WackysDatabase

Installation

Download and extract the latest version of WackysDatabase into the BepInEx plugin folder (usually Valheim/BepInEx/plugins). Run Valheim and join a world. Go to Valheim/BepInEx/config/ and locate the "wackysDatabase" folder. Inside the "wackysDatabase" folder, you will find subfolders: Put the mod on the server to force server sync. The YAML files only need to be on the server. There's no need to share the YAML files.

For multiplayer, the mod has been locked down to prevent easy cheating. However, it is recommended to use the AzuAntiCheat and ServerCharacters mods for additional security. AzuAntiCheat ServerCharacters

There are seven (9) Objects that WackyDB touches. Items, Recipes, Pieces, Creatures, Pickables(Pickables and Treebase) Materials, Textures, AOEs and Projectiles.

Items are things in your inventory, you can pickup and maybe equip them.

Recipes are used to construct items, CraftingStations can be workbench, forge, or hand crafted (craftingStation": "")

Pieces are what you use in your hammer and hoe to construct or plant. piecehammers

Creatures are mobs, bosses ect.

Pickable are plants that you can pick like mushrooms, carrots, flint, ect. When you pick a pickable, it gives you the item associated to it.

Treebase are the final tree grown.

When you place pickable you are actually placing a piece in the (hoe usually). The piece controls how the plant will grow until it matures into a pickable.

Materials are the basic "colors" in the game, but hold a lot more than just RBG, can they can be tricky to get just right.

Textures are .pngs that hold the feel, appearance, or consistency of a surface or substance.

AOEs are area of effect objects that can be used for damage, buffs, or debuffs.

Projectiles are objects that can be used for damage, buffs, or debuffs. They are usually spawned from a weapon or a creature. ( You can be very creative here). Use random items to spawn projectiles, or use a projectile to spawn an item.

CustomData is special data on items that is used to set unique attributes on individual items. With wackydb you can edit, add or delete data. m_customData is a Dictionary<string, string>

Most lines in the YAMLS can be deleted. Only the required ones need to be in the files, when the line is deleted the computer interprets that as a null value.

Null is like, I don't know, so I don't care, use the orginal values.

To delete the existing values you will use either '' for strings, "delete" for SE Effects or "-" for multiliners.
