Changelog

1.2.0 — Staff of Healing revives and lower panels

• New companion plugin VikingRevival.Extras.dll (ships in the same package; no new dependency).
• Staff of Healing instant revive: when a player casts blacks7ar MagicPlugin's Staff of Healing, every downed player inside the staff's heal radius is revived instantly. The server validates the caster and range, completes the revive through the normal Viking Revival authority, and restores 50 health by default. No mead is consumed and any mead revive in progress on that player is cancelled cleanly.
• Casts made while the staff is on its heal cooldown do not revive (configurable).
• The caster sees how many companions their staff revived.
• Lower panels: the "You have fallen" and "You died" panels now sit at 15% screen height (was 25%) and the rescuer's "Revive your companion" panel at 30% (was screen centre). All three are configurable and always clamped on-screen at any HUD scale.
• Original gameplay DLLs (1.1.2) are unchanged. MagicPlugin is an optional dependency: Viking Revival works fully without it, and only the Staff of Healing revive is unavailable.

1.1.4 — Valheim 1.0.20 compatibility and maintenance notes

• Recover and build the current published 1.1.2 gameplay source against installed Valheim 1.0.20 assemblies; preserve its native death/tombstone behavior and timer fixes.

• Validate the published core with 107 checks using the current 60-second and pause-during-held-revival contract.

• Preserve the published gameplay DLLs and settings. This maintenance package does not replace them with an older source archive or alter the revival rules.

• Standalone support continues while Viking Realm is in development. Realm is not a dependency.

• This maintenance pass adds no new two-player runtime acceptance claim.

• Finalized the stable full release README with complete feature coverage and consistent JustQOL branding.

1.1.3 - Full release documentation

• Finalize installation, controls, timers, inventory behavior, compatibility and support documentation.
