VargheimGate

Season gate for the Vargheim Valheim server (Ghost Pack community).

Players need this mod to join Vargheim. You install it like any other mod. On its own it does nothing; it only runs when you join a server that also runs it.

What it does

• On a gated server: the first time a character joins in a season, it starts the season fresh. Its inventory is emptied and replaced with a starter kit, and its known recipes, pieces, materials, stations and trophies are cleared, along with its Forsaken power and food. Skills above 25 are lowered to 25. The character is then stamped with the season and left alone from then on. An existing character gets a Yes/No question first, and answering No logs out with the character unchanged. A brand-new character isn't asked.
• Everywhere else: nothing happens. Other servers and single player are not affected.
• Server side: it tells joining players the season rules, and can turn away players who don't have the mod.

Tip: use a new character for the server. Your other characters stay untouched as long as you answer No.

How a season is armed (0.3.0)

The season label the gate uses is stored in the world save, not in the config. The config's SeasonId is only a request. The world takes it once, the first time this version runs on a world that has never been armed; after that the world keeps its label no matter what the config says. A config file that gets overwritten or mis-edited can therefore never ask players to reset.

To really start a new season an admin sets SeasonId in the config and runs vg_season arm in the game console while connected. vg_season on its own shows what the world is armed for and what the config says.
