Valheim Mod Version Check

About

A simple over-engineered discord bot that reads mod versions from a logfile and checks those against the Thunderstore API and the Nexus API.

Quick Usage

Invite this bot to your server using this link.

Uploaded BepInEx log files are automatically parsed and responded.

Additional commands are available:

• /thunderstore_mods [search]: sends a list of all parsed mods, used by the bot to check log file
• /postlog: sends instructions where to find the log file
• /find_faulty: sends instructions on how to find a broken mod

API

In addition to the Discord bot, the extracted information is also available as a REST-API. Note that currently only an experimental API is provided which returns the internal data and may change at any point. Feel free to make automated requests as long as you do not abuse it.

Deploy Your Own Bot

If you want to host your own bot, the easiest way is to use docker-compose.

version: "3.3"
services:
  app:
    image: maxschmoecker/valheim-mod-version-check:latest
    environment:
      - PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1
      - DISCORD_TOKEN={your-bot-token}
      - NEXUS_API_KEY={your-nexus-api-key}
      - DECOMPILE_THUNDERSTORE_MODS=false
    volumes:
      - ./data:/app/data/

Decompiling Thunderstore Mods

If the DECOMPILE_THUNDERSTORE_MODS environment variable is set to false, only the Thunderstore API will be used. If the variable is set to true, the bot will automatically download, decompile and extract BepInEx metadata like BepInEx name and version. This greatly improves the mod detection as mod names and versions often don't match exactly (even after removing spaces, underscores, etc). Only the latest version of each mod is downloaded and the result is cached but the initial phase can take some time as each available mod has to be downloaded first. The bot will check every hour to see if new mods should be downloaded.

This means that mod downloads are handled in advance and are independent of log requests.

Development
