Valheim Ultimate Standalone Mod Pack Setup

A Mod Pack Tailored to a Dedicated Setup, with Custom Save Directory!

Invoering

In Order for this to be a Dedicated Standalone Mod Pack you need to:

• Rename/Move your Valheim Directory so as to not let Steam Update over top your Mod Pack.
• When you launch the .EXE it will still load through steam even if it’s out of date.

You can also add the .exe to Steam as a second/custom option.

Steam menu bar up top select Games > Add a Non-Steam Game to my Library > Locate .exe file > bevestigen.

Save Directory Change

This is going to Help keep any Heavy Mod Changes from breaking anything due to an Update or another Valheim Build loading the Default Save Directory. Useful for Multiple Mod Packs!

Download dnSpy a .DLL Editor

• Find the .DLL to Edit and Backup at

  Valheim\valheim_Data\Managed\assembly_utils.dll

• Open with/Drag+Drop the assembly_utils.dll into dnSpy and Search for “GetSaveDataPath” and Double click on it to decompile for Editing

Goed, that worked! It’s a minor disappointment that the %username% doesn’t work but it’s not important at all. Essentially to clear up some Detail issues it’s like this to change the FULL Save Directory.

assembly_utils.dll

Search for GetSaveDataPath

Class: public static class Utils
Method: public static string GetSaveDataPath()

Right Click and selec then Edit Method (C#)…

Just remove THIS from the method

{
		if (Utils.m_saveDataOverride != null)
		{
			return Utils.m_saveDataOverride;
		}
		return Application.persistentDataPath;
	}

and do

{
return "Pad";
}

Voorbeeld “Pad”

"C:/Users/%username%/AppData/LocalLow/IronGateEA/Valheim0.146.11";

Complete Example

// Token: 0x02000012 RID: 18
public static class Utils
{
    // Token: 0x06000063 RID: 99 RVA: 0x0000260F File Offset: 0x0000080F
    public static string GetSaveDataPath()
    {
        return "C:/Users/SlikRick/AppData/LocalLow/IronGateEA/Valheim0.146.11/";
    }
}

Redden

It’s Important to Note that this was done with 0.147.3 and works back to 0.145.6. Any Further and the Process is DIFFERENT! Tested and Still Works on 0.206.5.
