PalEdit 1.0 - Updates for Palworld 1.0 - Addition of some Requested Community Features

[TheMysticTurtle]

Hey man, i loved your mod and wanted to see it working in palworld 1.0 with some of your requested community changes.
I hope you like it! I've been testing it out on my saves (only global palbox so far) and it's been working great.

Contributions summary below:

Changes in this fork

Fork of EternalWraith/PalEdit, updated for the Palworld 1.0 release and
extended with editor features and save-safety fixes. Each item below is a
self-contained branch merged into main, so changes can be cherry-picked
individually.

Palworld 1.0 support

• Read and write the 1.0 save format (Oodle-compressed PlM, save type
  0x31), preserving the original compression on save.
• Load GlobalPalStorage.sav (the 1.0 Global Palbox), not just Level.sav.
• Fix every pal failing to load in 1.0 saves (1.0 writes IsPlayer: false on
  each pal; detection now checks the value instead of key presence).
• Refresh all game data for 1.0: new species, movesets, stat scaling, work
  suitabilities, attacks, and passive skills, plus new-pal icons.
• Raise the level cap to 80 and add the rank-5 passive tier.

Editor features

• Add, clone, and delete pals in the Global Palbox. Newly added pals start as a
  default species and can be re-typed from there. (I picked a turtle for this because I am the mystic turtle, you can change this as you see fit but it'd tickle me to death if you left it in. :D)
• Edit pal nicknames (updates both NickName and the 1.0 FilteredNickName).
• Searchable attack picker with a tier toggle (learnset / fruit-teachable /
  all), element filter, and damage sort.
• Searchable passive picker grouped by effect (Attack, Defense, Work, etc.),
  with a per-passive effect description and a natural-only / all toggle.
• Automatic save backup: the loaded save is copied to a PalEdit-backups
  folder before the first write of each editing session.
• Hide the stale-player warning when editing the Global Palbox, where it does
  not apply.

Fixes

• Fix work-suitability corruption. Pals lost their farming/grazing/kindling
  behaviour because opening and saving injected a zero-rank entry into
  GotWorkSuitabilityAddRankList for every suitability (13 phantom entries
  per pal). Zero-rank entries are now pruned on load and never written; a
  suitability entry is created only for a real, non-zero bonus. Loading a
  previously affected save and re-saving removes the phantom entries.
• Fix work suitabilities "flip-flopping" between pals: on selecting a pal, the
  suitability controls set their value before their minimum, so a stale
  minimum from the previous pal could clamp and later write a wrong value. The
  range is now set before the value, and the write-back is skipped during
  selection refresh.

Update — Palworld 1.0 support, Global Palbox management, and save-safety fixes

This brings PalEdit from v0.12.1 (pre-1.0) up to the Palworld 1.0 save format,
adds Global Palbox editing and a batch of editor features, and fixes several
sources of save corruption. Each item was built as its own branch and merged to
main, so anything here can be reviewed or cherry-picked individually.

Palworld 1.0 support

• Read/write the 1.0 save format (Oodle-compressed PlM, save type 0x31),
  preserving the original compression on save.
• Load GlobalPalStorage.sav (the 1.0 Global Palbox) in addition to Level.sav.
• Fix all pals failing to load from 1.0 saves (see bugs below).
• Regenerate bundled game data for 1.0: species, movesets, stat scaling, work
  suitabilities, attacks, passives, and icons. Level cap raised to 80; rank-5
  passive tier supported.

New features

• Global Palbox management — add, clone, and delete pals; edit nicknames
  (writes both NickName and the 1.0 FilteredNickName).
• Attack picker — search by name, filter by element, sort by damage, and
  toggle between natural learnset / fruit-teachable / all attacks.
• Passive picker — search, group by effect (Attack, Defense, Work,
  Movement, Utility, Other), toggle natural-only vs all, with accurate
  descriptions generated from each passive's effects, shown on hover.
• Pal-list filter bar — name/species search, element, and category.
• Species browser — searchable, with element / category / work-suitability /
  NPC-type filters; rows show the internal code so catchable NPCs and merchants
  are identifiable by name. (Editing NPCs/merchants works within PalEdit; using
  them in-game is experimental — see bugs below.)
• Work-suitability editing 0–10 — with grey/green/red feedback: grey at the
  species base, green when raised within the normal cap, red in the excessive
  6–10 range.
• Stats/potential popup — current stats vs the level standard, plus IV, soul
  and condensation contributions.
• Custom named passive presets — build and save passive sets, then stamp
  them onto pals.
• Automatic per-session save backup — the loaded save is copied into a
  PalEdit-backups folder before the first write of each session (one backup
  per loaded save per session).

