Create a Custom Save Directory!!! No longer deal with Cross-Build Corruption! Have more then 1 Mod Pack Builds at a time!

Intro

This is going to Help keep any Heavy Mod Changes from breaking anything due to an Update or another Valheim Build loading the Default Save Directory. Useful for Multiple Mod Packs!

Download dnSpy – [github.com]  a .DLL Editor

Save Directory Change

-Find the .DLL to Edit and Backup at-

 Valheim\valheim_Data\Managed\a*sembly_utils.dll

–

-Open with/Drag+Drop the a*sembly_utils.dll into dnSpy and Search for “GetSaveDataPath” and Double click on it to decompile for Editing.-

It's possible, go to file

Well that worked! It’s a minor disappointment that the %username% doesn’t work but it’s not important at all xD

Essentially to clear up some Detail issues it’s like this to change the FULL Save Directory.

a*sembly_utils.dll

Search for GetSaveDataPath

Cla*s: public static cla*s Utils
Method: public static string GetSaveDataPath()

-Right Click and select-

Edit Method (C#)…

Just remove THIS from method

{
 if (Utils.m_saveDataOverride != null)
 {
 return Utils.m_saveDataOverride;
 }
 return Application.persistentDataPath;
 }

and do

{
return "Path";
}

Example “Path”

"C:/Users/%username%/AppData/LocalLow/IronGateEA/Valheim0.146.11";

Complete Example

// Token: 0x02000012 RID: 18
public static cla*s Utils
{
 // Token: 0x06000063 RID: 99 RVA: 0x0000260F File Offset: 0x0000080F
 public static string GetSaveDataPath()
 {
 return "C:/Users/SlikRick/AppData/LocalLow/IronGateEA/Valheim0.146.11/";
 }
}

Outro

It’s Important to Note that this was done with 0.147.3 and works back to 0.145.6.

Any Further and the Process is DIFFERENT!!!

Tested and Still Works on 0.206.5
