WackysDatabase

WackysDatabase by Wackymole Version 1.2.9

The short summary is OpenDatabase + ServerSync + Recipecustomization + Armor Customization + PieceLvlRequirements + some other small fields + item/piece/recipe cloning + material changing for cloned items/pieces + name changing for items/pieces(translating)

WackysDatabase

• WackysDatabase is a mod for Valheim it requires BepInEx for Valheim.
• With this mod you are able to control all items/recipes/pieces via JSON files.
• WackysDatabase also allows you to make clone/mock of these objects as well.
• This mod is one of the last to load in the game.
• As such it can touch almost all normal and modded objects which is the primary goal for this mod, but cloned objects may not behave well with some mods.
• You can not load into singleplayer and then load into Multiplayer. - No easy cheating

General Knowledge

There are three (3) Objects that WackyDB touches. Items, Recipes, Pieces.

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

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

Installation

Download and extract the latest version of WackysDatabase into the BepInEx plugin folder (usually Valheim/BepInEx/plugins )

Now run Valheim and join a world. After that go to Valheim/BepInEx/config/. There should be a folder called wackysDatabase, inside of that folder are currently three folders /Items/ /Recipes/ and /Pieces/. Old wackyDatabase was in plugins, this should automatically be moved.

Put the mod on the Server to force Server Sync. The Jsons files only have to be on the Server. No need to share the Jsons.

For Multiplayer, the mod has been locked down to prevent easy cheating, but I recommend https://valheim.thunderstore.io/package/Azumatt/AzuAntiCheat/ and https://valheim.thunderstore.io/package/Smoothbrain/ServerCharacters/ as well.

Warning 1.2.5 and Lower will delete wackysDatabase folder in Plugins on Update, please backup.

Configuration file BepInEx/config/WackyMole.WackysDatabase.cfg

The configs and their defaults are:

Force Server Config = true // forces server sync

Enable this mod = true

IsDebug = true // tells you what is being loaded/ other basic actions

StringisDebug = false // debugs your strings.. extra logs

IsAutoReload = false // auto reloads instead of wackydb_reload

Console Commands

• You will need to reference https://valheim-modding.github.io/Jotunn/data/objects/item-list.html for Prefab names. Thank you JVL team
• While in game press F5 to open the game console then type help for more informations. To enable console for valheim - launch options add "-console"

wackydb_reload - Primary way to reload all the Json files in wackysDatabase folder

wackydb_dump [item/recipe/piece] [ItemName] - dump individual preloaded object to log

wackydb_dump_all - writes a dump log file for all previously loaded info. May or may not work with clones. (doesn't work on multiplayer)

wackydb_save_recipe [ItemName] - saves a Recipe Json in wackysDatabase Recipe Folder

wackydb_save_piece [ItemName] - saves a Piece for easy editing in Json (piecehammer only works for clones)

wackydb_save_item [ItemName] - saves a Item Json in wackysDatabase Item Folder

wackydb_help -- commands

wackydb_clone [recipe/item/piece] [Prefab to clone] [Unique name for the clone] - clone an object and change it differently than a base game object.

• For Example: wackydb_clone item SwordIron WackySword

There is a optional 4th parameter for clone RECIPES ONLY [original item prefab to use for recipe](Optional 4th parameter for a cloned item's recipes ONLY) For example you can already have item WackySword loaded in game, but now want a recipe. WackySword Uses SwordIron - wackydb_clone recipe WackySword RWackySword SwordIron - otherwise manually edit

wackydb_clone_recipeitem [Prefab to clone] [clone name](clones item and recipe at same time)( Recipe name will be Rname) - instead of cloning an item and then recipe, do both at once. Saves you the trouble of manually editing recipe name and prefab.

wackydb_vfx - future use

wackydb_material - saves a Materials.txt file in wackysDatabase for the different types of materials you can use for cloned items/pieces.

