I thought it would be impossible, but with what you should, I know I can do it now! 🤔 I just wonder if I can also use ocean, instead of cave or crypt for the water. Do you happen to know? (I haven't tested it yet :D )

[@therealstonedprophet]

@@IlseMulAuthor at the moment it’s just cave and crypt as they are the only separate waters in game. Not sure why ocean isn’t an option. These are all just tools built into the game from the Dev Code. So it’s not so kich making a new mod, more unlocking keys and adding new parameters that already exisit inside the source code and Unity as a whole.

@Stonedprophet Oh well, for now cave water will also work, I guess 😀 I can always change it later if and when it becomes available.

[@croweater78]

Ah thank you man, I think your videos might be able to help me with what I am planning. I started a casual server and we did pretty well, we're silver wolf armoured and up to Moder, but people are starting to fall away and leave the server - I want to new people to join the server but still give them the "fresh world" experience. I want to move the spawn "Sacrificial stones" over to another meadow. Theres Dark woods over there that havn't been plundered so a new group of players could join and it'd still be pretty fresh around new spawn. Is this possible? I'll keep watching your vids to try to learn.

[@lolprohighlights1629]

how to set up mods to undo let's say entire building piece that you copied before? cause my "undo" undo only piece by piece...

[@beyondropeandfence9827]

so you can create a campaign and funnel the player to where to go make more linear.

[@therealstonedprophet]

Absolutely! I was actually working on something exactly like that, but it’s a lot of work for one person and I didn’t have the time to finish. But if you download my modpacks from Thunderstore, anyone can put the world on their server and try what I finished. And then they can use that to make their own or just add onto what I started.

[@Complex_Terms]

Thank you so much for the video man, this is such a gamer changer for me. How is that that you bind "undo" to a hotkey? Also, are you able to use the are pipette tool @5:32 to just delete things in groups rather than clone them? Thanks again

[@AstraI1]

Can you save a build plan(massive structure and tunnels) and put it on another server?

[@therealstonedprophet]

Absolutley. You can use the Infinity Hammer and not even use the Plan Build mod. It will save is as a blueprint file which you can then use on another server just by placing it down. I don’t think the blueprints need to be on the server. Only locally and then it places that build onto the server using that local blueprint.

Hi, the commands on my console don't work, it's already active on Steam but when I write a command they simply don't work. can you help please?

[@therealstonedprophet]

I had this issue as well. A mod you are using is interfering with the console. Try uninstalling/disabling groups of mods in stages to see if you can isolate the mod. It is not simple but it is the most effective method with troubleshooting. Sometimes, you take half your mods, disable them. Then if the problem is gone, it’s in that group. If not, you know the mod is in the other half. And so on. Sorry, I’m sure you were hoping for a better or more simple answer.

You have both World edit and Infinity hammer and you have no EXTRA tool options in the Hoe when you pull up the terrain menu? Like, you go to try and level the ground, and there are no extra options there in that menu?

[@King_Georges_Calcified_Elbow]

same. All I have is pipette, pick and area pipette.

The Hoe tools should not include any hammer area select or building pipette tools. Those should all be in the hammer.

Infinity hammer was recently split into two mods. The Infinity Tools I believe contains what you are looking for.

[@davidcurtis7776]

Great stuff thanks so much! One thing. I only have the yellow box no circle when using the hoe. Do you know how i get that working?

[@therealstonedprophet]

Are you an admin or are you working in Single-player? I would also use Server Dev Commands by the same mod author. You may need chests/admin rights to use some functions. Otherwise, you should see a full row of Hoe options including Slope, Reset, and painting the ground different textures. If you’re not seeing those options using the Hoe then either you don’t have devcommands active/or aren’t an admin or the mod is not installed correctly? Are you also using a mod manager program to download and install the mods? If you need more help, joining my discord my be more efficient.

Everything actually works! I just do not get the white circle that shows how much I am increasing or decreasing the radius. I'm admin playing on a locally hosted server. I've also just been installing them manually. @@therealstonedprophet

[@musicbox7601]

I wanted no resource building but I still want to have structural limitations. I can’t figure out how to turn off infinite build height in infinity hammer. I ticked all the boxes but still can have floating pieces

[@therealstonedprophet]

Maybe another mod you are using? Server dev commands mod or Azu Wear and Tear patchers? I can’t think of what would keep pieces floating if it wasn’t one of those or something specific to the structural integrity system. Sorry, that’s about all I know.

[@musicbox7601]

Thanks for the quick response! I just got my first chance to play again. I found it within infinity hammer, not sure what it was since I reset everything. I might add settings back in a little at a time to identify it.

