Features

Everything listed below is a feature in the mod. The config values dictate the GLOBAL defaults for these values. Admins can change the individual options via the GUI per ward.

• Easy to use GUI interface for admins to configure wards (and owners, in a limited GUI interface, if server allows via config)
• Enforced Config with server (besides client custom configs)
• Built in readiness for our Guilds mod when it releases
• Server version checking, must have mod & must be same version as server
• Default wards removed, players cannot build it anymore. Any vanilla wards will be "off" by default.
• Multiple ward models (including legacy BetterWards models)
• Add players to the permitted list no matter where they are in the world. (As long as they are online)
• Ward Limiting with VIP option for those special players that you want to allow more wards for (configured on the server and found in General section, thanks KG!)
  • wardIsLoveData is where the ward limit information is stored. Found in BepInEx/config folder. Keyed to SteamIDs
  • Ward "Charging" to deactivate ward after {x} in game days (configured on server)
    • The default cost of the charge is 5 Thunderstones. All wards that expire and are not charged will turn off until charged once more. Leaving it vulnerable to attack or takeover.
    • For reference. It's approximately 24 minutes for a full day cycle. Though this wiki says otherwise. https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Day_and_Night_Cycle
      • This means that you either have ~5 days until initial expiration or 6.25 if the wiki is correct.
      • The default expiration is 300 in-game days.
• Configurable entry and exit messages.
• Different levels of access to the ward.
• The hotkey can be adjusted by the configuration file.

  • (No Monsters) Enemy monsters will not target players inside the ward's radius
