This Goes Here

Valheim.ThisGoesHere

Small over-engineered BepInEx mod to help move files around using yaml configs.

Intended to help mod authors, by letting them supply a config file with their desired file movements.

Note, only files and paths within the BepInEx folder are valid.

ThisGoesHere scans the BepInEx/configs folder for any and all files named Valheim.ThisGoesHere.yml or with a wildcard part to add your own personal touch Valheim.ThisGoesHere.*.yml.

Currently supported operations

• File
• Copy
• Move
• Delete
• Folder
• Copy
• Copy Content
• Move
• Delete

Format

All fields are optional.

PrintComment: #Text to print before running operations.

CopyFile:

• From: #Path to file that should be copied.

To: #Path to file destination. If exists, target is overwritten.

MoveFile:

• From: #Path to file that should be moved

To: #Path to file destination.

DeleteFile:

• #Path to file that should be deleted.

CopyFolder:

• From: #Path to folder that should be copied.

Operations in each config are run in the order:

To: plugins/folder/to_this_file.txt

MoveFile:

• From: config/move_this_file.txt

To: config/to_this_folder/move_this_file.txt

• From: config/move_this_too.txt

To: config/to_this_folder/move_this_too.txt

DeleteFile:

• plugins/and_this.txt

CopyFolder:

• From: config/copy_this_folder/

To: plugins/into_this/

MoveFolder:

Changelog:

• v2.1.2
• Compatibility: Packing YamlDotNet dependency into main dll, to avoid conflicts with other mods.
• v2.1.1
• Fixed missing null-check for CopyFolderContent...
• v2.1.0
• Added CopyFolderContent option.
• v2.0.0
• Converted from plugin to patcher. This means it now needs to be installed in bepinex/patchers instead of bepinex/plugins. It allows This Goes Here to run before any plugins are loaded, meaning even mod dll's can now be properly targetted. Eg., mods can be deleted before they are loaded.
• v1.2.2
• Added missing YamlDotNet, forgot to add it to the bundle. Woops.
• v1.2.1
• Fixed CopyFolder and MoveFolder moving entire 'from'-path into 'to', instead of just the indicated 'from' folder.
