Changelog

All notable changes to Valheim Prefab Parser are documented here.

[2.0.0] - 2026-02-22

Fixed

ObjectDB was empty on parse — the mod used to start parsing immediately after ZNetScene.Awake, before ObjectDB had time to populate. Now a coroutine waits until ObjectDB.instance.m_items.Count > 0 before starting. Singleplayer and multiplayer (via CopyOtherDB fallback patch) both handled correctly.
~2400 prefabs were missing — the Resources.FindObjectsOfTypeAll filter parent == null was discarding child objects inside prefabs (meshes, colliders, LOD levels). Filter removed; total count is now back to ~6000+.
Reflection used for m_boss — replaced GetField("m_boss") with direct access to the public field character.m_boss. Faster and more robust.
O(n²) duplicate check — List.Contains inside the collection loop replaced with HashSet<int> keyed on GetInstanceID(). O(1) per lookup.
Code duplication — ParseSync and ParseCoroutine previously both contained a full copy of the formatting logic. Extracted into a shared BuildContent() method.
Output path — file is now written next to the plugin .dll instead of the root plugins/ folder.
Unused Jotunn dependency — removed from .csproj; the mod has no runtime dependency on Jotunn.

Added

IncludeComponentList config option — when enabled, prints every component on each prefab. Useful for deep inspection. Disabled by default (keeps file small).
Summary table at the top of the output file showing prefab count per category.
30-second timeout in WaitForObjectDBAndParse — if ObjectDB never becomes ready, parsing proceeds with whatever data is available and logs a warning.
Categories 22_Minerals now also catches MineRock5, 32_SFX added for audio-only prefabs without a ZNetView.

Changed

VFX detection now checks for a ParticleSystem component first; name-based fallback (vfx_, sfx_, fx_) is secondary.
Output format improved: added Unicode box-drawing borders, summary section, and timestamp in yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss format.
Version bumped to 2.0.0.

[1.0.2] - initial release

Initial public release.
Categorized prefab dump from ObjectDB, ZNetScene, and Resources.
Coroutine mode to reduce frame hitches.
