ServerSyncedBoatMapExploreRadius
Increases the map exploration radius while you're driving a boat. The radius value is hosted on the dedicated server and synchronized to every client on connect, so the whole server uses the same setting and players can't override it locally.
This is a derivative of nearbear's BiggerBoatMapExploreRadius. The boat-detection and explore logic is unchanged; the only difference is that the radius config now flows from the server to clients via the ServerSync library (which is bundled inside the DLL — no extra dependency to install).
Configuration
All config lives in the usual BepInEx config file:
BepInEx/config/nearbear_ServerSyncedBoatMapExploreRadius.cfg.
| Setting | Default | Range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
BoatExploreRadius |
500 |
10–10000 |
Map reveal radius in meters while sailing. Synced from the server. |
LockConfiguration |
true |
bool | When true, the server's BoatExploreRadius is authoritative and clients cannot change it locally. |
How to set the radius
- On the dedicated server, open
BepInEx/config/nearbear_ServerSyncedBoatMapExploreRadius.cfgand setBoatExploreRadius = <your value>. LeaveLockConfiguration = true. - Restart the server.
- When clients connect, they automatically receive the server's value — they don't need to edit anything locally. The client's own config file will be overwritten with the server's value while connected.
If you'd rather let each player keep their own radius, set
LockConfiguration = false on the server. Clients will then use whatever is in
their local config file.
Requirements
- BepInExPack Valheim (only Thunderstore dependency — ServerSync is bundled inside this mod's DLL)
ServerSync is only effective on a dedicated server. In single-player or a player-hosted (peer-to-peer) session, the local config file is always the source of truth.
Credits
- nearbear — original BiggerBoatMapExploreRadius mod. The Minimap patch in this mod is essentially unchanged from the original.
- blaxxun-boop — ServerSync, the config synchronization library used here.
CHANGELOG
Changelog
1.0.0
- Initial release.
- Fork of nearbear's BiggerBoatMapExploreRadius with the
BoatExploreRadiusconfig synchronized from the dedicated server to all clients via ServerSync. - Added
LockConfigurationconfig entry (defaulttrue) to make the server's value authoritative. - ServerSync is ILRepacked into the mod DLL, so it does not appear as a separate Thunderstore dependency.
