Valheim_plus.cfg not loaded

[frankbuma]

Hi, i have some issues with valheim plus regarding the config file. The server ist running but the settings which i made in the config file are not loaded (some things like the size of a chest...). My compose:

version: '3'
services:
  valheim:
    image: lloesche/valheim-server
    container_name: valheim
    restart: always
    environment:
      - SERVER_NAME=valheim_buma
      - WORLD_NAME=Augustiner
      - STATUS_HTTP=true
      - SERVER_PUBLIC=true
      - VALHEIM_PLUS=true
      - VALHEIM_PLUS_RELEASE=latest
      - VALHEIM_PLUS_REPO=Grantapher/ValheimPlus
      - BEPINEX=false
      - STEAMCMD_ARGS=validate
      - BACKUPS_MAX_COUNT=0
      - BACKUPS_MAX_AGE=120
      - TZ=CET

    volumes:
      - /srv/dev-disk-by-label-Files/Config/Valheim/valheim-server-config:/config
    ports:
      - 2456-2458:2456-2458/udp

What am i doing wrong and how can i get the config loaded again? I hope you guys can help me

Thanks in advance!

I don't think it works by loading the config, but you have to send the config variables through the compose file.

/config/valheimplus/valheim_plus.cfg

Thats the file it updates

You can add the config settings like this:

  - VPCFG_Building_enabled=true
  - VPCFG_Building_noWeatherDamage=true
  - VPCFG_Building_maximumPlacementDistance=20
  - VPCFG_Building_pieceComfortRadius=24
  - VPCFG_Building_alwaysDropResources=true
  - VPCFG_Building_alwaysDropExcludedResources=true
  - VPCFG_Building_enableAreaRepair=true

I have tried both methods (mounted volume containing the config file and environment variables). I'm using the latest image and Grantapher/ValheimPlus 0.9.9.15-alpha1. I see in the log files lines like the following:

Apr 26 05:33:49 supervisord: valheim-server [Info   :Valheim Plus] Configuration file loaded succesfully.

Everything seems very clearly to be working and loading correctly, all values are being printed to the logs correctly. And yet when I log in to the server with my client (with matching valheim-plus version), none of the features are enabled....

Any ideas what could be happening? Is this a client issue or a server issue?

[draconb]

I don't have the bepinex set to false and also am forcing server side config

  - VALHEIM_PLUS=true
  - VALHEIM_PLUS_REPO=Grantapher/ValheimPlus
  - VALHEIM_PLUS_RELEASE=tags/0.9.9.15
  - VPCFG=/config/valheimplus/valheim_plus.cfg
  - VPCFG_ValheimPlus_serverBrowserAdvertisement=false
  - VPCFG_Server_enforceMod=true

Maybe try that?

Also latest you are using is set to just 0.9.9.15 not 0.9.9.15-alpha1, or at least thats how its working if you go to https://github.com/Grantapher/ValheimPlus/releases/latest

So maybe try using that for both or update it to tags/0.9.9.15-alpha1 to force that version.

I’ve been experiencing this as well with the Grantapher/ValheimPlus, seems the clients aren’t getting the config properly from the server. But the server is functioning like it’s supposed to. For example if you set the speed at which a smelter processes materials, those changes are reflected amongst anyone connected to the server, but if you set it to accept something like 80 instead of 20; the clients all only see the default values.

When I ran it locally I saw the same behaviour, the host gets everything; but the clients only get the subtle things like different material processing or increased skill experience.

Hi,

first of all thanks for your help! @draconb : i tried you suggestion but it did not work: the config is still not loaded

[draconb]

https://github.com/Grantapher/ValheimPlus/releases/tag/0.9.9.15-alpha2

Looks like he broke it maybe in the alpha1 you were using, so looks like it should be fixed now!

[frankbuma]

Hi, i just tried it like this:

  - VALHEIM_PLUS_RELEASE=tags/0.9.9.15-alpha2

  - VALHEIM_PLUS_REPO=Grantapher/ValheimPlus

  - VPCFG=/config/valheimplus/valheim_plus.cfg

  - VPCFG_ValheimPlus_serverBrowserAdvertisement=false

  - VPCFG_Server_enforceMod=true

the config is still not loaded or working...

[BulletCatcher82]

I´ve tried everything, but nothing still works. (Environment Variables, and Configfile) is there still no woraround for this problem?

[HellDuke]

Not quite a fix but a workaround. Instead of putting your configs into /config/valheimplus/valheim_plus.cfg update the values in /data/plus/BepInEx/config/valheim_plus.cfg and it should work.

After a break from Valheim I updated my server and client and noticed as well that the configs were not working, but if you update the default ones they work fine, so I guess it's just some override that does not work.

[ryancmoon]

edit: ignore this, my problem was I needed to add this in the deployment yml:

- name: VALHEIM_PLUS_REPO
  value: "Grantapher/ValheimPlus"

[frankbuma]

so after a while i tried to run valheim again and after a little update on the client side the server works perfectly fine again. Thanks for all the help! Have a nice day :-)
