNumber to format large numbers (e.g. 407.4k instead of raw integers).
• Updated NEXUS and MODRINTH platform badges.
