README

Jötunn, the Valheim Library

Jötunn (/ˈjɔːtʊn/, "giant") was created with the intent to facilitate developer creativity, unify the communities problem solving efforts, and enhance developer productivity by curating a library of common helper utilities, as well as interfaces and abstractions which aid with mod interoperability. networked gameplay consistency, and remove the need to maintain valheim version specific code by acting as an interface between the developer and the games changing internals.

Jötunn is not JotunnLib is not ValheimLib

Jötunn was created as a joint effort to merge JötunnLib and ValheimLib into a single library to use the best of both worlds. It is possible to use all three libraries side by side so all current mods will continue working. But it is highly recommended to port your mod to this new library as the other two won't be actively developed anymore.

Usage

Please refer to our documentation. We have gone to great lengths to ensure there is ample documentation to facilitate the developers learning experience.

Installation

If you're using a mod installer, you can likely ignore this section

For a more in-depth installation guide, please check out the manual installation guide in our documentation.

However, here is a quick run-down:

  1. Install BepInEx
    Download BepInEx, extract everything inside BepInEx_Valheim into your Valheim folder (typically C:\<PathToYourSteamLibary>\steamapps\common\Valheim).

  2. Install MMHookGen
    This is a dependency for Jötunn. Download MMHookGen, extract the config and patchers folders into your BepInEx folder in your Valheim install.

  3. Install Jötunn Download from either Nexus/Thunderstore, extract the ZIP, and put the Jotunn.dll file inside the BepInEx\plugins folder in your Valheim install.

That's it, launch the game and mod away!
You can tell it worked by either looking at the console output, or if you see Jotunn Vx.x.x in the top-right corner of the main menu.

Features

JVL provides three distinct groups of features. Entities, which abstract the game's own entities into easy-to-use interfaces. Managers, which act as interfaces between the entities and native collections or subsystems. Utilities, which are there to aid in generic/common functions that can span many different areas.

Entities

  • CustomItem - Represents ingame items such as weapons, tools and consumables.
  • CustomRecipe - Represents ingame recipes for managing crafting and upgrading of items.
  • CustomPiece - Represent ingame building pieces.
  • CustomStatusEffect - Represents ingame status effects from weapon hit effects to guardian powers.
  • CustomItemConversion - Represents ingame item conversions for the CookingStation, Fermenter and Smelter in one abstraction.
  • Mocks - Fake any vanilla prefab and use it in your custom assets - Jötunn resolves the references to the vanilla objects at runtime.
  • Config classes - There are many more abstractions beside the main entities which allow for easy creation of things like key bindings, custom commands, skills and more.

Managers

  • Command Manager - Facilitates implementation of methods which can be registered as executable console commands.
  • GUI Manager - Allows invocation of UI prefabs on the fly via code.
  • Input Manager - Provides an interface for binding keys via ZInput in a consistent manner, facilitating custom keybind hints.
  • Item Manager - Abstracts away implementation details of configurations applied to items/recipes to provide a consistent developer experience in adding new items. tl;dr items are easy!
  • Localization Manager - Provides multiple methods of loading localisation data into the game, as well as exposing an interface for adding additional languages to provide localizations to unsupported languages.
  • Piece Manager - Very similar to the Item Manager, abstracting implementation details of configurations for pieces/recipe's.
  • Prefab Manager - Provides a cache of prefabs registered through other managers, mostly developers will only query the cache for prefabs added via other managers.
  • Skill Manager - Facilitates additional custom skills.

Utilities

  • Asset Helpers - Methods to facilitate referencing and loading of assets.
  • Bone Reorderer - Fixes bone ordering issues on SkinnedMeshRenderer's that have been ripped and imported into unity.
  • NetworkCompatibility - Allows plugins to define their own version requirements for clients connected to the server. Ensures a customisable level of interoperability with clients of differing mod configurations on a plugin-by-plugin basis.
  • Config Synchronisation - Allows administrators to adjust configuration values via an in game menu. Config setting is synced to connected clients.
  • SimpleJSON - We have imported SimpleJSON into our library at the request of developers who would simply prefer to have this dependency taken care of already. We use the MIT Licensed SimpleJSON

Bugs, Support, Contributions

Please refer to our documentation before requesting support via discord. If there are any mod interoperability issues developers experience (not just exclusive JVL issues), we would like to hear from you! If we can facilitate better mod interoperability by providing a common interface, or exposing native valheim objects, including a utility which you have created, then please feel free to create a new feature request or pull request.

