NexLink Core - Game Config Data

Community-managed game server configuration data for the NexLink Core Panel. This repository powers the configuration options, mod mappings, and error detection in the server management panel.

Anyone can contribute! Submit a pull request to update configurations, add new mod creatures, flag new map mods, or add startup error patterns. An admin will review and merge your changes.

File Formats

game-ini/*.yaml — Game.ini Configuration Schema

Each YAML file defines the settings for one section of the Game.ini configuration editor. Files are numbered to control display order — rename the prefix to reorder sections.

# Example: 01-general-server.yaml
settings:
  - property: ServerMap          # INI property name
    label: Server Map            # Display name in the UI
    type: select                 # Input type: select, number, text, checkbox
    default: Island              # Default value
    helpText: The map to use     # Help text shown to users
    section: "[/Script/PathOfTitans.IGameSession]"  # INI section
    accordion: General Server Settings  # UI grouping
    accordionOrder: 0            # Group display order
    order: 0                     # Setting display order within group
    options:                     # For select type only
      - Island
      - Panjura

Supported types: select, number, text, checkbox

Optional fields: min, max, step (for numbers), options (for selects), repeatable, fullWidth, dependsOn

To add a new setting: Edit the appropriate section file and add a new entry to the settings array.

To reorder sections: Rename the number prefix (e.g., rename 05- to 03- to move it earlier).

To add a new section: Create a new numbered YAML file (e.g., 17-new-section.yaml) with the same format.

palworld/settings/*.yaml — Palworld Settings Schema

Same YAML format as the Path of Titans game-ini/*.yaml files, but the settings map into Palworld's single OptionSettings=(...) line under [/Script/Pal.PalGameWorldSettings] in PalWorldSettings.ini. You only list each property (the OptionSettings key) — the panel's Palworld parser handles packing them into that line.

# Example: palworld/settings/02-world.yaml
name: World & Progression
settings:
  - property: ExpRate
    section: "[/Script/Pal.PalGameWorldSettings]"
    label: EXP Rate
    type: number
    default: 1
    step: 0.1
    min: 0.1
    max: 20
    helpText: Multiplier for all experience gained.

Server variables vs. OptionSettings: entries tagged configType: server-variable are Pterodactyl startup variables (Server Name, passwords, Max Players, Auto Update), not OptionSettings.

⚠ Do not add OptionSettings for ServerName, ServerDescription, ServerPassword, AdminPassword, ServerPlayerMaxNum, PublicPort, or the RCON fields. The server image's PalworldServerConfigParser injects those into PalWorldSettings.ini from the startup variables on every boot, so any value set in the .ini editor would be overwritten. They are exposed as startup variables instead.

---

server-variables-schema.yaml

Defines server startup variables (like server name, slots, password).

serverVariables:
  - property: SERVER_NAME        # Variable name
    label: Server Name           # Display name
    type: text                   # text or number
    default: My Server           # Default value
    helptext: Your server name   # Help text
    accordion: Server Settings   # UI grouping
    accordionOrder: 0
    order: 0

Same field types as game-ini files but uses serverVariables: as the root key.

---

map-mods.txt

Simple list of mod SKUs that are map replacement mods (one per line). These mods appear in the ServerMap dropdown instead of the regular Mods tab.

# Mods listed here appear in the ServerMap dropdown
UGC_M_Y250G15EVZ_SK
UGC_M_DYV7XD5EGX_SK

To add a new map mod: Add the mod's SKU on a new line.

---

mod-creatures.csv

Maps mod creature names to their author/mod pack and SKU. Used by the Growth Calculator to filter creatures by enabled mods.

creature,author,sku
AbsentiaAcro,Absentia,UGC_M_NV57RV2EJD_SK
Camarasaurus,Ancient Gods,UGC_M_DYV7XQ60GX_SK

To add a new creature: Add a new row with CreatureName,AuthorName,SKU.

startup-errors.json

Patterns matched against server console output during startup. When a match is found, users see the configured warning/error message.

[
  {
    "id": "pot-restricted-mod",
    "patternSource": "Mod .* is restricted",
    "message": "A restricted mod was detected. Remove it from your mod list.",
    "severity": "error",
    "helpUrl": "https://docs.example.com/restricted-mods",
    "games": ["path-of-titans"]
  }
]

Fields:

• id - Unique identifier (use pot- prefix for Path of Titans)
• patternSource - Regex pattern to match in console output (escape special characters)
• message - User-friendly message shown when pattern matches
• severity - "error", "warning", or "info"
• helpUrl - (optional) Link to documentation or help page
• games - Array of game IDs this pattern applies to

Contributing

1. Fork this repository
2. Edit the relevant file(s)
3. Submit a pull request with a description of your changes
4. An admin will review and merge

Guidelines

• Keep YAML files properly indented (2 spaces)
• Keep JSON files valid (use a linter if unsure)
• For mod creatures, use the exact creature name as it appears in-game
• For startup errors, test your regex pattern against real console output
• One change per pull request when possible (easier to review)

Finding SKUs

Mod SKUs follow the pattern UGC_M_<CODE>_SK. You can find them:

• In your GameUserSettings.ini under [ServerGameMode]
• In the mod details on the Alderon Games mod browser
• In the server's Mods tab in the panel

How It Works

The NexLink Core Panel fetches these files directly from this repository (via raw.githubusercontent.com). Changes are cached for up to 1 hour, and admins can manually refresh the cache from the panel.

This means your contributions are live within an hour of being merged, with no code deployment needed.
