Skeid
An admin-spawned arcade racecar. Two seats, keys you hand out, and it drives through trees.Skeid
Two drivable cars for Valheim, with arcade handling.
Skeið is Old Norse for a race or a course, and also a class of longship.
The Cars
The coupe is a '67 muscle car. Two seats, and you can paint it any colour.
The lowrider is a 1964 Impala convertible. Four seats, the top is down, and you can see everyone sitting in it.
Both have suspension on all four corners, a handbrake you can slide on, a boost, and an engine note that answers the throttle. They fell any tree they hit, crush the rocks and bushes that would otherwise stop you dead, and pick up anything you drive over rather than destroying it. They float if you put them in water, and take no damage themselves.
Keys
Cars come out of a key rather than being left lying around. Right-click a Car Key and your coupe appears in front of you. Right-click again and it goes away. A Lowrider Key does the same for the Impala.
Any key works, and you can have one car of each kind out at a time. To put a car away you have to be within about twenty metres of it, and it will not vanish with somebody sitting in it.
Keys are ordinary items, so they can be dropped, traded and given out as prizes.
An admin spawns keys and cars from the Highseat Skeid tab or the console.
Driving
| W / S | throttle and brake |
| A / D | steer |
| Shift | boost |
| Right mouse | handbrake, hold it into a corner to slide |
| Space | handbrake in the coupe, hydraulics in the lowrider |
| Use | get out |
The lowrider is long enough to beach itself on rough ground. Press Space and it hops on its hydraulics, which is usually enough to shake it free.
If you land a car on its roof, get out and hold Use on it to flip it back over.
Paint
A spray can repaints your car. Stand next to it, use the can, and pick from fourteen colours. Clicking a colour tries it on the car first, and nothing is used until you press Paint It, so you can look before you spend one.
Your key remembers the colour, so the car comes back the same way you left it. A spare key to the same car learns it too.
On the lowrider only the bodywork changes. The chrome, the whitewalls, the upholstery and the wooden deck stay as they are.
The Stereo
Press F in a car, or standing next to one you have a key to, and paste a YouTube link. Direct MP3, OGG and WAV links work too, and so do internet radio streams.
The sound comes from the car and fades with distance, so it carries to whoever is nearby. Valheim's own music steps out of the way while it plays. Anyone with a key can change the track, and everyone hears the same moment of it.
YouTube needs Odin on Demand installed. Without it the stereo still plays anything the game can decode on its own.

Settings
The Mods tab under Skeid has the handling: top speed, acceleration, braking, steering lock,
grip, handbrake grip, boost length and cooldown. PaintColour is the coupe's default colour as
an HTML hex code, and StereoRange sets how far the music carries.
The lowrider has its own settings for ride height, seat positions and hop strength, all under Model and Car.
Installing
Everyone needs it, including the server, or the cars will not exist for them.
Highseat is required for the tab. The cars and the console commands work without it.
