Description
\------------
I didn't find a decent mod to just add a free build cam so I made this for myself. I'm sharing this in the hopes I can help other people who
were looking for something similar:).
Installation instructions
\--------------------------
BEPINEX Required.
Place the files from the archive in your Valheim directory.
Steam default: C:\\Program Files (x86)\\SteamIsteamappsIcommon\\Valheim
Use your movement controls to move the camera.
Jumping moves the camera up and crouching moves the camera down.
Main features
\--------------
On keybord press "F6" when holding a hammer.
On controller press both joysticks at the same time while holding a hammer.
This will bring you to the free view where you can build to your heart's content (as long as you have the resources:)).
Press "F6" or both joysticks again to leave the free view.
Wearing the Dverger Circlet will shine a light in the free build cam.
Wearing a Feather Cape will make the mistlands mist disappear in the free build cam.
Shout outs
\-----------
Al and all the stoners out there.
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:
