Pet Protection New

A Valheim 1.0 replacement build based on Selective Pet Protection 0.2.2 / the working 0.2.3 compatibility repack.

Changes in 1.0.1

• While a tamed pet is in blue-shield stun recovery (isRecoveringFromStun), incoming Character.RPC_Damage is ignored at the target-side damage handler before normal damage/AI processing runs.
• Replaces the previous 1.0.0 Character.Damage interception; only one damage interception point is used.
• The original recovery timer and original MonsterAI.UpdateSleep wake sequence remain in control.
• If the protection mode is changed away from the blue stun shield while the pet is recovering (including Shift+T), the same original recovery-finish/wake sequence is used immediately as a manual escape/reset.
• No patches to MonsterAI.Wakeup, MonsterAI.OnDamaged, follow/target/movement AI, and no extra recovery timers or ZDO keys.

Existing controls

• Shift+T: cycle protection on the hovered tamed creature.
• !stun: blue shield / stun recovery protection.
• !god: immortal protection.
• !none: remove protection.

Important

This is intended to replace, not run alongside, the old Selective Pet Protection package or Pet Protection New 1.0.0. Disable/remove the previous package before enabling this one.

Install through r2modman: Import local mod and select the ZIP.

Changelog

1.0.1

• Moved the recovery damage block from Character.Damage to Character.RPC_Damage for a narrower target-side multiplayer interception.
• Only tamed pets with isRecoveringFromStun == true are blocked.
• No simultaneous Character.Damage interception is retained.
• Preserved the original recovery timer and the existing Shift+T/protection-change wake failsafe.

1.0.0

• Renamed package/plugin to Pet Protection New.
• Blocked damage at Character.Damage only while a tamed pet was actively recovering from blue-shield stun.
• Protection-state change away from blue shield finishes recovery through the original wake path.
