PalMon v2.0.0 - The Palworld 1.0 Update

⚠️ IMPORTANT: RCON is Dead!

With Palworld 1.0, Pocketpair officially deprecated RCON. PalMon now relies 100% on the HTTP REST API. You must update your config.json to move your Admin Password into the new rest_api block (see the new default config included in the zip). Note: The REST API actively rejects connections with blank passwords, so ensure you have one set in your server's INI!

✨ New Features

• Live Settings Editor: You can now visually edit your PalWorldSettings.ini directly from the PalMon Web Dashboard! It includes all the new 1.0 settings (Voice Chat, PvP, Stat Enhancements). PalMon automatically creates a .bak backup file on your hard drive every time you save.
• Crossplay Support: Player IDs are now correctly handled as strings, preventing crashes when Xbox and PS5 players join your server.
• Smart Browser Launch: PalMon now waits in the background and automatically pops open your web browser the exact second your server fully boots and becomes "Healthy". It will also intelligently open the browser to warn you if it detects a configuration error.
• Level 80 Ready: The dashboard scales seamlessly with the new Palworld 1.0 level caps.

🛠️ Fixes & Tweaks

• Fixed the Admin Announce/Broadcast tool to properly use the 1.0 /announce endpoint.
• Added a graceful halt to the monitor loop to prevent endless restart loops if the admin password is wrong.
• Increased the default monitor startup delay to 30 seconds to accommodate the new map zones loading into RAM.
• Removed legacy Mac/Linux process checks to streamline the Windows-based monitor.
