Host Player Map resets.

[grrminator]

I applied your fix, however upon a lengthy disconnect and reconnect, the hosted player loses all map progress. (but not boss completions or fast travel points, just what you are able to see) IE the fog of war comes back and you have to clear it to access your fast travels again.

You need to ensure that your 'DedicatedServerName' matches the previously used 'ServerName' for the map to load correctly.

@grrminator let me know if @KilluaAoki's fix works for you, otherwise I'll add it to the list of known bugs

If for some reason you can't match the 'DedicatedServerName' in GameUserSettings.ini said, you can also fix it in another way :

• Connect to the new server at least once (you won't have the map yet).
• Disconnect from the server (no need to close the game).
• Go into your local save folder (the client's save, not the server's), mine on windows is located at C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Pal\Saved\SaveGames\76561198049044093
• Back up everything here, in case something goes wrong
• Copy the LocalData.sav from the previous server (you have to know the previous server id)
• Paste it to replace the LocalData.sav from the new server
• Now you should have your previous map back

This method is less convenient than @KilluaAoki 's but it's an alternative.
(Technically this means that the fog of way on the map is client sided and just by having a fully unlocked LocalData.sav you could always unhide the entire map on any server)

Where would I find these names outside of the palworld settings.ini

Keep LocalData.sav on host player's SaveGames

@grrminator You need to ensure that your 'DedicatedServerName' matches the previously used 'ServerName' for the map to load correctly.

Can you explain this better?

Disregard. I got it working. I skipped over gameusersettings.ini

Now the next question is, how to get it to show up on battlemetrics/public server list. Im tired of direct connecting.

How did you get this working? I have them named the same world name but the map still isnt working.

@grrminator try deleting the WorldOptions.sav file and you'll be able to edit your config. I'm going to close this since this is not an issue with the script
