Dude, What Are My Stats?

Early alpha. Your stats on one key press, and a scoreboard of everyone you play with.

• Press I anywhere to open the panel. No inventory, no menus, no clicking through a compendium.
• The game pauses while you read, exactly as far as the ESC menu would.
• The Scoreboard tab ranks everyone who runs this mod, online now or not. Click a column to sort by it.
• The Details tab breaks one player's stats into sections, with their skills and the creatures they have killed most.
• It records what kills you -- which creature, what it was holding, and everyone else who was in the fight. Valheim never writes that down.
• Optionally, a small always-on player list with everyone's death count.

Install it on your own game and the server needs nothing: everyone online who also runs the mod shows up. Install it on the server as well and the board also remembers players who are not online, each marked with how long ago they were last seen. Players without the mod never appear.

The scoreboard

Column	What it is
Player	Your own row is gold and marked (you). Anyone not online is marked with how long ago they were last seen, such as (2d ago).
Kills	Every creature you have killed.
Deaths	Every death.
K/D	Kills per death. With no deaths yet this is simply your kill count, the way scoreboards usually show it.
Bosses	Boss kills.
Played	Active play time. Valheim only counts this while you are moving about, so it runs behind wall-clock time, and standing in a base AFK adds nothing.
Nemesis	The creature that has killed you most, and how often. Empty until the mod has watched a death: see below.
Best skill	Your highest skill and its level.

Click any row to open that player's Details. Click a column header to sort by it, and again to flip the direction. The sort is remembered between sessions.

Offline rows say how old they are. A player who is online answers for themselves, so their numbers are current. Anyone else is shown from the server's last record of them, marked (2d ago) or similar, so nobody argues over a number that turns out to be a fortnight stale. If the server does not run the mod there is nowhere to keep those records, and the board shows only the players online to answer.

What killed you

Valheim counts your deaths and sorts them by category -- enemy hit, fall, drowning -- but it never records which creature. So this watches your fights as they happen, and when you lose one it writes down what happened.

The Nemesis column and the Killed by table in Details are the short version: a running tally of what has killed this character, most often first. Falls, drowning, lava and the edge of the world are in the same table, so it accounts for every death it saw. It starts empty, since there is no old record to read: deaths from before this was installed show as Not recorded rather than leaving the table quietly short.

The long version is the last few deaths in full, printed by dwams_deaths:

just now - 1-star Troll (Troll club), with 12 others in the fight (day 84, Black Forest)
  blow: 94 damage (blunt 94), EnemyHit, unblockable
  you: 125 max health, 41 armor, holding Iron sword, Rested + Wet
  fight: 38s, 9 hit(s) taken, worst 94, 61 stamina blocking
  killed you: 1-star Troll: 94 damage, 1 hit(s)
  Greydwarf: 22 damage, 2 hit(s), 4 blocked, 31 stamina
  Greydwarf Shaman: 14 damage (inferred), 1 hit(s)
  Greydwarf: 6 blocked, 18 stamina
  Greydwarf: on you 22s

Everything in the fight is in there, not just the killer. Ten greydwarves that surround you and drain your stamina are part of why the troll got you, so each is listed with what it actually did: damage dealt, blows you blocked and what they cost in stamina, blows you dodged, and how long it had you in its sights. One that never landed a blow still appears, marked as having been there. The In the fight table in Details counts those over time, so you can see which creature keeps turning up at your deaths without ever being the one to finish you.

A blow you blocked to nothing credits the creature with the swing and with none of the damage, which is the distinction the whole record rests on. Poison and burning ticks are a genuine gap: the game deals them from the effect rather than the creature and attaches no attacker at all, so they are credited to whoever last dealt that kind of damage and marked (inferred). That is what puts a death by Blob poison down to the Blob, several seconds after the Blob itself is dead.

The reports stay on your machine. The tallies are small and travel with the rest of your stats, which is what fills in the Nemesis column for everyone else. A full report is far too big to hand around, so dwams_deaths shows your own. Settings live under [Deaths]: Keep Reports is how many to keep, Record Bystanders turns off the part that looks around for creatures that never hit you, Bystander Seconds is how long something must have you in its sights to count, Fight Gap Seconds is how long the quiet has to last before the next fight starts fresh, and Log Deaths copies each report into the BepInEx log. Record Deaths turns the whole thing off.

Nothing goes on the server for this. Only your own game can see what hit you, so only your own game could record it.

The details tab

Everything Valheim tracks for one character, which is over two hundred numbers, sorted into sections you can fold away: Summary, Skills, Combat, Deaths, Exploration, Building, Crafting, Gathering, Creatures, Forsaken powers, Other, and Creatures killed. Times read as 3h 12m, distances as 4.2 km, everything else as a count. Stats still at zero are hidden unless you turn on Show Zero Stats.

Left and Right arrows step through the players. Tab switches between the two views.

The player list

A small list in the corner of the screen showing each player and how many times they have died, most deaths first. Your own row is gold. It is off by default; turn it on with Show Player List, the console command dwams_hud, or a key you choose under Toggle Key.

Once on, it stays up for the whole of play, over the map and the inventory too. It steps aside only where it would otherwise draw on top of something it shouldn't: when the game hides its own HUD (Ctrl+F3), during cutscenes, behind the pause menu and the black fade on death or teleport, and while the stats panel is open, which shows the same numbers and more. It never takes the mouse, so nothing underneath it stops being clickable.

A player who has just died stays on the list while they respawn. Who counts as online comes from the game's own list of connected players, so the respawn, when a player's game briefly can't answer, doesn't make them vanish at the moment their count goes up. One side effect: two characters with the same name show as online together whenever either one is.

