Chat in both directions
Shouts always, and normal chat unless you turn it off. Messages from Discord show up in game chat tagged with where they came from, like [Discord] Bjorn: hi. Whispers and pings are never relayed.
Discord relay for Valheim
Two-way chat between your Valheim dedicated server and Discord, with joins, deaths and the state of the world. A free BepInEx plugin.
What gets relayed
What Tunnelcast carries for Valheim
Everything below goes to your Discord channel and the live Portal. Whispers stay in the game.
Deaths
When a player dies, by name.
Joins and leaves
Players joining and leaving, and who is online right now.
World state
The world and its state, in Discord and the Portal.
Remote admin
Kick, ban and restart the server from Discord or the Portal. Map switching doesn't apply: a Valheim server runs one world.
Live status and the Portal
One Discord message that keeps itself up to date with the server, and a live view of the server in the Tunnelcast Portal.
Setup
What your server needs
A BepInEx plugin and one config file. Tunnelcast is in closed beta, so start by requesting access.
Requirements
- A Valheim dedicated server with BepInExPack Valheim (5.4.2350).
- Steam players. Crossplay has not been tested.
Install in short
- Request beta access, then link your Discord server and register the game server in the Portal.
- Put the plugin's files in
BepInEx/plugins/Tunnelcast/. - Set
TokeninBepInEx/config/com.tunnelcast.valheim.cfg. - Restart the server. It shows as online in the Portal and chat starts flowing.
Good to know
What it doesn't do
We'd rather you hear it here than find out on your server.
- Normal chat is heard nearby in game, but the relay picks it up from anywhere on the map. Set
RelayLocalChatto off to relay only shouts. - Deaths come with the name only: no killer, weapon or cause.
- Valheim has no teams, rounds or score, so there are none to report.
- The game gives servers no player IP address, so there is no country flag for players.
- Long lines from Discord are split into several chat lines.
Next step
