Important Info for Admins
This topic requires improvement!
Using Easy Spawner:
- Anything spawned in will become permanent, meaning when it's destroyed it will be flagged for respawn. CTRL + Z does not avoid the respawn. Use local worlds for testing, or Debug servers if available.
- Cheat Sword can, in most cases, make object non-respawnable. Never use Cheat Sword on normal objects that should respawn. It is only to change an admin spawned object into a non-respawner upon destruction.
Admin Policy:
- No Admins (or Thanes) are to use any of their admin privileges for personal gain in any way. The toolkit provided is to assist other players where the game or server is at fault. Failure to follow Admin Policy will result in Ban from our servers.
- Our Admins are expected to play the game as any other player, without any additional benefits. While some servers might allow for this benefit, we do not, ever. Granting special benefits is equal to taking away the game. Admins that are not here to play the game have found the wrong server. Cheats and other benefits can be done in local worlds if such is desired. We are not interested in any “Admin only” roles, our server host and King Haraln/Eric will never do such thing either, despite having most hands full maintaining the server over playing the game and expects every Admin to follow the same principles.
- Admins (Thanes) will not recover items or other losses in general. Bugs or issues with the game is considered “part of the game” and it's players responsibility to act accordingly. For example, a thrown weapon may glitch through the ground and fall into the abyss, this can happen in vanilla game with spears. Logging out quickly after moving items between character and world also poses a high risk of item loss, players not allowing server to sync up to client changes should be aware of the consequences and act accordingly.
- Only server host (Harald/Eric) are able to fully recover a character from a backup file, as we do not want someone to lose months of progress on enchanted items for unreasonable bugs, a full character recovery can be done if needed upon request, but players are expected to avoid repeating the same mistake again if possible.
- Admins (Thanes) do not recover other items in general, as Valheim is far from perfect, and our Thanes are volunteers, we do not want a fulltime job recovering every lost piece of items, saying yes to one means we must say yes to all.
