Portal XPortal

XPortal allows you to select a portal destination from the list of available portals. No more tag mappings or portal hubs - XPortal is a complete reworking of the popular AnyPortal mode.

Description.

XPortal allows you to select a portal assignment from a list of available portals.

No more tag mappings or portal hubs.

Functions

Select a target.

When you interact with a portal, instead of typing a tag that matches the tag of another portal, XPortal can select the target of the portal from the list.

For convenience, this list also shows the distance to the portal.

Default destinations

Portals can be marked as "default portals". After you install the default portal, all newly created portals will be immediately linked to it without having to access the portal configuration pane.

Long names.

XPortal completely removes the limit on the number of characters in the names of portals, which allows you to give the portals clear and descriptive names.

Portal Location Ping

Forgot where the portal was placed? You don't have to teleport. Click the Ping button next to the list, and XPortal will show the selected portal on the map and tell all players on the server where it is located.

If you prefer to play without a map, you can hide this button by using the 'nomap' global key or setting 'PingMapDisabled' to 'True'.

Multiplayer.

XPortal is designed to support multiplayer gaming. All players must use the same version of XPortal. If you are playing on a private server, the same version of XPortal must be installed.

Controller support.

The XPortal user interface reacts to gamepad input when configuring portals. Version 1.2.10 also provides controller key tips.

Management is as follows:

'A' / 'X' - send (i.e. click OK)

'B' / 'Circle' - cancel

'Y' / 'Triangle' - ping the selected portal.

'X' / 'Square' - show/hide the contents of the dropdown menu.

'D-Pad Up' / 'D-Pad Down' - select the previous/next item in the pop-up menu.

Mode Compatibility and Integration

XPortal is fully compatible with the following modes

Nexus Update Check by aedenthorn

VHVR - Valheim VR with Flat Screen for VR Modders

Stone Portal by Jere Kuusela

Advanced portals from Randy Knapp

XPortal also has a configuration option for full integration with Advanced Portals: If 'DisplayPortalColour' is set to 'True', Stone Portal appears before each portal in the XPortal dropdown list starting with version 1.2.10, which also has its own color.

XPortal is known to be completely incompatible with it:

Configuration.

The XPortal configuration file is located in 'ValheimBepInExconfigyay.spikehimself.xportal.cfg' and contains the following settings

'PingMapDisabled'.

Completely disables the Ping Map button. For players who want to play without a card. This setting is enforced by the server (cannot be overridden).

'DisplayPortalColour'.

Displays the color label '>>' in the portals list to specify the portal type (integrated with Advanced Portals and Stone Portals).

'DoublePortalCosts'.

Since XPortal is essentially a trick and needs only half of the available portals, this setting allows you to compensate by doubling the cost of portals. This setting is applied by the server (cannot be overridden).

'HidePortalDistance'.

If you do not want the distance to the portal to be displayed in the list, you can use this option to prevent it from being displayed. This configuration is performed by the server (cannot be overridden).

'DefaultPortal'.

This configuration setting is available to store your default Personal Portal. This value is set by selecting the Default Portal check box in the Portal Settings panel. This value should not be manually edited in the file.

Installation procedure.

XPortal is a BepInEx plugin. Therefore, BepInEx must be installed. Most other Valheim mods are also BepInEx addons, so maybe you already have them.

XPortal uses the Jotunn library, so you must install the Jotunn library before you install XPortal; without Jotunn XPortal, you won't be able to download and run the game.

It is strongly recommended to use a mod manager such as Vortex or r2modman It is strongly recommended to use a mod manager such as Vortex or r2modman. Manual installation is not recommended.

Make sure you have BepInEx installed.

Install Jotunn.

Click on "Download Mods Manager" in Nexus Mods or "Install with Mods Manager" in Thunderstore.

To install XPortal on a dedicated server, copy the entire contents of the 'plugins' directory in the downloaded .zip file to the 'ValheimBepInExplugins' directory on the server.

Errors, function requests and translations

First of all, before reporting a bug, please make sure that the problem you encountered is actually caused by XPortal. If you're using other mods, turn them off and see if the problem goes away. Alternatively, disable XPortal and see if the problem resolves. If you find that XPortal is incompatible with other mods, please report it. If you are unsure or have difficulty with any of these steps, please report a problem.

It's important for me to make XPortal as error-free as possible, but keep in mind that without your 'LogOutput.log' file, I can't debug your problem. Screenshot of the error is not enough for us to determine the cause.