General Options:

-Don't use the '@' symbol. I use it to break strings apart. It will break everything.

name: is GameObject name must be unique
m_name: is the in game name - can be used for translating
clone: whether an object is a clone or not - true/false
clonePrefabName: if it is a clone, the object needs to reference the original prefab.

Item Options:

cloneMaterial: You can change the material(colorish) of a cloned object. Images on nexus https://www.nexusmods.com/valheim/mods/1825 of the various changes you can make. Use wackydb_material to view a list of materials. Probably up to a 1/3 don't work or make the object invisible.

m_damages: how much and what type of damage is inflicted.

m_damagesPerLevel: how much and what type of damage per upgraded lvl

m_armor: If object is equitable, like armor. Gives armor value to player

m_value: if value is >0. Then the object becomes salable at Trader. The Object Description gets a yellow Valuable notice. Just like base game you don't know what object you are selling to Trader.

damageModifiers: - From https://www.nexusmods.com/valheim/mods/1162 - Thx aedenthorn - I did added water damage in 1.1.8

Damage modifiers are a list of colon-separated pairs, e.g. for the Wolf Chest armor: - "damageModifiers":["Frost:Resistant"]

The first value is the damage type, the second value is the resistance level.

Valid damage types include:

Blunt Slash Pierce Chop Pickaxe Physical Fire Frost Lightning Elemental Poison Spirit Water

##Water
Normal - no change
Resistant - increases Wet status countdown speed by 100%
Weak - decreases Wet status countdown speed by 1/3
Immune - prevents Wet status effect
Ignore - prevents Wet status effect
VeryResistant - prevent wet status effect application except when swimming, increases Wet status countdown speed by 100%
VeryWeak - decreases Wet status countdown speed by 2/3

Valid resistence levels include:

Normal Resistant Weak Immune Ignore VeryResistant VeryWeak

m_blockPower: Very useful for shields m_blockPowerPerLevel:

m_timedBlockBonus is the Parry bonus

m_attackStamina set both Primary and Secondary attacks. Will expand upon in future.

The rest you can probably figure out.

Piece Options:

piecehammer: default is the Hammer or Hoe: it can't really check for modded Hammers. Change this to the modded hammer prefab manually.

adminonly: Makes certain pieces only for admins.

craftingStation: What craftingstation needs to be near you to build the piece. Default: $piece_workbench

minStationLevel: Checks what level craftingstation is needed before building piece.

reqs: requirements to build: Item:amount:amountPerLevel:refundable,

cloneMaterial: You can change the material(colorish) of any (1.2.4) object. Images on nexus https://www.nexusmods.com/valheim/mods/1825 of the various changes you can make.

• Use wackydb_material to view a list of materials. Probably up to a 1/3 don't work or make the object invisible. "material1,material2" (full,half health)(no spaces)
• Otherwise "material1", one material results in material being pasted for both full health and half-health. "same_mat" or "no_wear" sets pieces to have no wear material.
• Should work for any piece at full health, some pieces change textures and models at 3/4 and 1/2 health, this won't stop them from changing. Maybe in future.

Recipe Options:

Cloned recipes need a unique name.

1.2.4 Expanded Recipe Compatibility to Recipe_ ( Modification only, no cloning)

If cloning a recipe of a cloned item, clonePrefabName needs to be cloned item prefab.

Recipe searches for prefab to put recipe next to it.

Arrows x50 will be put above Arrow x20

reqs: requirements to build: Item:amount:amountPerLevel:refundable,

Last notes:

This mod should load last. It needs to so it can touch all other mods.

You can make changes to that OP bow and make it more realistic on damage or build requirements. Or even set a build piece to adminonly.

clone the Item and change the material to make it a more appealing color.

Submit pull requests to https://github.com/Wacky-Mole/WackysDatabase . The primary purpose of this mod is to edit objects, not to create clones/mocks.

Bugs/Incompatible Mods:

• Friendlies Reloaded - https://valheim.thunderstore.io/package/Horem/Friendlies_Reloaded/ - Will break WackyDB ( investigating)
