ModGate 0.4.4

ModGate does most of the work of preparing a Valheim player's setup for a modded server. One button downloads the server's required supported packages; players review the result, install and restart, then reconnect.

  • Four server profiles plus Offline, with separate applicable mod configs and saved optional-mod choices.
  • Server-owner controls for required, optional, server-only and client-only mods, extra client mods, and accepted newer versions.
  • Optional server startup updates, off by default, with global and individual choices.
  • Profile checks, repair, restore points, config editing, setup logs, and administrator server health/config tools.
  • Fixes protection of ModGate's own folder during profile switching from an external mod-manager installation.

Install or upgrade

BepInEx must already be installed. Close Valheim or stop the server, then merge the ZIP's BepInEx folder into that installation. Both server and players need both DLLs at version 0.4.4:

BepInEx/plugins/ValheimModGate/ValheimModGate.dll
BepInEx/patchers/ValheimModGate/ValheimModGate.Preloader.dll

Keep existing configs and profiles. Continue using the same external mod-manager profile. Automatic relaunch and encrypted password storage are Windows features; manual next-launch setup is available for other launchers. Supported automatic downloads use Thunderstore/Hexium; Nexus remains manual. ModGate never installs or updates BepInEx and does not reconnect after a restart.

Files

  • ValheimModGate-0.4.4-publish.zip: runtime package with the approved square cover, GitHub homepage in manifest.json, and player/server-owner documentation.
  • ValheimModGate-0.4.4-source.zip: source project, build scripts and tests.
  • ValheimModGate-0.4.4-SHA256SUMS.txt: download checksums.

The corrected package excludes VERIFICATION.md. Runtime DLLs are unchanged from the 0.4.4 build. This is an early release; automated checks do not replace testing actual game rendering, hosting and other mods in your environment.
