Palworld: How to Fix Host Save on Dedicated/Community Server - Move Save from Steam to Hosted Server

hello in this video I'm going to show you how you can move your steam save file into the hosted server so for instance a dedicated server or a community server so my world is pretty simple I have a p box I have the working bench one lamp ball and a bed for my pal and we are going to try and move everything into my hosted server so of course we need to close our game and we're going to start by going to the save file that is on Steam we're going to use Windows and R key in order to open the uh this folder over here so use this text in order to immediately open the save files of PW now we're going to insert this folder with these numbers and in this folder you will find all World data that you have stored so far uh in this game and we are mostly concerned about the uh the most updated folder simply because this will be the newest so if you have just played on your your world then this is an easier the easiest way to determine which folder uh we are interested in this one is the newest so I'm going to use this one and over here what is important is that well we have a safe file or safe information about our player and that is stored as the zeros and one at the end and we will need to convert that into a proper ID uh otherwise if we simply just copy and paste this world uh onto the hosted server then we will lose access to everything we had so far so we are trying to fix that and here is what you need to do first of all we need python so we need to go to python.org SL downloads and over here we need to download the latest version uh of the Python so if you're on this website you can click on download Python and over here we need to Simply Save it and install it on our PC then we also need the uh Unreal Engine safe editor uh for the save files so we need to go to this link to this GitHub and uh of course you will find the link in the description once you are here you need to go to the right side of this website and then click on releases over here and now we need to download this uh the latest version and we can download the zip file so click on this name and we will start downloading this zip unzip the UI save to have it in a folder you can place it pretty much anywhere now we need to copy our world from our single player or local co-op so I'm going to copy this one and then I'm going to paste it onto the save game folder on the hosted server so I'm going to go to Pal saved save games zero and over here I already have one save file so I can just remove it uh and I'm going to paste this one over here now let's focus on the hosted server so I'm going to minimize this one this is the hosted server keep in mind uh we're going to go back a little bit and instead of going to save games we are going to config over here then Windows server and then we need to find a game user settings uh file so this one over here and then we're going to open it and uh use any text editor that we have in this file we will find dedicated server name and bunch of different characters we need to edit this one so let's go back to save games and we need to copy this uh this string of text over here this is the uh server name that we're going to paste so let's open the inii and let's replace it with this text over here and then save it in the save file we want to go in and we will find world option. saav we want to delete that file now we need to join our server so we are going back to to the folder where we have the executable and then we need to start the server keep in mind that when you join you will not be in your main character you will be creating a new one but that's completely fine we want to create a new character so in p word go join multiplayer game click okay and then at the bottom over here paste your IP and connect to the server so let's create our character and then we're going to check if the world is actually there so let's B right here and I think I can yeah I can see that my stuff is still there and as you can see of course I don't have everything I'm still level one and I don't have anything unlocked this is like a new start but my world is there so now we're going to fix that and we're going to get back our progress so let's close the game and let's close the server now we're going to go to the save game once again and we're going to go to players and then over here we will find now two sa files one is the previous one that we had before when we had uh our world in a co-op or in a single player and this is the multiplayer account that we just created so now we want to copy our save file so go back to this folder over here and then copy your world and paste it into this U Save folder that we created before like so also remember to create a backup this might not always work sometimes it might be bugged and in not every case can be successful so just keep in mind always have a backup now we need to open this GitHub website where we has a host save fix we're going to click on this P file over here and then we want to click on this download file uh icon click on that and then we want to save it in the U Save folder so this is where the file should be once we have that open the windows Powershell now we need to get the path to the USA folder so click over here then copy this link and then type CD space and then paste the path and press enter now we should have PS and the path that we just entered and now we need to use the python script so we're going to type Python and then name of this file over here so we can even copy it and paste it like so py and now after that we need to copy once again the link sorry the pad paste it over here but at slave. exe like so space then we need to paste the path once again slash and this time we're going to use the folder name over here so let's copy this name and paste it after this slash like so space then we go into our folder players and first we copy this new sa file that we just created not this 0000001 but the the other one copy it copy its name paste it space and then copy the uh the local Sav so the first one that we had before and paste it like so so this is the whole string this is how it should look like after that press enter we will see this warning message running the script will change your save files and could potentially corupt your data so this is what I said it is highly recommended that you make a backup of your same folder before continuing press enter if you would like to continue so we're going to press enter and now this script will change some things for us and in my case it was pretty quick uh but if your world is uh pretty huge and then it might take some time to actually complete it you might see this uh message changes have been made and nothing else after that so you need to be patient you need to wait until this the rest of it will be generated so Json files have been exported and so on and so forth and you will see the message fix has been applied have fun this is what you need to wait for once you see this we can close the Powershell now we're going to go back uh to the uh main UA folder and then we need to copy and paste this folder onto our host so over here I have this uh working uh well almost working um uh world that uh we were just in but without my main character so I'm going to delete it and then I'm going to paste it uh from the US save that has been uh converted so now when we go over here we go to players we should have only this sa file and nothing else and now we can go back and start the server once again once the server is running we can join it and that's pretty much it thanks for watching leave a like And subscribe to my Channel and see you my next videos bye