[@KevinJohn556]

Say I built a structure off line with mods and turned them off could I play with my buddy online with my structure still in place?

[@therealstonedprophet]

Sure, that’s entirely possible. But if you add any modded pieces (build pieces from a mod) or any custom spawners, altars, etc… from Spawner Tweaks, they will not be there. But anything you do using vanilla pieces and creatures will be the same for them. Same thing with Plan Build (blueprint mod). Any imported structures will be there as long as they are using vanilla pieces. Hope that helps

[@Zeldo363]

is there a a way to download somewhere those terrain editing tools for hoe in .yaml file? i really dont want to bother making it all from scratch, id rather download another terrain editing mod

[@therealstonedprophet]

I believe Infinity Hammer and Infinity Tools are now two separate mods. I haven’t tried them since the update (a few days ago) but I believe all the “Hoe” / terrain commands have been split in that separate mod. I think I show this in my other Infinity hammer video? Like the actual use of those hoe commands.

In the ESP mod, there are like a million slide tabs that you can toggle. I forget which one but one of the “spawner” related sliders, just slide it to “1” or on or to the right. They take a few seconds to show up.

@@therealstonedprophet thanks!

[@Yourname942]

Is it possible to use infinity hammer where you need materials to build? (and limit what you can/can't do) I basically just want a slightly better than vanilla hammer and terrain tool

[@therealstonedprophet]

PlanBuild (if it works still works) does that. But infinity hammer can’t really limit itself because most of its commands are admin based. So limiting would be more like “self control” on your part if you are an admin or playing solo.

[@Yourname942]

I see. I play multiplayer, so I don't want us to cheat, and there is no guarantee they will follow that rule @@therealstonedprophet

[@therealstonedprophet]

I would check out Plan Build mod. It allows for copying and placing blueprints, but you have to build them (add in resources). It also has terrain changing functions but it is designed more for what you are looking for. I think it is still compatible with the latest patch.

[@Shadozera]

nice

[@therealstonedprophet]

Thanks!

[@Elbanjomon]

Is there a way to use the sector function of expand world to take out an entire quarter of the map? for instance, I'd like to take the top right quarter of my current map and replace it all with ocean. Is there an easy way to do that in expand_world.yaml?

[@therealstonedprophet]

well, yes I suppose its possible. You would just make a biome that creates just water (lower overall height and make only that biome spawn by increasing the amount to 0.99) then just use the sector parameters to get the right area and then jsut do the mind/max distances and make the distance go all the way out and you'll probably get a pizzsa pie slice of an empty spot.

[@Adam-vl7ur]

Hey, I may be missing something obvious, but how do you unbind commands from your hammer once you’ve used the “hammer” command to bind them- so you can go back to building normally?

[@therealstonedprophet]

Just select something else or go to the build menu and pick something else? I mean, when I type in “ hammer Greydwarf” I get on in my hammer as if I’ve selected it from the build menu. Then, I can place it, or just put my hammer away. If I put my hammer away, and I pull it out again, the Greydwarf will be there still. So if I am placing another thing I just pick it from the regular build menus or just type in a command again. Maybe I’m missing the actual question, sorry. Feel free to re-phrase if I didn’t answer or you haven’t figured it out.

[@Adam-vl7ur]

@@therealstonedprophet that’s the issue- when I go to select something from the build menu it will highlight it but continue placing whatever object I’ve selected from the console instead of that vanilla object. Say I’m placing rocks. I go to select a wood beam. It will keep placing rocks.

[@Adam-vl7ur]

@@therealstonedprophet Update: I figured it out. All I had to do was use specifically my mouse to select it. (I’m playing with an Xbox controller)

Hello Stonedprophet ! Thx for the great Video ! ..... but i have some questions , maybe you or someone else here can help me out !? I installed the Modmanager and so far is everything working. i also installed then Server commands, Infinity hammer and worldedit. i also add my steam id in the g portal configuration list. But no commands are working. or im just to dump to activate / use these mods ? Maybe your or someone else can help. Thank you

[@therealstonedprophet]

Hey there! So, yes it sounds like you did everything right (g-portal configuration list = admin list I’m assuming?) If you go into the cfg file for server dev commands (or use the cfg manager GUI in-game which is way easier) and check all the boxes for * Automatic devcommands = true * and all the other stuff you want to turn on automatically. I’m almost certain, assuming you setup everything correctly, you should just be able to type “devcommands” in the console without doing anything and then you can enable God, nocost, ghost, etc…. But there are on/off switches for that stuff in the actual cfg so you don’t have to worry about it every time you log in. If you mean that you’ve already done that stuff and no actual commands are working then maybe you aren’t on the admin list correctly or something else isn’t installed right. Hope that helps and let me know if you have any more questions. 👍

how do you bind the undo/redo? without mod manager or do i need to install one? i haven't done it only directly installed all my mods to my bepinex folder plugins thanks!

