NAVIGATION MUSIC (click to expand)
OdinShipPlus adds custom music while navigating at sea.
How it works
- The mod plays music files located in the plugin folder.
- Music is played in random order.
- Music playback is client-side only and is not synchronized with the server.
Default music
- The default file is:
osp_music.ogg
Adding or changing music
You can replace the default music or add more tracks by placing.ogg files with the following names:
- osp_music.ogg
- osp_music1.ogg
- osp_music2.ogg
- osp_music3.ogg
All valid files will be played randomly during navigation.
Disabling custom music
- To keep the vanilla Valheim navigation music, simply delete osp_music.ogg
- Restart the game after removing the file.
Supported format
- Only.ogg audio files are supported.
- Use any audio converter to convert your music to OGG format.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- 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.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- 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.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
