NameMoreThings
Name boats and doors like portals. Names show on the map and above boats, synced for everyone on the server.NameMoreThings
A BepInEx mod for Valheim 1.0. Name boats and doors to see them on the map.
- Look at a boat rudder, or a door and press N to name it. The keybind can be changed in the config.
- Under the name field are toggles for that boat or door:
- Show name above boat show the name floating over the mast.
- Show on map shows the name and icon on the map with. Boat pins follow the boat. On by default.
- The name shows when you look at the rudder or door. Leaving the name empty removes it.
Names are saved with the world and everyone on the server sees them. Like portal tags, you can't rename a boat or door inside someone else's ward.
Requires Jötunn.

Multiplayer
Install on the server. Optional for clients. Players without the mod can still join, they just can't name
things or see names, labels, or map pins. Players who have it need the same version as the server.
Settings (except NameKey) are synced from the server. Config changes are synced live.
Building
dotnet build -c Release
The game path comes from the Steam registry keys. BepInEx is looked for in the game folder; if you use a
mod manager, point BepInExPath at the profile's BepInEx folder with -p:BepInExPath=... or
Environment.props (the top of NameMoreThings.csproj shows how). The build copies NameMoreThings.dll to
BepInEx/plugins/NameMoreThings/. Pass -p:DeployToGame=false to skip that step.
