Official Valheim Plus mod may be broken for awhile

[syntaxintact]

From reading the valheim plus discord it appears that the official Valheim+ mod may be broken for some time due to irl circumstances for the owning dev. This fork is being tossed around as an alternative in the discord, and has already pushed out a fix for the most recent patch issues. Might be worth looking into switching from the official mod to this fork, at least until they sort out their issues.

Hey @syntaxintact thank you for the heads up. I created the PR linked above which allows to switch to any other V+ fork on Github. I'm still keeping the original V+ repo as the default, until a new "default" is established or hopefully the original author resumes working on it.

How it works, you can now specify an env var VALHEIM_PLUS_REPO which defaults to valheimPlus/ValheimPlus.
If you set it to VALHEIM_PLUS_REPO=Grantapher/ValheimPlus it'll fetch releases from that repo.

Hope this helps.

@lloesche That sounds like a fantastic approach. Thanks for the quick response!

Using the different valheim plus repo as you suggested sadly did not work for me. I also tried to clear the mapped out /opt/valheim directory without success.
But as my main use-case for the mod is not to have a server password, luckily I can easily live without it for the moment.

docker creation arguments (with stop and rm before that ofc):

docker run -d \
        -p 2456-2457:2456-2457/udp \
        --name valheim \
        --restart=unless-stopped \
        --log-opt max-size=1G \
        --stop-timeout 120 \
        -v /data/valheim/config:/config \
        -v /data/valheim/data:/opt/valheim \
        -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \
        -v /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro \
        -e SERVER_PUBLIC=false \
        -e VALHEIM_PLUS=true \
        -e VALHEIM_PLUS_REPO=Grantapher/ValheimPlus \
        -e SERVER_PASS="" \
        lloesche/valheim-server:latest

Worked great on mine.
Did you delete the existing containers and images and rebuild from scratch?

Also need to install the grantapher version on your local client (you may have done that already)

FYI until it goes "live" (its pre-release) you'll need to manually use the tag as well:

VALHEIM_PLUS_REPO=Grantapher/ValheimPlus

VALHEIM_PLUS_RELEASE=tags/0.9.9.13

https://github.com/Grantapher/ValheimPlus/releases/tag/0.9.9.13

You'll need to update your local game install of ValheimPlus.dll as well

Valheim\BepInEx\plugins copy the ValheimPlus.dll from that github link into your local folder
