0.19.0
- Reduces false positive kicks for having applications which could be cheat-engines running
- Generic window classes are now a low-confidence signal: the sighting is still reported and
logged on the server
- Kicks and bans from cheat reports now target the reporting connection's platform ID instead of
the player name it self-reported, so a crafted report cannot hit another player and duplicate
character names cannot misfire
- A wrong mod version is now reported as a version mismatch instead of a modified file
- This covers the case where enforceVersion is off and the recorded hash is what caught it
- Version mismatches now name both versions - "com.example.Mod (needs 1.4.2, has 1.3.0)" - on the
disconnect screen, in the server log and in the Discord {versionMismatches} field
0.18.0
- Discord notifications can now be split across channels
- WebhookUrlPlayerActivity, WebhookUrlServerStatus, WebhookUrlModeration and WebhookUrlModMismatch
each take a webhook of their own; any left empty falls back to WebhookUrl as before
- Every notification is now a template you can edit, in config/ValheimEnforcer/Notifications.yaml
- Each entry is the literal message body posted to Discord, anything Discord accepts works, including
author/footer/thumbnail/image
- Deleting a key deletes that part of the message: drop "timestamp" and no date stamp is sent,
drop "embeds" and it becomes a plain text post. Nothing is added back for you
- A 'content' line is the only place a mention pings - use it for role alerts
- Placeholders like {player}, {playerId}, {reason} and {missingMods}; a mod mismatch also exposes
its missing/extra/version/hash lists separately instead of one block of prose
- Adds a world save notification (NotifyWorldSaved, off by default - the autosave is every ~20 minutes)
- Adds ServerLabel, exposed to templates as {server}, for several servers sharing one channel
- Adds Enforcer-Test-Notification, which posts any event with sample data so a template can be
previewed without waiting for the real thing
0.17.0
- Adds character import from the ServerCharacters mod (ImportServerCharacters, off by default)
- Reads the character files ServerCharacters leaves behind and turns them into enforcer saves, so
migrating players keep their inventory and skills instead of being confiscated on first join
- Item quality, variants, crafter names and mod item data (EpicLoot and friends) come across intact,
as do modded skills
- Runs once at server start, or on demand with Enforcer-Import-ServerCharacters, which has a dryrun
- Existing characters are never overwritten unless 'force' is given
0.16.0
- Adds an optional one-character-per-account rule (EnforceCharacterLimit, off by default)
- An account may only join with a character the server already has a save for, up to
MaxCharactersPerAccount; anything else is refused at the connect handshake
- Characters that already exist are never affected, so enabling it locks out no current player
- Refused players are told which character to rejoin with, instead of a generic connection error
- CharacterLimitExemptAccounts allows specific accounts any number of characters, whether or not
they are admins; CharacterLimitExemptAdmins extends that to the whole adminlist
0.15.0
- Adds file verification of client plugin DLLs at connect time
- New HashEnforcement setting: Off / WhenKnown (default) / Strict, overridable per mod in Mods.yaml
- Mods the server loads pin themselves; client-only mods pin by hand or from a thunderstorePackage
- Fixes a mod with the wrong version being reported as both a version mismatch and a non-allowed mod
- Comments in Mods.yaml now survive the startup rewrite, which used to delete them - a note stays
attached to the entry it was written above
- Documents the mod list in the README: the five lists, how an entry is structured, what is kept up
to date for you and what you have to write yourself
0.14.1
- Update Jotunn version
0.14.0
- Greatly expands cheat tool detection
- Detects the loaders used to deliver Valheim cheats, these are banned on sight
- generic trainers are also detected, with a configurable moderation action (default ban)
- Ban reasons and Discord notifications now name the specific tool and how it was found
0.13.0
- Fixes item duplication on death edgecases
- Improves compatibility with death mods that change what happens to items on death
- Inventory changes are now tracked as they happen instead of being polled on a timer
- An idle player sends nothing at all; CharacterDeltaTracker is now a rate limit (default 15s, was a 60s poll)
- Singleplayer and listen-host sessions now keep their character save current mid-session
- Fixes restored items being dropped on the ground when the player had room for them
- Singleplayer fixed skill progress earned during a session being rolled back on death
- Status effects can no longer carry across a death
0.12.0
- Improves multiplayer disconnect saving for extremely large character saves
- Allows server admin editing of save files to be hot-reloaded (please ensure the player you are editing is logged off first)
0.11.1
- Improves accuracy of saves in singleplayer games
0.11.0
- Server-side character saves and delta updates are now written off the main thread
- Full/delta saves are deserialized, serialized and written on a background worker with an in-memory cache
- Repeated writes to the same character are coalesced, so a burst of saves (e.g. every client on a "save player profiles" broadcast) can no longer stall the server or time players out
- Internal storage mode keeps its existing behavior (registry writes must stay on the main thread)
- Full character saves are now pulled by the server instead of riding the world/profile autosave
- The server asks connected players for a full save every FullSyncPullIntervalMinutes (default 25)
- No more than FullSyncMaxConcurrentPlayers upload at once (default 5); larger player counts are staggered into waves so incoming saves never spike bandwidth
- Removes the client-side full-save timer and the Player.Save trigger; routine changes still stream up incrementally via CharacterDeltaTracker, and join/logout still push a full save
0.10.1
- Forward leads character saves to ensure first round of delta saves are not discarded
0.10.0
- Anti-Cheat now enabled by default
