About this mod Author’s original text
ShipCameraZoom
Increases the maximum camera zoom-out distance while your character is on a ship — whether steering, riding as a passenger, sitting, or holding the sail rope. Away from the ship, the camera distance smoothly returns to vanilla. Briefly losing contact with the deck (e.g. jumping) does not reset the zoom.
Configuration
Available via ConfigurationManager (F1) in-game, or the config file BepInEx/config/sopmehua.valheim.shipcamerazoom.cfg:
- Enabled — turn the mod on/off.
- ZoomMultiplier — how much to multiply the vanilla max camera distance by while on a ship (default 2.5×).
- ExitZoomSpeed — how fast the camera eases back to the vanilla distance after leaving the ship, in meters/second (default 8).
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.
