About this mod Author’s original text

OBS: This mods affects both pings and shouts, but in order to keep this description a little cleaner and less repetitive, I'll only say pings. So keep in mind that everytime I say something about pings, it is also valid for shouts.

The Pings Custom Durations mod enhances Valheim by:

  • Increasing the duration at which pings expire, so you don't need to frequently ping in places in order to get there.
  • Allowing you to freeze pings so they don't expire. If you are in the middle of a long trip you can ping your destination (or ask a friend do shout if they are already there) and freeze it by pressing a button, this way you can take as long as you need to get there without ever needing another ping.
  • Allowing you to clear any ping in your screen. This is useful in multiple situations:

If you have set a long duration for pings, you might want to clear them if you get your screen cluttered with pings from multiple players in the server.

If you have frozen pings in your screen but don't need them anymore, you can simply press a button and clear them.

  • Letting you configure values and hotkeys to further customize your experience.
  • Changing the color of pings when you freeze them.

Instalation:

  • This mod requires BepInExPack Valheim
  • Extract the LzD_PingsCustomDurations.dll into the BepInEx plugins folder.

After you are done, the folders should look like this:

BepInEx /

plugins /

LzD_PingsCustomDurations.dll

Usage:

After installing the mod,:

Pings in your game will take longer to expire (you can customize this duration).

You can press RightAlt (you can change this hotkey) to freeze all currently active pings in your screen.

You can press RightControl (you can change this hotkey) to clear all currently active pings in your screen.

Configuration:

This mods allow you to configure it's behavior. To to that, I recomend using Enhanced BepInEx Configuration Manager. But you can also do it manually by editing the file created in "Valheim/BepInEx/config. If you want to do it manually, keep in mind that the file is created when you first launch the game after installing the mod.

In this mod configuration, you can:

Enable / disable the mod completely;

Enable / disable logs;

Change the duration of pings.

Change hotkeys to freeze/clear pings

Change the color of frozen pings.

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.
