SoulForge

SoulForge

SoulForge is an open-source mod for V Rising that gives server administrators granular control over special container placements and visual glow effects for shard holders. This helps manage server balance by preventing players from stashing powerful shards and allows for deep visual customization.

Features

• Block Shard Container Placement: Individually enable or disable the ability for players to build specific shard-holding containers.
• Solarus Container
• Monster (Adam) Container
• Manticore (Winged Horror) Container
• Dracula Container
• Morgana Container

• Customize Visual Glows:
• Enable or disable the visual glow effect for each of the five shard types when equipped.
• Change the glow effect for each shard by editing its Prefab GUID in the config file, allowing for full personalization.

• Reload On-the-Fly: A simple chat command lets administrators reload all configuration settings live without needing to restart the server.

Installation

• Download: Download the latest SoulForge.dll from the official mod release page.
• Transfer: Place the SoulForge.dll file into your server’s BepInEx/plugins folder.
• Generate Config: Launch the server once. This will generate the configuration file at the following location: BepInEx/config/SoulForge/SoulForge_Glows.cfg

All settings are managed in the SoulForge_Glows.cfg file.
