Changelog

1.1.0 — 2026-09-20

• Install it on a dedicated server to log everyone's sailing. The server writes one CSV, BepInEx/CaptainsLog/shiplog-server-<timestamp>.csv, with a row for every ship that has someone at the helm or its sail or oars engaged. Speed is the velocity the sailing player's game reports, not the server's estimate.
• New Player column (second, after Timestamp) in both the client and server logs. On the server it names the helmsman, or whoever's game is running the ship when nobody is steering.
• HUD shows ship speed in knots by default, with a Speed Units setting for m/s or both.
• The wind line says where the wind comes from relative to the ship (Wind: 39% from starboard quarter) instead of a bare @ 24°. Show Wind Angle turns that part off. Wind stays a percentage, because Valheim wind has no speed.
• HUD sits under the hotbar by default, including AzuExtendedPlayerInventory's quick slot row, instead of on top of it. New Position setting: BelowHotbar, Centered (beside the ship's rudder icon, like Ship Stats) or TopLeft. Offset X/Y became Nudge X/Y, relative to that position. The HUD now has a dark background (Background Opacity) and hides with the rest of the HUD.
• HUD lines are clearer: Sail: Full, 73% efficient appears only while the sail is up (Oars: Forward/Reverse while rowing), and Rudder appears only while the rudder is turned.
• HUD's first line names the ship (Karve, Longship, or a modded ship's name). Show Ship Name hides it.
• Rudder (HUD and CSV) is now the rudder's position, -1 to 1. It used to be that frame's steering input, which read 0 unless a key was held.
• No longer limited to valheim.exe, so it loads on Windows and Linux dedicated servers. Clients need nothing new.

1.0.0 — 2026-09-09

First public release, built for Valheim 1.0.7.

• Logs a CSV row while you are aboard a moving ship (default twice a second): timestamp, ship, position, biome, speed in m/s and knots, throttle, propulsion mode, rudder, heading, relative wind angle, sail efficiency, wind intensity and direction.
• One CSV per session in BepInEx/CaptainsLog/.
• Small HUD, visible only aboard a ship, with live speed, wind and sail efficiency.
• Sample interval, HUD offsets and on/off switches are configurable.
