CityBuilder Beta Tracker

Add-on for beta testers of Valheim City Builder (RustyProductions). Needs Valheim City Builder 1.8.0 or newer with World Edit, which r2modman installs with the tracker. With an older version the tracker stays off.

What it does

• Notices when you really use a feature of the mod (hire a hero, level ground, send an expedition …).
• Notes the game mode: singleplayer, multiplayer (host or client) or dedicated server.
• Sends that with your tester name to the beta website: https://valheimcitybuilder.com/beta
• The first time you use a feature in a game mode, a popup asks how it went: Works (or PageUp) sends your verdict, Problem (or PageDown) opens a note field. Later keeps it for the list. The keys work while you play, the buttons whenever the mouse is free.
• F9 opens a list of all features. Green = you used it in this mode. Works / Problem sends your verdict, with an optional note.

Taking part

1. Install this tracker in r2modman: Online tab, search "CityBuilder Beta Tracker". r2modman installs Valheim City Builder along with it.
2. Testing a test build from 1Day2Die? Import it (r2modman → Settings → Profile → Import local mod) and disable the official Valheim City Builder package while you test, both are the same mod.
3. Start the game. Your Steam name becomes your tester name automatically. To use another name, press F9 and change it, or set Name in BepInEx/config/1day2die.citybuilder.betatracker.cfg. Without Steam, press F9 and enter a name.
4. Play. The tracker registers you on first contact and sends every minute. Your results show on the website once 1Day2Die has approved you; nothing gets lost before that.

To keep the Steam name out, set UseSteamName = false in the [Tester] section of the config file. Then nothing is sent until you enter a name yourself.

Popups, their keys and how long they stay can be changed in the [Popup] section of the config file.

What is sent

Your tester name (by default your Steam name), the feature id, mod and Valheim version, the game mode, how often, and your verdicts and notes. No save games, positions, Steam ids or anything else. Nothing is sent while no tester name is set. On a dedicated server the tracker is not needed; it does nothing there.
