Unlocking Advanced Server-Side Modding

The Unreal Engine 4 Scripting System (UE4SS) is the fundamental technical framework required for executing sophisticated server-side scripts in Palworld. By injecting logic directly into the game engine, UE4SS enables the use of Lua and C++ modifications that can implement custom anti-cheat measures, increase player slot limits beyond native constraints, and introduce complex new mechanics to your community. This guide walk you through the professional installation and configuration of the UE4SS framework on the FREAKHOSTING platform.

​
Technical Installation Workflow

UE4SS must be situated within the server’s binary core to function correctly.
1

Acquire Latest Assets

Download the primary distribution (typically UE4SS_v3.x.x.zip) from the official UE4SS technical repository.
2

Navigate to Binaries

In the Game Panel File Manager, browse to the following directory: /Pal/Binaries/Win64/
3

Deploy Framework Files

Upload and extract the ZIP contents into this directory. Upon completion, you should observe dwmapi.dll, UE4SS.dll, and a specialized Mods/ folder within the Win64 path.
4

Configure Headless Mode

Open the UE4SS-settings.ini file. Locate the GuiConsoleVisible parameter and ensure it is set to 0.
If GuiConsoleVisible remains set to 1, the server will attempt to initialize a visual window on the host node, resulting in an immediate process crash.

​
Activating Custom Modifications

Once the framework is initialized, follow this procedure to enable individual community-made scripts.
1

Deploy Mod Assets

Upload your specific mod folder into the /Pal/Binaries/Win64/Mods/ directory.
2

Update the Registry

Open the mods.txt file situated within the same folder.
3

Authorize Execution

Input the exact name of your mod folder followed by a binary toggle: ModFolderName : 1.
  • Example: PalGuard : 1
