[STABLE] 0.8.5

Settings System

We have adapted a new system to load settings from the config file that now properly loads default values on error.
We are working on improving this system further in quality of life for the users.

UNIX Server & BepInEx

This release will contain a different version of BepInEx than the last that combats the issue of not being able to shut down the server appropriately and had issues with SIGINT. You will have to adjust the launch script for UNIX yourself. If you know what you are doing, you will be fine, it has been tested by us in advance. We cannot supply any support for unix unless you are involved with a server hosting company.

[STABLE] 0.8

General

This version marks the first version that we are confident in saying that its the most stable and reliable that we have been able to provide yet.
There should be minor issues, at worst.

Changelog 0.8

• Added experience gained notifications at the top left.

• V+ is now supporting Linux.
  NOTE
  Please keep in mind that this is the first version of unix support we are offering. We ask you to be considerate of it. Please note that we do not offer assistance in installation or are willing to explain to you how you can install this mod on your rented unix server. Please contact your respective server hoster for that.
  WE DO NOT OFFER SUPPORT IN INSTALLING VALHEIM PLUS ON UNIX
  IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING THIS PACKAGE IS ENOUGH TO GET IT TO WORK

• Fixed issues related to players not receiving health regeneration from food.

• Fixed issues in weird AEM and ABM messages being dispatched to close proximity players.

• Added additional error handling to AEM and ABM, these building modes should be fairly stable and reliable now.

• Fixed several duping issues with AEM. If you encounter any method of duplicating build objects, please report them in detail, even though they are most likely linked to the network structure of valheim.

Github Release Annotations

[STABLE]

From 0.8 onwards every release will be marked by as stable if it has been extensively tested and contains zero or almost no known issues.
These versions are extensively tested and try to make sure that they are suited for a broader scale application for servers and users a like.

[UNSTABLE]

If a stable release turns out to contain game breaking bugs or severe issues that impact the game in a negative way, the release will be renamed to be called [UNSTABLE] and you can expect a new stable version within the shortest possible timespan.

[EXPERIMENTAL]

Releases that potentially contain issues will be marked as [EXPERIMENTAL].
These versions are most likely not going to be ever seen on this repository publicly but I wanted to mention it non the less.

Version Enforcement Changes

About

This version contains additional options regarding version control.
Since a lot of people seemingly had problems in understanding it.

New Server Config & Version Control

• If you have enforceConfiguration and enforceMod enabled, only people with the same configuration and mod version can join your server and you can only join servers with the same mod and configuration.
• If you have enforceConfiguration and enforceMod disabled, you can join every server including vanilla ones as long as they allow you to. (Meaning they have either no v+ mod installed or enforceMod disabled)
• If you have enforceConfiguration disabled and enforceMod enabled, you will be able to join every server with v+ installed as long as its the same version.

Stable Release 0.7

About

This version should be the first to not contain any issues with the provided features.
If you are interested in having access to pre-release versions, please join out discord.

New Server Config & Version Control

Nobody will able to join any V+ server's without the exact same mod version AND mod configuration!
The server and every user that wants to join must have the exact same Configuration file settings.
This is intentional and you can turn off only the option to enforce the same client configuration as the server.
People will still need v+ installed from now onwards to play on v+ servers, even without enforced configuration.
THIS HAS BEEN CHANGED IN 0.7B+ !

enforceConfiguration=true
; enforce every user trying to join your game or server to have the same mod configuration.
; NOTE: if people want to join your server with a custom configuration, they need to set this setting to false as well.

enforceMod=true
; enforce every user to atleast have the mod installed when connecting to the server
; turn this off to remove version restrictions from your client and from your server
; if you turn this off you can join vanilla servers, if you turn this off you cannot join modded servers with this enabled or enforceConfiguration enabled.
; this setting overwrites enforceConfiguration

Changelog

• New Server and Configuration version control.
  After this release you are also no longer able to join any V+ server's without the exact same mod version AND mod configuration.
  The server and every user that wants to join must have the exact same Configuration file settings.

• Refactored AEM, ABM into their own proper respective classes with a clear structure.
  This should result in a much more stable and error proof enviroment.

• AEM now drops all items from a Container before placing it with the modified new position/rotation.
  This should fix the issue of loosing items in containers when moving them

• AEM & ABM now show user UI indicators when they are running.
  Example : https://imgur.com/gex5KIy

• AEM & ABM now both provide options to increase and decrease rotation speeds.
  Use numpad plus and minus to either increase or decrease the speeds, press SHIFT in addition to raise/lower by 10 instead of 1.

• The option to disable weather damage now properly prevents weather damage instead of every damage to buildings.

• Food configuration related issues are all resolved.

• Default values have been adjusted to properly represent the games default values.
  There has also been added a valheim_plus_default.cfg to have a reference when loading settings

• Added stamina jump usage configuration

About Game Updates

Game updates are unlikely to do more than partially break ValheimPlus. In case you encounter any issues, use Steam's verify integrity feature- wait for it to download/update all files and then simply unpack the valheim_Data folder from the downloaded package into your game folder again. This should resolve any issues related.

About Client Installation

Download the .zip file and extract it into your game root folder. (Example: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Valheim")
More on how to install in this video https://youtu.be/ksicwC2kOpE

About Sever Installation

If you want to host a server, you can repeat the usual process of installing the mod just like you would do for your game except that you have to rename the folder valheim_Data to valheim_server_Data before unpacking/moving the files to the server directory.
Please be aware that EVERY client(user) that connects needs to have the mod installed to have everything working as intended, in addition to any version after 0.7 of Valheim Plus it will prevent anyone not having the mod from joining modded servers. It will also prevent modded clients from joining unmodded servers.

Advanced Editing Mode and more!

New Features

• Added Stamina Section/Modifiers
• Added Advanced Editing Mode. Video https://imgur.com/DMb4ZUv.mp4
• Option to disable camera shake
• Option to modify the maximum placement distance of objects in build mode
• Kiln can now have a adjusted maximum number of wood
• A version check on game start to see if the plugin has the newest version.

A quick note

This release is severely more stable than any previous one, more tested than the previous one and there is very few things that might be able to go wrong. However I am sorry for every inconvenience that some of my mistakes/bugs might cause for server owners or in general. I do not have people on hand at the moment to test these uploaded versions on a larger and thorough scale. I will change this before the next 0.7 release and make sure that the public releases in the future will be extensively tested and are as stable and reliable as possible.
Thanks to everyone who has left me kind words!

Release 0.5 - Advanced Building Mode

Changelog

• Advanced Building Mode has been added.

Advanced Building Mode

How it works.

1. You freeze the item by pressing the configurated key (F1 is default).
2. You can modify the items position and rotation with the following key combinations:

• Arrow Up/Down/Left/Right = moves the building object in the respective direction.
• Arrow Up/Down + Control = moves the building object up and down
• ScrollWheel = rotates the building object on the Y axis.
• ScrollWheel + Control = rotates the building object on the X axis.
• ScrollWheel + left Alt = rotates the building object on the Z axis.
  (Pressing Shift at any moment in time increases the distance/rotation angle by *3)

3. Build the object with a mouse click.
