Oof

See the weight. Feel the load.

Early release · 0.6.3

A pocketful of feathers and a stack of iron take up the same space in your inventory. Oof makes their weight easier to see.

Patterns behind your items change with stack weight: heavier stacks can have denser lines, stronger colour or deeper waves. Choose a look you like, then adjust it while looking at your actual inventory.

Features

• Weight patterns in your inventory and open chests.
• A gallery of ready-made looks, including Designer’s picks and Featured looks.
• Waves, dots, woven lines, colour fields, rings and more.
• Optional labels showing the exact weight of each stack.
• Live controls for pattern density, opacity, thickness and wave depth.
• Personal presets you can name, save and export.

Client-side only. Install Oof on your own PC. Your server and friends do not need it. Item weights, stack sizes and gameplay are unchanged.

Install

Oof requires BepInExPack_Valheim.

When Oof is available in the mod catalogue: select your Valheim profile in Gale, search for Oof by DJ_Lifecoach and install it with its dependencies. Use Launch modded to start the game.

Have the ZIP instead? Quit Valheim, select your usual Valheim profile in Gale, then choose Import > ...local mod and open Oof-0.6.3.zip without extracting it. For a new profile, install BepInExPack_Valheim first. The same ZIP updates an existing local entry named Oof.

Updates in the same profile preserve your settings and saved looks. If you previously copied the DLL in manually, or are moving from a local ZIP to the catalogue version, remove that old copy first to avoid loading Oof twice. Keep your configuration and presets.

Choose a look

1. Open your inventory.
2. Click the small Oof icon above it.
3. Select a preset. The pattern changes on your inventory items.
4. Open Advanced settings to customise the look.

Gallery tiles show each pattern at the same example weight. Your inventory uses each stack’s actual weight.

Save and export a look

In Advanced settings, adjust the look, enter a name and choose Save as new. Use Update selected to change a personal preset. To customise a built-in look, save your own copy.

Save your changes before exporting. Export selected and Export all save your designs as JSON files. Oof 0.6.3 cannot import or merge these files in-game, so another player cannot apply an exported look directly from the menu. In Gale, choose File > Open profile folder, then open:

• Exports: BepInEx/config/FinnWeightUI/exports/
• Your saved presets: BepInEx/config/FinnWeightUI/presets.json

Exports reuse the same filenames, so copy them elsewhere if you want to keep several versions.

Compatibility

• Oof 0.6.3 is an early release. Compatibility with every inventory or UI mod is not established.
• Patterns appear in the player inventory and open chests. The HUD hotbar and special backpack inventories are not supported.
• AdventureBackpacks: this release recognizes version 2.1.3 only. With another version installed, Oof turns off its patterns, preset selector and editor for that game session. This is a precautionary check in Oof, not a confirmed conflict with every other version. In-game compatibility has not been verified.

Troubleshooting

No Oof icon or patterns? Check that Oof is enabled in Gale and review the AdventureBackpacks note above. If you previously disabled Oof in its config, quit Valheim, choose File > Open profile folder, and open BepInEx/config/finn.valheim.weightui.cfg. Under [Safety], set both Enabled and EnableRenderer to true.

Editor too small? In Advanced settings, find Editor size > Panel size (%). If Oof reports there is not enough room, close the chest or reduce Valheim’s UI scale.

Reporting a problem? Include your Oof version, Valheim version, other inventory/UI mods, a screenshot and the relevant error from BepInEx/LogOutput.log. Remove personal information before sharing logs.
