About this mod Author’s original text

Classic Walk

By maving. Version 1.0.1.

Use Classic Movement Animations for Walk, Run and Sprint instead of the new disney like animations in 1.0

Press F6 to switch between Classic Walk and the Original 1.0 movement.

You can see the difference here

Movement speed and combat mechanics are not modified.

(This change also helps with the increased head bob)

Installation

Requires BepInExPack Valheim 5.4.2350. Import this local ZIP into your mod manager, or close the game and extract its BepInEx folder into your game/profile root.

The plugin files must be together:

BepInEx/plugins/ClassicWalk/

ClassicWalk.dll

classicwalk.bundle

Controls and configuration

The config file is created after the first launch:

BepInEx/config/maving.classicwalk.cfg.

[General]

ToggleKey = F6

StartEnabled = true

  • ToggleKey: choose a key, or None to disable the hotkey.
  • StartEnabled: true starts with Classic Walk; false starts with Disney Walk.
  • Hotkey toggles affect only the current session and do not save over your config edits.
  • Save config changes and toggle off/on with the current key to reload. A new key takes effect on activation. Restart after editing if the hotkey is disabled.
  • StartEnabled affects the next game startup only.
  • These changes mainly affect walk, run, spring and most 1h weapons. 2h weapons still look better with the new animations so they where not changed.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
