Added auto-exit

2.0

New plug and play version!

Note for Thunderstore users: Manual install strongly advised! I have no idea if this works with a mod manager!

What is Bepswitch?

This is a batch (.bat) file that switches Bepinex on and off so you can play either vanilla or modded easily. It is useful if you are in a couple of different servers - some with mods and some that don't allow mods.

How do I install it?

Download the mod and put bepswitch.bat in your Valheim folder.
Depending on your install, this should look like:

            D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Valheim

The contents of your folder should look something like this:

How do I use it?

Just double click on bepswitch.bat and you're good to go :)

I suggest creating a shortcut of the file and putting it in a more easy to find location.

What does it do?

This new version works by editing the text inside the doorstop_config.ini file. It switches between enabled=true and enabled=false to enable/disable Bepinex from loading.
Yes, you can just do this manually by editing the text in doorstop_config.ini each time.

Why did I make it?

I made this because I prefer to manage mods manually rather than using a manager, and did not want to have to edit files each time I wanted to play vanilla (I'm lazy).

I also like learning new code-ish stuff, and figuring this out was fun :)

Thanks to LuxZg on Nexus who pointed me to here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60034/how-can-you-find-and-replace-text-in-a-file-using-the-windows-command-line-envir

LuxZg also explained to me about replacing strings, so if you like this version 2.0, maybe give them a kudos too :)
