TombstoneLock

The Valheim mod TombstoneLock automatically locks Valheim tombstones so only their owner can loot them. In some cases maybe you would like a friend to loot your tombstone for you, in this case, he can request access to your tomb and you can decide to accept or not. The tombstone remains locked for 10 In-game days so that you have enough time to retrieve your items.

Features

• Newly created tombstones are automatically locked to their owner.
• Only the owner can open a locked tombstone.
• Other players trigger an automatic unlock request (only if the owner is online).
• The owner is notified and grants access with the /accept chat command.
• Requests expire after 20 seconds; both the owner and the requesting player are notified when a request expires.
• Only one outstanding request at a time.
• A player can send another unlock request only after 2 minutes.
• A tombstone locked for 10 in-game days or more unlocks automatically — anyone can then loot it, no request needed.

Note: enforcement is client-side. All connected players should run the mod (see AzuAntiCheat below) for it to be effective.

How it works

Tombstone owner

When another player attempts to access your tombstone, a message appears in your chat telling you who is asking. To grant access, type in the chat:

/accept

You have 20 seconds to respond. After that the request expires, both of you are notified in the chat, and the player must ask again. Accepting unlocks that tombstone permanently for everyone.

Other players

Interact with a locked tombstone as usual.

• If the owner is online, an unlock request is sent automatically.
• If the owner types /accept, the tombstone is unlocked and can be looted by anyone.
• If the owner is offline or doesn't respond within 20 seconds, the tombstone stays locked.
• Any tombstone locked for 10 in-game days or more can be looted freely, without asking.

Installation

• Install a mod manager like r2modman
• Open it and download the mod from there or manually from here

Important: every player must install the mod. Because enforcement is client-side, a player without the mod can open any tombstone normally.

To make sure everyone runs it, use a server-side mod enforcer such as AzuAntiCheat.

Debugging

• useful link to setting your debug environment
• pdb2mdb executable is needed only to debug and can be commented out
• a .pdb from assembly_valheim.dll can be generated with ILSpy
• DirectPlay mod is pretty useful to avoid select a character and world on every debug session
