Venture Multiplayer Tweaks

Created by [email protected].

Introduction

Commonly requested tweaks for servers and single player modes. Toggle the Valkyrie, track Hugin tutorials, customize arrival messages, hide the Haldor map pin, PVP options, and more!

Features

• Set the maximum player count for servers.
• Set the default spawn point for all Players.
• Toggle Valkyrie opening cut scene.
• Add Hugin tutorials to the seen list when tutorials are turned off.
• Toggle or customize the "I have arrived!" message on new player connection.
• Toggle the Haldor trader Map Pin.
• Toggle Player Map Position Icons always on or off.
• Toggle PVP always on or off.
• Toggle teleporting on a PVP death.
• Toggle skill loss on a PVP death.
• ServerSync included.

Player Default Spawn Point

Set the PlayerDefaultSpawnPoint by entering an x,z pair (for example: 20.5, -80.7), or leave this config blank to use the default start location. This mod will calculate the y position for you based on the ground height at the location. To get your player's current position in game you can use the vanilla "pos" command, which will return your position in an x,y,z format (for example 20.5, 5.3, -80.7). This is the location the game will use when spawning new players, or respawning dead players with no bed point.

Hugin Tutorials

The base game added a setting to toggle Hugin tutorials on or off under the misc category. This mod will now use the game setting rather than the old config setting. However, since it is not a feature in the base game, this mod will still add all discovered tutorials to the player's "seen" list when tutorials are disabled. If the tutorials at the beginning of the game annoy you, turn off tutorials until you need to see any new tutorials your character discovers. There will not be a flood of tutorials to shift through when you finally need them again!

If you use another mod that relies on Hugin spawns (otherwise known as the Raven), EnableHugin must be true for that mod to work. (If you still want to disable tutorials with my mod I can make an update for compatibility with other mods if you send me all the deets!)

I Have Arrived!

This mod gives you the ability to customize the arrival message, or turn it off completely. Change the default vanilla "shout" to a normal message (UseArrivalShout = false) to get rid of the arrival pings but still use the login message. Set your own message string with OverrideArrivalMessage to change the arrival message for all players.

Haldor Map Pin

This mod gives you the ability to block the Haldor trader map pin from showing on the map. This feature is flexible and can be disabled or enabled at any time. If disabled (EnableHaldorMapPin = false) the pin will not show for all players when the Haldor trader is discovered. Useful for keeping the location of Haldor a secret until you choose to reveal it!

Player Map Pin Position

Force player map position icons always on or always off. To use set OverridePlayerMapPins to True. Disables the toggle in the minimap.

Player VS Player

Gives you the ability to force PVP always on or always off (OverridePlayerPVP must be set to true, then uses the value of ForcePlayerPVPOn). Disables the toggle in the UI. Live changes to the configs will not apply until a player respawns/relogs. Remember if PVP is off you cannot kill tames without the butcher knife! There is an option to prevent skill loss caused by a PvP death to incentivize players to fight each other on PvP focused servers. You also have the option to turn off teleporting to your bed (or default spawn point) when another player kills you (set TeleportOnPVPDeath to false). Useful for roleplaying situations. Playing with friends and one of them is about to die? Just slap them across the face to pull them back into reality, don't let their spirit wander, the time to fight is here and now!

Installation

This mod needs to be on both the client and server for all features to work. When this mod is put on a server it will sync the configurations from the server to all clients on connection. Live changes to the configurations will not always take effect until the player relogs into the world/server.
