Description

🐦‍⬛ Where The Crow Flies

RavenIron's client companion mod for The Raven's Call: effortlessly witnesses and relays player combat, defense, kills, deaths, crafting, building, foraging, consumption, rituals, and 100% of vanilla stats to the hall's ledger.

🐦‍⬛ What Is WhereTheCrowFlies?

WhereTheCrowFlies is an opt-in client companion mod designed to pair with TheRavensCall (the server-side admin and chronicle mod).

In Valheim's peer-to-peer multiplayer simulation model, combat calculations, creature deaths, damage, parries, building, crafting, foraging, and fishing are simulated locally on the client that owns the local zone or character. WhereTheCrowFlies acts as the client-side scout—observing all gameplay events with zero client lag and securely reporting them back to dedicated servers running TheRavensCall via routed RPC.

⚙️ Features

Full-Coverage Kill & Death Tracking: Reports creature kills with star level, boss status, tamed flag, weapon damage type, biome, and coordinates. Reports player deaths with 15+ rich computed causes (bosses, monsters, PvP opponents, drowning, falls, burning, poison, smoke, tree crush, falling stalactites).
Combat & Defense Telemetry: Segregates PvE vs PvP damage dealt/taken, tracks hit counts, shields/weapon blocks, perfect timed parries, and total mitigated damage.
Smart 10-Second Batching: Aggregates continuous high-frequency telemetry (damage, defense, stat deltas) into compact 10-second batches, eliminating network congestion during massive raids.
Crafting, Upgrading & Repairs: Captures crafted items, quality upgrades, quantities, and crafting station origins.
Building & Demolitions: Records piece placements and structure demolitions with piece categories and coordinates.
Harvesting, Foraging & Agriculture: Relays berry/mushroom foraging, farm crop harvests, beehives, and sap extraction.
Survival & Consumables: Tracks food items eaten, health/stamina/eitr gains, and potion/mead consumption.
World Rituals & Exploration: Captures boss altar offerings/summons, portal traversals with tags, and Forsaken power activations.
100% Vanilla PlayerStat Delta Sync: Intercepts all 105 vanilla PlayerStatType counters (distances traveled, jumps, arrows fired, skeleton summons, time in base, sleep, tree chops, mining hits, etc.) and synchronizes deltas to the server.
Full Stat & Skill Backfill: Broadcasts a full absolute snapshot of all 105 stats plus every raised Skills.SkillType (level and progress) on spawn and on a configurable interval (default 5 minutes) — so pre-existing totals a player already earned show up immediately, not just future deltas.
Zero In-Game Overhead: Runs completely in the background without UI or performance penalty.
Safe Everywhere: Connects safely to vanilla servers or servers without TheRavensCall with silent no-op dispatch.

1.1.0 Latest

Added

StatSnapshot (Event Type 11): Full absolute value of all 105 vanilla PlayerStatType counters, flushed on a configurable interval (FullSyncIntervalSeconds, default 5 minutes) and once immediately on spawn/join. Unlike StatSync's deltas, this backfills a player's pre-existing totals automatically (no data earned before install, or lost to a dropped packet, is ever missing) — the receiver assigns rather than accumulates each value.
SkillSnapshot (Event Type 12): Full skill state (level 0-100 and progress toward the next level) for every Skills.SkillType the player has raised at least once, on the same interval/on-spawn cadence. Skills were previously not reported at all.
Immediate on-spawn backfill: both new snapshot types also fire once the instant the local character spawns, instead of only waiting for the next scheduled resync, so a player who connects and disconnects quickly still backfills.
FullSyncIntervalSeconds config option (default 300, floor-clamped to 10): the two new snapshot types run on their own clock, deliberately decoupled from the pre-existing 10-second combat/damage-batch cadence — a full snapshot is idempotent and not latency-sensitive, so it doesn't need to match that cadence.

Fixed

Closed the gap where a player's true lifetime stats (as shown on their own client) could permanently diverge from what the server ever received, since StatSync only reported deltas observed after this mod was installed.
