OATHBOUND 0.21.6 - WORK IN PROGRESS
By Lion And Otter - https://lionandotter.com/oathbound/

WINDOWS / STEAM CLIENT ALL-IN-ONE
Includes BepInExPack Valheim 5.4.2350 and Jotunn 2.30.1.
Built for Valheim 1.0.15. Jotunn is required on every client and server.
Back up characters and worlds before installing.

1. Close Valheim.
2. In Steam, right-click Valheim > Manage > Browse local files.
3. Extract ALL ZIP contents beside valheim.exe. Merge folders and replace files.
4. Start through Steam. Visit the Oathstone near the starting circle.

WANT CLASSES WITHOUT RAID CHANGES?
After launching once, close Valheim normally. Edit the existing setting in
BepInEx/config/local.warrior.rpg.cfg:

[Sieges]
Enabled = false

Save and restart. This restores vanilla raids while keeping classes and EXP.
It does not disable vanilla raids or change the world's raid frequency.
In multiplayer, save and stop the server normally, edit the SERVER config,
then restart it and reconnect. Client preferences cannot override the host.

PREFER A CLASS BUTTON?
In the same file, set:

[Classes]
AccessMode = MenuButton

Save and restart. A Classes button below the inventory replaces the Oathstone.
The default is Oathstone. Class progress is preserved.

Server and clients must use this same 0.21.6 release. Replace BOTH DLLs in
BepInEx/plugins/WarriorRpg; do not retain duplicate mod installations.
This release adds defense branches to all thirteen classes, 79-node trees,
a level-80 cap, health-scaled guards and defensive effects. It also includes
Monk, Warlock and controls fixes and removes boss alerts from the summoned whelp.
If it does not load, check BepInEx/LogOutput.log for missing dependencies and
remove duplicate old Oathbound DLLs. See the guide's troubleshooting section.

Older progression save formats migrate to format 7 and refund spent points once.
Class EXP and levels carry over; Raider progress becomes Breaker progress.
Format-7 characters are not refunded again. Keep backups before upgrading:
older releases cannot read the new save format. Update all players together.
Rebind keys in the config: [Mage] SpellSelector / CastSpell and
[Hunter] CallCompanion. Existing customised bindings carry over.
Linux servers need a Linux loader; this Windows loader is for Windows clients.

See Oathbound-Notices/Oathbound-guide.md for full instructions and limitations.
See Oathbound-Notices for upstream loader licenses and sources.
