CharactersVault changelog

v2.6.1

Valheim 1.0 Compatibility: Added full support for the Valheim 1.0 release! Resolved the crash during character saving and syncing caused by the game's internal updates, while maintaining seamless backwards compatibility with older versions.
Save System Update: Updated profile writing to work cleanly with Valheim 1.0's new platform storage system.

Unified Player Reset: Streamlined player unbinding and data wipes into a single command: /cv reset [playerId] (with aliases /cv wipe, /cv remove, /cv unbind, /cv delete). This cleanly wipes server-side progress, deletes old saves, and removes the character lock in one step.
Immediate Disconnect on Reset: If an admin resets an online player, they are now immediately disconnected with a helpful message so they can join back fresh with a new character.
Character Name Validation: Joining with a new character name after an unbind or reset now automatically discards any old character saves to prevent accidental carryover.
Updated README and Icon: Updated the README and icon for the mod.

First-Join Reset Fix: Fixed an issue where local inventory, skills, or items could carry over to the server when joining with a new character for the first time.
Upload Protection: Prevented players from accidentally overwriting server saves if they are not registered to that character name.
Automatic Config Cleanup: The mod now automatically removes old, unused configuration settings from previous versions on startup.

Smoother Syncing & Performance: Fast actions (like sorting items in chests or rapid skilling) are now bundled intelligently, greatly reducing network lag and server load without risking any lost progress.
Admin Commands Prefix: Updated admin commands to /cv (with /vault alias).

Chat Formatting Fix: Fixed an issue where raw color tags were displayed in chat when running admin commands.

Character Selection Warning: Added a reminder banner on the Character Selection screen to prevent accidental loss of existing character progression (can be toggled in config).
Clear Disconnect Messages: If a connection fails or is rejected (such as a mod version mismatch), the exact reason is now displayed directly on the disconnect screen.

Platform ID Support: Added support for platform IDs (Steam_... and Xbox_...) for player bindings and snapshot files.
Sync Reliability: Added transfer size limits, chunk validation, and timeout handling for safer profile syncs.
Data Safety: Atomic file saves for bindings and snapshots to prevent corruption if the server crashes.
Cleanup: Removed obsolete config options, unused mismatch reports, and legacy code.