Fixes

A no-edit open→save is now a semantic no-op, verified by a field-by-field diff
of every pal. The following remove data the older behavior wrote that either
doesn't belong in 1.0 or actively broke things:

• Stop writing the obsolete CraftSpeeds field.
• Stop writing zero-rank GotWorkSuitabilityAddRankList entries; prune existing
  ones on load; only create an entry for a real, non-zero suitability bonus.
• Fix work-suitability "flip-flopping" between pals on selection.
• Stop dumping the full learnset into MasteredWaza; preserve actual mastered
  attacks.
• Stop writing the pre-1.0 Talent_Melee IV (1.0 uses a single attack IV).
• Fix list selection landing on the wrong pal after a species change.

Loading a previously-affected save and re-saving cleans out the obsolete/phantom
data automatically.

Bugs encountered, and the fixes above that address them

• Every pal failed to load from 1.0 saves. 1.0 writes IsPlayer: false on
  every pal, and the old code treated the presence of the IsPlayer key as
  "this is a player," so all pals were skipped. Now it checks the value.
• Pals were grazing that shouldn't be. In-game, pals with no ranch/grazing
  work suitability were still being sent to graze (idling on a ranch, producing
  nothing). A field-by-field diff of a no-edit open→save showed the cause:
  simply opening and saving a box injected phantom data into every pal —
  CraftSpeeds, ~13 zero-rank suitability entries per pal (286 across a 22-pal
  box), the full learnset into MasteredWaza, and Talent_Melee. The extra
  suitability entries in particular interfered with in-game work assignment.
  This is addressed by the four "stop writing / prune on load" fixes above.
  Confirmed resolved in practice: after the corrections, re-saving the box
  cleaned out the phantom data, and reloading all the pals back into the world
  from the Global Palbox stopped the erroneous grazing.
• Work suitabilities copying between pals. On selection, the suitability
  spinbox received its new value before its minimum range was updated, so a
  stale minimum from the previously selected pal clamped the value and a later
  click wrote the wrong rank back. Fixed by updating each control's range before
  its value and skipping write-back during selection refresh.
• Selection jumping to the wrong pal after a species change. The list
  refresh set the new selection without clearing the old one, leaving two rows
  selected. Fixed so a refresh selects exactly one row (this also keeps a clone
  on the pal it was cloned from).
• Rank-5 passives could crash the passive color lookup. 1.0 added a rank-5
  tier the color table didn't account for; the missing tier was added.
• Caught merchants/NPCs. This was an incomplete-data issue in the editor:
  the refreshed 1.0 data now includes all NPC and merchant character types, so
  they load, display, edit, and save correctly in PalEdit. However, actually
  using an edited merchant in-game is not fully working — dragging one out of
  the box into the world still errors on a multiplayer server. It may behave
  differently in single-player, but that's untested. Treat NPC/merchant editing
  as experimental for now.

The 1.0 field model and save behavior were cross-checked against
oMaN-Rod/palworld-save-pal throughout. Testing so far has focused on the
Global Palbox workflow (load, edit, add/clone/delete, save, reload in-game, and
no-edit round-trip comparisons); as with any save editor I'd still recommend
keeping normal backups while reviewing.

Hello!

After extensive in-game testing and edge-case checks, I was able to resolve all bugs encountered and confirm the updated editor is functioning cleanly with Palworld 1.0.

I also updated the README and revised the commit documentation to make the full change set easier to review. I force-pushed the branch so the earlier commit entries could be replaced with clearer, more detailed descriptions.

A release has also been published on my fork for easy download, testing, and general use.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns, or identify any additional failure cases.
