QuickTeleport

Quick Teleport

Faster portal and dungeon teleports for Valheim 1.0. By default the teleport ends as soon as the screen is black and the destination is loaded, instead of after the fixed 8 seconds vanilla waits for portals. Alternatively, run the vanilla timing a configurable number of times faster.

A from-scratch replacement for OdinPlus' QuickTeleport (last updated for an older game version), with the same optional "skip loading" behaviour and a safer default for dedicated servers.

Client-side: install it on every player's game that should use it. Nothing is needed on the server, and players without the mod can play on the same server.

Features

• Auto mode (default): no fixed waits. The screen fades to black, you are

moved, the mod waits for the destination to load and for the server to stop sending new objects, and the screen fades back. On a dedicated server a base arrives in about three to five seconds instead of ten.

• Multiplier mode: everything vanilla does, N times faster (the fade, the

2 s move delay, the 8 s portal minimum, the 15 s floor timeout). 1 is vanilla timing plus the early position report described below.

• Configurable fade duration, 0.1 s by default (vanilla 1 s). The player is

never moved before the screen is fully black.

• Every setting is local to your game, so each player can trade safety for

speed; see Making it faster.

• The two unsafe options of the old QuickTeleport, off by default: do not wait

for objects, or do not wait for the area at all.

• Dungeon entrances (crypts, caves) benefit too: they skip the 2 s wait and

the settle wait, so with the default fade they take a fraction of a second.

Installation

Requires BepInEx 5.

• With a mod manager (r2modman, Thunderstore Mod Manager): install as usual.
• By hand: unzip the release and copy the plugins/QuickTeleport folder into

BepInEx/plugins, so the mod ends up at BepInEx/plugins/QuickTeleport/QuickTeleport.dll.

The config file BepInEx/config/muindor.QuickTeleport.cfg is created on first launch.

Configuration

Server

| Key | Default | Description | |-----|---------|-------------| | ConfigPriority | false | Server only. When on, this server's settings replace those of every client that also has the mod. |

Install the mod on a dedicated server, or on the machine hosting the session, and turn ConfigPriority on to give every player the same teleport timing: every client that also has Quick Teleport then runs on the server's settings instead of its own. Everything except IsDebug travels; those settings are marked [synced] in the generated .cfg.

This never makes the mod required on either side:

• Players without it are unaffected. The mod is not part of the game's version

check, so it never blocks a connection either way.

• A player with it can still join a server that does not have it, or one that

leaves ConfigPriority off, and keeps their own settings.

• The client's .cfg is never written to. The server's values live in memory

for as long as the connection lasts and are dropped when it ends.

• Changing a setting on a running server sends it to the connected players

right away.

General

| Key | Default | Description | |-----|---------|-------------| | Enabled | true | Enable the mod. Off = vanilla teleports. | | IsDebug | false | Log the timeline of every teleport (screen black, area loaded, settled, finished). |

Teleport

| Key | Default | Description | |-----|---------|-------------| | Mode | Auto | Auto: no fixed waits, the teleport ends as soon as the screen is black and the destination is loaded. Multiplier: the vanilla timing divided by SpeedMultiplier. | | SpeedMultiplier | 4 | Multiplier mode only, 1 to 100. 1 = vanilla, 4 = four times faster. | | FadeDuration | 0.1 | Seconds for the screen to fade to black and back (vanilla 1), 0.05 to 5. In Multiplier mode it is divided by SpeedMultiplier too. Config files created by 1.0.1 or older keep their 1; lower it by hand. |

Loading

| Key | Default | Description | |-----|---------|-------------| | WaitForAreaLoad | true | Wait until the destination is loaded (vanilla). false: end the teleport right after the fade, like the old QuickTeleport "Skip Loading Area". You may float or fall until the world appears. | | WaitForObjects | true | Also wait for the objects of the destination (buildings, trees) to spawn, not only for the terrain (vanilla). false: like the old QuickTeleport "Skip Loading Objects". You may end up under a building floor. Ignored when WaitForAreaLoad is false. | | SettleTime | 0.5 | Portals in Auto mode with WaitForObjects only, 0 to 5. After the destination is loaded, wait this many seconds without new objects arriving from the server before ending the teleport. Never waits past the vanilla 8 s measured from the start of the teleport. 0 disables. Dungeon entrances never wait: their interior is loaded together with the entrance. |
