📋 About This Mod
Valheim ServerSideMap
Share your map and pins with others!
This sweet mod completely moves the map and pins to the serverside, meaning you will receive
map and pin updates even while you are offline. The map and pins are saved and loaded along with the world and sent to you when you connect!
This plugin completely moves the explored map and created pins to the server.
As clients explore, they will send their explored areas to the server who will then
distribute it to all connected clients. When a client joins, the server will synchronize the
currently explored areas to the client. Pins are shared as well but default to false and need to be enabled.
When pin sharing is used, all newly created pins are send to the server who saves them along with the
explored area.
Installation
0. This mod requires BepinEx
1. Place the ServerSideMap.dll inside your BepInX plugin folder on your server and client
2. Restart Server and Client
Hildir Update
Due to an unknown reason, the .explored file got wipe and set to zero bytes.
If you were using the pin system, you will need to restore a backup of the file.
Otherwise, no action is required as it will be regenerated and the explored progress
from players will be synchronized when they log back in again.
MANUAL INTERVENTION REQUIRED! (Server Admins)
Valheim changed their folder structure of world/save files and moved the world files to the new place.
Due to this you need to:
1) Locate the save folder of your Valheim worlds
2) Move the .explored file that belongs to your world to the new location
