How to move your Dedicated Palworld Save onto a Server Host - WITH ALL MAP AND PLAYER DATA

all right ladies and gentlemen welcome back what's going on it's Bam from bams gaming studos here today bringing you another YouTube video and today I'm going to be explaining to you how to transfer your transfer your dedicated server from your computer to a host um now this process was a little bit frustrating for me personally because it took me a little bit of time to figure it out and there's not a ton of guides out there but the one I found did help and uh what really conflicted me at first is that I no matter how many times I did the steps it said to do um it wouldn't work uh no matter what I did I got the map data I got the world data but it would not transfer my player uh my player data so you know my my pals my technology my inventory all that stuff that's really important uh neither my my friend stuff either so this isn't like going from a save to a dedicated server where you only lose the host data it was everybody's um so I did figure out how to fix it I'm going to show you guys how to do that real quick uh one prerequisite that you might want to have is filezilla but I'm just going to show you how to do it within the um the web browser like for the host itself most hosts have the same kind of file manager look and if they required you have file for you to have file Zilla I will how to show show how to do that as well so personally I use dat host I've dat host I've had a a pretty good go of it with them so far as you can see here's my server uh I'm not going to do anything crazy like actually override the files that are on it or anything like that just because it is up it is working and as anybody who was watching this knows um everything's pretty finicky right now now I do want to say it is definitely very important you follow these steps down to a t all right so once you get your server up and running uh for the first time you've logged in like it's online and whatever you can probably go ahead and stop it at this point I'm sure it's generated the prerequisite files that you might need and if not I would say at least run it one time if it doesn't do it by itself um and this is important because it generates the config files that you will need to edit in order for this whole process to work um so I'm going to go into the file manager here on my server and I'll show you like you'll see the save folder content um so you're going to go into save you won't see save games yet but you should see config and within config you should see all of these files now I will go ahead and let you know that to edit any on the server that you want to change that'll be po World settings I'll open that up real quick to show you it'll look like this it's all in a line unfortunately but all the settings are here they're based on numbered variables are true and false um and then also there's like also like the difficulty which is none can be set to hard all that good stuff but that's not important to what we're doing what is important is the game user settings um once you start the server for the first time and you have these config files the very first thing you're want to do so I'll go ahead and open up my save folder here and let me show you guys how to get to that so the easiest way honestly is to go to the steam go to your power world dedicated server and here let me do that real quick right click on it manage browse local files that'll take you right to where you have it installed it opens in the background usually um but here it is new cm in the pow server uh folder and as you can see this looks pretty similar pretty much exactly the same to what I see here now this is Windows to Linux um and this is actually the only way I've heard that this H Works foolproof yet I don't know about Windows to Windows but I'm sure it would work the same and also worked just fine um okay so anyways importantly most importantly you're going to go into saved then save games into zero and whatever your world name is there should only be one for your dedicated server you're going to go ahead and right click on that hit rename copy it and paste it on this line right here where it says dedicated server name now as you can see mine is set to the name of my server my world folder and I'm not going to change any of that like I said once that's done uh this is the the next step and it's again it's important that you do these in this order and I should mention while you're doing this from editing the config file to what I'm about to tell you to do you should have the server offline after that initial startup once all this stuff is generated um so anyways the next thing you're going to do you're done in the fig file for now unless you want to go change the game settings um you're going to go to save games and if it's not there yet you'll need to do this exactly this save games with the S and the g capitalized a zero folder inside of that and then this right here you see here's my world folder with that same name we put in the uh the game user settings you're going to paste that folder all of it just literally drag and drop it inside of the zero folder now for me like on here it was as easy as and I'm not going to do it like I said but I literally clicked on this file like drug it like this and dropped it right onto here and then it it uh it went ahead and uploaded it for me now I did say I was going to show you how to do this from filezilla and for some people that have it or don't have a nice file manager layout like this I will show you how to do so so first you want to download it I'm not going to go through that process but I will have the link in the description once it's open it'll look something like this mine might be out of date but it'll look pretty similar to this it always has now on mine down here it says FTP this is the information you're going to need this the host the port the username and the password sometimes it'll make it whatever your panel or your signup password was and your email um you might get emailed the information for this a lot of times it's going to be under a tab labeled FTP or on the file manager page itself like it is here uh once you're in filezilla you're going to click on this little like server this computer looking icon up here actually I'm sorry don't do that that's not worth the time well really it is the easiest thing to do uh this will open up you guys won't have all this here you're going to hit new site and I'm just going to name this um gosh pal server um now on the host you're going to copy the host down here so I'll copy this port uh and obviously I'm going to have this blurred out so you guys won't see it but the username and password will go over here as well um so once you do that you're going to hit okay it'll add it to your servers up here so it didn't sign me in anything but it is adding added once that's done you click here and you see this thing this is po server again you guys won't have all these other ones so it'll just be right here at the top you can click on it and it will connect you into the FTP and what you're looking at here is the same thing I was looking at in the file manager but maybe just a little bit more familiar to like the Windows File interface um so again you would go into saved am I losing my mind here save no I'm not uh save games zero and this is where you're going to want to put that world folder and if again if these don't exist just create them and of config in Linux server is where you will find both the game user settings and the power default settings that edit the server settings so that's how you do it through FTP and that's also how you do it through file manager um now after all this is done you are clear to start the server and I just want to resay again before you do any of this the server should be shut down you do need to start it once initially though just to generate the configuration files but with all that said and done you should be good to upload the save file to the um server play it and the steps I've said and you'll be good to go if you have any questions please leave them Below guys and I apologize for my speech don't know why I'm tripping up so much probably because I'm tired um but I hope I was able to help some people out because this was a super frustrating issue for me anyways thanks guys have a good night
