RaidForge Mod - README

Description

RaidForge is a mod for V Rising designed to give server administrators enhanced control over raid mechanics. It allows setting custom raid schedules for any day of the week and automating Siege Golem health based on server runtime duration.

This mod allows you to:

• Manually enable or disable raiding periods instantly.
• Configure specific daily raid windows using the server's local time.
• Automate Siege Golem health adjustments based on the number of days the server has been running since a specified start date.
• Manually set Siege Golem health levels.
• View the raid schedule and upcoming raid times.

Features

• Manual Raid Control: Instantly enable (.raidon) or disable (.raidoff) raids, overriding any schedule.
• Scheduled Raids: Define custom start and end times for raiding for each day of the week via configuration file.
• Automated Golem Health:
  • Set a "server start date".
  • Configure specific Siege Golem health levels to activate automatically on certain days after the start date.
  • Enable/disable this automation via config.
  • Set the start date easily using the .golemstartdate command.
• Manual Golem Control:
  • Check the current golem health level (.golemcurrent).
  • Manually set specific golem health levels using .golemset <LevelName>.
  • List available golem health levels and their estimated HP (.golemlist).
• Player Commands: Players can check the time until the next raid (.raidt) and view the weekly schedule (.raiddays).
• Configurable Logging: Enable verbose logging via config for easier troubleshooting.

Important Note on Server Settings

For the scheduled raid times to work correctly, you should configure your server's base raid settings appropriately in the ServerHostSettings.json:

• Set CastleDamageMode to TimeRestricted.
• Set the start and end times for all days within GameTimeModifiers to cover the entire 24-hour period (e.g., StartTime 0, EndTime 24) or simply set them both to 00:00. This allows the mod to fully control the active raid windows based on its own schedule. If you leave default server raid times active, they might conflict with the mod's schedule.

Commands

Admin-Only Commands:

• .reloadraidforge: Reloads all RaidForge configurations (Raid Schedule & Golem Automation).
• .raidon: Forces raids ON immediately, overriding the schedule.
• .raidoff: Forces raids OFF immediately, overriding the schedule.
• .golemstartdate: Sets the Golem Automation start date/time to the moment the command is run. Saves to config.
• .golemcurrent: Shows the current SiegeWeaponHealth setting.
• .golemset <LevelName>: Manually sets the SiegeWeaponHealth. Example: .golemset High. Use .golemlist to see valid LevelNames.
• .golemlist: Lists all available Siege Golem health levels and their estimated HP.

Player-Accessible Commands:

• .raidt: Shows the time remaining until the next scheduled raid window begins.
• .raiddays: Displays the configured weekly raid schedule.

Configuration

Configuration is done via the BepInEx config file, typically located at BepInEx/config/RaidForge.cfg.

Key sections:

• [Daily Schedule]: Configure raid start/end times (HH:mm format) for each day. Set EnableVerboseLogging to true or false.
• [GolemAutomation]:
  • EnableGolemAutomation: true or false to turn the feature on/off.
  • ServerStartDate: Set the reference start date/time (yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss) for day counting. Can be set via .golemstartdate.
• [GolemAutomation.Levels]:
  • {LevelName}_Enable: true or false for each health level (e.g., High_Enable = true).
  • {LevelName}_Day: Day number (0+) when the corresponding level should activate if enabled (e.g., High_Day = 1). Use -1 to effectively disable a level even if _Enable is true.

Installation Instructions

1. Ensure BepInEx IL2CPP is installed correctly on your server.
2. Download the latest RaidForge.dll release.
3. Place RaidForge.dll into your server’s BepInEx/plugins directory.
