World of Valheim - SSC

World of Valheim - Server Side Characters allows the server to manage user character files.

Note: This mod is an add-on to BepInEx and requires the BepInEx add-on to use.

Welcome to World of Valheim - Server-Side Characters Add-on.

This is a fork of AluvielDev's Valheim Online add-on.

**This add-on is owned by AluvielDev. He also changed the access rights to the plugin on the Valheim-Online page as follows

This fork requires the character to be saved on the server side, which is the primary function of Valheim Online. This is the only functionality that this mod allows. If you need PVP functionality for zones, please refer to my add-on World of Valheim - Zones.

Key Features

Server-side character: When the client connects to the server, the server checks to see if the character file is available for that player. If not, the server creates a new character file for that player. It then sends this character file to the client and periodically requests updates about that character. If the user leaves the server, the character file on the server is updated, but the character on the client is not.

*Hearth and house updated to version 0.7.2*.

This latest version is my official update for the Hotspot and Home version.

*New features in version 0.6.0 

New feature: character backup.

*New feature: character backup.

New feature: single game. Now you can play a single game without problems from this addon. As a note, if you enable ExportCharacter, you will be able to create a local copy of your character on the server. This is useful for saving characters.

The AllowSinglePlayer configuration option has been removed because it is no longer required.

New *0.4.0

New: A permissions system has been added to the plugin. Therefore, it now requires a separate mod to run. Download Valheim Permissions.

What's New *0.3.0

New: Since version 0.3.0, the names of the characters saved are dynamic. This means that if you change the character who logged on to the server, he will upload this character file instead of another.

Backward Compatibility: The first time you log in to the server (using 0.3.0), the server will check the old character file "current.voc" and rename it to "ActualCharacterName.wov". This means that if you log in as "HackShardGaming", the old file "current.voc" will be renamed to "HackShardGaming.wov". Character files related to a particular character name will be stored in the appropriate steamid folder as before.
