Commands

Player Commands

• .pond
  • Converts the nearest pool into a fishing pond. Must be standing near a decorative pool or water well.
  • May require items if pond creation cost is configured by admin.
• .pond info
  • Shows the current pond settings including respawn time, drop table, and territory limit.

Admin Commands

• .pond respawn (minTime) (maxTime)
  • Sets the minimum and maximum time between fish respawns in seconds.
• .pond cost (item) (amount)
  • Sets the item cost required to create a pond. Use item name or PrefabGUID. Use clear, set amount to 0 or specify no parameters to clear cost.
  • Example: .pond cost Stone 10
  • Example: .pond cost clear
• .pond limit (number)
  • Sets maximum ponds allowed per territory. Use -1 for unlimited.
• .pond globaldrop (dropTable)
  • Sets the global drop table used by all new ponds. Set to 0 or clear to return to default region-based fish.
• .pond override (dropTable)
  • Sets an override drop table for the pond you're looking at, not beholden to global changes. Set to clear to place it back on global.

Installation

1. Install BepInEx for V Rising
2. Install VampireCommandFramework
3. Place KinPonds.dll in your BepInEx/plugins folder
4. Restart your server

Additional Notes

• If a droptable's first layer of drops does not add up to 100%, the rest is the chance of no reward.
• Updating the global droptable will effect all globally set ponds. It will not change overridden ponds.
• If you use the console teleport unit on a pond, it will divorce the fishing spot, but they'll still "togther". Just remove pond or don't teleport them.
• If you set a cost hoping for an item entity instead of just a prefab (like a blood potion), it'll want the empty non entity prefab version. So no "warrior blood" cost, it'll just want frail.
• Want to change permissions on any command? Use [VRoles](https://thunderstore.io/c/v-rising/p/odjit/VRoles/} to allow or prevent any command to players!
