Wolfborn

Wolfborn

This mod creates a new rare category of alpha wolves in any Mountain biome in your world: the Wolfborns.

Once tamed, they will feature a new gradual enhancement system as they accompany you on your adventures in Valheim!

Note: The purpose of this mod is to be as "vanilla-friendly" as possible and as integrated and organic to Valheim's original atmosphere as it can be. Have fun!

Description

Wolfborns are tamer alpha wolves that carry a lot of personality and acquire protection from a solar spectrum in their essence when they feel bonded to a warrior companion. They can spawn in any Mountain biome of your world along with other wild wolves, appearing in White, Gray, or Black fur. You will easily recognize them in a pack if you have the chance to encounter them.

Still holding the ancestral blood of a good companion for a warrior, they will not abandon you if they are properly tamed and trained as they adventure in Valheim with you. They will become part of your family when tamed, and you will see them grow imposing enough to strike fear into enemies as they increase in physical size and gain experience exploring and helping you on your adventures.

A supernatural capacity of protection from a solar spectrum makes them able to answer your call whenever you summon them through a Wolfborn Totem. They also will not die due to having this gift (unless you want to sacrifice them), being protected by having great bravery and loyalty to you and remaining eternally faithful as the duty of an implacable wolf!

Features

New category of wolves (Wolfborns) with a new fur color in addition to the game's default fur color:

• Adds a new category of wolves to tame which will spawn by default in any Mountain biome.
• The spawn chance of a Wolfborn will work as follows:

Whenever a wolf spawns in the biome, the game will roll to determine if it will be a Wolfborn. Based on only a 20% spawn chance, besides making this roll, the mod will also respect whether the Wolfborn spawns with stars or not.

• The chances of a Wolfborn spawning with stars will work as follows:

A zero-star wolf in Valheim has an 89% default chance of spawning near a player => within this spawn, there is a 20% chance it will be a zero-star Wolfborn. A 1-star wolf in Valheim has a 10% default chance of spawning near a player => within this spawn, there is a 20% chance it will be a 1-star Wolfborn. A 2-star wolf in Valheim has a 1% default chance of spawning near a player => within this spawn, there is a 20% chance it will be a 2-star Wolfborn.

• Following all the spawn chances above, the Wolfborn will still have a chance to spawn in the following fur colors:

White (game default - for any star Wolfborn's), Gray (mod variant color - for 1-star Wolfborn's), and Black (mod variant color - for 2-star Wolfborns).

Keep looking for your perfect Wolfborn and eventually it will answer your call, but know that it won't be that easy!

Note: these spawns also work for already created worlds, as long as the mod is correctly installed (see installation description below)!

Level System with Custom Hover

• Adds a Level system to tamed Wolfborns (Level 1 to 10), allowing them to increase their XP points to gain HP and Bonus Damage as they advance in levels. These attributes can be tracked through a custom Valheim-style hover when aiming at your Wolfborns.

XP System

• Creates a passive XP points counter based on the distance the Wolfborn walks alongside the player: 2 points for every 25 meters (the "Stay" function does not grant passive XP points).
• Creates an active XP points counter based on the last hit it deals to an enemy: 15 points upon executing enemies (if the Wolfborn does not land the last hit, these points do not count).

New fur color beyond the game's default color

• Adds a new fur color variant in addition to Valheim's default wolf color (applies only to Wolfborns), where they can have a chance to spawn as: White (Valheim's default color), Dark
