TotemPins

An add-on for Travel Totems that makes the totems discoverable.

Travel Totem locations show up on the map the same way the trader does. Once anyone gets near enough for that area of the world to load, a pin appears for every player on the server, using the Travel Totems map icon.

The pins don't say which biome a totem is in. The server sends every totem under one neutral name, so all you see is that there's a totem there.

Installation

Install TotemPins on the server and on every player's game.

  • The server marks totem locations so they get map pins and sends them to players.
  • Each player's game draws those pins with the Travel Totems icon.
  • A player without TotemPins just won't see the pins. Nothing breaks.

Travel Totems itself must be installed, as usual.

Existing worlds

Totems in areas that have already been explored are pinned as soon as the server sends its icon list. That happens when a player joins and whenever a new area is generated.

Configuration

The config file is BepInEx/config/valheimtotems.totempins.cfg.

Setting Default Description
Enabled true Turns the feature on or off.
LocationPrefix VV_TravelTotemLocation Locations whose name starts with this get a pin.
UseTravelTotemsIcon true Uses the Travel Totems icon. Needs TotemPins on the server and clients.
IconName StartTemple Vanilla icon to use when UseTravelTotemsIcon is false. This works with a server-only install.
LogIconNames false Client only. Writes every map icon name the game knows to the log.

Server-only mode: set UseTravelTotemsIcon = false to borrow a vanilla icon. Players then don't need TotemPins. If you use StartTemple, keep Travel Totems' AllowSelectDefaultSpawn set to false. Otherwise totem pins become selectable as spawn points on the travel map.

How it works

TotemPins uses Valheim's own trader icon system:

  1. On the server, it switches on "show icon once placed" for the Travel Totems locations.
  2. Still on the server, it renames their icon entries to a single neutral name.
  3. On each player's game, it registers the Travel Totems map sprite under that name.

It doesn't change Travel Totems and doesn't save anything to your world.

Compatibility

  • Built for Valheim 1.0, with BepInExPack 5.4.23.x and Travel Totems 1.0.2.
  • It doesn't use any Travel Totems settings, so it shouldn't conflict with them.
