What's New in XPortal Networks

XPortal Networks builds upon the solid foundation of the original XPortal mod by SpikeHimself, expanding it into a dedicated networking framework with extensive multiplayer features and numerous bug fixes:

• Portal Networks: Group portals into distinct networks:
• Global / Public Network: Accessible to all players on the server.
• Player Networks & Private Portals: Portals tied to individual players. Toggle the Private setting so unauthorized players cannot view or teleport through your personal portals.
• Custom Named Networks: Define up to 15 server-wide custom networks (such as Trade Hub, Clan Base, Mining Outposts, or Admin Only) via configuration, complete with real-time hot-reloading.
• Server Admin & Permission Controls: Configurable permissions allowing server admins to manage networks and prevent non-owners from deconstructing portals.
• Bug Fixes & Modernization:
• Upgraded for the latest Valheim versions and .NET Framework 4.8.
• Resolved controller UI legend and navigation issues.
• Fixed dedicated server admin destruction and permission edge-cases.
• Enhanced ZDO network synchronization and reconnection reliability.

Features

🌐 Destination Selection Menu

When interacting with a portal, a clean UI opens allowing you to select your target destination from a dropdown menu. The list displays:

• The destination portal name
• Distance to the destination (in meters)
• Portal light color indicator (when paired with mods like Advanced Portals or Stone Portal)

🔒 Public, Private & Custom Networks

Organize your world’s transportation:

• Global Network: The shared network open to everyone.
• Personal Network: Portals automatically grouped under your character.
• Private Portals: Mark sensitive portals as private so other players cannot use or retarget them.
• Custom Named Networks: Admin-defined channels defined in xportal_networks.json that organize portals by faction, region, or purpose.

⭐ Default Portal Destination

You can set a portal as your Default Portal. Newly constructed portals will immediately link to your default portal automatically, saving you time when setting up forward operating bases.

🏷️ Uncapped Portal Name Length

XPortal Networks removes the vanilla character limit on portal tags, allowing you to give your portals descriptive and memorable names.
