Valheim Moments

Valheim Moments

Changes in 0.23.2

• Discovery restart spam is fixed. Discoveries are saved per character and world and no longer repeat on server restarts. This covers biomes, enabled sub-biomes, traders and named locations.
• Update normally through Thunderstore Mod Manager or r2modman. You may see discoveries one more time after upgrading if your old history was removed during the update. Once recorded by this version, they stay remembered. No PowerShell commands or manual migration are needed.
• Named sub-biome announcements are optional and off by default (Discoveries.SubBiomes).

Includes the 0.23.0 improvements: Barely Survived stays slowed through the hit's immediate aftermath; special enemies have independent boss-equivalent controls and experimental cameras; biome discoveries have experimental camera options and cinematic letterboxing; optional Discord user IDs add mentions beside character names in Recorded by and Kill credit.

Source code and issue reports

Save the moments worth sharing: boss victories, rare drops, unfortunate deaths, and anything you catch with a hotkey. Valheim Moments turns recent gameplay into animated WebP clips and can send them to Discord.

Windows x64 beta - 0.23.2. Manual capture, deaths, boss summaries, Epic Loot, ordinary loot and natural acquisitions have passed user testing. Host and joining-player F10 clips have reached Discord, and the WebP clips were confirmed visually.

Grouped multiplayer highlights: compatible creature-death recordings share one Discord post with up to three labeled perspectives. Discoveries and configurable special-enemy captures from 0.14 are included. Settings, sizing, notifications and death-rate improvements from 0.12/0.13 are included. Install 0.23.2 on the host and every recording client. Automated checks cover persistence, rules and hook behavior; in-game exploration, visual/audio and live co-op acceptance remain pending.

Upgrading from an older version

Update normally through your mod manager; no scripts or manual history migration are required. After upgrading from an older version, you may see discoveries one more time if the updater removed their old history. The mod now saves discoveries outside the plugin folder, so recorded discoveries will no longer repeat when the server restarts. This applies to biomes, enabled sub-biomes, traders and named locations for each character and world.

Personal controls

Set Player Identity.DiscordUserID to your numeric Discord user ID to show Mec (@your Discord account) in Recorded by and Kill credit. Your character name stays unchanged; Discord resolves the account name and handles notification preferences. Leave it blank to opt out. The ID is sent to the connected host; it is self-configured, not an account verification flow.

Set Cinematic Camera: Experimental.RenderCinematics = false to disable the extra rendering workload on your computer while retaining normal recording. LogEnemyKeys is also personal. The separate special-enemy FirstKillOnly and death PlayerNameOverride controls are removed; use CaptureMode for capture rules.

Features

• Personal gallery: F8 opens/closes history; clicking outside also closes it. Each card automatically shows its thumbnail on the left and recorder, time, status and actions on the right. Six memories per page keep thumbnail memory bounded. Open file location selects surviving footage in Explorer. The Discord-link button has been removed. Retry appears only for failed, omitted or unconfirmed delivery, with existing eligibility limits. F7 keeps the current/latest memory. Both keys are configurable.
• Bounded storage: new originals use Gallery/Recovery; kept originals move to Gallery/Saved. Successful unpinned uploads expire after a 30-second Keep window. Recovery defaults to 20 clips, 250 MiB and 24 hours; history defaults to 200 entries. Existing Clips files are preserved. Saved originals are never quota-deleted.
• Controlled retries: at most three deliberate retries with 30/60/120-second backoff, only in the original session/host role. Unknown delivery warns about duplicate posts. Restart/world changes disable old retries; no host webhook secrets are stored in gallery history.
• Timeline controls: hosts can configure raid opening/ending and close-call source/follow-up/playback durations. Defaults retain the 4+6-second raid and 1-to-3 plus 20-to-7 close call. Authenticated host raid IDs allow grouped participant perspectives; unmatched footage stays personal.

• Raid moments: four seconds at local raid entry plus six seconds after its observed end, joined into one clip through the default host webhook, with compatible participant perspectives grouped when identity is available. “Raid ended” includes administrative resets and does not claim victory. Leaving, dying, pause or capture reconfiguration abandons it. Busy/missing segments skip the attempt. Live acceptance remains pending; matched 0.23.2 host/clients required.
