Changelog

0.4.18

• Removes the PalPlayerState:GetPlayerInfoForMap hook entirely after reproducible UE4SS crashes while opening the map with a party active.
• Adds a separate non-interactive UMG map layer with a green dot and player name, driven by replicated CachedPlayerLocation.
• Updates only while the map is open, avoiding background native scans and reducing stutter.
• Keeps the normal Palworld map controls underneath the overlay.
• Removes the unsafe controller:GetPlayerState() identity fallback.

0.4.17

• Fixes native map visibility by supplying a complete live map record in the pre-hook instead of editing the already-filtered return value.
• Uses replicated CachedPlayerLocation and CachedPlayerRotation, so remote pawn transforms are not touched while the map opens.
• Keeps the party member's name and sets Palworld's native green bIsFriend flag.
• Removes the unsafe generated controller:GetPlayerState() fallback that could call a null native object during replication.

0.4.16

• Prevents the global left-mouse hook from running during normal gameplay.
• Coalesces rapid overlay clicks before they are queued on the game thread.
• Keeps the native map marker hook and party-marker behavior unchanged.
• Adds a clear runtime version line for this stability build.

0.4.15

• Emergency stability fix for the live map hook.
• Stops rewriting the native player name string inside the map return value.
• Keeps Palworld's own name and live transform and only changes the friend flag.
• Corrects the runtime version diagnostic so the loaded version is visible in the log.

0.4.14

• Reduces online-player scans to one background scan about every five seconds.
• Refreshes the player list once when the overlay opens instead of scanning during every UI update.
• Prevents duplicate scans caused by ui_update() and the UI refresh loop both enumerating PalPlayerState objects.
• Throttles diagnostic scan logging to avoid frequent synchronous log-file writes and intermittent frame stalls.

0.4.13

• Reworks the map integration to use UE4SS's post-hook return-value pattern.
• Preserves Palworld's native live transform instead of returning a hand-built Lua table.
• Marks accepted party members with Palworld's native bIsFriend flag for the green dot and keeps their name visible.
• Adds diagnostics showing when the native map function is called and when a green party marker is written.
• Removes the unsafe pawn/transform construction from the map hook.

0.4.12

• Replaces the direct EnterChat_Receive UE4SS call with Palworld's safer PalPlayerState.EnterChat entry point.
• Avoids the native game-thread abort observed immediately after sending a party invitation on the affected Palworld build.
• Logs whether a valid local PlayerState was found and whether Palworld accepted the chat message.

0.4.11

• Uses Palworld's real PalPlayerController.EnterChat_Receive(FString, Category) server RPC for cross-client party messages.
• Fixes remote invite delivery: the invited player now receives a pending invitation instead of the invite being lost locally.
• Adds diagnostics for incoming party chat, chat transport and pending invitations.
• An invitation is only a request; the invited player must click Accepteren before appearing in the party roster.

0.4.10

• Rebuilds the overlay automatically when its UMG widget becomes invalid after a profile reload or world transition.
• Logs the Y readiness result so a failed open is visible immediately in PalParty.log.

0.4.9

• Resolves the local player through PalPlayerController and its PlayerState when GetPlayer() is empty, fixing party creation and marker toggling on affected Palworld sessions.
• Sends party chat through the local controller as a fallback and logs the resolved local sender.
• Tries the active mod directory and direct file loading for config.lua.
• Uses the safe widget color method for the editable party-code text.

0.4.8

• Loads the installed config.lua from the package directory, so Language = "en", "de", "fr" or "es" is applied instead of silently using the embedded default.
• Replaced the unsupported editable-box background calls with a native editable text widget over a black UMG background and white text.
• Added click-position diagnostics and a forgiving fallback hit area for Party maken on viewport layouts that report a shifted mouse position.

0.4.7

• Removed direct native UButton.OnClicked delegate binding after crash logs showed the overlay dying during UMG creation in UE4SS.
• Restored the stable global mouse hit-test path for all clickable buttons.
• Kept the local party-command fix, black input field, multilingual text and icon from 0.4.6.

0.4.6

• Fixed the clickable Party maken action by applying the command locally before sending it through global chat.
• Added a native UMG click binding with the existing mouse hit-test fallback.
• Changed the party-code field to a black background with white text and hint text.
• Added Dutch, English, German, French and Spanish overlay/chat translations through Language in config.lua.
• Updated the Thunderstore description and package icon.

0.4.5

• Fixed invisible overlay text caused by passing an incomplete FSlateFontInfo to SetFont.
• Preserves Palworld's existing valid font asset and only adjusts its size when the widget exposes it.

0.4.4

• Redesigned the overlay with a Palworld-style dark navy, cyan and blue UI palette.
• Added responsive viewport sizing, smaller readable fonts, spacing and row limits so text no longer overlaps or runs off-screen.
• Added a clear close button and improved party-code input focus handling.
• Switched the open menu to UI-only input mode and blocks movement/look input while open, preventing Palworld keybinds from firing behind the menu.

0.4.3

• Fixed the controller lookup for Palworld/UE4SS. The previous build called a nonexistent global GetPlayerController() function, so the hidden UI bootstrap and delayed Y registration never ran.
• Uses the local player's GetPalPlayerController() method with a PalPlayerController lookup fallback.

0.4.2

• Initializes the native UMG interface hidden as soon as the player controller is ready, so UI construction errors are visible in the diagnostic log before pressing Y.
• Registers input after player-controller readiness instead of only during early mod startup.
• Logs the complete Y path: key callback, game-thread dispatch, action request and UI open/close.

0.4.1

• Fixed a startup failure where UE4SS could not resolve scripts/config.lua through the shimloader virtual path.
• Added embedded safe defaults and protected optional config loading, so the mod can register the Y overlay even when the external config path is unavailable.
• Added a diagnostic log entry showing whether the optional config was loaded.

0.4.0

• Replaced the F-key interface with a clickable in-game overlay opened with Y.
• Added online-player list, party invitations, accept/decline inbox and leader kick controls.
• Added PalParty.log diagnostics with input, UI, chat, map and error events.
• Fixed the map hook to return live FPalPlayerInfoForMap data from PalPlayerState.

0.3.1

• Fixed the config path for the Thunderstore shimloader profile. The mod now loads scripts/config.lua correctly through the virtual profile mapping.

0.3.0

• Added a native Palworld in-game party interface.
• Added F6 to open/close the interface.
• Added F2 create, F3 join, F4 list, F5 leave, F7 marker toggle and Ctrl+K kick shortcuts.
• Added a live party roster, leader label and marker status panel.
• Added a party-code/player-name input field to the interface.

0.2.0

• Fixed the UE4SS chat hook registration.
• Fixed map hook registration and added the current PalPlayerController map hook.
• Changed commands to the safe !party prefix.
• Added chat confirmations.
• Added !party list with leader labels.
• Added leader-only !party kick <player name>.
• Added leader promotion when a leader leaves.
• Kept native map transforms for live position refreshes.

0.1.0
