HoldMySpear

HoldMySpear

A simple spear ownership mod for Valheim.

Why? As a spear user, when playing in multi-player with friends, spears cannot be thrown without risking pickup by another player. Because of this, spear users must essentially opt-out of using the spear's special ability when playing with others to avoid confusion and/or lose their weapon.

This mod solves that issue by providing player ownership of spears.

Ownership

To take ownership of a spear, simply pick up an unowned spear.

Once owned, a spear can be disowned by throwing it on the ground and using the L-Alt + E key combination when hovering over it with your cursor.

Tips

Just like binding a spear to yourself, other players in the world may bind any unbound spear to themselves; for this reason, it's a good idea to take ownership of any spears outside of your inventory when first running this mod (spears in storage, item stands, etc).

Dependencies:

• BepInEx 5.4.2200

Requirements

This mod must be installed on all clients who participate; players without this mod will be able to pick up all spears in the world they have access to.

Installation

Place HoldMySpear.dll into C:\Users\<username>\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\BepInEx\plugins and run Valheim.

Accreditation

Much of the understanding of BepInEx, Valheim and HarmonyX APIs was derived through Azumatt's BindOnEquip plugin.

The name of this project was suggested by Chee, a user on Discord.
