PalacePrivileges

Safely clan up for PvP!

Restricts what clan members can do in your castle. Grant more privileges via chat commands.

Installation

This is a server-side mod. (No need to install anything if you're not the server operator.)

  • Install BepInEx.
  • Install HookDOTS.
  • Install VampireCommandFramework.
  • Extract PalacePrivileges.dll into _(VRising folder)/BepInEx/plugins_.

Restricted actions

Some actions may only be performed by the castle owner. Clan members cannot be granted privileges for these restricted actions.

  • Abandoning the castle.
  • Exposing the castle heart.
  • Removing blood from the castle heart.
  • Relocating the castle.

Unrestricted actions

If an enemy could do it, your clan can do it too. Looting boxes, harvesting the garden, etc.\

Put some thought into how you build your castle!

Clan privileges

By default, clan members will have the following privileges:

  • Opening/closing doors without servant locks.
  • To restrict areas of your castle, put them behind servant-locked doors.
  • Opening/closing portcullises (the 2-tile-wide doors). Even with servant locks.
  • Getting raided? Release the Kraken!
  • Using waygates to teleport in/out.
  • Using crafting stations / refineries.
  • Using research tables and the stygian altar.
  • Converting new servants.
  • Starting arena contests.
  • Sow seeds (not saplings) in the garden.

Notable privileges they do NOT have:

  • Building.
  • Lockbox access.
  • Using the small teleporters.
  • Messing with existing servants.
  • Messing with existing prisoners.
  • Messing with arena layouts.
  • Messing with redistribution networks.

In case castle defenses become disabled (enemy used a key), they will be able to:

  • Use any door, just like everyone else.
  • Use small teleporters, just like everyone else.

Privileges

Privileges can be granted / ungranted / forbidden.

  • Grant - Grant privileges to your clan, or to a specific player in your clan.
  • Ungrant - Revoke privileges granted to your clan, or to a specific player.
  • Forbid - Overrule clan privileges for a specific player.

Player privileges only apply while you're in the same clan. But they can be set in advance.

This is all done via chat commands...

Examples

  • You fully trust Bobby.

-.castlePrivs grant player Bobby "all"

  • Let clan members use the small teleporters.

-.castlePrivs grant clan "tp.small"

  • Let clan members waygate out, but not in.

-.castlePrivs ungrant clan "tp.waygateIn"

  • Put some servant-locked doors at the entrance for clan members to use.

-.castlePrivs grant clan "doors.battlement"

  • Clan members will now be able to use all "Battlement Gate" doors. Even with servant locks.
  • Billy is a known scoundrel, but you want to team up for a bit of mayhem.

-.castlePrivs forbid player Billy "all"

  • Join his clan.
  • Billy will have no privileges in your castle, despite being a clan member.
  • Suzy wants to use the prison.

-.castlePrivs grant player Suzy "prison.extractBlood prison.feedSafeFood".

  • Suzy will not be able to feed prisoners gruel or corrupted fish.

Color-coded doors example

Timmy's favorite color is yellow and you made a special room just for him.

  • Block off his room with the door from the Oakveil DLC.
  • Put a servant lock on his door.
  • Grant Timmy the doors.dyedYellow privilege.
  • Dye the door yellow.
  • Now, only you and Timmy will have access to this room!

How to dye doors

  • Can only be done with the Oakveil DLC door.
  • Can be done when placing the door using the color swatch.
  • Can also be done after placing the door:
  • Open the build menu
  • Mouse over the placed door and hold Ctrl
  • Choose the desired color from the color wheel.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:

BepInEx-BepInExPack_V_Risingcheesasaurus-HookDOTS_APIdeca-VampireCommandFramework
