Changelog

0.2.6 - 2026-08-10

• Remove the “Existing progress” and former-name migration section from the Thunderstore description.

0.2.5 - 2026-08-10

• Replace the boss-trophy carrier instruction with: “All players who fought this boss must be present for the sacrifice to receive rewards.”
• Display Valheim's non-teleportable inventory icon on portal-restricted boss trophies while preserving the configured wooden/stone portal behavior.
• Reliably withhold non-trophy boss drops while the death-time progression key is suppressed, then multiply the altar reward set by the number of nearby players with open kill receipts.
• Consume each credited player's kill receipt during sacrifice so prior participants and observers cannot generate duplicate rewards.
• Remove already-credited receipt bits while loading existing registries and importing character progress, preserving genuinely open receipts without granting duplicate claims.
• Honor ItemStand.m_netViewOverride for altar readiness, sacrifice state, and delayed-loot ownership so complete Forsaken-stone prefabs resolve the correct network identity.

0.2.4 - 2026-08-10

• Complete the WorldStageDirector identity change across the plugin GUID, assembly, DLL, namespaces, projects, package, administrator command, and GitHub URL.
• Automatically copy legacy configuration and per-world registry files to the new WorldStageDirector filenames without deleting or overwriting existing data.
• Add wsd as the primary administrator command while retaining pg as a compatibility alias.
• Prevent the renamed build and the legacy DLL from loading simultaneously.
• Move the 60-second onboarding text lower so it does not cover alternate-slot menus.

0.2.3 - 2026-08-10

• Publish the mod as the new WorldStageDirector package while preserving its existing progression data identity.
• Show both boss-progression instructions together for 60 seconds on each of the first two character/world login sessions.
• Clarify the kill-receipt eligibility message.
• Keep Yagluth's long altar hover text on-screen and separate the WorldStageDirector status with a blank line.

0.2.2 - 2026-08-09

• Clarify boss-progression wording and simplify the package description.

0.2.1 - 2026-08-09

• Rewrite the package description to focus entirely on the mod's features and gameplay loop.

0.2.0 - 2026-08-09

• Replace ZenBossStone with an integrated, server-authoritative Forsaken altar progression system.
• Require a player to damage a boss and witness its death before recording that exact boss's kill receipt.
• Delay the matching world-wide defeated_* key until a valid trophy sacrifice.
• Grant personal boss credit only to nearby sacrifice witnesses who hold the matching kill receipt.
• Drive personal boss-stone visibility, activation, and power access from exact server credits.
• Withhold managed boss loot until sacrifice and reproduce the live boss drop table at the altar.
• Apply configurable trophy weight, stack size, auto-pickup, and portal restrictions matching the existing server profile by default.
• Preserve existing world keys, upgrade schema-1 registry tiers, and union exact legacy guardian-power keys without ever lowering progress.
• Retry legacy imports until the server resolves and acknowledges the character, fixing the profile-load/character-replication race.
• Add pg audit for connected-player migration verification and show exact kill/credit flags in registry commands.
• Enable Valheim PlayerEvents automatically by default and synchronize all new settings to required clients.
• Preserve vanilla E/Use power selection and make direct trophy-on-hook use the only sacrifice input.
• Add guidance on the first two character/world login sessions, kill-receipt confirmation, trophy-carrier party announcements, personal altar status, and credit confirmation.
• Query connected pending receipt holders before sacrifice: proceed immediately when everyone is in range, otherwise retain the trophy and show a missing-player warning before deliberate confirmation.
• Removes ZenBossStone dependency

0.1.3 - 2026-08-09

• Replace the package icon with updated WorldStageDirector artwork.

0.1.2 - 2026-08-09

• Make client-side ambient spawn validation fail open until an authoritative server snapshot has been received.
• Prevent an owning client from removing existing networked creatures using default enabled settings and progression tier None during the join synchronization window.
• Preserve immediate server enforcement and run the existing loaded-creature sweep after the authoritative snapshot arrives.
• Add regression checks for unsynchronized-client, synchronized-client, and server authority behavior.

0.1.1 - 2026-08-08

• Add an optional least-progressed-online ceiling for managed random raids.
• Stop an active managed raid if a newly connected character lowers the online ceiling below its required trophy tier.
• Block new event Monuments of Torment outside the Ashlands and remove loaded event monuments found there.
• Always allow the Monument-of-Torment raid and its monuments inside the Ashlands.
• Map Hildir's quest raids to conservative boss-progression tiers.

• Add world-scoped atomic persistence and remote administrator commands.
• Add pure behavior tests and installed-API compatibility checks.
