palog's Issues

Error after starting with Docker

Hello,

I"m getting this error on my Palworld Linux server

ERROR failed to get players error="failed to connect to 127.0.0.1:25575: rcon: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:25575: connect: connection refused"

I have both RCONEnabled=True,RCONPort=25575 settings in my /home/steam/Steam/steamapps/common/PalServer/Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/PalWorldSettings.ini

and if i inspect the container i see

            "Env": [
                "RCON_ENDPOINT=127.0.0.1:25575",
                "RCON_PASSWORD=mypassword",
                "PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"
            ],

FYI:

• palog is on the same host as the server.
• I'm able to run RCON commands from my Windows machine via ARRCON
• i started the palog with docker run --name palog -e RCON_ENDPOINT=127.0.0.1:25575 -e RCON_PASSWORD=mypass ghcr.io/miscord-dev/palog:v0.0.5

Could you please help me out to get this container to work?
Thanks a lot :)

ShowPlayers doesn't return the full response

tsuzu@Tsuzus-MacBook-Pro ~ % rcon -a "10.23.0.1:30970" -p "..." -T 1s ShowPlayers
name,playeruid,steamid
...
cli: execute: rcon: read tcp 192.168.1.67:62095->10.23.0.1:30970: i/o timeout

The response of ShowPlayers drops the last 10~ bytes.
The server seems to forget to flush the stream....

As a workaround, I ignored steam id.

Palog: connection refused RCON breaking change update

I think rcon is now using different way to connect
Please update.

the new commandline is:
rcon -a YOURIP:PORT -p PASSWORD command

Non-ASCII characters are corrupted

I'm a Japanese.

Packet capture

05 → A
6d → [
80 → "
84 → !
85 → a
89 → b
8d → c
f9 → ~
c0 → 0
c4 → 4

With Japanese

04 01 A
84 01 a
c1 04 → ぁ
c1 08 → あ
c1 10 → い
bc 5d 漢
6d 01 字

ぁ might 04 c1

encoding rule might be floor(x / 64) + (x - floor(x / 64) * 64) * 4
It follows ascii-code, but not obvious for Japanese

[Help] How to use it?

Hi,
I'm using Linux server, which directory should I put this binary in?
