Runic Character Vault

Runic Character Vault keeps the authoritative copy of each player's character on your dedicated server. When a player joins, the server securely sends that character to the client; while playing and when leaving, validated saves return to the vault.

Install

Install this package on the dedicated server and every connecting client. Do not combine it with ServerCharacters, Landoria CharacterVault, or another server-character mod.

For the safest first connection, each player should select a newly created character that has never entered a world. The server then enrolls that character. By default, one character identity is allowed per platform account.

Server data is stored under:

BepInEx/config/RunicCharacterVault/characters

Automatic server backups are stored in the backups folder. A local safety copy is also made before the client replaces its selected profile with the server's authoritative copy.

Configuration

Edit BepInEx/config/chazman.RunicCharacterVault.cfg on the server, then restart it.

• AllowMultipleCharacters: permit more than one character name per platform account. Default: false.
• StartingItems: optional comma-separated prefab and quantity pairs, such as Hammer:1,Torch:1.

The legacy command-line switches --charactervault-allow-multiple-characters and --charactervault-starting-items remain supported and override the configuration file.

Runic Character Vault supports normal saves, world checkpoints, logout, voluntary disconnect, kicks, and graceful dedicated-server shutdown handshakes. The server rejects malformed, oversized, mismatched, or unverified character transfers.

First-release safety note

Keep normal world and BepInEx backups. Test with a nonessential character before opening a production server. Never manually edit vault files while the server is running.
