About this mod Author’s original text

ShipPins

ValheimPlus shows your boats and carts on the map, but only the four vanilla ones. ShipPins shows all of them.

V+'s displayCartsAndBoats option pins the vanilla Cart, Raft, Karve and Longship. Ships and carts added by other mods, such as the OdinShip boats or the LoxWagon wagons, never get a pin. ShipPins takes over that V+ routine and runs it for every ship and cart in the game.

What it does

  • Pins every object built on the game's own ship or cart, vanilla and modded. There is no list to maintain, so new ship and cart mods are picked up automatically.
  • Uses V+'s own pin code, so the pins look and behave exactly like V+'s. Each pin is the ship's build icon at double size, it updates every 5 seconds, it hides for the ship you are steering, and it is never saved to your map.
  • Also pins vanilla objects V+ misses: the Ashlands Drakkar, and the Catapult and Battering Ram, which are built on the game's cart.
  • Modded ships and carts are labeled with their in-game name. The vanilla four keep V+'s labels.
  • Client side only. It is not needed on the server.

Requirements

  • ValheimPlus (Grantapher fork) with [Map] displayCartsAndBoats = true in its config.
  • BepInExPack Valheim.

Config

The file is BepInEx/config/onononoki.ShipPins.cfg.

| Setting | Default | What it does |

|---|---|---|

| Enabled | true | Pins every ship and cart. Off gives V+'s own four pins back. |

Compatibility

  • Works with mods that build their ships and carts on the game's own ship and cart, which is the usual way. Checked against the code of OdinShip and LoxWagon.
  • If a V+ update changes its pin code, ShipPins logs a warning and steps aside, and V+ keeps showing its own pins.
  • Safe to add or remove at any time. Nothing is saved to the world or character.

How it works

A Harmony prefix on V+'s Minimap.UpdateMap postfix runs the same steps through V+'s own CheckPin, icon list and pin list, for every prefab that has a Ship or Vagon component.

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. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
