Changelog

0.3.1

Added

• A scrollbar on the world, server and save lists. Drag it, or click anywhere on it to jump.

Fixed

• The number beside Community counted what was listed rather than what exists, so a list that was still filling looked like it had stopped. It now shows how many servers are out there and the footer shows how many are listed.
• Opening the window for the first time is quicker.

0.3.0

Added

• A new Start Game window, replacing Valheim's. Your worlds and the server list sit beside a panel showing everything about the one you picked.
• Save a server's password and it is sent for you, so the password prompt stops appearing.
• Sort servers by name, players, version or whether they are up.
• The community list shows every server it gets. Valheim's browser stops at 200.
• Server sources load as soon as the window opens instead of when you click them.
• A Rejoin row at the top of the server list for the one you were last on.
• A warning when a server is on a different game version, before you try to join.
• Nicknames and notes per server, so a list of hosts' names becomes a list of yours.
• Favourite or drop any server, and add one by typing its address.
• New World, World Modifiers, Manage Saves and Remove World, all in Skald's own style.
• Manage Saves can move a save between your computer and cloud storage, and delete old backups.
• New [Browser] settings: Enabled and Passwords.

Notes

• Saved passwords are kept in BepInEx/config/Skald/servers.json, not in the mod's config file, and are encrypted with your Windows account. Copied to another machine they stop working.
• Your favourites and recent servers are still Valheim's own lists, shared with its browser.
• Restoring a backup is not offered. Use Valheim's own Manage Saves screen for that.
• Turn the whole window off with Enabled under [Browser] to get Valheim's back.

0.2.3

Fixed

• Errors when you leave a server and come back to the title screen. The crowd was setting itself up as though it were still in a world.

0.2.2

Changed

• New bundled menu track. The Guys Being Vikings theme is now the chiptune version.
• Plainer readme.

0.2.1

Documentation only. No behaviour change.

Changed

• Rewrote the description and readme. Skald is a mod for replacing the title screen logo and music with your own; it happens to ship set up for the Guys Being Vikings server, and the previous wording made that sound like the only thing it was good for.

0.2.0

Added

• A crowd of randomly generated vikings around the campfire on the title screen. They dance, sit and headbang, and are rolled fresh every launch.
• A hot tub with two vikings in it, in shot on the character select screen.
• Weedheim support: the crowd carries its bongs and joints and blows its smoke. Optional, and not a dependency.
• skald_props console command, reporting what the crowd could find.
• New [Revel] settings: Enabled, Count, Radius, HotTub, Props, Bongs, Smokers and SmokeInterval.

Notes

• Works without Weedheim. The vikings turn up empty handed and nothing else changes.
• Your own character is untouched.
• Turn the crowd off with Revel/Enabled = false.

0.1.0

First release.

Added

• Replaces the title screen logo with a bundled image, fitted to the space Valheim's own logo occupies rather than stretched.
• Replaces the main menu music. The track is kept compressed in memory, costing about five megabytes rather than forty.
• Your own logo or track can be dropped into BepInEx/config/Skald/, overriding the bundled ones and surviving an update.

Notes

• Client side and cosmetic. Anything that fails falls back to Valheim's own title screen.
• Menu ambience is a separate sound and is left alone, so it still plays over the music.