  • Improved module initialisation logging by unifying messages

Version 2.14.0

  • Fixed the SynchronizationManager wasn't always initialised, resulting in no sync of admin configs

Version 2.13.0

  • Improved startup time by only initialising accessed managers. This reduces the load time without dependent mods by about 90% (on my machine under 100ms instead of 800ms), making Jötunn almost unnoticeable. When all managers are accessed, the overall startup time is the same as before. Also, if a Valheim update breaks some parts, only loaded managers are affected
  • Added AssetUtils.LoadTextFromResources overload without assembly parameter
  • Added CustomCreature constructor with AssetBundle parameter
  • Added ZoneManager.CreateLocationContainer with AssetBundle parameter
  • Added CustomVegetation.IsValid interface
  • Added RequirementConfig.IsValid interface

Version 2.12.5

  • Fixed NRE using KeyHints
  • Fixed Mouse cursor not visible when blocking Input for UI

Version 2.12.4

  • Fixed mock resolution to not fail when a member throws an exception on GetValue. This happens in rare cases, for example when mocking a TMP component (thx OrianaVenture)

Version 2.12.3

  • Fixed an error with the console command for the upcoming 0.217 update (currently in PTB), still compatible with the stable Valheim release (0.216.9). Note that the PTB branch isn't supported and may cause unexpected issues at any time
  • Fixed JotunnBuildTask compile issues for .NET 7.0

Version 2.12.2

  • Fixed an error when switching tabs with Q/E and no custom categories where added
  • Fixed order of custom tabs with other mods that add custom categories

Version 2.12.1

  • Fixed compatibility issues with the custom hammer tabs when Auga is installed. There will be some warnings as some visual changes can't be applied but these should not affect the functionality

Version 2.12.0

  • Compatible with Valheim version 0.216.9, not working with an older version
  • Added prefab name helpers for CookingStations, CraftingStations, Fermenters, Incinerators, PieceCategories, PieceTables and Smelters
  • Added CustomPiece.Category helper property to make it easier to set the piece category at runtime.
  • Added PieceManager.Instance.GetPieceCategoriesMap to get a complete map of all piece categories
  • Reworked custom piece categories to be compatible with other mods. This changes some internal category ids
  • Changed custom hammer tabs to stack instead of scroll. Tabs also no longer have a dynamic width, instead the text tires to fit the tab
  • Changed PieceManager.GetPieceCategories to be obsolete, use PieceManager.Instance.GetPieceCategoriesMap instead to get a complete map of all piece categories
  • Changed PieceManager.PieceCategorySettings to be obsolete as they are no longer used
  • Changed PieceManager.RemovePieceCategory to no longer remove categories where a piece is still assigned to the category. This is to prevent problems with other mods that might still use this category
  • Changed Manager Init() methods to be private and not callable by mods. They were not intended to be called by mods and could cause issues
  • Changed Mock resolve depth from 3 to 5, this should catch some edge cases where fields are nested deeper
  • Changed empty CustomLocalization constructor to be marked obsolete, LocalizationManager.Instance.GetLocalization() should be used instead
  • Fixed empty translation values where not allowed, thus a valid key can be translated to an empty string
  • Fixed translations not being added to the Localization instance if it was already initialized
  • Slightly improved loading time of big mod packs when creating custom entities (again)

Version 2.11.7

  • Added Valheim network version check to the disconnect window to better identify the cause of a disconnect. Only visible if both server and client are running Jotunn 2.11.7 or higher
  • Removed the Valheim version string check from the disconnect window, as the network version is used for the version check

Version 2.11.6

  • Fixed an issue with custom category tabs where the hammer menu wouldn't open when using a controller

Version 2.11.5

  • Fixed custom category tabs caused errors after relogging

Version 2.11.4

Version 2.11.3

  • Compatible with Valheim version 0.214.300 and the upcoming 0.215.1 patch
  • Fixed a client with a different Valheim version will no longer be additionally disconnected by Jötunn. If the player was disconnected, a mismatching Valheim version will still be displayed
  • Fixed side-loaded localisations being loaded too early, causing translations to be added to the internal Jötunn localisation instead of the respective mod
  • Fixed custom hammer tabs had the wrong size when being localised

  • Fixed calling LocalizationManager/CustomLocalization.TryTranslate() could cause the game localisation to be initialized too early
  • Fixed an error inside the ModQuery if a null prefab is inside ZNetScene or ObjectDB
  • Fixed an error caused by releasing a render texture too early
  • Fixed KeyHints for keyboard, Gamepad hints are still not working a 100%

  • Changed "open log file" button to "open log folder" in the compatibility window
  • Fixed an edge case where PrefabManager.Cache preferred the prefab for ObjectDB parent instead of the scene object
  • Fixed an error when an independent mod adds a prefab twice to ObjectDB. A warning will be logged with the prefab name and hash to help debugging, but vanilla or other mods may still have issues with the double prefab
  • Fixed an error when available pieces in the build hammer where not initialised properly
  • Fixed an error that could occur when a build tab is localised
  • Fixed dynamic build tab width was not working for localised tabs

Version 2.10.0

  • Deprecated "ChanceToSpawn" in LocationConfig and made it compatible with version 0.212.6
  • Added Remove and Destroy methods to the ZoneManager

  • Fixed RenderManager inconsistency between a headless server and normal client. Instead of always returning null, an empty sprite is returned on headless when it should have been rendered
  • Fixed trying to insert Jötunn's localisation multiple times

Version 2.9.0

  • Big compatibility window improvements: internal cleanup, better use of available space, button to open the log file, improved language and added german localization
  • Changed that mocked shaders will not be resolved on a headless server because they are not available. This stops unnecessary warnings from being printed
  • Fixed crossplay connection issues properly and removed the hotfix from Jotunn 2.8.1
