Identity

Plugin name	ValheimConsoleCapture
Plugin GUID	com.sonicdm.valheim.valheimconsolecapture
Assembly	ValheimConsoleCapture.dll
Version	1.0.0
Config file	BepInEx/config/com.sonicdm.valheim.valheimconsolecapture.cfg

Features

• Writes F5 console lines to BepInEx/ValheimConsole.log inside the active BepInEx folder. With Gale or r2modman, that is the profile folder, not the Steam game folder.
• Keeps a rolling in-memory buffer (default 1000 lines) for copy and dump.
• Starts a new session block in the log each time the console wakes up.
• Client-only. Nothing is uploaded or sent to other players.

Commands

Command	What it does
copyconsole	Copy the buffer to the clipboard. copyconsole 50 copies the last 50 lines.
dumpconsole	Write the buffer to BepInEx/ConsoleCaptures. dumpconsole 100 writes the last 100 lines.
dumpcommand pos	Run one console command and write only its output.
dumpcommand "pos; seed"	Run each command in order into the same file.
clearconsolebuffer	Clear the in-memory buffer. Does not clear the F5 console or delete the log.
consolecapture	Show status. consolecapture on and consolecapture off toggle capture until the next launch.

Quotes are only needed when chaining. A semicolon outside the quotes is still a separate console command.

Dump files are named console-<commands>-yyyy-MM-dd-HHmmss.txt. The "Dumped N lines" acknowledgement is shown in the console and is not part of the file. Clipboard text and dump files are not timestamped.

Configuration

• [General] Enabled
• [File] LogToFile, LogPath, AppendMode, TimestampLines, FlushImmediately
• [Buffer] BufferedLines (1–100000)
• [Clipboard] EnableClipboard
• [Filtering] CaptureCommands, CaptureOutput, StripRichText, CaptureAutocomplete

LogPath defaults to BepInEx/ValheimConsole.log. A BepInEx/... path stays inside the active BepInEx folder. Any other relative path starts at the game folder.
