palworld-save-tools

Tools for converting PalWorld .sav files to JSON and back.

Caution

Any versions older than v0.4 will create corrupt Level.sav files when converting from JSON to SAV. Please make sure to update to avoid data corruption.

This tool currently supports additional parsing of the following data not handled by uesave:

1. Level.sav:GroupSaveDataMap
   • Groups such as in-game organizations and guilds
2. Level.sav:CharacterSaveParameterMap
   • Characters such as players and pals

Converting co-op saves to dedicated server saves

Important

Converting Level.sav files to JSON will result in very large files, and may require significant amounts of RAM to process. Use a modern text editor such as Visual Studio Code or a Jetbrains IDE to open these files.

Prerequisites

1. Python. This can be installed from the Windows Store.

Windows steps

1. Download the latest release from [https://github.com/cheahjs/palworld-save-tools/releases/latest].
2. Unzip the file into a folder.
3. Drag and drop your .sav file (for Steam on Windows, these are located at %LOCALAPPDATA%\Pal\Saved\SaveGames\<SteamID>\<SaveID>) onto convert-single-sav-to-json.bat.
4. To convert the .sav.json file back into a .sav file, drag and drop your .sav.json file onto convert-single-json-to-sav.bat.
