Changelog

0.1.10

• Rename the visible mod to Still a Viking? and add the approved skull-and-rift icon to the package and arena menu.
• Update the hammer category, gate/key display names and HUD branding.
• Keep the existing plugin GUID, assembly name, save paths, prefab identities and network identifiers to preserve continuity with DreadRifts.
• Include the automatic Russian/English localization from 0.1.9.
• Compile only; no automated or gameplay tests run.

0.1.9

• Add Russian and English localization, selected independently from each client’s Valheim language; use English for other languages.
• Localize arena menus, readiness circles, storage labels, tooltips, progress and server notifications on the receiving client.
• Refresh the arena interface when the game language changes; preserve native Valheim and EpicLoot item localization.
• Build only; no automated or gameplay tests run. Not published.

0.1.8

• Show the recorded biome and checkpoint level when attempting to withdraw from a warehouse locked after defeat, including Take All.
• Consolidate compatible stored resources incrementally, including existing single-unit coal drops. Preserve reserved entries and custom item data.
• Normalize irrelevant durability when comparing non-durable stackable items.
• Replace new boss material rewards with genuine EpicLoot Epic equipment plus independent Legendary/Mythic bonuses at the agreed difficulty rates.
• Select weapon/armor bases from EpicLoot's configured tables for the completed arena biome; Ancient remains a distinct, excluded rarity.
• Add versioned, once-only equipment grants to existing personal boss-reward records. Preserve existing items and defer unavailable generation without marking it complete.
• Build only; no game tests or automated tests were run.

0.1.7

• Replaced the custom warehouse window with Valheim's native chest interface, tooltips, drag-and-drop and stack-splitting dialog.
• Storage rows grow automatically with the contents; no fixed storage slot cap.
• Fixed withdrawals requiring an empty slot when compatible carried stacks still had room.
• Added partial deposits and withdrawals, keeping the remaining quantity in storage and preserving native item metadata.
• Added native Take All and batched Stack All actions; deposits onto compatible stored stacks consolidate when possible.
• Reused unchanged decoded items and skipped rebuilding unchanged contents during refresh.
• Kept authoritative server storage, item reservations and durable character receipts before commit.
• Production compilation only; gameplay tests were not run at the user's request.

0.1.6

• Replaced the package icon with the approved glowing rift and crossed axes.
• Added a chest-style warehouse window with item icons, quantities, item selection, drag-and-drop, Shift-click and double-click stack transfer.
• Added separate warehouse and character inventory grids with scrolling; storage has no fixed slot cap and only a bounded visible window is transferred/rendered.
• Preserve native item payloads, including quality, durability and enchantment data.
• Removed redundant character reloads and the extra save after commit acknowledgement. Native save success remains mandatory before warehouse commit.
• Quick resource deposits prepare one stack per frame and save up to eight receipts together; commit requests are processed one per frame.
• Cached receipt decoding and item previews, avoided repeated bulk-transfer UI rebuilds and unnecessary committed-transaction rewrites.

0.1.5

• Fixed endless arena preparation after digging or terrain damage.
• The server now re-levels damaged arena ground even when its terrain compiler already carries the arena preparation marker.
• Included checkpoint support in the repair decision so damage beneath the arrival point can recover too.
• Repair reuses the existing reserved arena and replicated native terrain data without resetting expedition progress.

0.1.4

• Added native arena music: ambient preparation, continuous wave combat music and biome boss themes in round 10. Uses installed clips and the game music volume.
• Reduced resurrection waiting time from 120 to 60 seconds.
• Added ally spectator view instead of the death blackout, with left/right arrow target selection and an arena overview when no ally remains.
• Clearing a wave or completing a round with a surviving ally releases fallen participants from the remaining resurrection wait.
• Preserved server authority, checkpoint spawning and existing inventory/skill protection.

0.1.3

• Restricted the new enemy counts, star progression, elite proportions and faster arch releases to Meadows and Black Forest.
• Restored the previous combat balance for every later biome.
• Kept automatic loot collection and physical readiness circles in all biomes.

0.1.2

• Added physical party readiness circles with a three-second countdown; leaving cancels readiness immediately.
• Start battles and advance after victory without interface confirmation. Arriving at a new arena requires fresh entry into its circle.
• Automatically deposit enemy loot into shared storage after victory, preserving native item data and enchantments. Personal carried items and personal rewards remain separate.
• Added brief visual loot streams toward the warehouse.
• Set solo Viking enemy totals for rounds 1–9 to 10/15/20/25/30/35/40/45/50; preserved difficulty and party scaling.
• Increased starred enemy proportions and arch release speed through the rounds; retained defence, elite and boss encounters.
• Preserved existing active combat spawn budgets when upgrading a save.

0.1.1

• Added the authored stone gate shell and its construction icon.
• Separated opening the outside gate from entering the arena. Each player enters by walking into the rear rift with a valid key for that gate.
• Kept the doorway and front vestibule freely walkable in both directions.
• Replaced the separate wooden arena exit portal with a matching, permanently open gate behind the arrival checkpoint.
• Added an individual return route through the arena gate without requiring a key, available between levels.
• Oriented arrival toward the arena and protected arrival, return and respawn from immediate repeated transfers.
• Kept arena services clear of the return gate, including on saved layouts.
• Included expedition trials, the central next-level circle, shared warehouse controls and personal rewards.
• Prepared the early-release package with English and Russian instructions.

The latest gate-route validation passed on Valheim 1.0.12. Full multiplayer playthrough and complete progression balance testing remain in progress.