By default it lists only the players online now, which is what an always-visible list is usually for; Include Offline Players adds the ones the server remembers. It asks the others for their numbers every 30 seconds while the stats panel is closed, since deaths change rarely. Your own count is always current.

It starts on the left, below the hotbar. If it lands on top of something in your setup, move it with Corner and Offset: the offset is how far in from that corner, in pixels at 1080p, both numbers counted inward whichever corner you pick. Font Size and Max Rows do what they say.

The toggle key is unbound by default because nearly every letter is already taken by the game or another mod. Pick one that is free in your own setup.

Keys

Key	What it does
I	Open or close the panel. Configurable.
Escape	Close the panel.
Tab	Switch between Scoreboard and Details.
Left / Right	Previous / next player, in Details.

Drag the title to move the panel and the bottom-right corner to resize it. Both are remembered.

About the pause

The pause goes through Valheim's own pause, the one the ESC menu uses, so the game decides whether it takes:

• Solo, or hosting with nobody else connected: the game freezes while the panel is open.
• On a server with other players online: nothing freezes. Vanilla refuses to pause a shared world, which is what you want.
• With Pause My Server installed: that mod hooks the same two calls and may grant the pause anyway, under its own rules. This mod knows nothing about it and needs no special handling either way.

Turn the whole thing off with Pause While Open if you would rather the world kept turning.

How other players' stats get here

Players who are online answer for themselves. When you open the panel it asks everyone, and each player's own game reads its own profile and replies straight back to you. Valheim forwards those messages whether or not the server knows what they are, which is why this half needs no server install at all.

While the panel is open it asks again every 10 seconds, or press Refresh. Set Refresh Seconds to 0 to ask only when you open the panel and when you press the button.

Players who are not online are remembered by the server. Your game hands the server your own stats every few minutes, when you open the panel, and as you leave the world. The server keeps the newest record per character and hands the lot to anyone who asks, which is what puts people on the board who were not playing when you were. A live answer always wins over the stored copy, so someone standing next to you is never shown from an old record.

About versions. This mod reads every version of that message it has ever written, so keeping up to date means you see everyone whatever the rest of your group is running. A game older than 0.10.1 is the other way about: it refuses anything but its own version, so until those players update you will not appear on their scoreboard, however new you are. The panel says so when it spots them. Nothing is ever enforced, and nobody is refused a connection over a scoreboard.

This half needs the mod on the server, which is the only thing it is needed for. Without it, nothing breaks: the request goes unanswered and you see the players who are online. Run dwams_status in the console to see whether your server is answering.

Server settings live in the same config file under [Server] and are ignored on a client. Server Store Enabled turns the record keeping off entirely. Server Keep Days forgets a character nobody has seen in that long, so a public world does not collect one-time visitors forever. The file sits in BepInEx/config/DudeWhatAreMyStats/, one per world.

Server Max Characters bounds how many the server remembers, dropping the least recently seen past that. The whole set travels to a client in one message, so this is a real ceiling rather than housekeeping.

Push Minutes is the client side of that. Set it to 0 and you stop handing over your own stats, which keeps you off the board for anyone who was not online at the same time as you.

Ask Other Players works both ways. Turn it off and you stop asking, and you also stop answering, so you drop off everyone else's scoreboard as well as emptying your own. It is an opt-out, not a quiet way to watch without being watched. Turning it off also tells the server to forget the record it already holds, so you come off other people's boards rather than lingering there until the keep window runs out.

Console commands

Command	What it does
dwams	Open or close the panel.
dwams_hud	Show or hide the always-on player list.
dwams_refresh	Ask everyone online, and the server, for stats again.
dwams_deaths	What has killed you, and the last few deaths in full. Add a number for one of them.
dwams_status	Print the scoreboard, and say whether the server is keeping records.

Configuration

BepInEx/config/DeathMonger.DudeWhatAreMyStats.cfg, or press F1 in game if you have a configuration manager. Notable settings: the open key, Pause While Open, Ask Other Players, Refresh Seconds, Show Offline Players, Push Minutes, Show Zero Stats, Top Creature Count and Fix Treasure Discovery Count, the [Deaths] section for the death record, the [Player List] section for the always-on list, plus Server Store Enabled and Server Keep Days on a server.

A vanilla bug it fixes

Valheim counts a treasure chest as newly found every single time you open it. The chest tells its owner it has been discovered over a message the game never registered a handler for, so the mark that would keep it from counting twice is never written, and Failed to find rpc method 327122920 goes in the log instead. This mod registers the missing handler, so a chest counts once and the treasure numbers on the panel mean the number of chests you have actually found.

It works while your own game owns the chest, which in a dungeon it usually does; a chest held by a player without the mod still miscounts for them. Counts already inflated stay inflated, since nothing here rewrites stats the game has already recorded. Turn it off with Fix Treasure Discovery Count to leave the game exactly as it ships.

Known limits

• Only players running this mod appear on the scoreboard.
• Seeing players who are not online needs the mod on the server too. Without it the board shows only whoever is online to answer for themselves.
• The server records what each player's own game tells it about itself, the same as the live answers, so it is a scoreboard among friends rather than an audited one.
• A character is only remembered once they have played with the mod installed on both ends, so the board fills in over the first few sessions rather than arriving complete.
• What killed you is recorded from the moment this version is installed and no earlier. Nothing can reconstruct it: the game kept no record to read.
• A fight can hold two dozen creatures in the record. A raid bigger than that is noted as capped.
• Valheim keeps ten sets of stats per character, one per difficulty. This mod reads the raw lifetime set, so the numbers include every run regardless of difficulty, and cheated runs too.
• Food Eaten is bugged in vanilla and does not count up.
• The panel is not a controller UI. It expects a mouse and keyboard.