[@therealstonedprophet]

Hi there! So the command to bind ANYTHING in console is ‘bind *key* *command* ’ So to bind undo or redo it would be ‘ *bind keypad7 undo’* . But without the quotes obviously. You can bind a key to do anything. ‘ *bind keypad5 terrain level circle=10 paint=paved* ’ That would bind your numpad 5 key to levels the terrain in a 10m circle and make it paved ground.

[@mhae3769]

@@therealstonedprophet thank you :)

[@therealstonedprophet]

I would always recommend using a mod manager only because it separates the mod files from the base game completely and organizes it visually in a way that seems helpful. But yeah, you don’t need the mod manager to do anything in-game. I think.

[@ChuckHickl]

I know this isn't the topic of this video but with like-minded people here, I thought this would be as good a place to ask as any. Has anyone ran across a straight-forward method to run debugmode on a dedicated server. I have set up a dedicated server myself and assigned myself as an admin but am stiill unable to run debugmode on the server. I know this is disallowed by default but I can't imagine the devs did not provide a way to configure the server to allow this. I want to run a server that allows anyone joing to use any QOL mods they want and as Admin of the server, I want to be able to used debugmode to traverse the world and build with freefly. Any help appreciated.

[@therealstonedprophet]

Hi there! So if you are using mods, you should be using Server Dev Commands. This can set debugmode on by default when you join your server. But you SHOULD be able to enable cheats through the console by typing in *devcommands* and then *debugmode*. Unless there is something about your server config that is very unique, ALL dedicated server admins should be able to enable debugmode. valheim.thunderstore.io/package/JereKuusela/Server_devcommands/ That, World Edit, and Infinity Hammer are like the 3 main mods to do any admin world editing. It’s just that Server Devcommands just activates and turns stuff on or off and that’s it.

[@ChuckHickl]

@@therealstonedprophet I can confirm that on my personal, dedicated server, debugmode is disallowed out of the box. A dedicated server is different than playing locally on a machine and the devs have configured permissions differently for each. This is a known attribute with dedicated servers and not a supposition on my part. I haven;t plaed Valheim for a year or so so I am back for a playthorugh based on Mistlands release and thought I would check on this ability once again. I'll take a look at the mod once I get home this evening. Thanks for the response.

[@therealstonedprophet]

@@ChuckHickl understood. Sorry, just from comments, it’s hard to gauge people’s knowledge and experience. I haven’t run a server off one of my own machines so I suppose I didn’t know that. Regardless, if for some reason Server Devcommands doesn’t work for you (it should because it overrides the vanilla systems), and you are still having trouble getting debug mode functioning, I would head here and ask. discord.gg/WFX2nC99 Odinplus Mod dev teams plus a TON of other active modders there. Guarantee someone there can help if you need it. Good luck!

[@ChuckHickl]

@@therealstonedprophet I have used PlanBuild before and I do know for a fact the dependencies that PlanBuild mod requires are diallowed natively on dedicated Valheim servers. If you are of a mind to so so, I feel it important to make the distinction between a locally hosted game that any Valheimn player can invite other players to in any individual session vs. a dedicated Valheim server that hosts public players and can be hosted by individuals or server hosting companies like G-Portal, et al. Mods can act differently between the two and/or not work at all one from another. As you stated, you have no way of knowing an individual user's tech capabilities so that warning may go unheeded for most but for the likes of me who is looking for very specific info, having that disclaimer would have saves me some hopes and dreans! Also looking for a true mod for underground builds other than the "under the giant rock trick". Cheers...

[@therealstonedprophet]

@@ChuckHickl there are several “below ground” mods but none give a true sense of “I dug down and now I’m in a cave”. I’ve had to do that manually with a heightmap mod and world edit commands to change terrain and add new rocks/vegetation to make it look like it’s a hollowed cave. Odin’s Undercroft, Mineshafts, and odin’s Hollow. There might be another “basement” mod that might be called basement something. They are all still up to date and functional. As for PlanBuild, I mean I use that every day and Infinity Hammer has the same functionality, just without the UI and some other things. So PlanBuild is definitely works. And I have two videos detailing mod installation on a hosted dedicated server AND local mod installation which do break down the distinction between the two. And like I said, if you are having trouble with. Running mods on ANY time of setup, I’d ask at the OdinPlus discord. They don’t just help with mods, they are very knowledgeable Techies that are nice people and have helped many hundreds of people. Maybe more. They know more than me in regards to that Side of things.
