#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Combined Valheim + BepInEx startup script

# 1) Save original LD_LIBRARY_PATH so we can restore at the end
export _OLD_LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"

# 2) BepInEx “Doorstop” loader setup
export DOORSTOP_ENABLE=TRUE
export DOORSTOP_INVOKE_DLL_PATH=./BepInEx/core/BepInEx.Preloader.dll
# TRY Removing the hashtag in front of this next line if script doesn't work:
# export DOORSTOP_CORLIB_OVERRIDE_PATH=./unstripped_corlib

# 3) Make sure Doorstop’s native libs load first
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="./doorstop_libs:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"
export LD_PRELOAD="libdoorstop_x64.so:${LD_PRELOAD}"

# 4) Then prepend the game’s own linux64 folder
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="./linux64:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"

# 5) Tell Steam it’s running Valheim
export SteamAppId=892970

echo "Starting Valheim + BepInEx… PRESS CTRL-C to exit"

# 6) Launch the server (exec replaces this script’s process)
exec ./valheim_server.x86_64 \
-name "servername" \
-port 2456 \
-world "worldsavefilename" \
-password "secret" \
-crossplay

# 7) (Unreachable if exec succeeds—but here for completeness)
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$_OLD_LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
