About RunicCharacterVault

From Thunderstore

Keep player characters on your dedicated server with automatic loading, enrollment and character backups.

Runic Character Vault 1.0.4

Keep your players' characters on the dedicated server, with automatic character loading and backups.

Getting started

  1. Install on the dedicated server and every connecting client.
  2. Select your character and join the server.
  3. With AllowExistingCharacters = true, your character's current inventory, skills, appearance and progress become its first vault save. Wait for the save confirmation before leaving.
  4. Later joins load the character stored by that server.

Use Runic Character Vault as your server-character mod. Remove ServerCharacters or Landoria CharacterVault when switching to it.

Server settings

Edit BepInEx/config/chazman.RunicCharacterVault.cfg, then restart the server.

  • AllowExistingCharacters: allow players to enroll previously played characters; enabled by default.
  • AllowMultipleCharacters: allow multiple character names per account; disabled by default.
  • StartingItems: items for new characters, such as Hammer:1,Torch:1.

Server administrators in adminlist.txt can enroll multiple characters. Existing vault characters keep their saved progress.

Character files

Character files are stored in BepInEx/config/RunicCharacterVault/characters. Automatic backups are in backups; first-enrollment copies are in enrollment-backups. Keep these folders when updating or moving your server.

Credits

Based on the MIT-licensed Landoria CharacterVault project. See NOTICE.md and LICENSE.

Languages

The mod follows Valheim's selected language, with English fallback. Keep the included Translations folder beside the mod DLL when installing manually.
