RustyHeathensTargetPortal
Choose portal destinations on the map with the Rusty Heathens. Public-only portals, favourites, electric-blue glow, custom blue map markers, and a branded portal travel screen.Rusty Heathens Target Portal
Choose your destination. Travel like a Heathen.
Walk into a portal, choose a destination on the map, and click its marker to travel. Rusty Heathens Target Portal brings electric-blue effects and Rusty Heathens artwork to your portal network.
Features
- Public portals only: every portal is treated as public. Players cannot switch portals to private.
- Map destination selection: travel to another listed portal without matching portal names.
- Favourites: right-click a destination marker to add or remove a favourite.
- Electric-blue portal effects: blue stone-portal rune markings and emission, particles, trails and attached lighting.
- Custom map marker: a bright electric-blue swirl with no steel ring.
- Rusty Heathens travel screen: branded blue-vortex artwork replaces the orange teleport graphic, using the game's normal teleport fade and timing.
- Server portal list: includes destinations in unloaded areas.
- Configurable portal settings: naming, maximum portal count, item restrictions and other retained options.
The custom travel artwork is static. Normal world-loading, sleep and respawn screens are not replaced. Portal models are unchanged.
Installation
Requires BepInExPack Valheim. Install this mod on the server/host and every participating client, using the same version everywhere.
Mod manager
Install through your Valheim mod manager. To test a downloaded ZIP before publication, use the manager's local-mod import function, then launch modded.
Manual installation
Copy the plugins/RustyHeathensTargetPortal folder from this ZIP into your BepInEx/plugins folder. The result should contain:
BepInEx/plugins/RustyHeathensTargetPortal/RustyHeathensTargetPortal.dll
The artwork is embedded in the DLL; no separate image installation is needed.
Updating
Close Valheim and stop the server before replacing the old DLL. Keep only one installed copy. Restart the server and clients after updating.
Keep your existing config. Its filename remains:
BepInEx/config/com.rustylasergaming.targetportal.cfg
Old AllowPrivatePortals, DefaultPortalMode and ModeToggleShortcut entries are ignored. They cannot re-enable private portals. Existing private portal data is treated as public while this version is installed; the stored data is not bulk-erased.
Controls
- Walk into a portal: open the destination map by default.
- Click a destination marker: travel.
- Right-click a destination marker: toggle favourite.
- Rename: use the portal's hover instructions.
Compatibility
Disable other portal destination-selection mods before installing this one to avoid conflicts.
Normal ward/access checks and configured item restrictions remain in place. Public visibility does not remove wards.
If using ModGuard, approve plugin ID com.rustylasergaming.targetportal. Update any version/hash rule for 2.0.1. This mod does not add server-enforced configuration synchronization.
