Realistic Spears

  • ever wanted to use spears like actual spears in Valheim?
  • Now you can!
  • This mod changes the attack animations of spears to use the sword secondary attack animation instead of the poke attack animation.
  • It also doubles the animation speed to make it feel more responsive, using Blaxxun's AnimationSpeedManager as a library. (to hopefully avoid compatibility issues)
  • slight tweaks to the spear attack range and angle to make it more balanced and feel natural.
  • This release is for testing and feedback within my small community, and it has not been tested for crossplay.

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.
