Repository for my Palworld server infra and data

PalWorld

Palworld is an upcoming action-adventure, survival, and monster-taming game created and published by Japanese developer Pocket Pair. The game is set in an open world populated with animal-like creatures called "Pals", which players can battle and capture to use for base building, traversal, and combat.

Infra

Hardware

Raspberry Pi 4B 8Go

Install

Tools

sudo apt install python3-pip
sudo apt install python-is-python3
pip install RPi.GPIO

Docker

# Add Docker's official GPG key:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ca-certificates curl
sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
sudo curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc

# Add the repository to Apt sources:
echo \
  "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
  $(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME") stable" | \
  sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin

sudo docker run hello-world

Data

Migrate data from Xbox Game Pass (XGP) to Dedicated Server

1. Retreive the data from XGP using : XGP-save-extractor
2. Create new map launching the dedicated server
3. Once the files are created, stop the server
4. Replace Players/, Level.sav and LevelMeta.sav from the export to the new map
5. Launch the server, connect, create a new character and check that you're in your saved map
6. Stop the server
7. Install the tools :

   pip install palworld-save-tools
   git clone https://github.com/xNul/palworld-host-save-fix

8. Then proceed to replace the character you've created earlier by you previous character : python fix-host-save.py <save_path> <new_guid> <old_guid> <guild_fix>
   Exemple :python tools/palworld-host-save-fix/fix-host-save.py palworld/Pal/Saved/SaveGames/0/902FD5E141B8440C8102A2ED95AD03E9/ 8AB82DD5000000000000000000000000 0B420F96000000000000000000000000 True
9. Replace your local datas

Scripts

Fan control PWM

1. Ensuring the GPIO lib is isntalled : pip freeze | grep RPi.GPIO
2. Creating a systemd service file : sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/pwm_fan_control.service
3. Add :

   [Unit]
   Description=My Python Script Service
   After=network.target
   
   [Service]
   User=palpi
   ExecStart=/usr/bin/python /home/palpi/palpi/scripts/pwm_fan_control.py
   WorkingDirectory=/home/palpi/palpi/scripts
   StandardOutput=null
   StandardError=null
   
   [Install]
   WantedBy=multi-user.target

4. Reloading systemctl : sudo systemctl daemon-reload
5. Enabling our service : sudo systemctl enable pwm_fan_control.service
6. Starting our service : sudo systemctl start pwm_fan_control.service
7. Checking our service : sudo systemctl status pwm_fan_control.service

TIPS :

• You can stress the CPU to increase the temp with fulload() { dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null | dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null | dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null | dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null & }; fulload; read; killall dd The more | dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null the higher it will reach
• You can check the temp with vcgencmd measure_temp|sed 's/[^0-9.]//g'
