About this mod Author’s original text
SignColorPicker
Choose the color of your Valheim sign text without typing color tags manually.
SignColorPicker adds a Color button to the standard sign editing window and opens a palette of colored squares in a frame matching the game UI.
Features
- 20 built-in choices, including the standard sign color.
- Additional custom colors configured as HEX values.
- Color applies to the entire sign text.
- The first square restores the standard color by removing color tags.
- Цвет for a Russian game client; Color for every other language.
- Configuration changes apply automatically, including while the palette is open.
- Standard OK and Cancel behavior.
Installation
Install Mod Manager or r2modman.
For manual installation, install BepInExPack Valheim and copy SignColorPicker.dll into BepInEx/plugins/SignColorPicker.
This is a client-side mod. Install it on the client editing signs; installation on a dedicated server is not required. Other players see colored text through the game's standard sign formatting.
Usage
- Open a sign for editing.
- Enter your text and click Color.
- Select a colored square.
- Click OK to save, or Cancel to discard changes.
Existing color tags are replaced when selecting a color. Other formatting tags are preserved. The palette is designed for mouse input.
Configuration
Created after the first launch:
BepInEx/config/com.xtasy.ValheimSignColorPicker.cfg
The internal identifier is retained even though the display name is SignColorPicker.
[Palette]
CustomColorsHex = #FFAA00, #66CCFF, #8B4513, #AA33DD
Separate colors with commas or semicolons. Supported formats: #RRGGBB and #RRGGBBAA; the leading # is optional. An empty value disables extra colors. Invalid entries are skipped and logged.
Custom colors appear after the built-in palette. Save the config to apply changes automatically; the mod checks for file changes every 0.5 seconds. The open palette updates without restarting the game. The sign text changes only when you select a color.
Русский
Мод добавляет кнопку «Цвет» в стандартное окно редактирования таблички. Палитра состоит из цветных квадратов без подписей и оформлена рамкой в стиле игры.
- 20 встроенных вариантов, включая стандартный цвет.
- Дополнительные HEX-цвета через параметр CustomColorsHex.
- Цвет применяется ко всей надписи. Первый квадрат сбрасывает окрашивание.
- При русском языке игры кнопка называется «Цвет», при любом другом — Color.
- После сохранения конфига палитра обновляется автоматически, даже в открытом окне.
- Установка нужна только клиенту, редактирующему таблички; на сервер мод ставить не требуется.
Откройте табличку, введите текст, нажмите «Цвет», выберите квадрат и сохраните кнопкой OK. «Отмена» оставляет табличку без изменений.
Конфиг: BepInEx/config/com.xtasy.ValheimSignColorPicker.cfg. Пример с несколькими цветами приведён выше. Неверные значения пропускаются с предупреждением в логах.
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:
